| | Associating a File Type - Just isn't working I'm having problems trying to get PSD files to be associated with Photoshop. I've done all the typical things you would have to do in Windows7 to associate programs with file types. I've searched for the answer but only found everything that I have already tried. |

| | Did you try the "Open with" route and chose a default program there? Last edited by Brink; 02 Jan 2011 at 06:09 PM.. Reason: added link ;) |

| | You should be able to do step 3 in the tutorial below for "Open with" to manually "Browse" to and select the EXE file of Photoshop. Open With - Change Default Program Hope this helps, Shawn |

| | Which version of photoshop is it? Also is it the same problem with other file types like jpg? Lastly, besides the double click association are you able to or not able to drag and drop a PSD onto an open photoshop? There is some subtle change in DDE I've noticed that prevents some programs from opening files via association or even drag and drop. I.e. Visual studio even WITH the updates. I believe that CS5 works fine with Windows 7 but earlier versions may exhibit the problem. If the answer to all the questions at the top are "no", and your on an older version, then it may not be fixable without an update to photoshop. |

| | Ok, try this: Start Orb -> Default Programs Click "Set your default programs" <wait...> Click on the "Windows Photo Viewer" when it shows up in the list. Click "Choose Defaults for this program" If you see ".psd" files listed, uncheck it. Close everything then re-assiciate PSD files with photoshop and see if it sticks... |
