File association settings for Win 7 system: Open the file by default using your choice

        Double-clicking to open a file is the most basic operation of the most computer, but it is such a simple action, the operating system will often make mistakes. For example, if you want to open a picture, if two softwares that can open the picture are installed in Win7, the system may confuse the two softwares and call the wrong program to open the picture. Although Win7 is very smart, it hasn't reached such a level of understanding, but as long as we tell Win7 what program we want to open, it is definitely a good boy. Here we use the file association settings in Win7.

video files, for example, first of all, open a file folder to store pictures or photographs. Right click on any image file and select "Open Method - Select Default Program".

select the program you want to use the "Open" and "Recommended Programs".

If the program is not listed in the "Recommended Programs" list, you can click on the small black arrow to the right of "other programs" below to continue to look, if you still can not find, then click below the bottom right corner of the window "Browse" button, find through the directory.

After you find the program you want to associate, and check the "Always use the selected program to open this file" and finally click "OK" to save and exit.

After such a setting, the future of this type of file will default to use the program of your choice open. If you don't have a program installed on your computer that can open certain types of files, you can also click the "Find the appropriate program on the Web" link. Win7 will help you find a program on the network that can open this type of file, and give a program download link.
