How To Change Download Open With

When you open a file in Windows, it will usually open in the default application for that type of file. For example, a photo will open in Windows Photo Viewer (or the Photos application in Windows 8) by default. But you may not always want this. In this lesson, we'll show you how to open a file in a different application, as well as how to change the default application so a file will always open in your preferred program.

As you learned in our lesson on Working with Files, you can locate and double-click a file to open it. It will open in the default application for that type of file.

Sometimes you may want to open a file in a different application without changing the default. For example, you may want to open a photo with Microsoft Paint to crop or resize it.

You may prefer to change the default application for certain types of files so they'll always open in the new app when you double-click them. For example, you may want your photos to always open in Windows Photo Viewer instead of the Photos application.

Once I thought, what can happen if I open the CPP file with cmd. I thought it will work similar to the type command in cmd, but when I understand it isn't, I wanted to change the default program from cmd. But I'm unable to change this. I searched in Google and I tried three different ways to change the program but I'm unable to change it. Here are my three ways :-

I went to Default programs -> associate a file type or protocol with a program then I chose .cpp extenstion and when I clicked change button the always use the selected program to open this file was not selected.

Now, can someone tell me a way to change this program from the default program? Because when I want to open this .cpp file it always opens with cmd and I don't want to open this program with cmd. And I don't want to go to Open with -> Notepadevery time I want to open this file with notepad.

Shift-rightclicking an empty spot in Explorer displays "Open with PowerShell" instead of "Open with Command Prompt" since the Creators Update (2017-04). How can I get the old behaviour back where it shows "Open with Command Prompt"?

Open regedit.exe, go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd, take ownership of the key, add your user account full permissions and change the name of the DWORD from HideBasedOnVelocityId to ShowBasedOnVelocityId to enable the command prompt entry again.

As a quick alternative to the other answers, you can type cmd on the address bar of Explorer to open a command prompt cd'd to the current directory. (If you are more of a keyboard person, you can use the Ctrl + L shortcut to focus the address bar and then type cmd.)

Nothing new, but it makes sense since this implementation preserves backwards compatibility. Legacy cmd will start even if PowerShell executable does not exist.

Combination of runas registry key placed directly inside shell key is what grants permissions. And since there may be only one such key in any unique shell key, hence the limitation that forced Andrew to not only use use sub-menus, but make them separate for CMD/PS instead of single sub-menu.

By using single root runas key for elevated cmd.exe explicitly and spawning other entries with PowerShell, it is possible to avoid annoying sub-menus.

By my observation, entries in right-click context menu are sorted in alphanumeric order, the same as they are read from registry. This should explain names for keys in my reg file, other than that they better be pretty unique to not collide with anything possible.

Here's a script that will add the Open command window here to Explorer's right-click context menu. The script uses RunAsTI.bat to add & remove the relevant registry values as the TrustedInstaller account. This obviates changing the registry keys' permissions. Run it from an elevated command window. No restart of anything required to see the change.

If you want to replace the Open PowerShell window here option with Open command window here, or you want to restore the default Open PowerShell window here option, having previously changed it, you can use an enhanced version of the script.

Using a simple text editor such as Notepad, save the following code to a file with the .REG extension (e.g. MyImport.reg). Then double-click the saved file and follow the prompts to import it into the Registry:

I have made it so that any PDF files I download that I want to look at, are opened up with Office Suite, which doesn't work (crashes shortly after I open it up). Is there any way to change the "open with" settings"?

So I want to remove one of Dev-C++ IDE and Microsoft Visual Studio Version Selector (I've tried to install Microsoft Visual Studio and it doesn't works,and one of the Dev-C++ IDE too). But I don't know how to change that list. I am using Ubuntu 11.10.

The default PDF viewer on your computer is a great option for quickly glancing at a PDF. However, while viewing a PDF you may notice changes that need to be made within it. Most default PDF viewers do not have the necessary tools to make edits or collaborate with coworkers. You may want to change your default PDF viewer to Adobe Acrobat in order to have the editing and collaboration tools you need all in one place.

I am on 14.04 and want to set a custom application (subtitleeditor) to open xml files. This question does not apply to me: How to set default program? because not matter what I do, the default program to open xml files stays the default browser set by System setings>Details>Default applications.

Is there a way to change what applications is used to open folders in gnome activities search? I while ago i installed ranger and all of a sudden it took over as the default folder viewer, i kinda liked ranger so i did not mind. But i installed Visual Studio Code a few days ago and now this took over as the default folder viewer and i want to change it back to Nautilus or Ranger but there seems to be no proper way to do it within the desktop environment, anybody know?

In the How do you want to open this file? selection window, Windows will automatically attempt to identify software you have installed that may work with that file. To view a full list of installed software on your PC, click the More apps option at the bottom of the list.

It used to say PDF Expert up in the corner when I opened a PDF in Files. But then I think I may have opened a PDF in Google Chrome at some point, by mistake, and now it says Google Chrome, which I have no use for, I need to see PDF Expert.

@cheekyjeremy thanks for the suggestion but unfortunately that does not work on my iPad running the latest iOS. I have the default set to PDF Expert on my Mac and I went through the process you suggested for the iPad but the iPad does not change the default open app., in my case it is still defaulting to Bookends.

@cheekyjeremy That seems to have done the trick! I will have to be careful not to open a PDF into Bookends as it seems there may be a bug in iOS 14 that keeps Open In stuck in that app rather than a default app or the last app used to open a file. Thanks a million!

With the new Ubuntu 23.04 release I found myself struggling to find a valid answer to a very simple task. I own a 3D printer and I design stuff in FreeCAD, then export to STL and load this in Cura to slice it and produce gcode for printer. If in Windows 11 there is a 3D viewer application which opens STL files, Ubuntu doesn't come bundled with a similar app and I hate loading every STL file in Cura just to see the 3D model. However, there is fstl, which I found it to be exactly what I was looking for: it is lightweight and it opens STL files.

I installed it from default repositories with sudo apt install fstl. Although this is a GUI app, it can only be started from command line, having no desktop entry to open it from Apps. I didn't have a problem with this, since I knew I could select any executable to open a file with. However, this is is no longer true. The Open With dialog no longer allows users to choose something else besides installed applications.

It automatically sets the default app for opening similar files. This was a case where the most obvious solution was not easy to find. However, now I can double-click STL files and have them opened with fstl.

Thanks! to above answers. On Mac select VS and press [command + ,] or from menubar choose code->Preferences->Settings. It will open the Settings tab and enter live server config in search bar follow the steps given below

I've been used to downloading PDFs on my phone and have them directly saved on my downloads folder. But just recently, whenever I download PDFs, Google Drive viewer shows up. I know there's a download option on Google Drive viewer. But when I open the file, it prompts that there's no app that can read it. I have Acrobat and Drive that I used to read PDFs with.

I think from some of the research I did, the update for Google Drive makes it the default for opening PDFs. I checked the defaults, it did not have one. I just uninstalled the update for Google Drive as a temporary solution.

In my case these instructions meant that I reverted to the older version of chrome that came with my tablet. When I clicked on a PDF file within that old version of chrome and was asked for my choice of viewer, I emphatically chose something non-Google, to be used every time. I was able to view the PDF file within my viewer of choice and got a PDF file in my download folder. 006ab0faaa
