  1. Cannot choose another app for unknown file types


    Trying to use Houdini network server HQueue.

    I think It's interface needs a browser . Windows 10 showing up this popup and looking for a "localhost" file type. Is there any method to add a "choose another app" option so I can choose a browser.

    Thanks

    file type is not included in the list of types to choose from to associate a file with

    in "Choose default apps by file type" in Windows 10, there are two file types that are not listed; how do I add a file type to the list so that I can associate that file type with a file. For example, I often receive a file that has a file type of .stmt
    and another fle with a file with the name viewdoc.file. They are both PDF files. But neither of these file types are available for me to choose from in the default list. How do I add them?

    choose default apps by file type

    Hi Sunil

    Right click a file with that extension, choose 'Open with' - Choose Another App

    Check the box marked 'Always use this app to open xxx . . .'

    If the app you want to use is not in the list, scroll to the bottom and click 'More Apps'

    Again if the app is not in the list, at the bottom, click 'Look for another app on this PC', then navigate through file explorer to find the application you want to use
