Windows 10: Change default file type from *.txt to ALL FILES in notepad

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/change-default-file-type-from-txt-to-all-files-in/1baf2d3a-cd93-4ddc-b021-7e58e48c7693I found an answer far more helpful than this one.I turned to a scripting solution. Use AutoHotkey to do this.

Code:

Loop{WinWaitActive, Open ahk_exe Notepad.exeControlSend, ComboBox2, {Down}, Open ahk_exe Notepad.exeSleep 100ControlSend, ComboBox2, {Down}, Open ahk_exe Notepad.exeSleep 100ControlSend, ComboBox2, {Enter}, Open ahk_exe Notepad.exeWinWaitNotActive, Open ahk_exe Notepad.exe}

It will wait for the Open dialog in Notepad to be open, and once

Can't change default program to open files.

Hi,

I'm trying to change the default program for .dwg files from Autocad to Draftsight.

I already tried:

• right click > open with > choose another app > always use this app. The file opens in Draftsight without problems, but it still opens with Autocad the next time you double click a dwg file.
• settings > apps > default apps > choose default apps by file type. This also does not change the default method to Draftsight.

When I type assoc .dwg in command prompt, it shows ".dwg=DraftSight.Drawing"

I see some suggestions to try using the old interface through control panel, but it seems like control panel routes to the new interface.

I also tried changing the association for .txt files from notepad to notepad++ and it doesn't work either.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
