    Create an Association in the Default Program's Control Program


    I have repeatedly tried on many occasions to send photos to friends using the Mail and Calendar app but am stopped with a message


    'Create an Association in the Default Programs Control Panel'


    I have really tried to manage this but have never yet been successful. I would really appreciate some clear, step-by-step advice about this. It has really caused me problems for a long time. I use Gmail in preference to Outlook and I am too immersed in Gmail communications to change over to Outlook.


    Thank you

    :)

    Create an association in the Default Programs Control Panel?

    1. In the Control Panel Select : Associate a file type or protocol with a specific program.
    2. Wait for it to populate.
    3. Highlight the particular File or Protocol.
    4. Select : Change Program Tab.
    5. A Window opens in which one can select the Program to open it with.
    6. Initially it shows the Default Recommended Program it opens with.
    7. Next to Other Programs you will see a Small Black Down Arrow.
    8. Click on the small black down arrow to see what other Programs are available to try to open it with.
    9. If you see the one that you wish to open it with select it.
    10. If you do not see it you may have to use the Browse Tab and find the Program you wish to open it with.

    ( NOTE ) : In that window at the bottom right hand side you will see a small box with a check mark in it what states : Always use the selected program to open this kind of file.

    I would suggest to temporally remove the check mark whilst testing the File to make sure it opens in the Program that you wish it to open with.

    If it works then go back and re-check that box.

    Possibly some one else could explain this a little better and in short form.

    How do you create an association in Control Panel/Default Programs?

    I wanted to e-mail a newspaper article. I got a warning that I needed to create an association in Control Panel/Default Programs

    with my e-mail program. How is this done? I saw no how-to info in Control Panel/Default Programs. My e-mail program was not listed there,
