Adding programs to "open with" menu?

Hi TK, I am Paulo and I'd like to help.

You should be able to add a program in Open With if you're able to open the file with that app. Here are the steps:

- Right-click on any .stl file

- Hover on Open with > Choose another app

- Once the list of apps opens, scroll down and click More apps

- Scroll down again then click Look for another app on this PC

- Locate and choose the program

- Once the file has been opened by the app, close it and check if the app is now on the Open with list

- To locate the program, it would be easier to right-click on the app in the Start menu > More > Open file location.

- Once the File Explorer opens the list of Start menu programs, right-click on the shortcut of the app then click on 'Open file location' once again.

 

Adding programs to "open with" menu?

Thank you for the speedy reply, but this solution did not work.
The first set of instructions is the way i normally have to open these files with the various programs all the time and when it comes to the next time of opening them, those programs do not appear in the "open with" list the next time, hence why i posted the question.

With regards to the second part of the advise, Im not sure i understand what you are trying to explain there or its relevance. I followed the instructions and once i clicked on "open file location once again", ive simply got a window open with the programs location... to do what ?
