    File type change issue - win10


    I double-clicked on this file: Karen 05.FAB. This action should have sent the file to the cloud and pasted a picture of a fabric inside a program. That did not happen this time. The action successfully did the correct thing several times prior to this, so I assume I pressed the wrong key or something. What did happen was the box in front of the file was changed to the profile for Adobe Photoshop: Karen 05. (Picture a colored Photoshop emblem in that blank square). Plus, all the files on my laptop that had a blank box in front of the file have now been changed to the Photoshop box.
    If I put those file on a stick and load them on another computer they appear blank again. However, I need these files on the original laptop where the quilting program resides. I cannot figure out how to change these files back to blank. By the way, I cannot use the open with tool as the quilting program that I use is not available for that use. Can anyone please help?

    :)

    How to change default app for file type

    'Open With > Choose another app' has three step, in the first it only offers apps registered for that file type. If you click 'More apps' it lists all registered apps regardless of suitability. Both these steps have the tick-box for 'Always use...' in my 18363.752. The third step, if needed, is 'Look for another app on this PC'. The 'Always use...' must be ticked before taking this step if you want the change to stick. However, WMP appears at the second step.

    For a quick look at a JPG almost anything (including WMP) is more practical than Photos which on my system takes more than ten seconds just to open a photo. The OP is probably not aware that the Windows Photo Viewer is still available in W10, but hidden away. That's my default viewer for JPG.


    Restore Windows Photo Viewer in Windows 10

    And, once enabled, is available in Settings > Apps > Default apps.

    How to change default app for file type

    @Bree - yes, I'm quite aware of this thanks, but as you will see it's missing. I recall reading that clicking the dialogue at a certain point in blank space made it appear, and trying that once successfully, but doesn't seem to help now. Plenty of other similar reports of this option being missing.
