  1. How to undo "always open files with" files in Windows 10 File explorer.


    In Windows 10 Windows or File Explored I selected a file with an extension that I didn't have a program to open it with. So I selected Media player to open it BUT I DIDN'T NOTICE THAT "Always open with" was selected. So now I have all files associated with this program and cannot use another program to open it.

    I need to undo all of the file types of the files that were changed back to the original file type. That original file type was CRDOWNLOAD File. At this time I still know which files TYPE was changed. Problem is that there are many other mp4 files on the drive so I need to be able to change the "file type" on each of the just changed "file type" back to CRDOWNLOAD File.

    ANY IDEAS?

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
