  2. 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.

    After upgrading to Windows 10, Adobe change to PDF reader

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    To make sure I understand correctly, you would like to set Adobe as the default PDF reader, is that correct?

    If so, I would suggest you to try the steps below and check if it helps.

    1. Press Windows key + R to open the run command.

    2. Type control and press enter to open the control panel.

    3. Type default program in the control panel search box and open it.

    4. Click "associate file type or protocol with a program".

    5. From the lists of extensions, look for .pdf, click on it and click, "change program".

    6. Choose Adobe and save the changes.

    Let us know the result.
