Windows 10: Is there a way to only associate specific files with a certain program without making all...

I want to make it so that only some ISOs open with Dolphin so I can launch them through steam, but it makes so that EVERY ISO is opened through Dolphin

File Association to Programs


Hello,
Some programs on the pc were not installed with the installer - they are portable zip files, I unziped them into a folder, made a shortcut to the desktop and they work fine for me. They are not listed in the 'installed programs' list.
I am trying to associate certain files to such programs, I open the "default programs" panel to set the association, but when I want to change the current program, it opens the 'look into the store', no option to browse into the windows explorer,
to set the default program.
Hope I made myself clear.
Thanks for answers

 

How to stop Internet Explorer from associating a file type with a specific program

How to stop Internet Explorer from associating a file type with a specific program? IE keeps associating itself with Adobe PDF documents even when I have done this a hundred times:

• Open Default Programs by clicking the Start button
  
  
  
  and then clicking Default Programs.
• Click Associate a file type or protocol with a program.
• Click the file type or protocol that you want the program to act as the default for.
  
• Click Change program.
  
• Click the program that you want to use as the default for the file type you selected,

I have full blown Adobe program and if I can't find a way to stop this I will just uninstall IE and Edge. Chrome doesn't do this. Really frustrated with this.

Can a file extension(.flv) be added to Default Program Associations.

Hi Fred,



Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.



I understand that you are facing issues associating a particular file extension with a program on Windows 10. I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you.

To assist you better, please provide the information:

When you say that "Default Program Associations", are you referring to the list of default applications in default programs settings?



I want you to be informed that all the file extensions is listed in the default program settings which is displayed under
Associate a file type or protocol with a program.



In default program list, all the programs or application will be listed. Then we can select each program as default program for opening a particular file.

I suggest you to refer to the below steps to make default program for a particular file extension.

1. Type "Control Panel" without the quotes in search box and click on it.

2. Click on Programs.

3. Then click on Default Programs and click on Choose Default for this Programs.

4. Select .flv file from the list.

Also you can try other steps to associate the a particular extenstion with the program.

1. Type "Control Panel" without the quotes in search box and click on it.

2. Click on Programs.

3. Then click on Associate a file type or protocol with a program
and search for .flv extension from the list.

4. Click on .flv and then click on Change Program.
