    How does one change the default program applications use?

    Is the only way to right click on the program and select Open With and select the program?

    Right click the icon or the folder / properties ....change the opens with ...

    Let me edit that ...programs open with themselves ...files (documents, etc) can be changed.

    Would you want photoshop to open with word?

    Or to clarify, right click on the file, select "choose default program", then select the program ye wish to open the file, then make sure that "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file.".. Press ok. The file should open.

    Forever more, this extension should open in that program you chose. Otherwise ye can change it.
