Setting Default Application for Opening a File in Windows

 Setting Default Application for Opening a File in Windows


In Windows to change the Setting of Default Application for Opening a File is very easy. First of all we should know what is Default Application. 

Default Application is the application which opens your file when you double click / press enter on it. There can be other applications also to open up your file. Here I will explain you how to change the settings so that the file opens with that particular application only whenever you open that file type. 

How to see what is our default application for a file type?

For this we have to see properties of the file. Press Alt + Enter key after selecting file to see the Properties of a file. It appears as given below.



Under Type of File you can see its type is .jpg

Opens with reflects the name of the application by which it will open. As in the above case it is written ACDSee Photo Manager. 

How to Change the Default Application?

By pressing on Change written after the Application name in front of Open With in Properties, you will get a list of Application which you can select and change to default. 


In this case if we change default application from ACDSee Photo Manager to Adobe Photoshop than whenever we will click on a file with type .jpg it will open with Adobe Photoshop instead of ACDSee Photo Manager.

For saving changes you have to press Apply and Ok.

In case you want to temporarily open a file with any other Application instead of default application already selected than you have to select file and right click with mouse. It will appear as given below


Here you can see Open with option in which the names of Application are appearing. Simply click on the application you want to open file with. This will not change your default setting. Instead it will only open your file ones with that Application. 
Here in the last you can see Choose another app option. This allows you to search any other Application that is installed in your Computer.  The option for searching will appear when you scroll down as Look for another app on this PC
Here also you get the option for changing Default Application. For this you  have to simply choose the application which you want to make default and select the option "Always use this app to open .jpg files", and press Ok. 
Once you do this, from the next time whenever you will open a .jpg file it will open with the selected Application.
