How can I change the default program for the external applications editor?

I have read the on line directions for this and it reads "select a file type in the left pane."   I do not see where this is in the left pane.  All I see in the left pane is "Browser start pages" and a "How do I " Pane.  Nothing with file types.

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
In order to change the default program for the external applications editor. Please follow the steps as mentioned below.
Click on Edit menu then choose preferences.
Once the preferences dialog box open.
click on file editors.
On the Left pane you will find all the file types which you want to edit .
On the right hand side you will find the editors for that specific file type.
If you want to add any other application you need to click on + symbol at the top of right pane.
Select the path of that application which you want to apply.
clcik on open.
If you want to make it primay you can click make primary option available at the right hand top. For more detials please check the screenshot below.

  • How do I change a default program for attachments?

    Hi,
    I just upgraded to Adobe Acrobat 7.0 from 6.0 However when I open email attachments or other PDFs, they all automatically still open in 6.0.
    How can I change the default to open all PDFs with the new 7.0? Is that an OSX Finder thing or an Adobe thing?
    thx

    Is there a particular reason you still have both versions of Acrobat on your machine? If not, just delete the old one.
    If there is a reason, I think what you need to do is go to the Finder, select a PDF file and choose File->Get Info. In the Open With section, choose the proper version of Acrobat and click the Change All button. I believe that should change how attachments in Mail open as well as how the Finder opens the files.

  • I am unable to have Elements 12 recognized by Windows 7 as the default program for the jpg famuily of files. What to do?

    Windows 7 does not recognize Elements 12 as a candidate default program for jpg files. Any suggestions?
    The Elements 12 is authorized and works properly but does not show up in the Control Panel Default programs. (it is listed as a loaded program elsewhere in the Control Panel.)
    I have tried Uninstalling it and re-installing it several times with no success. I have used nearly all previous versions of Elements with no problem.

    Hi Robbie,
    The editor program is NOT under the organizer path as you mentioned in your last message. The actual editor program is at the location I gave in message #1 i.e. as follows
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    The one under the organizer is actually the Welcome screen which you have probably set up to go directly to the editor.
    If you go to the Open With screen I showed in message #3 and browse to the actual editor as given above, it should show up in your list.
    If it doesn't, then Windows is playing up again - and we have to take extra steps.

  • How can one set a default location for the pictures on the hard drive?

    Since Windows normally places the pictures on a typical drive as "My Pictures" about four or five levels down from the root, any effort to import picture files into Lightroom requires multiple clicks to drill down to the "My Pictures" then (for example) year, month, date, etc.
    Can I define a location as the default starting point to find the pictures?  I don't see how to put that into presets. Or can a key shortcut be created to go straight to c:/users/name/mypictures/2013/April15 etc?
    Steve Board

    dj is right. Any Folder can be a picture folder.
    Create a root level folder and add it to your Pictures Library in Windows.  It will show up with all the scattered pictures from other programs. It can even be a different dirve if you like.  You  can even specify one to be the default save location for pictures in this dialog.
    Navigate to Pictures in your Libraries in Windows Explorer Right Click and select Properties.

  • How can I set a default zoom for the browser (freeze it)?

    Hello, there's an option of using the Ctrl + + to zoom the Web page, but it reverts to the Firefox default zoom in the midst which is very annoying. Generally, I'd like to be able to set a certain default zoom level and then only if needed use the CTRL +/- zoom in and out options. So my optimal zoom level is used for all my browsing unless I change it.

    I have listed 2 add-ons below for you to consider. I have not used NoSquint, but I use and rely on Default FullZoom Level.
    *You can set a default zoom level in DFZL Options
    *You can use the mouse scroll wheel on the Add-on Bar DFZL icon to increase or decrease the zoom or click the icon and choose from the available zoom percentages.
    *In NoSquint, it says it saves the zoom level by web site/page.
    *'''''Default FullZoom Level''''': https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
    *'''''NoSquint''''': https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/
    **More info on NoSquint: http://urandom.ca/nosquint/
    You can also set a "Minimum Font Size" in Firefox Options > Content > Fonts & Colors Advanced".

  • How do you globally change the default program for opening photo files?

    I want to adjust my system so that when I double click a photo file, Preview does not automatically launch.  I work in Photoshop all the time and would prefer that it be the default program for pictures.  I have already changed the "when you insert a picture CD" command in CD's & DVD's in System preferences but this does not have any effect on when I double click on a picture file to open it; Preview always launches and opens the picture there.  That automatic opening behavior is fine but I need it to happen in Photoshop.

    Assuming your pictures are all .jpg files: select any .jpg by clicking once on it in the Finder, then press Command+I to Get Info about it. In the Open With: section of the Get Info window, change the preferred application from Preview to Photoshop, then click the Change All button.
    Now any .jpg file that you double-click will open in Photoshop.

  • How do I make Pages the default program for .doc files?

    How do I make Pages the default program for .doc files without having the need to change the default program for each individual.doc file?

    Navigate to a .doc file.
    Ctrl click the file
    Choose Open with and then go down the list, past pages, to other
    Navigate to pages
    Before you click Open make sure you click the 'Always open with' check box.
    You should be okay.
    You can do a similar think by selecting the file, Choosing File-Get Info
    Then open the Open With Disclosure triangle.
    select pages and then click CHANGE ALL
    Hope this hleps.

  • HT204150 How do I change my default email on the "Me" contact from a Facebook email to my normal email address in the same contact?  Or at least change it for the autofill information?

    How do I change my default email on the "Me" contact from a Facebook email to my normal email address in the same contact?  Or at least change it for the autofill information?
    Perfernece for contact to change.  Do I just have to dis-associate my contact fromt the facebook account?  Is only the autofill changable?

    If you allow Facebook to access your contacts and you have the @facebook.com email alias turned on, it will add the @facebook.com email to your contact info, and because it has the fixed label of "email" it overrides every other email address.
    They didn't fix this in iOS 8.
    There are two ways to remove the @facebook.com email from your contact info:
    If you don't need your Facebook friends and their info updating your contacts, go into iOS Settings -> Facebook and turn off access to Contacts.
    If you don't use your @facebook.com email address (all it does it forward to the primary email address) you can go into the Facebook app, More -> Settings -> General -> Email -> and uncheck "Use your Facebook email". Removing it from Account Emails does not work, you have to turn it off. Once you do this, go to iOS Settings -> Facebook and turn Contacts off and on again to make it update your info. The @facebook.com address should be removed.

  • How do I change the default locations for the iTunes music and iPhone back-up folders?

    My computer's hard drive is partitioned, with one partition having all of the Windows system files, and the other having all of my documents, music, videos, etc.  When I installed iTunes, it automatically created its music and iPhone folders on the Windows partition.  I've been able to change the default save folders for other programs to the second partition, but I'm having troubles finding this option in iTunes (I even went back and re-installed it to see if I could find it that way, but no dice).  Is there a way to change the default folders for the iTunes library and iPhone files?  It takes up A LOT of space on my Windows partition, so it would be very great to get that moved over.
    Thanks!

    You can't selectively move individual folders withing the iTunes  folder, but you can move the entire folder to, say, an external dive. To delink the iTunes application to the new library location:
    Open iTunes while holding down the Option key (Mac) or Shift key (Windows).
    In the resulting dialog, click the Choose Library button.
    Select the iTunes folder you moved to the external hard drive.
    Click Choose (Mac OS X) or Open (Windows) and then choose the iTunes Library file inside .

  • "I would like to know how to set the default view for the columns. Somewhere I read it could be done in by music icon under Library.  Can't find it.  Thanks

    "I would like to know how to set the default view for the columns that are shown in iTunes. Every time I open it, I have to either go to the options, or right-click to get the pop-up options, and delete "rating" and add "composer." I'd really like to just do it once and be done with it."  Somewhere I read you could do this by clicking on the Music icon under LIBRARY then arramge the columns.  Trouble is, I can't find a Musi Folder or icon in my user library.
    Any help would be appreiated.  OSX 10.9.2  iTunes version 11.1.5  Thanks!!! CW!

    From the iTunes menu bar try View>Show View Options.  Make sure what you want to see is checked and what you don't is unchecked.  You can do this (may need to do this) for any playlists, your main Library, etc.
    Good luck

  • How do I change the default language for the spell checker? - solved, sort of...

    As the previous thread was closed without actual resolution - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/941350?esab=a&s=&r=0&as=s
    I managed to solve this on my end by just reinstalling firefox using the localisation of the default dictionary language i wanted from here - http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    A bit of a shame that the main download page doesnt select the geographically relevant localisation for you and even more so that changing the default language for the in built spell checker is so kak. oh well.

  • ICal in OS X Lion default on new entries is 'all day'.  How can I change that default?

    The OS X Lion default on new iCal entries is 'all day'.  How can I change that default?  It seems odd that the default would be 'all day' when most entries are for meetings lasting less than that. 

    Unfortunetely the only way is to uncheck the box each time you set up an entry. I trust enough feedback from users will convince Apple to change that in the future.

    Yours will help that effort.
