I can't make ADE the default program to open EPUB and MOBI files

Hello, I can't seem to be able to make ADE the default program to open EPUB and MOBI files. I use Windows 7. I used to use a Firefox plug-in to view these files, and before that I used Calibre. I have been told that these are both inadequate. When I go into the Control Panel to change the default program to open these files, however, ADE is not listed as one of the possibilities (only Firefox and Calibre are), and when I search it just brings up Adobe Acrobat. Any advice? Thanks, Bill.

I think I have answered my own question. This time I clicked on Browse for the program to set as the default, and I selected the Downloads program, and there it was. For some reason I had to re-install it several times, and it kept re-installing and re-installing. But all seems to be OK now.

    Usually the default program associated with an image file extension is an image developing Program like Lightroom or an image editing program like Photoshop. If you want to change the default associated program to Adobe Bridge you would use Window's Controls Panel file association applet.

    When I try to set Illustrator CC (2014) as the default program to open certain files, such as Illustrator templates (.ait) or .eps files, my PC will not allow me to choose Illustrator. I've tried asking it to use the shortcut & also by going into my folders as follows:

    Anyone know how to fix this?

  • Cannot make CS6 the default program to open nef files on a windows 7 computer.

    On my Windows 7 computer, I right click a nef file and select Open With. CS6 is not listed. I browse to the CS6 icon and select it and OPEN. Nothing happens. It does not get added to the list. CS5 worked as it should. I have submitted this on a Windows forum and am getting nowhere. All updates for Adobe and Windows are installed. I can open a nef file from within PS. It is only when trying to open a file from a folder that I have a problem.
    This problem is solved. The solution was to uninstall and re-install CS6. (deactivate before uninstalling)

    I would recommend contacting Adobe Tech Support for this as playing with registry is quite dangerous , your computer may crash.
    Still if you want to try , first create the System Restore point and Backup your Registry , just incase something goes wrong.
    In regedit: Navigate to Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications and find your .exe name.
    Navigate under its name to shell>open>command. In the Default change its location to the actual location of the executable, hit okay and then try and reassociate the file type as you normally would.

  • How do I make Pages the default program?

    Hi,
    This may be quite basic, but I can't seem figure it out.
    I've just migrated from a PC to a Mac and I have a lot of .doc's. I want to make Pages the default program to open all of my MS Word documents; however, when I select >open with>other>iWork08>Pages, and check the "Always open with" option, it only opens that particular document with Pages, not every .doc file on my computer.
    Windows has an "always use for this type of file" option, but I can't find any such thing on my Mac. I have WriteRoom installed and this is somehow the (default) for .doc's, though, I didn't make it that way... just happens to show up first on the list for some reason.
    Thanks!

    Point to a .doc file in a window using the Finder. Command-i (or right click, then choose "get info") on any .doc file. Under "Open with" specify Pages then click "change all". This will make all .doc files open with Pages by default.
    If you don't like this setting, you can change it back. And bear in mind that opening a .doc file with Pages does not allow you to simply save the file using Pages. You have to save a second file in Pages format (and perhaps may wish to then delete the first .doc file). The fact that Pages doesn't save Word documents "natively" like this can be a pain, but there's no way around it because that's how Pages is designed.

  • Making Pages the default program for opening text documents

    How do I make Pages the default program for opening text documents? Every time I open a text doc it launches in TextEdit. This must be an easy fix, but I can't seem to figure it out.

    Select a text document > Menu > File > Info > Open With > Browse into your appliCations folder > iWork > Pages > OK > Change All…+

  • Office 2013 click-to-run does not honor deselecting 'Make Outlook the default program' checkbox

    We use an email client other than Microsoft Outlook (let's say Thunderbird)
    Thunderbird is set as the default mail client for the machine (HKLM\Software\Clients\Mail\(default) set appropriately)
    Occasionally, we launch Outlook (but absolutely do not want it as the default mail client for the machine).  About 30 seconds after launching Outlook, we see that the Windows default mail client changes to Microsoft Outlook.The 'Make Outlook the default
    program for E-mail, Contacts, and Calendar' checkbox in File->Options is disabled.
    Further investigation with ProcMon indicates that a SYSTEM service called integrator.exe starts up about 30 seconds after we launch Outlook.  This service changes the HKLM\Software\Clients\Mail\(default) registry key to be Microsoft Outlook.
    We have tested with multiple non-Outlook email clients, and the behavior is always the same.
    This only happens on click-to-run installs of Office 2013.  Regular installs of Office 2013 do not have the problem.  Older versions of Outlook do not have the problem.
    What can we do to get Outlook to honor the 'Make Outlook the default program' setting?

    Kapaal -
    Thanks for your reply.  Your blog post would certainly work if this was just a user-mode app that was making the change, but that's not the case with Office 2013.
    The integrator.exe process that is making the change is part of Microsoft's Click-to-Run system.  It runs as a service with local system access, and thus would have full access to the key.  I might be able to lock it down by creating a second system
    admin account and playing games with it - but that will make it very difficult to actually change the value when I want it do be changed, and I really shouldn't have to be doing workarounds to prevent Office itself from doing this.

  • How can I/Can I make Firefox the default .PDF viewer in Windows 7?

    For the basic PDF viewing I do, Adobe Reader is just slow and annoying. I love using Firefox, but unfortunately I cannot set it as the default program to open PDF files. Even when I select Firefox after right clicking and select open with, Windows does not comply. Is there a config option I can change that will allow me to set Firefox as the default PDF reader.
    Thank you for your help.

    You can not make Firefox the default for viewing PDF files for the entire Windows Operating System, only the default viewer from within Firefox. Like when PDF files that are downloaded from websites and displayed in Firefox; you can try using '''File > Open File''' from within Firefox to view PDF file that are already saved on that PC, but I'm not sure that will work - I haven't tried doing that.

  • 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.

  • How to make PSE12 the default program

    I just installed PSE12 and want it to be the default program to open my jpg files. I know how to set defaults on a PC but the program does not even come up on the list of defaults. I've tried right-click on image and "open with" but no PSE12. If I use Browse and follow the path Program Files (x86)/Adobe/PSE12/PSE Editor.exe, there is no exe file, only the application. If I select PSE Editor, it does not make it the default.

    You can associate the file type to PSE.  For example on my system I have associated Corel program for JPG files (because of 64 bit requirement for me) but you can associate PSE by clicking on Change Program Icon button as shown in this picture (click on it to magnify it):

  • I just upgraded from Express to Pro.  When I open a project in Finder and neither Express nor Pro are running, it always opens in Express.  "Open With ..." says Express is the default.  How can I make Pro the default instead?

    I just upgraded from Logic Express to Pro.  When I open a project in Finder and neither Express nor Pro are running, it always opens in Express. I now want projects to open in Pro.  "Open With ..." says Express is the default.  How can I make Pro the default instead?

    Well, when I've done things like that it always sems like a good idea to keep an application that you know the file will definitely open in...

    Right-click on that saved image's thumbnail in Windows to bring up a menu.
    Select "Open with..." and from that "Choose default program"
    A box will open up with a list of Programs to  choose from. Photoshop CS6 64 bit should be in that list.
    Make sure "Always use the selected program to open this type of file" is checked.
    If you do not see it in the list, click the Browse button in this box and it will show folders in the Program Files directory. Double click "Adobe" then Photoshop CS6 (64-bit), then select Photoshop.exe and click "Open". It should add it to the list.
    Click OK and when you double-click on your saved file, it should open in Photoshop.
    Let me know if that worked for you or if you have other questions.

  • How do I change the default program to open Pages docs to the old (4.3) version instead of the new one (5.0)?

    How do I change the default program to open Pages docs to the old (4.3) version instead of the new one (5.0)? When I do what Apple said and go to a Pages file in finder and select "get info" then select "Pages 4.3" and "change all" it just defaults to the new one even though I'd selected the old one. Do I need to completely uninstall the new version of Pages or is there another work around because the new version of Pages comes dreadfully short of the features I need that are included in the old one?

    Eric Kraft wrote:
    HOWEVER, if you modified a document in 5.0, 4.3 can't open it. You'll have to use Time Machine to replace the modified version with an earlier version that was last modified in 4.3.
    Actually there is a workaround.
    If you open the file in Pages 5, it can then be exported on Pages 0.9 format to another folder. I had to do this as the document was only in iCloud and couldn't be recoverd by Time Machine.
    Worked for me!

  • How do I set Adobe Flash Player as the default program to open SWF files?

    Basic Overview
    I have this working fine at my home laptop, however I need this working for projects at school.
    Whenever I want to open an SWF file at home, I simply double click it and open it in Adobe Flash Player (Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22) and I have no problems!
    However, when I am at school I have to run SWF files within Internet Explorer, Adobe Flash Player IS installed, but the SWF files are not opened in that directly, they are opened within Internet Explorer.
    At Home
    If I right click an SWF file at home and select "Open With" and then "Choose Default Program...", Adobe Flash Player is already there under the name 'Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22', so I can simply select it as the default. (On my home laptop)
    At School
    At school if go to "Open With" and then "Choose Default Program...", Adobe Flash Player IS NOT there, only Internet Explorer and some other programs in the other programs box. (On my school laptop)
    Question
    How can I assign Adobe Flash Player as the default program for opening SWF files (on my school laptop)? If I select "Browse..." and go to C:\WINDOWS\System32\Macromed\Flash there is no file with a description of 'Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22', is the file for the actual program located somewhere else or have I just no looked properly in the folder?
    I really need these files opening in Adobe Flash Player directly and not in Internet Explorer (I know you can set the view to 100% and have it sized correctly)
    Thanks you to everyone who helps!
    -Charlie! (Yes I know I don't need to write this in a forum)

    The standard Flash Player is a browser add-on, and not a standalone player.  So what actually opens when you open an SWF file at home?  Flash Player Projector?
    If so, you also need to download it at your school, from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html, then do the file association.

  • How do I change the default program that opens .acsm files?

    I am borrowing library eBooks to read on my Sony Reader.  I want to ensure that Adobe Digital Editions is the default program to open .acsm files, but am not sure how to do that.  Thanks for the help!

    Right (control) click on the .acsm file > select Open With > then select Adobe Digital Editions.
    Likewise you can select all of files in a folder with Edit > Select All > then Get Info and set them all to Open with: Adobe Digital Editions or whatever.
