Open With - Options in Windows XP

I recently installed PSE10 on my computer which is running on Windows XP (Service Pack 3).  It had PSE 7 running on it with no problems for several years.  My problem is that I am unable to open a jpeg file by "right" clicking on the file and getting an "Open With" drop down choice of PSE 10 (Neither for "Recommended" or "Choose Program").  I went to "Control Panel" and when I checked on "Add or Remove Programs" Adobe PSE 10 is not even listed.  When I check on the desktop shortcut for PSE 10 it comes up and runs just fine.  I have opened up "File Options" and attempted to associate PSE 10 program file ("PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe") but nothing seems to change.  Any suggestions other than "Live with it"?

Can you launch the Editor and then use
File >> Open
Then navigate to your folder to select the jpeg(s)

  • The "always open with-"  option doesn't work!

    Is there a way to get the "Always open with" option when doing a (control) (option) click on a file to actually ALWAYS open with the application I choose? Could this feature be broken or perhaps mislabeled?
    Here's what happens; I'll set a file to "always open with" one application. I work on that file and save it. The next time I try to open that file it opens with the snow leopard default application instead of using the application I directed it to "Always open with".
    I don't want to open every file type with this application so I'm not setting "apply to all" in the info window/ inspector, I simply want this one file to always open with the application I've selected.
    I'm hoping some of you super mac users will know a trick to make this work.

    I want to open a few select files with a non-default application (now that the creation code is not used.)...If I work on the file and make/save any changes, it reverts to the default app.
    Aha! Okay, I don't think any of us were getting that in the initial posts. You are correct. Snow Leopard no longer uses Type and Creator codes by default, but they are still there. Various things are keeping you from doing what you want.
    1) Newer programs that do not use Type and Creator codes at all still need a way to tell the OS what files belong to them. Since at least back as far as Leopard (likely earlier), the system now uses Uniform Type Identifiers. As far as keeping track of what files belong to what applications, they serve the same purpose as Type and Creator codes. So when you save changes, it will indeed revert back to the default app since the file once again gets saved with that program's UTI data.
    2) Some programs use both UTI and Type and Creator codes. Usually older apps that have come from PPC code. I would guess that would be either because the developer doesn't want to waste time removing the code that adds the Type and Creator codes to the files, or more likely, to make sure files passed to other users still on older Macs that don't use UTI won't have trouble opening them.
    3) I use some much older apps which have still not been rewritten at all for Intel Macs and are still all PPC code. They still write Type and Creator codes.

  • I have no "open with" option for downloads

    I click on a file within a website to open it, but the pop up box does not have the "open with.." option, only the save option. The file type is a text document with the extension ".prg" which is associated in my Windows Folder Options to open with Wordpad. Within Firefox Tools/Options/Applications, this file type does not show up, so I cannot change it. I read elsewhere where this is blamed on MIME type in the HTML header, but Microsoft Internet Explorer gets it right every time, only Firefox does not recognize the file type.
    As an aside, the same site has files with the extension".chg" that I open with Notepad. Firefox gives the "open with" option for these files, with Notepad as the defauld, but the "Always open with" is greyed out. Not that I care, as the default is what I want, but....

    Firefox goes by the mimetype and not the file type as IE does.

  • Lost start menu icons and not listed in right click open with option +more.

    Weird. I need help. Quicktime 7.3.0.70 only--Start menu lost it's icons in the quicktime folder. When right clicking video files, the "open with" option no longer displays quicktime as a program. And lastly, open an avi file or even mpg and the program stops responding without even getting to play the file. I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times but can't seem to fix these issues. Can anyone help? Thanks. This just seemed to happen out of the blue.

    I also have lost the icons for Quicktime in my start menu under Windows XP. The icons actually work when you do click them but the icons are not loaded. Everything functions fine and it's the newest version of Quicktime installed. I also have the newest version of iTunes installed. I ended up manually adding my own icons on the start menu as I've uninstalled and reinstalled Quicktime several times to no avail and even attempted to flush the windows icon cache. No go. This just started happening recently.
    It's not happening on my WinXP Pro laptop however, although I've yet to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes+Quicktime.
    *Right-Click Open With Menu still functions properly and the icon image is appearing correctly in that menu.

  • How do i get the "open with" option back for pdfs after accidentally hitting the save option which now automatically saves any pdf?

    Normally when I click on a pdf I would get an option to "Open With" or Save. I usually just opened pdfs first. I accidentally clicked on the Save option in this dialog box and now when I click on any pdf it automatically asks me where I want to save it. I want to get the "open With" option back, because I don't necessarily want to save a copy of every pdf.

    Mountain Lion was released in 2012, so I suppose there might be advice in old threads or on the Apple forums if you don't get a response here right away.

  • Adobe and no open with option

    I downloaded the new adobe reader so I could sign documents and then email them.  This was working until upgrade, now my "open with" option in mail is gone.  It gives me two options mail or print.  Any suggestions?

    It looks to be pretty helpful but I can't figure out how to edit the html file after I published it. Any suggestions?

    Welcome ny854
    You might want to try using an html editor like Taco HTML Edit to open html files, I find it makes them much easier to read.
    Your file is viewing as a web page because Safari is probably set as the default app to open html files.
    What you need to do is press the "ctrl" key when you click on the file in your iDisk, this will give you a menu, choose Open With, then choose the app that you want to open the file with from the list that you see. If you use text edit (launch the app, go to Text Edit > Preferences > Click Open and Save > Check “Ignore rich text commands in html files”).

  • [SOLVED] firefox "open with" option missing from d

    Has anyone noticed that, in firefox 2, the "Save/OpenWith/Cancel dialog has changed to only "Save/Cancel" (with no option to open the file with a particular application)?
    For instance, clicking on the first "Excel" file type on this Web page only gives me a Save or Cancel option.  With firefox 1.5 there was an additional option for "Open With".  In other words, there is no way I can instantly open the document with Open Office using a temporary location.  I have  to first save it to my home directory and then open it with Open Office or something.
    When using firefox 2 with Web-based email clients like Yahoo! Mail, it's annoying that I can't just instantly open attachments (like PDFs).  Instead, I have to first save everything.
    Is there something I can change in about:config to get back the 1.5 behavior?

    No, I already checked my firefox preferences.  The preferences explain the behavior of Excel files (set to always save).   But, for me, the "Open with" option went missing for PDF attachments and some other unknown binary file types.
    I have PDFs set to open with acroread in FF preferences, so that seems okay.  Nothing in the filetypes configuration has changed.  In fact, the PDFs work okay (with acroread plugin) when I click a PDF link on a random web page.  It just doesn't work in email attachments  like in gmail (and, it used to before).  It used to be that it would give me the "Open With" dialog and I'd open the document with acroread (external application, not the plugin).  Now, it forces me to save or cancel.  I noticed it happens with some other unknown binary file types, too (I thought these were also supposed give me the "Open with" option).

  • Chromium - no open with option

    Hi!
    I've started to use XFCE4 and I noticed that Chromium (latest stable version) does not have open with option (neither on GNOME), it can only download a file. I searched a lot, I found that Chromium can do this with xdg-open. It's in its place, so I search a lot again, modified xdg-open as written in here, replaced with thunar, replaced it under xfce), tried the suggestions here and here, installed perl-file-mimeinfo, installed mimeo and xdg-open-mimeo, but nothing helped. Chromium can only download.

  • Mozilla should always give open with option while downloading any file

    in Mozilla, when i click on the file to download the dialog box comes with the options of either opening it or saving it. say i get open with option when i click it, if i toggle to save it and go ahead with that process. Mozilla is remembering the last event, and showing me save it option selected when i click on download that file. i would want to set the mozilla config to have open with option selected for any kind of download in my browser. how to do this?

    yes this is a way to keep giving me "open with" option for that type of the file. but still if user clicks save option. next time it will show save option clicked while downloading. am not sure if i have put the query correctly. is the problem statement clear?
    the reason i want this is because my script which is automated script for an application, when download is clicked i want the open option to be enabled so that i just do a key down option. if it is going to be different everytime. i cant use this script.

  • Open With option

    I used to like the Open With option for PSE7 when viewing in My Pictures in Vista but this is no longer an option with PSE10 - can it be restored please?

      It’s working OK. You may need to click on Choose Default Program and then navigate to the Editor exe file.

  • Possible to add "Open With " option to Spotlight?

    When I do a search in Spotlight, it brings up a list of files. I do show all, then right click on an item. It shows "open"... "get info"... "reveal in finder"... etc. Is there a way to add an "open with" option, lets say with a plugin or shareware of some sort? Word documents always default to the Microsoft Office Test Drive program, which I do not intend to buy. I want these to default to an older version of Office I have, but it can't be done in Spotlight, and even in "get info", I cannot make a permanent change to have Word documents open with a prior version of Office.

    Matt, is there any reason to keep the Test Drive installed on your machine? If you remove that then I'd think the documents would open with the older version once again.
    As far as your actual question goes, I don't know of any way to add an 'open with' function, but on the other hand I don't know my way around Spotlight all that well -

  • I can't select Photoshop CC 2014 when using the "Open with" menu in Windows 7

    I have recently installed CC 2014, and uninstalled my CC version. When I go to a jpeg, or any image file in windows explorer, I right-click and "open with" and it isn't listed on my program list to open the file with. I click on "browse programs", find the exe file in adobe-photoshop cc2014 folder and click OK, and it just goes back to the open with menu with no option for photoshop.
    Any ideas on how I can get it on that list, so I can open these files from the file location, instead of opening up photoshop and then searching for the file location within photoshop?
    Also, I don't have any problems opening up the pictures from within photoshop, just within windows explorer.

    I'm having a similar problem, but only with jpg's. I have PS CS6, CC, and CC 2014. Other image file formats function normally with regard to the "open with" list. PS CC 2014 appears on the list. But with jpg's only PS CC appears on the "open with" list and 2014 can't be added by the browsing for it.
    The curious thing is that if I have any of the three versions of Photoshop open, click on Photoshop CC in the "open with" list, the image opens in whatever version is already open on my computer. This is true of all image formats. No matter which version I pick from the "open with" list it opens in the currently running program. I use only the latest version so keeping it open all the time is an easy work around. I won't uninstall any of the earlier versions lest more file association quirks result. it would be nice to have this matter fixed.
