Folders opening in bridge by default instead of explorer

hi,
Recently i installed adobe photoshop cs5 extended. After installing now when i  try to open any folder by double clicking on it, it opens in adobe  bridge..  I have to right click on the folder and then OPEN, then only it opens in explorer. It's very annoying when you want to open your folders and bridge comes out opening it. This problem was not there when i was using photoshop cs4.
I tried the Default file associations in control panel but couldnt find the folder extension. I have re-registered the shell library but no effect.
I also tried Folder option in control panel and reset it to default but no effect.
I also tried registry cleaner and fixer but same result.
How could this be changed so that when i open any folder by  double clicking on it, it will open as usual in windows explorer.
OS: win7-ultimate.

Don't know, but perhaps it is setting in Win. Exp or (gasp) the registry.
Here is link oabout Win Exp setup.  http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=13&ved=0CBsQFjACOAo&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.7tut orials.com%2Fhow-improve-windows-explorer-using-folder-options&ei=7AZ9TL7CGoaksQOykOGCBw&u sg=AFQjCNHKAMsVhTmE7P9YZEatQLfOgPwnjw
Also, right click on WE, clck properties, look at shortcut tab and see what it says.  Mine says %windir%\explorer.exe and Start In is blank  (Win7).
Hope this helps.

  • How can I modify File Explorer to open This PC by default, instead of the new Home view?

    The methods that worked in Windows 8.1 no longer work. I tried this method but all that did was mess-up the Home view...

    Hi,
    First, I have to say, I cannot get direct way to point the File explorer to This PC as in Windows 10. As an alternative method, we can delete some things in 'Home' and attach 'This Pc' into it via Registry key. Make it look like that we open This

  • Since install PE12 I cannot open raw files by default

    When I double click on a raw file to open, it opens in PE11 by default instead of newly installed PE12.  If I right click on any image file to select OPEN WITH PE11 shows by default.  I have added PE12 however, when I select it to OPEN WITH, PE12 launches by the file never opens.
    Operating System:  Win7 64bit

    Yes, Control Panel | Programs and Features | Uninstall or Change Program is exaclty what I was referring to and where I am looking.  As mentioned, neither PSE11 or PSE12 are listed.
    However, I was able to uninstall PSE11 using the Microsoft FIX IT tool.  The FIX IT tool removed the application or at least the parts that launch the app.  I had to manually go in an remove the PSE11 folder which required much playing with the folder permissions.
    Once PSE11 was removed I tried to associate the raw files on the computer to open with PSE12..  No luck!
    So, I ran the PSE12 setup which complained that PSE12 was already on the computer and needed to be removed.  So I selected the removal option.  However, once again the removal did NOT remove the PSE12 folder and all the files.
    I then ran the PSE12 installation again, this time installing the application and now all works as expected.  The RAW files are now associated with the PSE12 and open as expected.

  • Bridge CC opens older version of PS instead of PS CC

    Under Windows 7: Bridge CC "Open" and "Open with->Photoshop (default)" in the thumbnail context menu open PS5 which has been since uninstalled leaving PS6 and PS CC.
    "Open in camera raw" opens Camera Raw 8.1 associated with CC programs.
    "Place->In Photoshop" opens PS CC
    Ai files open in AI CC
    All CC programs show as up to date in the CC program manager
    I have opened Bridge with Ctl-click, reset preferences and cleared the bridge cache. As expected this did not clear the problem.
    Opening a psd file from Windows Fle Explorer opens PS6, not PS CC
    I can correct the Windows File Explorer association with Control Panel-> Default Programs -> Set associations but I shouldn't have to. The CC installs should have done that.
    How do I correct the file associations that are internal to Bridge? I'm reluctant to Uninstall->Download->reinstall without being relatively sure that will clear the problem.
    Thanks.

    Update on this issue:
    Concerning Ps CS6 seizing Dominance:
    I did try UNinstalling and then re-installing Ps CC 14.00 but Ps CS6 still retained "Dominance" (meaning that it was impossible to change System Permissions to recognise that all PSDs should always be opened from the Finder in Ps CC).
    Finally I uninstalled Ps CS6 from this HD and now CC has established "Dominance".
    Bridge CS6 was NOT removed from my HD when I uninstalled Ps CS6. (You need to keep Bridge CS6 until Adobe replaces the the AOM Panel in Bridge CC.)
    Also, choosing the Default File Associations in Bridge CC, now correctly sets all Photoshop-related Associations to Ps CC instead of Ps CS6.
    Duplicated from another thread beause there are multiple threads all discussing the same issue!

  • 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?

    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...

  • How do I change the download behavior so that the "save as" radio button is selected by default instead of "open with" in the download window?

    For most file types whose download behavior is set to "always ask" the "save as" option is selected by default in the download window. However, for a few others the "open with" option is selected instead.
    Note that Firefox is not automatically opening some files instead of saving them. I still get to choose between saving or opening them, but certain file types start with "open" selected whereas for others "save" is the default.
    What I'm looking for is a way to change all file types to default to "save as" in the download window.

  • Cannot deinstall ps cs4 and bridge cs5 open all files in CS4 instead of Cs5

    I temporarily could not make the Eastman Kodak ROC Professional plug-in work in my PS CS5 so I tried other programs to use this plug-in in. I therefore installed an old PS Elements 5 and PS CS4 (my present PS CS5 is bougth as an update from CS4) . However now the plug-in works fine in my PS CS5 and I of course prefer to work in this. I have, however,  acquired a new problem: The only way I can open picture files in PS CS5 is via the files menu in Photoshop itself. If I try to open via Bridge (and it is Bridge CS5) I can only open the files in PS CS4.  I cannot deinstall PS CS4. Bridge CS5 states that "open in PS CS4 is the default action".
    Sorry if this is a foolish question.
    Git Amager1

    Sorry not to have reacted to the above for so long. Even after doing as you proposed things did not work. In the end I (after the Christmas Holidays) I did reinstall the pc - changed from Vista to windows 7. I do not know what caused the problem initially but at least I think I can conclude that one should not install the cs4 software after having installed cs5. Thank you for your support.

  • In Windows 7, how to make music folders open with iTunes??

    Ok, here’s my little problem:
    In Windows 7, I have iTunes installed with WMP disabled. In the registry, I have added a Windows Explorer right-click shortcut for folders so that I can choose to open/play that folder’s content in iTunes (see image link below).
    http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u297/akita11/Explorer.jpg
    All well and good, but I’m the lazy type. So what I would like, is when I left-click on a music folder that has audio files (like mp3’s) in it, instead of Windows Explorer opening the folder, for Windows to open/play such a folder in iTunes automatically. But, and that’s the thing I guess, this should only apply to music folders with audio files (like mp3’s) in it, and not to any other folder containing non-audio files.
    I know I can go to the Folder Options control panel applet | File types, and edit the advanced settings for “Folder” from ‘Explore’ to ‘Play with iTunes’ as the default. But then this will be applied so that all and any folders open in iTunes, which isn’t exactly what I’m after.
    I guess this can be handled via an advanced registry change, just like I added the Windows Explorer right-click shortcut via a simple registry setting. But for the **** of me I can’t figure out how to do it. I did google around a bit, but without any success.
    All help and advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

    You need to place a shortcut to open Firefox in the Start > Programs > Startup folder.<br />
    That is basically the same in all Windows versions.

  • Disable Keyboard Shortcut for Open Adobe Bridge

    Is there a way to disable the keyboard shortcut which opens Adobe Bridge from Illustrator? Often when I'm working quickly I accidentally hit this (option command o) instead of (shift command o) to outline type. It halts everything to open Bridge, which I never use, and drives me crazy. Is there any way to disable this command?
    Any help would be greatly approciated!!

    Go to Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts > Menu Commands > File and remove or modify the default shortcut for Bridge.

  • Can I change Bridge CC default editor to photoshop elements 13?

    In Bridge CC, can I change default editor to photoshop elements 13? Or at least list it as an external editor?

    In bridge cc if you go to Adobe Bridge>Preferences>File Type Associations you can set pse 13 for the default for whatever file types you want.
    One catch to using photoshop elements with bridge is if you open a camera raw file in the bridge camera raw, the open button will open the file into photoshop instead of photoshop elements.
    You can press the Done button and then open the file into pse 13 and it should retain all the settings, though you won't be able to change some of them in the pse 13 camera raw dialog.

  • Problem viewing video-content folders in Adobe Bridge

    Hi there.
    I have problem browsing folders inside Adobe Bridge CS6. When I get into a folder that contains files that are not just images, Adobe Bridge would not responding and would have to be closed. With the folders contains only images I have no freezing issue and Adobe Bridge run very fast and normal. I usually store images and videos inside the same folder on my image-video albums. I am running windows 8.1 on my laptop computer. I have selected several files with diverse formats inside a test folder each time to check if the program is able to represent the folder or not. I choose a mp4 file inside an image album and it did not response. I replaced mp4 with a ts video file, a wma (audio) file and a docx file (Microsoft word) to see if Bridge can show the folder or not.  Only in case of Microsoft word file the program worked but with the mouse indicator twinkling. Is there any solution to the problem? Should I use a newer version of PS to overcome this drawback?
    Thanks for your attention.

  • Adobe Bridge CS3 Default Folder

    How do I change the Adobe Bridge CS3 default folder?

    I still had no way to change Open With Default. MAybe I should just upgrade Bridge.
    While CS3 is not the best version of Bridge and the changing upgrade policy of Adobe (until december you can upgrade to CS6 with 3 versions back, after that it is only possible to upgrade with one version back
    But I still don't understand what you are looking for, in the subject line it states default folder but you want to have open the files in PSCS3?
    While that should indeed be the default but if that is not the case with you what does your system as default application?
    In Bridge preferences you have also file type associations that give you the option to set default application to open with per file type.
    And on your Mac you can select a file type in the Finder and choose 'get info'. In this window you also can set open with and apply to all.
