I can't set the photoshop CS6 as a default program to open jpg file on my windows 7 64bit computer?

I reintalled 3 times for CS6 but the default program associated with jpg file still is unknown application.
I try to change the default program, I can see the photoshop cs6 icon at the Adobe program folder.
But just can be selected.

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.

  • 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)

  • How can I set the OS to show list view when I open a file in an application.

    So I know you can chose view options in Finder to always show files in list view there. But how do you set the OS to do the same when opening files in an application.

    Okay, cheers, so I guess it's stored in the application prefs. I just installed Snow L last week and it bothered me that everytime I opened a document I had to set my pref again. I wasn't aware that it was storing it for that particular app though cause I'm using so many differnt apps. But you are right, it does store for the individual app. Cheers for the answer!

  • 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.

  • How do I set Excel as default program to open CSV files?

    I am using a program that creates CSV files which I wish to open with Excel. Currently, the CSV files just open as a raw data sheet on my computer. Support folks said I didn't have Excel as my default program to open CSV files; How do I do this?
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    You can only set an automatic download action for CSV to open with Excel is a website sends such a file with a supported MIME type. In other cases you need to select the application to use. You can set the default application via Windows Explorer to make Firefox offer that as first choice (right click a CSV file > Open With).

  • Can I purchase the Photoshop CS6 student version in this educational stage? When does it expire?

    Hi! I'm from Spain. I'm in a educational stage that would be more or less equivalent to what you call high school. This stage here is called "bachillerato". Does anyone know if at this stage I have rights to buy and use legally the Photoshop CS6 Extended student version for learning and earning money with commercial projects like games with some elements made with that version of Photoshop? Please only answer if you really know the answer, please don't simply say "yes" because in other countries you can get the version because of beeing in high school, because this is not exactly the same as high school.
    And, if I can get the license and use it legally that way: when does it expire in this to cases?
    A) I don't go to University. Would it expire when I finish "bachillerato". Or when?
    B) I go to University but I don't study anything related with Photoshop.
    I know that if I study something related with Photoshop in University I can use the student version then.

    I would contact Adobe España Customer support, as they should know the full qualifications for "educational" accreditations there.
    As for the university qualification, one does not normally need to be pursuing a degree, that would use Photoshop, to qualify for the "educational" discount - just full student, or teacher, accreditation - but that might differ in Spain?
    Also, for many years now, Adobe has removed the restriction on doing commercial work (for pay) with the educational version, and that should be universal, and not just limited to certain countries, but it might pay to ask that question of Customer Support.
    Good luck,

  • Setting Photoshop CC 2014 as my "Default Program" to open JPEG files in Windows 7

    I just installed Photoshop CC 2014 on my Windows 7 computer. I had set Photoshop as my "Default Program" to open up JPEG files. Now whenever I double-click a JPEG file, Photoshop CC will launch instead of Photoshop CC 2014. I have noticed that the executable files for all versions of Photoshop are "Photoshop.exe" (no wonder Windows gets confused). If I changed the name of the executable file for Photoshop CC 2014 to something like "Photoshop2014.exe" then Windows will let me choose the program as my "Default Program" to open up a JPEG, however this makes it impossible for me to open up files in Lightroom. Lightroom will default back to Photoshop CC.
    I have changed the name of the executable file for Photoshop CC 2014 back to "Photoshop.exe" and renamed all the executable files for my legacy versions of Photoshop. This still does not work.
    Do I need to make some types of change in the registry?

    This is from the post at this site: Re: Adobe CS6 file associations are all messed up
    Just change the directory to the correct EXE for cc 2014 and you should be good.

    Here is a registy fix for Win7 machines to the file association problem.
    This from TinusHDCA user:
    I installed Photoshop CS6, then found CS5 was still there. I thought, hey, I don't need CS5 anymore, so I uninstalled CS5. then I found out that Photoshop was no longer available in 'Open with' when right-clicking an image...
    So I went into the Registry, HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Photoshop.exe\shell\open\command, and changed the (Default) from "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" "%1" to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" "%1" (so changed CS5 to CS6) - and now I see 'Adobe Photoshop CS6' in my 'Open with' list when right-clicking an image...

  • Setting InDesign CC as default program to open indd files

    I have both CS6 and CC for inDesign.  I need to keep CS6 for a plug-in which is not available yet for CC.  indd files are opening with CS6 as default, even if CC is open.  I have tried the Open with feature, and browse to the CC program, but when I click on it, my computer doesn't recognize it as a possibility for opening CC.  I have uninstalled CS6 and CC became available as the default, but as soon as I put CS6 back on, no dice.  Any ideas?

    Following steps has worked for me (on Windows 7)
    Here is my method...
    1. Find out your InDesign CS6 executable program file (usually: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS6\InDesign.exe")
    2. Rename the file (ex.: "InDesign.exe.old"). This version of InDesign will be temporary disable to run.
    3. Right click on any .indd file and select "Open with..." in the menu.
    4. Now you can see that  the default program InDesign CS6 is no more available in the top applications list.
    5. Make sure that the "Always use..." option is checked and browse to InDesign CC executable program file (usually: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CC (64 bit)\InDesign.exe")
        Now all your .indd files will open by default with InDesign CC.
    6. Rename your InDesign CS6 executable program (previously named: "InDesign.exe.old") to "InDesign.exe" to make it back enable to run.
    After this last step, InDesign CC still remain the default program to run .indd files but both versions of InDesign (CS6 and CC) would be now available under the "Open with..." menu. Than you will be able to select what version of InDesign you wish to use to open your .indd file and/or select your prefered version to be the default version.

  • Making an application the default program to open certain files

    Hello,
    I have a stupid question that has been bugging me for a long time.
    I have installed parallels to use windows and when i used its office excel, it prompted me if I want to open the files with window's excel; which I did. Then now everytime I open an excel file on my mac HD, it starts parallels to launch its excel to open. I tried the option of open with "other" and select my mac's excel but this only applies on the particular file. I uninstalled parallels to avoid this problem and it still tries to locate parallel's excel which no longer exists.
    So I have everytime to select the file and use the open with option which is very unpractical.
    This applies for any other application so is there an effective way to change the "default" application that opens certain files? There must be a way to do that!!!!
    Please help.

    Hi Carol,
    Do the following:
    1. Click once on any Excel file.
    2. From the menubar select File->Get Info
    3. In the "Open with" section click on the drop down menu and select the Microsoft Excel, ensuring it's the Apple Mac version that's located in your Applications folder. If it's not listed, select "other" and then navigate to the application.
    4. Click on the "Change All" button and confirm.
    That's it. Everytime you double click on that file type, it will open in the Application of your choice.

  • Question: how can I tell Bridge I want to set PS CS5 as the default program for opening .psd files

    How do I change a specific file type association in Bridge CS5, namely the .psd file type? I had installed Photoshop CS6, but am unable to use it due to extreme slowness (another problem, not for this question). I have reverted to using Photoshop CS5 and Bridge CS5.
    Now when I double-click on a .psd file in Bridge CS5 to open it (or right-click on the .psd file) , the file opens up in the glacially slow CS6. I went to edt>preferences>file type associations to change the association to Photoshop CS5, but .psd is not listed as a file type (.jpg and .dng and a host of other file types are listed). How can I change the association if I cannot find the file type? (BTW: I have changed the file type association in Windows Explorer; I am running Windows XP.) I know I can open PS CS5 manually and scroll to the image I want to open but, to my mind, that defeats one of the main purposes of Bridge.
    Any advice you can offer would be gratefully received.
    Thank you.

    Win 7 works very goo on my home computer, much better security. One problem myslef inlcuded have had is files permissisons, especially on external drives, and you have to dig to china in the menus to fix it, or else you can't save over the same file name. So if you plan on upgrading do it on a day you can troublshoot to fix that annoyance, though at this point might be good to wait for win8.
