Make x64 default with "open with" menu

Ive seen several threads to make x32 the default but not to many to make x64 the defualt. It appears that once the install is made I cannot only uninstall the 32 bit photoshop, only both at the same time. I have recently moved from cs4 to cs5. Everything was working perfectly until I decided that I had fully made the transition and uninstalled CS4. Now Im having trouble getting images to open with photoshop in x64 mode. .PSDs will open with the defualt x64 but I use a different viewer for .jepgs. I typicaly open these file types with the right click "open with" command. Unfortunately this command always opens the file in 32 bit mode. I have even tried to use "open with - choose default program" and navigate to the Photoshop X64 folder and select the 64 bit executable from there, but it still opens with 32 bit photoshop. All I want if to be able to use the "Open With" menu to open .jpegs in 64 bit mode. Any advice? Thanks.

Solved it using this guide only pointing to the x64 bit instead.

Solved it!
In my desperation I just began searching the registry for "Photoshop.exe" - There it had the path for the "Photoshop" that you see when you try to change an association (picking the 32bit version using "open with" doesn't matter because it recognizes it as Photoshop and defaults back to whatever the program is in this registry key).
This should make Photoshop 32 bit open every time you open a Photoshop-associated file.
Here is what I did, for anyone coming from Google:
Start > Run > regedit
Browse to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Photoshop.exe\shell\edit\command
Changed the value to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Photoshop.exe" "%1"
(old one was the 64 bit path and executable)
Did the same with HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Photoshop.exe\shell\open\command

How to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

how to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

I note from your system details that you have the plugin for adobe pdf s so I would have expected the files should open in firefox '''without''' you needing to explicitly download them.
Once the files are open in firefox, you will also get the option to save them permanently to a location on your computer. If you wish I suppose you could set the file type pdf to be associated with and be opened by firefox instead of with the Adobe Acrobat Reader, but that would just seem to be an additional complexity.

Cant seem to make photoshop default to open photos in Windows. Its defaulting to Adobe and I changed settings, still not working

When I upload photos from my phone to computer Cant seem to make photoshop default to open photos in Windows. Its defaulting to Adobe and I changed settings, still not working. Even when I press preview on photo and they open in windows photo viewer I cannot save the file to my computer. I have Photoshop CS4

Adding TextEdit.app as non-default in Open with menu

When I open .ps files the default is "Preview.app", which I usually prefer.
But often I want to open the file in TextEdit. How can I add TextEdit to the list of alternate apps
(currently ColorSync, MPEGstreamclip, and TeXShop) without making it the default App?
If I change Open with the TextEdit, it makes TextEdit the default App(wrong!) and moves Preview to the list of alternates. But when I select Preview as the default App(correct) the TextEdit option is deleted.
There was a way to add more non-default Apps in NextStep. Is there a way to do so in OS X?

You can change a file's open with app without affecting any others. Just don't click on the change all button. On subsequent CMD+I checks, TextEdit should show up with the others. If not, you can rebuild the LaunchServices database by launching the Terminal.app, copy & paste in this command (all one line), hit the enter key, and restart:

How do I make all new tabs open with my home page?

When I open a New Tab, it opens with a blank page.
Is there any setting which will force each New Tab to open with my Home Page?

New Tab in Home Page: You can modify Firefox with an extension, though I personally would not want that at all, before dismissing a tab I make sure there is nothing in the tab in a backward direction, and would consider looking at anything but a blank page for a new tab as a distracting encumbrance but you can do what you ask for.
with the following:
*NewTabURL :: Add-ons for Firefox<br>https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/

Java applet runs inside html page when opened with http, but no longer with "Open File" menu, why?

Using the "Open File" menu, file:///Users/234866H/Documents/atom/atomic1.html fails to open the java applet atomic1.class inside atomic.html. However, http://atom.curtin.edu.au/igor/atom/atomic1.html works just fine.
I suspect the problem arose following the recent java upgrade. It is also there on Safari.
Testing Java at http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp yields:
"Your Java is working. Your Java configuration is as follows: Vendor: Apple Inc. Version: Java SE 6 Update 51 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6.8 Java Architecture: 64-bit"
However, this is an http test, and not an "Open File" test.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello, I don't know about this specifically but this is what I would try.
Instead of the string "\u7834\u70C2\u7269\u7A0B\u5E8F\u5458..."
Set the encoding type in the String constructor first...
ie:
new String( "\u7834\u70C2\u7269\u7A0B\u5E8F\u5458...","GB18030");
Here is a little class I whipped up to show the CharSets that are available to you..
public class ShowAllCharSets
ShowAllCharSets()
Map myMap = Charset.availableCharsets();
Iterator iterator = myMap.keySet().iterator();
   while (iterator.hasNext())
      System.out.println("Char set name = "+((String)it.next()));
public static void main(String args[])
   new ShowAllCharSets();
}Then use the preset charset String with the specific encoding already set for your menu items.
GB18030 I picked arbitrarily because it is Chinese and you may have to try another.
Good Luck!

Issue with 'open with' bridge cc

hey all,
i've searched and all the discussions that 'start' with a similar question, get diverted, or people who are 'trying' to help don't really read the question, so here i hope to make is clear so the correct answer will be provided.
specs - windows 8, adobe cc suite (all updated), mainly use pshop, ai, acrobat, lightroom, dw.
BUT i have pshop and ai cs6 STILL installed, because a couple filters / plugins (nik) didn't work on CC when it was initially released. so now nik (google) is all happy with CC so i uninstalled pshop / ai cs6. but now in bridgeCC when i right click on an icon / file i'm given only one 'open with' option. so if it's a pdf that i want to open with pshop or illustrator, it shows the default 'adobe acrobat' to open with, which is correct, but i used to get the option of acrobat / pshopCC / illustratorCC but now only acrobat.
i KNOW i can go to bridgeCC preferences and change the default to something other than acrobat but then it won't give me acrobat anymore. i want the old options of having a CHOICE as the pdf may be best edited in illustrator or pshop.
even when going to bridge FILE>OPEN WITH it only gives one option.
thinking it may have been that i uninstalled pshop / ai cs6, i then uninstalled bridgeCC and redownloaded but it still gave me only one option on 'open with'
this was caused by UNINSTALLING pshop cs6 and ai cs6. i know this as fact because i did a system restore and the options came back. but since i'm not using pshop / ai cs6 anymore, i would like to uninstall them to as i'm not using them.
i've seen other people with this issue but the answer is never clear or gets sidetracked to a regedit issue, which i don't believe is true as when i right click on a file in windows explorer i can do PROPERTIES and change the associate file with but to be clear in BRIDGE CC i want MULTIPLE OPTIONS of programs / apps to open a file with.
hope this makes sense and thanks in advance.

You can add anything you want via scripting, here is an example of setting up Photoshop CS5, Photoshop CS6 and Illustrator CS6 to OpenWith.
Save the script as PLAIN text and save it with a .jsx extension. In Bridge goto Preferences - Startup Scripts and click the "Reveal My Startup Scripts"
this will open the folder where the script should be saved.
#target bridge
//Examples of Open With
//Photoshop CS5
var photoshopCS5 = new MenuElement("command", "Send to Photoshop CS5", "at the end of submenu/OpenWith");
photoshopCS5.onSelect = function (){
var photoshopCS5Path = "C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\\Photoshop.exe";
var sels = app.document.selections;
try{
    for(var a in sels){sels[a].openWith(photoshopCS5Path); };
    }catch(e){alert(e)}
//Photoshop CS6
var photoshopCS6 = new MenuElement("command", "Send to Photoshop CS6", "at the end of submenu/OpenWith");
photoshopCS6.onSelect = function (){
var photoshopCS6Path = "C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\\Photoshop.exe";
var sels = app.document.selections;
try{
    for(var a in sels){sels[a].openWith(photoshopCS6Path); };
    }catch(e){alert(e)}
//Illustrator CS6
var illustratorCS6 = new MenuElement("command", "Send to Illustrator CS6", "at the end of submenu/OpenWith");
illustratorCS6.onSelect = function (){
var illustratorCS6Path = "C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Adobe Illustrator CS6 (64 Bit)\\Support Files\\Contents\\Windows\\Illustrator.exe";
var sels = app.document.selections;
try{
    for(var a in sels){sels[a].openWith(illustratorCS6Path); };
    }catch(e){alert(e)}
Good luck.

Opening .jpg with "Open with" command after installing PSE 8.0

Can anyone tell me how to get PSE 8.0 to appear in the list of available programs (using Vista) when right clicking on a photo? All my previous versions of PSE (6.0, 7.0) have appeared in the list. While Photoshop Premiere elements is there, since I installed PSE 8.0 and uninstalled PSE 7.0, I cannot right click on a photo and open it into PSE 8.0. I've tried resetting default programs and adding to the list but it simply doesn't appear. I don't know if something on installation glitched, though the program works fine- except I cannot open a photo into it without going into the program, and then going to OPEN, which is tedious. I've never had this problem before and much is different in PSE 8.0, so I don't know if its me, my computer or something in the program?
Any ideas? I've tried everything I can think of, including trying ot make it the default program but it won't do that either.
Help!
Thanks in advance if you can help.

I had the same problem on my WinXP Pro SP3 with PSE8. Windows would not let me add PSE 8 to the Open with list of any file extension. I could use Chose Program, navigate to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 8.0\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe" and select it, but it would not be put into the Open with list. Same behaviour when I went from the explorer file extension list.
I finally found out that in the registry, there were old entries left from PSE 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 in key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\. While in PSE 3, 4, 6 and 7, the executables contained the version in their names (like Photoshop Elements 7.0.exe), PSE 5 and PSE 8 are both called PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe. This ambiguity led to Windows not adding PSE 8 in the Open with list. This only started with version 8, since before the names of the executables were all unique.
By investigating this I found out that there were leftovers from PSE 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 all over the registry, although I always uninstalled properly .
It took me quite a while cleaning this mess up.
Note: Do not alter your Windows Registry unless you know exactly what you are doing and have taken a backup of your system before!

Can't open PDF with open with (choose illustrator)

Hi!
We have another small problem . The person that use the Adobe Illustrator want to right click on a PDf file, go to open with and choose Illustrator, but it's not in the list. If I try to add it, it doesn't show.
How can I get that PDF file open with illustrator instead of opening illustrator then open the PDF?
Thanks!
Christian

I'm a bit confused by your answer.
Steve's reply was for a Mac. But you talk of the Start Menu and from your other post it appears you are on Windows. I didn't know it was possible to drag a file onto the Start Menu to open it. Doesn't work for me in Vista.
Regardless, in either OS, you should be able to right click and assign a program.
In Vista I right-clicked a PDF, chose Choose Default Program, then Browse, found Photoshop, and hit Open. The PDF opened in Photoshop and now when I right click a PDF I see Photoshop is in the list of candidates (it wasn't before). It isn't the default though, because even though I went through Choose Default, I didn't every actually assign a new default.

Bridge CS6 crashes with double-click, not with "open with"

Bridge cs6 keeps crashing whenever I double click on a file (jpg/psd/raw files).
After reading on this forum I couldn't find anything that worked for me.
The strange thing is, when I select a file right click open with photoshop CS6 (default) the file opens without any problem in Photoshop.
I have my default file associations of all (image) files set to photoshop CS6.
Any Ideas what can be the problem?

well it never worked, and I installed several times. I kept working with bridge CS5, but I have a new camera with raw files only supported in CS6, so now I'm confronted with this problem again.

Issue with "Open with Explorer" feature

Hello
Since the middle of last week, our users are experiencing some strange issues with the feature "Open with Explorer".
This feature is normally working perfectly, but from time to time, the users are receiving the error message when clicking on the button: "We´re having a problem opening this location in File Explorer. Add this web site to your Trusted Sites list and
try again.".
In all those computers, the SharePoint site is already in Trusted Sites list or in Local Intranet list. Moreover, just closing Internet Explorer and reopening it fix the issue.
Do you know what could be the reason of such a strange behavior?
Thanks in advance
Best regards
Yann

Make sure you are not running into the following scenario.
SPS13
"Open with Explorer" random error "We're having a problem opening this location in File Explorer. Add this web site to your Trusted Sites list and try again"
I quote directly from the above blog post but make sure you read the entire blog post.
The cause and the resolution methods are the following:
Cause: There is a missing Root site collection...
Resolution:
Check and ensure, that the “Managed Paths”
are not changed
in the web Application’s page, there is a (root) explicit for
this web application and there is a working Root site collection.
