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...

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 set PSE 9 in W7 64bit as the default program to open jpeg files?

Hi
A simple question, so obvious to solve, but not in this case?
Since Windows 7 64bit keeps 32bit applications within Program Files (x86) folder, they are not listed within the Program Files folder and you are not allowed to associates Jpeg and other similar extension to Photoshop Elements 9 !
This is soemthing I had from the beginning when I purchased PSE9 last year and never needed, but now I have the need as I sporadically work on loads of images at one time.
What do I do?
Thanks

A member at Win7 forums posted a fix here: http://www.w7forums.com/open-win7-not-working-t6230p5.html
Here's the post:
Start Menu>Search>regedit
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Photoshop.exe\shell\open\command
Depending on whether you are running the 32 bit or 64 bit you will want to enter the correct directory of your photoshop.exe application. To do this right click on the "Default" file after navigating to the above location, click "modify" and enter the correct location of photoshop.exe. I am runnning the 64 bit version so the correct location for me was the following:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe"
Click "Ok" and close out of Registry Editor.
Right Click on any JPEG, BMP, etc. select "open with" and be happy to see photoshop sitting right there in the program list.

I can't get my PC to use Illustrator CC (2014) as the default program to open .ait or .eps files.

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:
C: > Program Files > Adobe > Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 > Support Files > Contents > Windows > Illustrator
Anyone know how to fix this?

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).

I am trying to use the trial creative cloud software on a PC windows 8.1 - I've downloaded and removed Photoshop CC 2014 two times - every time I open the file it says there is a problem and it shuts down and closes. I can open indesign and maybe other apps but photoshop no. Any ideas?

I don't think I can access the crash report? Excuse the ignorant questions I'm about to make am a relative tech novice.
Soo - as mentioned every time I open photoshop it crashes - it just says there's an error and the program will shut down and if there's a solution windows will notify me. Then nothing...
I've tried to look in photoshop files for the detailed crash report & the system event viewer but cannot find a file with those names. I've also looked in the windows files for files with those names but cannot find them either - so I don't know where to look.
Any guidance would be great.

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.

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.

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.
