re:"choose the "open with" option. select the application you want. make sure the "always use this program..." box is checked."
crispin, i would disagree with the portion of your instruction that says make sure the "always use this program..." box is checked.
in doing so, one has effectively locked themselves into that choice for, i think, eternity. by that i mean i have never found a way to "unselect" or undo the "open with" choice once it is made. if one chooses incorrectly, the file is virtually locked away. (i am sure there is a work around for this, but no one i know knows it.) :) i've learned that lesson the hard way. i always make sure that the "always use this program" box is not checked.
perhaps the rest of the clickstream you have described does not work properly unless one checks the box, and if that is the case, a decision must be made whether or not one is positive about their choice of opening programs.
otherwise, leave the box unchecked, and if the program you've chosen to open the file with does not work, you are then able to make another selection.
hope i haven't made mud out of clear water. |
