The problem is not to change default opening program
The only real good question is: how to perform custom task on a given file extension thanks to the former XP folder options \ File types tab.
Using WordPad instead of NotPad to open text files is really not an interesting topic. Everybody knows how to do that. If you've got nothing more useful to say, just don't say anything. The net is full of guys who think they can help... Answer: you cannot because Microsoft staff is stupid and wants everybody else to behave like them: the stupid way. So if you have a contextual menu to right click for jpeg resize, this feature is gone forever with Win7 Workaround: switch to Linux Last edited by Strider; 17-01-2010 at 05:02 AM.. |

Re: How to change Folder Options in Windows 7
Spot on, horheg. Also, no flames, Mice, especially toward Strider. I'm sure there are many out here who appreciate any tips they can get. I'd also like to see a series on the functional differences between XP and 7 for those trying to upgrade.
