Hi
This question may be basic but I forgot how to do it.
I have two programs that can open icon files, PMView and Icon Editor.
When you doble click the file it opens PMView by default.
How do I change it to open Icon Editor by default? Is there a way to do it without removing the PMView ICO association?
Regards
There are a number of things that affect this. First, the easy way to select a program that is not default, is to RMB on the file icon, then, if there is one, or more, associations, there will be a list when you click on the small arrow beside Open As. Pick the program that you want to use. The default (if any) will have a mark beside it (sometimes, there is no mark, but you can select from the program list).
You can change the default by going to Properties-> Menu, and play with that stuff, but I think it only affects the file that you are working with, and that can become very confusing if you forget what you did, and that file does something different than what other files do.
To globally change the order, you need to remove, and/or add, associations in the program icon properties.The last one that you set will be last in the list of the file menu, and the rest move up until they are at the top, and they are set as default (unless some other method is used to change the default action - I haven't figured out how that is done).
Okay, now switch to Turbo folders, and the whole thing changes. I played with that for a few hours, a few months ago, but I could find no way to change the default program selection (and it seems that it is always wrong

). That could be an operator fault, but I did try everything that looked like it might work. It didn't so I turned off Turbo folders, and haven't got back to it, yet.
