Can't get Photo to show in the Open With list for image files

[HorseBoy]

Hello,

 

I am trying to get Photo to show in the right click -> Open With list of programs. I have manually tried Open with -> 'Choose another app' and picked Photo, but it still doesn't show up in the list permanently.

 

I want my image files to be associated with my image viewer - IrfanView, as they are right now, but for Photo to show in the list, just like Paint, Photos (the Modern / Store App) and Photoshop do. I am on Windows 10 FWIW.

 

Thanks.

Hi,

 

Maybe this could help: http://defaultprogramseditor.com/

Thanks for the link.

 

I tried that app, but it still doesn't seem to work. I have attached a screenshot in which the app says that Photo is in my Open With list for .png, but it isn't there when I right click a .png file.

Well, there is the basic way if you are not afraid of modifying the Registry: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-any-application-to-the-desktop-right-click-menu-in-vista/

 

You better save the registry file before proceeding in case something goes wrong

 

Good luck!

This registry modification just adds a link to an application in the desktop context menu (as the article says) not to the "Open With" list of a certain file type.
