Windows 7 change action when right clicking on file

[Bruce]

Hi,

When I right click on an image file and select "Edit" it opens the file in Paint and I was wondering how I go about changing that to open "Photoshop" instead.

Thanks
Bruce

Right click the file and select open with and Photoshop and check box to make it default if you wish.

"Edit" and "open with" are different functions. If you wish to change the edit program you need to make a registry change. You can do this manually or there are utility programs available to do it for you. There is a good guide to the options here:

Thanks!! That program at Link Removed was for Window XP, but there was instructions to do it manually.
