• The default program for .ai files is Bridge and Windows won't let me change it.

  My computer refuses to associate with Illustrator .ai files. On the contrary, she associated bridge.  Even when you right-click on a file and go to "open with...". "Illustrator is not an option.  It is especially annoying because I like to work with objects smart AI in the PS and when I go to edit a smart object, my computer tries to open it in Bridge (then what's happening, it's the folder Temp opens in Bridge and I have to hang out in Illustrator to edit.)  It is a huge obstacle to productivity, and I'd like to get this resolved.  Here are some pictures of what happens when I try to edit it in Windows.  First of all, you will see that illustrator is not a recommended as default of AI program.

  

  And when I go to browse and select Illustrator CC 64 - bit, it brings back me to the dialog box 'Open with' above as if I had not done something.

  

  Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.

  Hi guys

  I found the solution to your problem.

  The problem is that Illustrator CS6 and CC is using the same name 'Illustrator' so when you go for example CC folder and choose windows illustrator.exe already sees Illustrator was added and just jump back to the same screen.

  If you look in the folder C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS6 \Support Files\Contents\Windows (64-bit), you will see the name of the file (illustrator.exe)

  If you look in the folder C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC (64 Bit) \Support Files\Contents\Windows you will see the name of the file (illustrator.exe)

  If you change the file illustrator.exe for CS6 or CC for example IllustratorCC.exe for the record CC

  Change the names of these for example

  If you look in the folder C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS6 \Support Files\Contents\Windows (64-bit), you will see the name of the file (illustratorCS6.exe)

  If you look in the folder C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC (64 Bit) \Support Files\Contents\Windows you will see the name of the file (illustratorCC.exe)

  Then, you will be able to add them to the list of associated files.

  You can do this for all applications from Photoshop, first, AE, etc, are all the same

  Hope this helps

  Thank you

• Cannot change the default program for opening .dll

  For some reason any, since I first linked the default program to open files .dll with Visual C++ 2010 Express (which is not truly attempt open, but instead of it gave me a message somewhere near the lines of "File not supported - Type does not open", incidentally) by chance I could not change since. I took a screenshot of the dialog box to try to change (URL below after all), but I noticed that the box was grayed out (the theme I have is a modified version of the classic Windows theme, but on 7, to clarify the operating system). I also tried to select a file after having hit the "Browse" button, but it didn't open anything. I tried several programs in the present to open, much less to change the default value (these are two notable examples): Netbeans - primarily an IDE for Java, but can open binary files even if she's not actually modify them (note: I changed absolutely nothing on any of them even if I has modified it to make it the default program but this problem affects more than just the ones) (, and it did not start until the last default) and Notepad. I went through the 'Open with' dialog box, and this is where I first encountered the problem of it (described above) outside the Control Panel, which it wouldn't let me change the association of file of it in particular, even if I didn't have one of these questions with any other type of file I tried to change, before or after this madness.
