How to change the default program for opening images

I have several Versions of Photoshop element installed, but when I click on an image to open it, it is automatically defaulted to PSE3.  How can I change this so PSE8 is the default value?

Well, I might suggest that you uninstall the older versions of PSE, but if you do not want to...

  1. Right-click on an image file
  2. Select open with >
  3. Select Choose program
  4. Click the Browse button
  5. Navigate to the executable file for PSE8 (probably something like C:\Program Adobe Photoshop Elements 8\PhotoshopElements.exe), and then click Open
  6. Back to screen 'Open with', check the box "Always use the selected program to open this type of file"
  7. Click OK

  • 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.

    I suggest that you try to restore the system to an earlier point before the issue started and check if it helps.

  • How to change the default attributes for an index for a subpartition without data in it

    Hello

    The use of oracle 11.2.0.3 attributes and modifydefault for a partition, for example the tablespace can but can not use the same syntax for a subpartition.

    Is it possible to change the default attributes for a subpartition?

    ALTER index RTRN_CUR_CONV_IDX change the default attributes for the subpartition SYS_SUBP64934 RTRN_PART_201505 tablespace

    Thank you

    Refer to the section of the doc "a Subpartition template editing.

    http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/B28359_01/server.111/b32024/part_admin.htm#i1007904

    A Subpartition template editing

    You can change a model of a composite partitioned table subpartition by replacing it with a new model of subpartition. All subsequent operations that use the subpartition template (such as ADD PARTITION or MERGE PARTITIONS ) will now use the new subpartition template. Existing subpartitions remain unchanged.

    If you change a subpartition of a range model * composite partitioned table, then of range partitions that have not yet been created will use the new subpartition template.

    Use of the ALTER TABLE ... SET SUBPARTITION TEMPLATE statement to specify a new subpartition template. For example:

    You will need to 'fix' the new model as in the doc example.

    By the example of partitions with just a line in them, we find the secondary partition with data correctly a tablespace name as expecetd, but 4 other secondary partitions always show the name of the default tablespace in user_ind_subpartitions.

    Any idea whay and if can change

    Change the template affects only the created NEW partitions/subpartitions. If you want existing subpartitions to a different tablespace, you will need to move it.
