Apart from actually browsing for the file, you'll initially be in the recommended group of applications, but if you move down, you'll come to a list of almost all installed applications that reckon they can handle the file type.

I also sometimes use first letter navigation in this list.

Apart from that, yes, after you find what you want in the list, or add it yourself, check the option to always use the choice, and tab to Ok, and hit space.

Stay well

In the dialogue where the list is, did you press the browse button and find from the open dialogue the hjpad.exe? It's in the program files and the folder of freedom scientific and jaws. You must find it from the dialogue. After you press the open button, you must check "always use the selected program to open this kind of files" and then ok button.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Assigning a program to open a text file.


Hi
For some reason my computer switched from using HjPad from freedom scientific to WordPad to open text files on my computer. I want to switch it back to HjPad. How do I do this? So far, I tried locating a text file and then pressed the applications key. On the menu that appears there is an option to reassign the file to another program. HjPad is not in the list of programs to choose from. No matter what I do I can not get HjPad.exe added to this list. What am I doing wrong?
    Thank you for your help.

God bless,
Mark
