In Windows 7 I typed file extension into the search box. I arrowed down to make a file type always open in a specific program. I entered on that. I chose dot doc files. Word 2010 was the default. I chose WordPad. When I opened a doc file there was gibberish. I then went back and chose Jarte. Now when I enter on a doc file it opens and is readable in Jarte.

Thanks for asking the question Mike because now it is easier to open my multitude of doc files! Rather than opening Jarte and using the open dialog I can just enter on a doc file and it opens in Jarte.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Assigning File Types With Windows7

Hi All,

How do you assign / associate file types to be opened with specific programs
in Windows7?  I went to Tools / Options & didn't find the File Types tab /
page!  Where is it?!  LOL  LOL

Do you use the context menu exclusively to assign / associate file types
with specific programs in Widows7?  If the File Types Tab / Page exists,
would someone please tell me where it is?  All help will be  greatly
appreciated.  Thanks much, take care.
Mike
