He asked: "In other words, how does Windows know with which software/program it must open a certain file(type)?" He's obviously looking at understanding how Windows associates file types. This answer addresses a common Windows problem that people run into trying to control program associations when Windows stops them from doing so. The exact registry path was already provided in a different answer. If the answer above doesn't work for somebody in the same situation, this answer will be much easier. | |
