View a file type in a different program for one time

Wednesday, March 18, 2009

In my earlier post we discussed about how to change the default program of a file to make it open in other program forever in Microsoft windows xp. And in this post I m discussing about how to view a file in a different program for once only.  It is very simple.

Let’s take an example, if I want to make some changes in my picture and that file opens up in Picture and file viewer by default then I can open it another program to make changes in it. It is very simple, right click on the file, click on Open with and then select the program from the list. The file will open it selected program.

And if you are using Microsoft windows Vista and want to open the file with other program then also the same process follows.

Make sure

 The Open With dialog box includes the Always Use the Selected Program to Open

This Kind Of file check box. If you select this check box, the program will always open with this type of file. Do not select this check box if you do not want to make this program the default program.
