How to change the default program used to open a file type in Windows 7

 If you’ve ever installed a program and suddenly found certain file types opening with it instead of what you had before, it can be confusing and annoying. Today we take a look at how you can control which applications are opening certain file types on your computer.

set-associations-windowsWindows will usually open a specific file type in the same program, known as the default program, all the time. Windows 7 support only opens one program for a particular file extension. suppose if you like your JPEG files to open with Photoshop Elements, for example, and not Paint, then changing that default program for JPEG files is what you need to do.

This can easily be rectified though. Here's following steps will help  to change default program and help to open in windows 7 support environment.

Step1: From the Start menu select the Control Panel.

Step2: Open the Program section and then click on Make a file type always open in a specific program from the section labeled Default Programs.

Step3: Windows will now display a list of all the various file extensions and the default program currently used to open it. To change the default program, simply click on the extension your require. For example .doc. Now press Change Program in the top right-hand corner of the window.

Step4: You'll now be offered a list of programs installed on the PC that can open this file type. Select the one you want and press OK. The default program will now be changed.

Step5: Alternatively, you can right-click on any file with this extension and select Open with from the drop down menu. Press Choose default program from the menu and you'll be presented with the compatible programs installed on the machine. Select the one you want and then make sure the box next to Always use the selected program to open this type of file is checked. Press OK.

How to customize Windows Start button in Windows 7

There are many different ways and means of customizing the Windows 7 desktop, both using tools built into the OS itself, and third-party applications to change more setting. But they all seem to make one assumption: that the default location for the Start menu’s button -- the left or top of the Taskbar depending on its position -- is the right one.
If you are bored of look at the same old Windows 7 Start Orb, you can now change it easily. Start Orb Mover comes from the folk at The Windows Club, and is still very much in its early stages of development, despite the 1.0 version number. There are many things to like about it -- small download (1MB) and portability, so there’s no installation or messing about with system files involved.

If you don’t like original button, then you can follow the given steps to set your start button.
  •  Right-click on the "Start" button in an open area on the Windows 7 home screen and   click "Properties." The Task bar and Start Menu Properties dialog box appears on the screen.
  • Click the "Customize" button in the upper-right corner of the dialog box. The Customize Start Menu dialog box appears on the screen.
  •  Type the number of programs you want to display into the field to the right of "Number of Recent Programs to Display" at the bottom of the dialog box. Then click OK two times to save your changes and exit the dialog box.
If the Start Button does not get changed, you may have to follow these steps:
  •     Make sure that the program is closed.
  •     Manually take ownership of “C:\Windows\explorer.exe” – or you can use our UWT to do so easily.Run the program and select the orb.
