Photoshop CS4 file associations (Vista) - fix



--only tried on windows vista - upgraded photoshop cs3 cs4 , lost ability associate photoshop specific file extensions (like .jpg) because didn't show in "openwith" list.  might want try fix:

 

because upgrade install did not update following registry entry;
[hkey_classes_root\applications\photoshop.exe\shell\open\command]

 

mine still set to

@="\"c:\\program files\\adobe\\adobe photoshop cs3\\photoshop.exe\" \"%1\""

windows doesn't see new cs4 version application , if have uninstalled cs3 doesn't see photoshop application period.

 

type following in text file , save '.reg' extension.  make sure path correct in last line , uses exact syntax shown (cut , paste should work make sure check photoshop.exe file path correct machine.)  save desktop , double clicking should automagically update registry.

 

this safer mucking in regedit still careful not make typos, can have unexpected results.

 

========= start file @ next line
windows registry editor version 5.00

[hkey_classes_root\applications\photoshop.exe]

[hkey_classes_root\applications\photoshop.exe\shell]

[hkey_classes_root\applications\photoshop.exe\shell\open]

[hkey_classes_root\applications\photoshop.exe\shell\open\command]
@="\"c:\\program files\\adobe\\adobe photoshop cs4\\photoshop.exe\" \"%1\""
========== end of file @ line before this

 

why adobe didn't in install beyond simple mind ascertain.

you must writing 32 bit?

your showing lot more slashes too. maybe correct using software mentioned?

 

 

my 64 bit version works fine, no edits, , have showing in hive in command box section since install:

 

value name:

(default)

 

value date:

"c:\program files\adobe\adobe photoshop cs4 (64 bit)\photoshop.exe" "%1"
