Fix open mode and file association in RC version of Win 7

  

Just received a message, used to use Office Outook to view mail attribute information, and the current system default mail program is Windows Live Mail , so use “open method" to specify that the message is opened by Office Outlook. When specifying the open mode, remember to choose whether you want to remove the option to always open the file with the selected program.

And after this operation is executed, Office Outlook does not open the correct mail file (.eml type) correctly. Now it can only restore the previous state first, according to the experience of using Windows XP in the past. In the folder option, you can set the file key and open mode, but under Windows 7 gOxiA is confused! I haven't found it for a long time, because it is the reason of RC version, it is difficult to search for relevant information in the help system, at least It is impossible to search for related help through several keywords. But I can be sure that the system will have a place to set up. This reminds me of the control panel —— system configuration center, after trying hard to find the location.

Open the control panel. By default, the control panel is arranged in categories, so as shown in the figure below, we need to click on “Program” to find the default program settings. Here we can change Specifies how the type file is opened and the default program settings.

Of course, under the category list arrangement, we may not be able to intuitively let us know the specific information of each setting function. I personally recommend switching the viewing mode to “large icon”, so I will A clear understanding of the name of each setup function.

Click “Set Default Program", we can see the default program currently registered in the system in the program list box on the left side of the figure below, select Windows Live Mail, and click on the right side of the “ Select the default value of this program ”, then check the extension of the type of “.eml” in “Setup Program Association" and click OK to complete the setup.

Of course, we can also specify the opening method of a specific file type by clicking on the file type or protocol associated with the program in the default program settings panel.

After the whole article is finished, I know that there is so much room for expansion in an open way. When using a computer at home, there are always some things that are more private. You can use this method in the opposite direction, so that others can't open this type of file. Of course, the premise is that others have not read this article.
