Make Windows 10 auto-recognize and open .project with a Default Application

Justin Reina89

I am having trouble setting Windows 10 to automatically open my .project, .cproject and .ccsproject files with Notepad or Notepad++, their interface for 'Default Apps->Choose default apps' does not appear to allow adding these file types.


Has anyone successfully completed this? Thoughts?

    Hello,
    Try the following:
    1) right-clicking on the file in windows explorer
    2) choose "Open with' in the context menu
    3) select "More Apps"
    4) If available, select Notepad++ from the list of applications. If not available, select "Look for another app on this PC" and browse to the location of the Notepad++ exe
    5) Done

    Note: make sure the "Always use this app to open file" check box is always enabled.

    Thanks

    Hi Ki-Soo,

     That there is my key issue, the checkbox for "Always use this app to open file" is not present! See attached. Thoughts?

    Hello,

    I'm not sure why you do not see the option like below:

    This is more of a Windows issue and not CCS. You may want to check with Microsoft support.


    One thing that came to mind - what permissions do you have? I have admin permissions.


    Thanks

    Wow, thank you for the suggestion to contact MS Support!!!! Here was their response -

    "You dont have to worry because this is a well known issue here in Microsoft and i encountered a lot of issues like this before and most of the time i resolved it by performing system file checker or inplace installation"

    They then had me perform the full "Windows 10 System Update", and magically it was resolved, immediately.

    Thank you!!
