982. Can no longer associate a PROGRAM to file type

Windows 10 changed the way to associate a program to file type as a default. It now goes through SETTINGS and APPS, even if you try to use Control Panel as it could be done before. It ONLY allows you to choose an APP or to got to MSFT Store to find an APP. The option to use a specific program on your PC is GONE!

But, there is always a way:

Click a file with the type you want to set and do an OPEN WITH (**). Then select "Choose another App". Keep going until you get to File Explorer to select by selecting "More Apps", then "Look for another app on this PC". When you get to File Explorer just select the program you desire, probably xxx.exe in some folder (try the Programs File).

** If you choose to set this as a default for this type, you need to check the box on initial dialog to indicate so.
