“Open With” dialog ignores my selection

I am using Windows 7. I am using Processing 2.06a and want to start .PDE files with the processing.exe file. Processing does not have install files (like Eclipse, or any other portable software) so you can place it anywhere. I placed it in the Program Files folder however.

If I rightclick on a .PDE file,

click "Open with...",

click "Browse...",

look for the "processing.exe" file,

click "OK" (in the browse dialog)

and click "OK" (in the open with dialog)

it does not open Processing, but it opens Adobe Reader (presumably since it is the first item in the list).

  1. After you browse and select processing.exe from the Browse dialog, please ensure that processing.exe is also selected in the Open With dialog.

  2. Make sure that the following option is checked - Always use the selected program to open this kind of file

You have most likely selected Adobe Acrobat reader and made it the default program. You can right click your PDE files and look at the section labeled Opens with to identify the default program. To change the default program, click on change and click on browse and follow steps 1 & 2.

Cheers.
