can't change file type association

[Kent McPherson]

In XP Pro SP1, I'm trying to change .TIF files to open with Photoshop
Elements instead of the default Microsoft application. I browse to the
Photoshop Elements.exe file and say Open but it is not changed nor to PS
Elements show up in the program list. Any suggestions?

Hi

Right click on a .TIF file and select Open With>Choose Program. You may
have to use Browse to find PE and enable 'Always use the selected program to
open this kind of file'.

This is what I did and it doesn't stick.

Hi

Has PE got it's own File Types setting where you can include .TIF files to
be opened by that program?

Yes, it does but I can't get it to stick there either.

I'm also having the same problem with MS Project files. I try to add it to
the File Association list and it looks like it's working; but when I look for
it, it's not there. Did you find out what was your problem?
Thanks in advance for your time on this.

Have you tried associating from Folder Options > File Types dialog?
