Changed .idx file 'open with'

J

j.schools

I changed files that ended in .idx to open with 'acrobat
reader 6.0' accidentally, and I don't know how to change
it back. It wasn't 'opened' with anything, it
said 'unknown' for open with.

I'm not sure what I have done, but I pretty much think
it's not right. Just want to put it back the way it was.
I'm not computer literate, so bear that in mind when
instructing me. Thanks, j. schools

it sounds as though you've inadvertently created a file association.

Go into Windows Explorer and go to "Tools" and "Folder Options" and click on
the tab "File Types". If you scroll down do you see a listing there for IDX
(in the left hand column - if it's set to open with Acrobat you may see a
reference to this in the right-hand column)?

If so, click on it and press "Delete"

Explorer - Tools - Folder Options - File Types

Here you can delete this wrong combination.
