Description:
Windows recognizes the file extensions and it opens them up with the proper application. If it fails to recognize, then only it asks for window open with, which has possible applications through which the file can be opened. For this, go to start > run menu, enter regedit and navigate to the registry path listed below. Now, create an expandable string value name default, if this value does not exist. Now, right-click and modify the value data box with rundll32.exe shell32.dll,openas_rundll %1 to enable the setting and rundll32.exe shell32.dll,openas_rundll %1 %2 to disable it. Click ok and close the registry editor. Return to the desktop and press f5 for the change to take effect.
