Customizing file associations

You can associate a number of different file types with Corel applications. When you double-click a file you have associated with an application, the application starts and the file opens. When you no longer need a file type association, you can break it.

(Windows 7 and Windows 8) Associating a file type with an application adds the application to the list of recommended programs for opening this file type.

To do this, click the Start button on the Windows taskbar, and then click Default programs. Next, click Associate a file type or protocol with a program.
