2.1

While logged into oneDesktop, right-click the Locate file you’d like to open with a different program, and click ‘Properties', and confirm the ‘Type of file’ is what you’d like to set, then click ‘Ok’ after confirming this.

For this example, a PDF is being set to open with Chrome, but we want to open it with Adobe instead, so we’ll want to confirm the ‘Type of file’ is PDF under properties.
