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. | ||
2.2 | Right-click your file again, and this time click ‘Open with…’ and then ‘Choose another app’. | ||
2.3 | Select the program you’d like to open the file with (in our example, we’ll select Adobe Acrobat Reader DC). then check the box for ‘Always use this app to open files’, and then clicking ‘OK’ to confirm this. | and right click | |
2.2 | Hover over Open with, and select the desired program (Here I’m selecting Photos) | ||
