FreeCommander Forum

First - I just installed FreeCommander on a new computer after using on the old one for YEARS. So there could be a missing setting, but I thought I looked.

Situation - I double click a jpg file in a folder in the left window (doesn't matter which side, same behavior, left or right).

A small window pops up stating - How do you want to open this file? And my current system default is displayed, and right below it is "Featured in Windows 10 - Photos" and below that are a series of other installed programs that understand how to open JPGs (Adobe Photoshop Elements, Corel Paint Shop Pro, etc., etc., etc.)
Under that is a checkbox that reads "Always use this app to open .JPG files." Doesn't matter if I check the box or not, it continues to ask which program I want to use.

Any suggestions? RTFM? If so, what page did I skip?

Which FC version are you using and which OS version?

Probably it's a Windows behavior / issue, asking from time to time.

Workaround: https://freecommander.com/fchelpxe/en/S ... ction.html

FC version XE 2014 Build 650.

Windows 10 Pro Version 21H2
Installed on ‎7/‎29/‎2021

I'll try setting default actions.

Thanks
