File Associations in Windows7

[Siberian]

I'm having problems getting a file to associate its self with it's program. I've tried all the methods that you would typically follow to fix this and it doesn't work. I found a method with edits the registry, that didn't work either. I hope someone can help me fix this ?

did you create the file with fotoshop ,what is the file extention of the file in question or is it more that one file

[caperjack]

try opening photo shop,open the file in question ,then go to file in toolbar and chose save as and save file lets say to the desktop for quick access , close photo shop ,go to desktop and click on saved file ,see if it opens in photoshop

I've tried all of those suggestions that is why I posted.

Photoshop only read files that associated to it. Like image files with extension like e.g .jpg, .psd, .tif etc. If your file is not an image file. I think you won't be able to link it to Photoshop at all. Maybe you could provide more information about the file than maybe someone could help.
