Fix Photoshop File Association Problem
Repair Photoshop Association File with ease
“I recently upgraded my Adobe Photoshop CS4 version to the latest Adobe Photoshop CS5 version and deleted the older CS4 version after installation. But the problem is whenever I try to open an existing PSD file; my Windows 7 operating system is asking me with what program to open the file. When I goggled up the issue, I found that I’ve lost all associations of all Photoshop related files like .jpg, .psd, .tiff, .ai and so forth. I didn’t find any solution for the problem, any suggestions would be appreciated? Thanks in advance”
