PESO:

A problem has cropped up that is driving me crazy and I can't find a
solution.  All of a sudden, for no reason, my Windows 7 machine has stopped
associating photo files - dngs, tifs, jpegs, etc - with Photoshop and is
trying to link them to a Windows program like Explorer or Photo Viewer.
 When you right click on the file and get "Open With.."  Photoshop is not a
choice.  It will not allow me to choose Photoshop or anything else except
about 8 different Windows programs.

The problem that is driving me crazy is when I import or move any dng
files, Windows tries to open the file with a program that will not open it.
 I don't want to open the file, I just want to move it or import it, but
Windows stops everything while it tries to open the file with the wrong
program.

I've found a few instances with the same problem on the internet but they
are several years old and when I try to use the same work-arounds that
solved their problem, it doesn't work.

I haven't been able to get any work done, including the LUG challenge on
Hands, and it's driving me crazy.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Windows 7, Photoshop CC, LR 5

TIA

TIna
