How to make VS2005 as default?

saibhuvan

Hi,

I installed VS2005 on my system first and then when i installed VS2003 later on .But after installing VS2003 ,whenever i open a file related VS2005 its trying to open through VS2003.

So how to Change the settings to make the VS2005 as a default one instead of VS2003.

Thanks,

Bhuvan.

Hi Bhuvan,

Right click the file you want it to open, Open With >> Choose Program...(With "Always use the selected program to opern this kind of file" Checked) to locate your VS 2005 program, the default path is like: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe, then OK.

Next time double clicking the file will attempt to open this kind of file by VS2005.

Thanks

The file related setting is affected after installation of the visual studio.

You can also change it in windows browser, Folder Options >> File Types, look for the file types to change the default open application.

Thanks
