Only opens with word

[D. Hayden]

Hi, Suddenly I can´t open with textmaker, only opens with word.  Nowhere do I see how to change this.  I can´t find a spot to change settings.

Hello,

This behavior is related to the application associated with the file type in Windows rather than AxCrypt itself.

When AxCrypt decrypts and opens a file, it uses the default application that Windows has assigned to that file extension. If the extension is currently associated with Microsoft Word, the file will open in Word automatically.

To resolve this:

Right-click a file of the same type.
Select Open with → Choose another app.
Select TextMaker from the list.
Check Always use this app to open this type of file.
Click OK.
Alternatively, you can change the default application for the file type in Windows Settings:

Once TextMaker is set as the default application for that file extension, opening the file through AxCrypt should automatically launch it in TextMaker.

Please let us know which file type/extension you are trying to open if the issue persists, and we’ll be happy to assist further.

Kind regards,
AxCrypt Support Team
