Works well on windows 10

This tool is quite helpful to change the file association when default app settings are broken.
Compared to regedit or system settings, it is fast and easy to use.

Brilliant little bit of software. Something like this should have been default a decade or more ago.

For anyone unsure how to use it:

narrow down the file extension to change
double click to get properties window
go to actions tab
type open in the first field
select the application path in the third field

A portable and functional tool that does what it needs to do, edit file types. Not to mention it does it better than the cut-down association editors of Windows Vista and 7.
