Hi everyone!

I have a little problem... I accidentally set the default program to open a .cbz file in a folder to the Windows Photo Viewer. However, the original file didn't really have a default program to open it... (the icon is a white sheet of paper with a little folded corner at the top left...)
And I was wondering if it was possible to go back...
I hope I was clear enough.

Thanks in advance!

    right click / properties / open with: click on modify to choose the program with which it opens.

    but what you did does not alter the file

    I think I didn't make myself understood... Actually, the file did NOT have a default program. So I CANNOT choose the original program because it has never existed (basically)...

      In fact, .cbz files must be converted to rar files without any default programs.

    Good evening,

    right-click on it, properties, previous versions tab.

    There you go.

      Yes, but the file has not been modified, only the choice of software to open it.

      So there's nothing to be done?

    Actually, it does affect the program if it's a .cbz file, unfortunately.
    And choosing the program through the properties doesn't really change from selecting a program by right-clicking on the file...

    Can't we choose to restore the file with the white paper icon with a small folded corner at the top left?

    Good evening :)

    Click once on your file, in the Windows Explorer menu click on the small arrow to the right of "Open with ...". Select "Choose another app" and there you go ;)

    Hope this helps you!
