File association

[jloeff]

Does anyone know how to remove Solidworks association with file types of .prt?

Please help

I have Windows 2000 and all you have to do is right click on the file, click properties, and then change the "opens with" dialog. Hopw that helps.

Didn't know they had a .prt extension, thought it was .sldprt

Anyway, you can right-click a file in Explorer, and chose Properties. Next click the Change button and associate it with something else...

Remove it I don't know without trying something.

One other method to access the "Opens with" association:

1.) Select the icon for the file.
2.) [Shift] + right-click the icon
3.) Select "Open with..." and browse for a new application. There is also a checkbox to make that application the new default.

This method will work if the normal method posted by Creigbm does not.

All this machinery making modern music can still be open-hearted.

SW used to use *.prt as their file extension many moons ago. Then they switched to the standard you see today *.sldprt. A .prt file can also a Pro-E file. The way you change the file type is listed above.

The way I change the file types are below:

1) Windows Explorer
2) Tools\Folder Options
3) Click on File Types tab
4) Scroll down to the type (*.prt)
5) Click on "Change"
6) Find the program I want to use
7) Click OK
8) Click OK again

and I'm done.

Next time I open that file type it should remember my setting.

.prt files have been used by Unigraphics long before Pro/E existed.
