Hello

I just reinstall W10 Pro and all ini files shown as WordPad. How can I shown them as ini again? Google did not help much, 

Thanks 

Right click on one of the files, select properties;   In the General tab, which is the first to show click on change and pick the .exe of the app that you want to open the file.

BTW, if the app isn't on the list click on the 'More apps' link at the bottom of the list.  If it still isn't in that list, then click on the 'Look for another app on this PC' link.

 

 

Unless I misunderstand you, the ini file is still an ini file. It opens with Wordpad. You can change it to open with Notepad in Settings/Apps/Default apps/Choose default apps by file type.

Just to confirm. What am I doing renaming it to .exe? This is ini file. 

Yes, exe is not on the app list. If I select Look for another App on this PC it opens a window with other folders. What do I need to do then? Just tine .exe in the File name window?

Thanks

Yes, I figured that files still works as they supposed to but it is a bit misleading for me. I would like to see ini files as ini in my folders not liek WordPad.

Thanks 

1) Right-click on ini file

2) Select "Open With"

3) Select "Choose Another app"

4) Select notepad and "Always use this app to open .ini files.

By .exe I meant 'of' the app you want to open the .ini file, but only if the program isn't on the list. 

I use Notepad++ and it wasn't on the list, so I had to find it and click on 'notepad++.exe' to make it the app to open .ini files.

If you use Windows Notepad, then you won't need to do that since it will be in the list.

Ol thanks.

I prefer Notepad++ too, both at home and work 🙂
You can use "settings" -> "Prferences" and set the desired file extenstion to open as default. Sometimes that method doesn't work though. 🙂

Looks like I may need to get it too.
