• Open CM26 doc page –> https://doc.e-llusion.org/computer/software/file-associations
• Open Set Associations –> Control Panel\Programs\Default Programs\Set Associations
• Look at table for different formats with which software have to be open
• When everything is done –> Export the configured Associations
