Hello everybody, My desktop runs Windows 10 Pro, build 1803. I schedule
regularly an application that creates log files; I chose to name them
xxx.log.
The default application to read log files is Bloc-Notes (I have a french
Windows, the english version may name Bloc-notes differently). If I am
not mistaken, the underlying programme is notepad.exe (but this is
irrelevant to my problem). Bloc-notes seems to have problems
understanding carriage-return/new-line and the log file is shown on the
screen as a very long string of characters. WordPad.exe on the other
hand shows the file contents as a line per log entry.
Both right-click-"open with" or right-click-properties give you the
choice of opening the file with Bloc-notes or WordPad; WordPad is my
preferred "open with" application. However there is no way of
associating WordPad with .log files. Even though I choose WordPad as the
preferred application, Bloc-notes comes back the next time I open the file.
Even the list of file extensions and associated applications in the
Windows-Parameters menu matches .log files to Bloc-notes and refuses to
accept WordPad as the preferred application.
You are saying there is no "Remember" checkbox in the dialog to pick
which program to open a .log file? Don't pick a recently used entry in
the cascaded content menu. Opt to choose another app/program to open
the file. Choose to browse to the app. The recent list is shown, a
browse dialog to let you navigate to a different executable file, along
with an option to remember your choice. See:

I don't know Bloc-notes. There are some programs that are rude and will
steal back the filetype associations. Creative Labs did this a long
time ago and it ****ed off their customers, so they stopped. I've run
into other programs that when loaded will re-associate themself as the
filetype handler. WITHOUT using Bloc-notes, right-click on a .log file,
pick Notepad or Wordpad, opt to remember your choice. Close Notepad or
Wordpad and double-click on a .log file again. Did it open in Notepad
or Wordpad (which you used previously and opted to remember your
choice)? If so, Windows is remembering your choice. Load Bloc-notes,
use its file browser to open a .log file, and exit Bloc-notes.
Double-click the .log file. See in which app the file opens. If it
opens in Bloc-notes instead of the previously remembered choice of
Notepad or Wordpad then Bloc-notes is being rude in stealing back the
filetype association to itself.
