1. Re: How do I change the "Open In" default from "Photoshop" to "Photoshop CC" in Bridge CC?

Hope this works for you.

***I BELIEVE I HAVE FOUND THE ROOT CAUSE AND SOLUTION***
After looking at a new user's registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER and comparing it to the one on the original user, I found a registry value which was not changed, and should have been.
I found a key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Applications\Photoshop.exe\shell\op en\command
This key was set to the path for Photoshop CS6 when it should have been set to Photoshop CC.
In other words, in my case, it was set to:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" "%1"
When I changed the CS6 to a CC, in other words, so the whole key reads:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" "%1"
Everything now works perfectly.

Noel Carboni Oct 23, 2013 9:48 AM (in response to tomhug1)2 people found this helpfulYou may just be able to go into the Bridge preferences and reconfigure it... This is from memory only: In Bridge, choose Edit/Bridge - Preferences - File Associations, and scroll down to the file type you're trying to open (e.g., .PSD), and configure it to use the latest version of Photoshop. I think there's something like a [Reset All Associations] button in there somewhere too.

3. Re: How do I change the "Open In" default from "Photoshop" to "Photoshop CC" in Bridge CC?
Rabbitrun Feb 21, 2014 1:08 PM (in response to Curt Y)I tried this but it didn't help. I am running Windows 7 pro. I have uninstalled CS5,reconfigured CC Bridge file associations, uninstalled CC PS 5, reinsalled it. In between I ran Norton's registry cleaner and CC cleaner, all to no avail. I still, after uninstalled CS5 and CCPS6, still have a folder for CS5 in my program files. I looked in CC PS and found configurations. There lies the little icon that should show up when I go to "open with". Clicking on that I get this message "
C\Program files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC {64bit}\Configuration\PS_exman_24px.png The specified path does not exist " which seems to indicate that something is missing. I cannot get rid of CS5 folder and cannot get PS CC to show in the "open with" dialog. I cannot get it to show in default programs either.
Any other ideas greatly appreciated.

Curt Y Feb 21, 2014 1:39 PM (in response to Rabbitrun)I have never used this solution, but many others have and said it works. Your files do not seem to be the same as fix in post #1. You have to start with the OS registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Applications\Photoshop.exe\shell\op en\command.

Rabbitrun Feb 21, 2014 7:01 PM (in response to Curt Y)Thanks Curt. I checked and that is set correctly in that it reads C:\program files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (64bit) \Photoshop.exe" %1

Rabbitrun Feb 21, 2014 7:11 PM (in response to Rabbitrun)Oops forgot a set of quote marks. They are there but still not showing in default programs, or in file associations. for jpg or jpeg. It did fix the .psd problem. I need someone to look in program files Adobe cc photoshop 64 bit and find the file configuration. In that folder appears to be an icon for PS.If I click on it it comes back as an invalid path. Path is missing. I have on idea if that is the problem or they all say that. I spent two hours on chat with adobe with them using remote access but the adobe connect used so much memory it kept crashing programs so nothing got done. Not sure I want to go that route again. I have 8G ram so it should't be a problem but background programs use memory too. No idea but the only thing they accomplished was resetting my wallpaper with an image so large it made getting anything open almost impossible. Fixed that but haven't fixed the problem. I can have everything open with bridge and from there to PS CC but I shouldn't have to do that.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\Photoshop.exe

tmszewczuk Aug 7, 2015 9:08 AM (in response to norman.sanders)Associating Bridge .nef files to default open in Lightroom
We've done a clean upgrade to Windows 10 Pro and reinstalled Adobe CC subscription components. Following the "Edit Preferences" dialogue described previous, we defaulted Lightroom CC open .nef (Nikon) files using Lightroom instead of Photoshop. It does it but opens lightroom in the Import Photos/Videos dialogue, the image selected in BridgeCC is not the one displayed in Lightroom and you are immediately forced to exit Lightroom. Any clue is greatly appreciated.

postalgbv Sep 14, 2017 7:44 PM (in response to wredan)I tried the registry edit others have mentioned and this one finally made it work. I was having issues with Bridge CC 2017 trying to open photoshop related files with CS5 that I had uninstalled recently. After restarting Bridge, it now 'sees' Photoshop as being CC 2017.
