re-assigning the .max format to 3d studio max

[Anonymous]

Hey, 

I'm trying to re assign the .max format to 3d studio max, as they're currently assigned to photoshop for some reason..

When going into the set default programs and such

I can select the .max format and then browse to the max exe. file in the program folder, but that .exe file looks "blanc" and windows shows i selected it but when clicking "ok" nothing happens...

Am i selecting the right exe file here?

This is my 3DSMaxDesign program file location: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max Design 2014\3dsmax.exe (10,817kb)

yes, that one doesn't work.

Try the brute force technique, but back up your registry first... just in case:
