Are you tired of being tied up while Windows looks for a way to open files?

Our Speed Up File Association can help you skip the fruitless searches and go straight to the “Open With” window you need.

Simply download and install Speed Up File Association and if you try to open a file type that your computer doesn’t automatically recognize you will be given the option of choosing the right application to use. The time and annoyance you'll save by using this easy to use and well tested product is well worth the tiny price!

Why does this happen and what does Speed Up File Association do?

When your computer doesn’t know what program to open a file type with, you will get a popup window with this message, “Windows cannot open this file.” It will ask you if it should use a Web service to search the Internet for a program to use. Here is an example of what can happen if you try to run GIMP, one of the web’s best free photo editing programs:

Use the Web service to find the appropriate program

While letting Windows look for a program to use may seem like the right choice to pick it really is a useless feature that only wastes your time and often doesn’t even find a solution.
