What is File Association?

A file association associates a file with an application which is capable of opening that file.

In general terms, a file association associates(link) is usually determined by their file name extension, such as .txt with a corresponding application (such as a text editor).

A single file extension may have several associations for performing various actions.


Some of them are:-

OPEN - Opens the picture in an image viewer.
EDIT - Opens up an image editing program.
