     Hi,

    I have Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2005 on my machine. And recently, I have installed Visual Studio interdev 6.0 on the same machine.

    After installing, each solution icon (VS 2008 & 2005 projects) changed like a interdev 6.0 icons and when I double click those icons its trying to open in interdev.

    How do I change this setting?

    Thanks

     Right click on the icon of solution file and choose > Open with > Choose Program > Select the Microsoft Visual studio and check the check box below which says " always use the selected program to open these kind of file

    NO. I don't think that could help.

    Because, If you select a Visual Studio 2005 soltuion and if I did like as you suggested, it will work for VS 2005 fine. But if you try to open VS 2008 / VS Intderdev soltuion by double clicking, those solution files also will try to open in VS 2005.

    Any other ideas?

    One file extension (like ".sln") can only have one default action (used for double click in Explorer).

    The only way to do what you want would be to create a helper program that looked inside the file, worked out which tool it was created with and then launched that tool. It is possible such a tool has already been written, if not I'm sure you would find others wanting to use it as well if you wrote it.
