I mistakenly changed the default application for .sfk files to Photoshop. It’s not a major issue, but now all those files open with Photoshop instead of the intended program. Can I find a way to restore the original setting so the default runs another app? Thanks!

Access only what it directs. Launch the Windows Settings interface, enter "Default" in the search field, select the default app for the file format, pick the desired format and update it. Likely there’s an option to delete the link manually, though I’m unsure.

To make it "none" you may need to adjust the Windows registry editor, but this isn't advised for beginners. If you're using Windows 10, navigate to settings - apps - standard apps - set by file type and modify any file associations as needed. I don’t recall "none" being an available option, though it could exist. Hope this assists!

Unfortunately "none" isn't available—consider keeping it in Photoshop or trying the Windows Store, as only three premium apps support these files.

It's a bit too limiting. Regedit could be the only option.
