Can't open PS files from within DW

I'm getting a message that the executable PS file doesn't exist to open jpgs in PS by double clicking in the DW files panel. I do not want to resinstall either program. Is there an easy fix?

    You need to update to the correct .exe location...

    1. Go to Edit > Preferences > File Types/Editors
    2. Highlight .jpg .jpe .jpeg

    3. Click the + above Editors
    4. Browse to your current PS versions .exe file
    5. Hit Apply then Close

    Thanks, guys, will do. These stupid updates break my custom workspaces as well. So annoying.

    You can migrate workspaces from previous versions.  Or sync them to the cloud and import them from Preferences.

    Launch Photoshop separately from your computer's desktop icon.
