CS4+ Associate Movies & TV program to Adobe Bridge

Hi

I am running Windows 10 on desktop and I am trying to associate the Movies & TV app to Adobe Bridge in Photoshop in order that it will play Quicktime .mov files.

I have gone to Preferences / File Associations but under Quicktime (.mov) it doesn't show the Movies &TV program as an option.

In order to link the program I need to find it in in the Windows files but have been unable to find it.

Please can you tell me where the files are located so that I can link them ?

Thanks

Gareth

    For me on windows 10, if i set in windows explorer the default for MOV files as the Movies & TV app, then double clicking on a MOV file in bridge opens the Movies & TV app.

    The problem is the actual Movies & TV app is in the Windows Apps folder (C:\Program Files\WindowsApps) which has restricted access, so that makes it difficult to set the Movies & TV app in the bridge file associations preferences.

    I'm sorry, I couldn't find any relevant information about CS4+ Associate Movies & TV program to Adobe Bridge to relate to your query. However, it seems like you're having trouble associating the Movies & TV app with Adobe Bridge on Windows 10.

     

    You might try searching for the Movies & TV program in your Windows files by navigating to the Program Files or Program Files (x86) directory, depending on whether it's a 32-bit or 64-bit application.

     

    Alternatively, you could try reinstalling the Movies & TV app to see if it appears as an option in Adobe Bridge's file associations preferences.

    Perhaps the OP has an answer by now as the question was asked in 2017.!

    Thank you Jeff very much for your suggestion. I did already try making Movies & TV app as the default player for the .mov files . However, it didn’t work and in Bridge it only gave me 2 options in ’Preferences’ - either QuickTime ( which I have uninstalled) or WPL (Windows Media Player)  which doesn’t work. I then tried installing a new media player VideoLan to see if that worked but Bridge was unable to see it. So I then tried to find the Movies & TV app in the Windows folder but couldn’t find it and therefore was unable to set up the association.

    But thanks again for trying to help. Really appreciate it.
