File association problem with 2017 tax return - technical advice needed

[cyndiwise]

I need to open the 2017 TurboTax return that I copied from my old computer to a newer computer, but I'm having a bit of trouble because the new computer incorrectly associated the saved .tax2017 file as an Adobe file. I think the incorrect file association happened because I had not yet installed TurboTax 2017 to the new computer before I tried to open the .tax2017 file. Now that I have installed TurboTax Home & Business 2017 onto the new computer, I can open the file - but even after saving the file my computer did not change the file association to TurboTax. I suppose it is a nit problem, but if anyone knows how to change the file association in Windows 10 I would appreciate the help. When I right-click on .tax2017 file and select "Open with..." from the menu, I can't seem to find TurboTax2017.exe.

Thanks!

The standard advice from TurboTax is to never rely on the file association. Always start the TurboTax program first, then open the file from within the program.
