The .PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a raster-graphics file format that supports lossless data compression as well as transparency. The Windows 8.1 operating system will open .PNG files in the Windows Photo Viewer by default. You can set the Microsoft Paint software as the default program to open .PNG files so that it will only take double-click to open them. In this way, it is faster to open .PNG files and edit them right away. You can always change back the default software to open .PNG files or choose another photo editor as the default program in processing them.
Here are the steps to set Windows 8.1 operating system to open .PNG files in Microsoft Paint.
1. Right-click on the START button that is usually located at the bottom left corner of the screen and choose CONTROL PANEL option.
2. Click the PROGRAMS link.
3. Click the MAKE A FILE TYPE ALWAYS OPEN IN A SPECIFIC PROGRAM link.
4. Scroll down the list of file types by using the scroller on the right edge of the Set Associations window until you find the .png file format.
5. Click the .png extension name to highlight it.
6. Click the CHANGE PROGRAM... button.
7. Scroll down the list of programs until you find the Paint.
8. Click on the PAINT icon on the list to choose it.
9. Click the CLOSE button.
