Soxy

Soxy is an intuitive software program that you can use to easily make associations between files and other installed applications. It contains just a few options that can be figured out even by rookies.

After a fast installation job that doesn't need special intervention on your behalf, you are welcomed by a normal window with a simple structure, representing Soxy's interface.

The tool loads the supported file formats in the main frame and shows the current programs they're associated with, along with the remaining compatible applications installed on your computer.

All you have to do is make a selection in just a couple of clicks, or set the tool to prompt you for a program each time you attempt to open the file. The changes are automatically applied.

Soxy also integrates an option that permits you to open any type of file from the computer. However, it must be supported by the application in order to change its association. This is Soxy's main disadvantage, since it falls short when it comes to the list of supported file types.

We haven't come across any stability issues in our tests, though, thanks to the fact that Soxy didn't hang or crash. It committed file format modifications rapidly while remaining light on CPU and RAM usage, so it didn't hamper system performance. It's very simple to use and quite practical, but it needs a lot of improvements.
