That's an OS file-type association issue, not a Lightroom problem. If you're running Windows, right-click on one of your DNG files, then go into Properties (not "Open With"), and change the program you want to open with there. That makes it global.

You're on a mac? Try selecting the DNG in the finder, and "get info" (either AppleKey+i or select Get Info under the File menu). Then you will see in the get info window, a section labeled "open with...". If the arrow is pointing right, click it and select Photoshop from the drop down menu. Then click the "change all..." button under the words "use this application to open all documents of this type."

 

Good luck

thanks... actually I was about to go into properties but I first opened up another DNG file and the pop-up said chose a program to open and then there was a command that said to "click here if you want the PC to always open up DNGs in this way... I obviou:) sly clicked it and no further problems...
