[texworks] file association in Windows and MacOS X?

[Paul A Norman]

Dear Pablo,

If Windows has not got TeXworks associated with .tex files, generally in
most versions of Windows you can you can do something similar to the
following ... Open Windows File Explorer, and right clicking on a .tex file
choose "Open with" and follow the prompts and options that appear - first:
"Choose default programme".

You can also right click the file and choose Properties and set the same
form there as well under Opens With: and the button Change.
