Mine said MyHeritage Family Tree Builder. I went in and modified my file extension preferences in Windows by going to Start>Control Panel>Folder Options>File Types tab and scroll down to the GED file extension. GED file is identified with FTB in my file preferences. I haven't used FTB for months.but somehow a. It happened to me yesterday! Somehow, and I didn't know why, I clicked on a link to open a downloaded GEDCOM from, and it opened in Family Tree Builder. If I try while having the proper software, will it automatically download through that? I imagine not, but I have no idea how to fix it.' I know better now, but my problem is that that first time, when I tried to open it with some program already on my computer, I accidentally clicked 'Do this for files like this from now on.' How do I undo that? I haven't been able to figure it out, but I also haven't tried to export a GEDCOM since, because I've assumed it wouldn't work. Some time ago, when I first tried to export a GEDCOM, I didn't realize you needed specialized software to open it. For instance, the Rootsweb WorldConnect family tree system permits GEDCOM downloads if the database owner allows it. However, the other two comments below apply to any GEDCOM file downloaded from a website, or attached as an email. That's correct - I should have mentioned it! Thanks!

If someone gives you access, even as an editor, only the owner can download it!' to download a family tree from online family trees, you must be the owner of that tree. one important thing that wasn't mentioned.

I had several good comments and an email from my post of Exporting a Family Tree from.
