Open Windows Explorer.
Navigate to a folder that contains a .dwg file.
Right-click on the file name.
Scroll down and highlight the words "Open With".  A flyout menu should appear with various programs listed (among them AutoCAD 2006 and 2010).
At the very bottom of the flyout click on "Choose Program".
At the "Open With" dialog box find and highlight AutoCAD 2010 then put a checkmark in the box where it says "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file".
Click on the OK button.
Test it.
Did it work?

Hi, I have AutoCAD 2006 on my pc. I have recently loaded 2010. When I go into my documents and open a drawing it opens in 2006 by default.
 
How do I get drawings to open in 2010 by default?
 
Thanks
