Accidentally changed default zip
Once a week, I download a zip file which has files mp3 and pdf inside (about 8 of each). Last week when downloading, my computer asked if I would make Guitar Pro 6 the program default for opening these files (this program was open at the time)... I was distracted and accidentally clicked on Yes... Ouch. Now, when I try to open the files zip, Guitar Pro 6 trys to open the zip file and I get an error message. I tried to browse and select the appropriate program to perform this action, but the choice I am presented do not seem to like the good. I like Adobe, Guitar Pro and IE8 as a choice and I chose IE8 with disastrous results. IE8 a few trys repeatedly to open the zip file with a loop effect. Now that I try to system restore and my computer tells me that the restore was not successful. Help! I just need to know how to correct the default action for the opening of the downloaded zip files.

We have WindowsXP. now the old documents are not available for us, but I 'see' them when I do a search - we are not allowed to open. I tried to cancel this mess, but were unsuccessful.
Hi 123ultramom,
1. is the administrator turned into limited user account?
2. how many accounts do you have on the computer?
3. What is the error message when you try to access files and folders?

Don't know if I've accidentally changed something or not in my profile, I just want to know how to fix it
I'm sorry but you did not just provide more information other than say in effect "it's broken". I can't possibly guess what is happening with your computer based on what you wrote. Probably the best course of action would be for you to take it to a qualified computer technician (it won't be a type BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place). Otherwise:
The first Question of troubleshooting: If the problem is new, what has changed between the time things worked and the time they do not have?
The second issue of Windows troubleshooting: what is the status of virus/malware of the machine? If you think it's clean, what programs (and versions) allows you to determine this?
Make sure that the computer is clean:

I accidentally changed a *.vi labview library file. How can I fix my system?
Dear Sir:
I work with Labview version 8.5. works on Windows Vista o/s.
I accidentally changed a *.vi Labview library file and now some programs which in the past has executed correctly, no more to run correctly.
I have modified the library is named lvsound.llb and the file I changed, "SO Write.vi".
I made two changes, however, the first amendment has been removed.
That's what happened. I modified the file SO Write.vi by chance, somehow, a link has been broken.
I thought I could repair the file copy of a file to write identical SO that I had stored on another computer. What I've done I copied the work SO Write.vi content block diagram (which was stored on a disk that is external and not stored in the 'sound' of Labview installation folder) and then I opened the SO Write.vi in the lvsound.llb (this is the *.llb of Labview installed) and deleted everything in the block and then diagram I replaced the block diagram with the copied block diagram. I thought that that would solve my problems because the copied program did not have a cut connection - no broken arrow icon). However, I soon discovered that programs that completed successfully before the accident, still not function properly after swapping content block diagram.
I have attached a picture of the error message.
Can someone tell me please the safest way to fix my system?
Don't exchange the content of block diagram, or if you do so, as it was put in place the same connector pane. When you have removed all the controls and indicators, the connector pane has been authorized which explains why things that call this Subvi will not see that it has no control. To fix it, you need match this component of the connector:
To set up, click an empty area of the connector pane, and then click the command corresponding or indicator. For example, down to the left of your new connector pane, click on the bottom left box, and then click 'error (no errors)' control for screws outside pass an error via the connector pane. To see where everything is connected, I would recommend that you go to a computer with a working version and one by one, click on the terminal part of the connector and the corresponding command will highlight:
for example, clicking on the top left corner will highlight control "ID of the task in.
Another option you have is to simply copy the .vi itself (file, block diagram not only) of library work, delete or rename the current "SO Write.vi" and simply drag the file .vi from the Explorer on the LLB Manager.

Cannot change default programs as an administrator
I opened the JPEG files for the past 6 months with a program called FSViewer, but yesterday when I did it, the file is opened with a Windows program that is basically useless. I tried to reset the default value, but the program, FSviewer will not appear in the list once I selected it, I tried also in Control Panel by using the Folder Options. Does not allow me to change it. If I log in as a guest or with another account, no problem, I can change the default program, but it only works in other accounts and not as my main account, which is also administrator of the computer. I also tried to change another account limited to the administrator of the computer, and it allows me to change the default settings of the program without problem. If I change my main account to limited, it still does not change the default program. I guess I could remove the primary account/computer Manager, and start again, but I'd rather not. I am able to download and install programs, but not able to change the default programs.
How can I get my main account to change default programs?

Shortcut icons and desktop Windows 7 file to change default

Cannot change default program windows 7 64 bit
I have a user who is running windows 7 64 bit which cannot change default programs. This only happens on the computer if it is connect. So I think it has something to do with his profile. I noticed that when I go in the Panel and click default programs on associated with a file type I can choose the new program, but it will not save.
We just migrated to a new domain and transferred all the user profiles with the Microsoft migration tool.

To change default Internet connection sharing IP address range and subnet mask
Hello
When the ICS (ICS) is enabled on a NETWORK adapter that is connected to the direct Internet line, the second NETWORK card automatically gets the 192.168.137.1 IP address and subnet mask 255.255.255.0. As the first IP address in the address range is located on the second NIC in the computer, the other client computers receive the other IPs in the same range, for example 192.168.137.2, 192.168.137.3 and so on.
In my case, I already have the static IP network using Network 10.0.0.0/8, I want to change default IP of 192.168.137.1/24 to 10.0.0.1/8. I managed to change the IP in Regedit - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAcces - parameters - ScopeAddress / StandaloneDHCPAddress
that works, but default IP 10.0.0.1 has the subnet mask 255.255.255.0, how to change the subnet mask of 255.0.0.0.
Help, please...
