All icons open with application of Google chrome

Original title: program compatibility Application Applications App Apps game games Legacy Crash crashes Hang hangs

All my icons try to open with Google Chrome rather than the programs they are compatible with.  How can I fix it?

Hi Patty,.

Welcome to the Microsoft community. According to the description of all the icons open with application of Google Chrome.

I'll help you with this problem. It could be a problem with file associations. I suggest you follow the steps in the article.

Change the programs that Windows uses by default

When you run an .exe on a Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 computer file, the file can start another program

I hope this helps. Let us know if you need help with Windows related issues. We will be happy to help you.

  • Cannot get new url of the tab open with the homepage (Google).

    After the upgrade, I cannot get rid of 12 boxes (Facebook, Youtube, etc.) on the new tab or make open with my homepage (Google). I tried two different newtaburl add-on, uninstall and reinstall Firefox and the directives of the object: subject: config, browser.newtab.url, etc. I can't even scratch try this approach. I can't get the 12 bar blues.

    Well, I know I'm repeating something you've read before, but just for completeness (and also, I suspect this isn't built-in Firefox page):

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste newtab and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference browser.newtab.url and enter your favorite page:

    • (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
    • Blank tab = > subject: empty
    • Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
    • Any other page = > full URL of the page

    Press Ctrl + t to open a new tab and check that it worked. Fixed?

    Some traps:

    If Firefox will not let you change this setting: you can have what is called SearchProtect on your system.

    Firefox if allows you to save your changes, but he doesn't know: one of your extensions may be the substitution of her. You can consult, disable and/or remove extensions on page modules. Either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click on Extensions

    If the modification works during your session, but during the next startup is return to the unwanted page: you could have a user.js file in your personal settings Firefox (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and delete the file: How to fix preferences that will not save.

    A little luck?

  • Cannot open hyperlinks after uninstalling Google Chrome

    Please don't refer me to the previous post on this topic, I think I tried them all.

    After uninstalling Google Chrome, hyperlinks in MS Outlook will be notwork.  I tried most of the things recommended in the old forum posts, but they all seem to be prior to Windows 7.  Nothing worked and I'm looking forward to a solution.  HTML file associations, etc are all in IE9, Chrome has been uninstalled, edited registry (even though I'm not an expert there) IE9 release candidate has been downloaded and installed.  I must respond to a window asking whenever I click on a hyperlink asking how to open the file so I have to manually associate with IE.   I am running:

    Windows 7 Ultimate (x 64) Service Pack 1 (build 7601)

    Internet Explorer Version 9.00.8080.16413
    Microsoft Outlook Version 14.0.4760.1000.

    I'd appreciate any help.

    I'm not familiar with the problem of Chrome.

    These are all the patches file association that I have seen used before [Please note that control panel, default programs option seems to be more effective than the Open with dialog - but keep in mind that I'll just on what I learned from other threads that I have not had this problem myself].  You have already tried many of them, but I included all because I'm not sure you checked & that you do not.

  • All files opening with the same program?

    Earlier today, I went to open a .zip with WinRar file. I've done this before and nothing is wrong, but this time, I noticed that all my desktop icons have changed and each of them were by opening with WinRar. It is especially annoying because I managed to download a Spanish version of WinRar somehow and do not include any of the popups.
    I saw others asking the same thing and answers telling to go in Control Panel > programs > default programs > Set Program Access and computer by default, but I can't get there, because I don't know what program I open with.
    I don't know if this has any sense at all and I feel stupid for not knowing all this, but some help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    Most likely, you have associated shortcuts (.lnk files) with WinRAR.  Although it is also possible that you have associated executables (.exe files) too (or instead).  Fortunately, both can be fixed.

    Here on this page is a list of all common file types.
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/19449-default-file-type-associations-restore.html

    Scroll down and look for LNK files, click on him and it will download a file from the registry.  Save this file to your desktop and run it to import the registry changes.  Restart when it's done and I hope that it will be all solved.

  • Why my optimum voice mail is not operable using Firefox? OK with IE and Google Chrome.

    Whenever recently, lately, using Firefox to open my homepage of optimum.net my voicemail is "not available at this time." It of OK for a few years and is still OK if I use Internet Explorer of Google Chrome, Firefox only gives the problem. Looks like I'll have to give up Firefox, unless it is resolved. I tried "Refresh Firefox' nothing works. My OS is Windows 7 premium.

    Thanks for the reply. It has been supported Optimum who suggested to use another browser. However, I'm gone differently in voice via the Optimum homepage and manually reaches Optimum voicemail, close and back on to my homepage Optimum access to voicemail had returned. I don't know why he did it, obviously the Optimum support guy was incorrect.
