• Cannot open any programs, I think that somehow the files have been changed to .lnk files

  Original title: I'm unable to open programs in my Start Menu.

  When I click on an item in the beginning, all programs selection and click it, instead of opening, I get the name of the program, for example Microsoft Works... LNK and that's all I get the program never opens.  I think somehow that the files have been changed to .lnk files but do not know how it happened

  This happened for several months and I'm sure that there is an easy solution to return to what it was but don't know what.  I tried the system restore, but that did nothing and don't know what to do next.  Any ideas?  Thank you... betseyd112

• virus jumble all my file associations and will not let me reset them... upgrading to windows 7 will overwrite everything on my comp. including viruses?

  The virus is a popup window that said it was a windows xp security 2011.  I tried to end it in task several times Manager, then did a system restore.  After I did a system restore all my file associations were all mixed upward and every sense, I try to change the associations, it won't let me.  It doesn't let me even open system restore or something like that.

  My question is if I install the full version of windows 7 (at the moment I have windows xp) to my computer it also will erase everything on my computer, including virus?  Thanks for any help I can get!

  something special I have to do that if it is a laptop?

  I have a dell xps m140

  I expect BugBatter to answer here... but since it's been several hours and it didn't:

  before considering a change/upgrade of the operating system, you can check if you can solve the problem by following the directions/procedure listed here: http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=82696

  before you say it cannot be done, take note of doing things exactly as specified... in particular, I would like to highlight the following points of special 3 which are:

  (1) If you are unable to download MBAM directly on the infected computer, you should download on another computer and then transfer it (via key) to the infected machine.

  (2) given that .exe files does not work on your computer, you will need to Rename the mbam-setup installation file . exe:

  mbam-setup. com:

  (3) Similarly, after installation of the MMFA, you will need to Rename it to mbam. exe for mbam. com in order to run it.

  Keeping these 3 points in mind, go back and follow, step by step, the procedure in the above link.

  NOTE: If Bugbatter here meets the time wherever you are reading this, then please follow all what she said which differs from my suggestion.

• Select / download all the files associated with a model?

  Is there an easy way to select all the files that are associated with a particular model? It's fine that DW allows me to update all the files locally, but I am really surprised that there is no way (that I found) to select all the files that are associated with a model. In my case, I have a .html about 50 files stored in a folder and only 20 of them associated with a specific model. When I change the template (and therefor all files associated), I currently have to choose through my list of 50 files for 20 files I want to download. I was wondering if there is an easier way to do this in DW?
  
  Thank you all. :)

  Right-click on your root folder and select 'synchronize' DW will search
  through all your files the remote, and then download one that have been
  has changed.

  It will first give you a dialog box to all files that it believes need download
  and you can check whether you want to or not. You can also check the "Delete".
  all the files not on the local site box"to clean the remote site if you
  remove anything locally.

• When I download compressed files, they go to the local > temp location, when I extracted all the files, they are sent to the My Documents folder. Can I go to the local > temp location and delete the zip file?

  When I download compressed files, they go to the local level > temp location, when I extracted all the files, they are sent to the My Documents folder. Can I go to local > temp location and delete the zip file? Knowing that I still have the data in the My Documents folder.

  Once they are checked, of course. If you want to keep a backup, you can move the zip file in your documents folder.

  In fact, you can delete everything in the temporary folder that is not currently in use. Best time to do this removal is immediately after the start, before launching other applications.

• My computer crashed two weeks ago and all software had reinstalled in another HD. The first hard drive still has all the files and are readable. Where can I find the old catalog fall back all my work?

  My computer crashed two weeks ago and all software had reinstalled in another HD. The first hard drive still has all the files and are readable. Where can I find the old catalog fall back all my work?

  My lightroom was great before the crash to work and I have a lot of work still pending.

  You will need the catalog file and all your images. If you have also stored your images on which crashed HDD you will need to copy them as well.

  The default location of the LR catalog file is in your user name folder in the folder on the ROOT of the drive users

• Adobe CS6 file associations are all stripped

  Used much CS6 association extensions open files;

  After installing CS6 of previous extensions .prproj .ai .psd, I found broken and Windows 7 (64 bit) asked what program to open it with.

  He would not give me the option of choosing what is obvious. So, I selected control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Set Associations and select Photoshop cs6 .exe and it would not assign it.

  Even with several other files.

  Even files I did fresh photoshop CS6 (64) he used to select or provide the opportunity to open with the program, with what he did. I must first of all, open the program and select the file inside the program.

  Now Adobe Bridge CS6 shows all files with a Visual preview, but when I select the file says "windows cannot find 'C:\program file\adobe\adobe cs5 (64 bit) \photoshop.exe' make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."

  I somehow loosen the old extensions because cs5 is gone, but I can't seem to change the associations until some ghost of the residual cs5 registry still lives in my machine.

  I googled the problem and many people have this problem but no real miracle seem apparent or they are incredibly draconian as wipe the disk and reinstall windows.

  I see it already happened with some other updates on the forums that is cs4 cs5 years back.

  It's my upgrade in 6th and I gave adobe the thousands and thousands of dollars, and why is this problem not get sent when another summer to complain about years and still not a viable solution is given.

  This is a Registry fix for Win7 machines for the file association problem.

  This from TinusHDCA user:

  I installed Photoshop CS6, then found CS5 was always there. I thought, Hey, I don't have CS5, so I uninstalled CS5. then I discovered that Photoshop was no longer available in "Open with", when right clicking on an image...

  I went into the registry, HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Photoshop.exe\shell\open\command, and changed (by default) of "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit) \Photoshop.exe" '%1' to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit) \Photoshop.exe" '%1' (so changed CS5 to CS6) - and now I see "Adobe Photoshop CS6" in my list 'Open with' when right-clicking on an image...

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  .lnk are shortcut files (shortcuts are usually what you have on your desktop and the start menu).  If inadvertently, you tried to right click on a shortcut and choose "open with...". ", you can breaking their properties.

  Because the associations are complex and the registry can be dangerous, the best way to solve your problem is to use the system restore to fix system associations when returning parameters at the same time that they last worked properly.  Here's how:

  1 - Hold down the Windows key and type R to open the Run dialog box.

  2 - paste in this command: %systemroot%\system32\rstrui.exe

  3 - follow the instructions to restore your system at a time before, it was working fine.

  If it was useful, you can vote by clicking on the green triangle. If it solves the problem, click on propose as answer. Thank you!

• cancel the file association for the extension .lnk to original setting

  all the hits (shortcuts) now have the extension .lnk wasw here before I have had a crash.

  If you want to attach the file to the original associations, look here:

• Created a new catalog in Lightroom 3 and all my files/folders are "gone".

  Of course, I'm pretty new with Lightroom, but I am quite at a loss to explain what happened.  I wanted to create a new catalog to move files in.  I went to file > new catalog, and then "create a folder with the new catalog" dialog box, I typed in my new name and press "Save".  Boom.  Lightroom closed right.  When I opened upward, all my folders and catologs disappeared.  Nothing is displayed in the navigation section of the left side, other than securities, "Catalogs", "Files", "Collections", etc and they are empty.  In 'My Computer' all the files are still there with the DNG files in place, but LR will not show them to me.  Can someone please explain to me why I can access is no longer my catalogs?  I hope it is something simple that I just keep overlooking...

  If Lightroom shuts down accidentally (computer crash, Lightroom crash, power failure) a .lock file is usually left. There are good reasons why the database creates this locking file, which I won't get in, but basically impossible to open your file catalog again until the .lock file is deleted from the hard drive.

  Recommended... some people write metadata in files, others do not. It certainly isn't a necessary step. I think that the main advantage to do this, if you want to share photos with other users of Adobe products that can read the changes (LR, PS, bridge or PSE); or if you want to share other metadata (keywrods, legends, location, etc.) in the file with other people or other applications that can read these other metadata. There is therefore, no recommended way to go, there is only the way that fits your needs. The main tool to protect you against the loss of data is the Catalog backup, as there are a few things in the catalog that are never written in the metadata.

  If you want to use as your first photographic application, Lightroom I advice to look at some of the many videos on Lightroom that are available online. I would also advise against Scott Kelby and Matt Kloskowski, as (according to me), their opinion is often off of the brand or simply bad advice.

• Why all my file extensions have changed ink?

  My computer is almost locked, as all my file extensions have mysteriously changed in INK. I can't do a system restore yet. It's already happened, and I don't remember how I overcame it. Is this a virus? I'm stuck. SOS

• How to save all the files associated with a Web site?

  I'm an administrator (but not the creator) of a Web site that I am responsible for the update. I don't have the documentation that I need to do some of my tasks. So I thought that I could find enough simply to save the site from Firefox.
  The last time that I have this (several versions of Firefox there is), there is a command "save under" which would save the main HTML file in your selected folder AND save all the subsidiary referenced files in a single subfolder, so built a local version of the site.
  When I tried this today in v20.0.1, the two options "Save As" only created a single file of the current page with all the original references links on the left.
  Is there another way to 'dumping' of the entire application on my hard drive?

  I initially save as "Web Page, complete"? , but the hrefs all mentioned on the real web site, not to any local versions.

  I also tried the Scrapbook addon. It does not seem to do what I want, but I can't find where it stored all the files. I'll be back with the author of the album.

  PS. Why can't I find setting controls in shape when you enter a question?

• On my desk, all file associations have changed & all extensions have become ".lnk" instead of ".exe". So I can't run any program without going through 'my computer '.

  When the problem persisted for 3-4 days, I thought to check the properties of the file "", & that's when I learned that even though she describes the file type as 'application', she has a ".lnk" extension I deleted the shortcut & set it to new, but who has not resolve it. I ran "anti-virus", & he found.
  Whenever I click any shortcut on the desktop, it asks me what program should be used to open it. Yesterday, I clicked on 'Internet Explorer' & changed the option "open with...". "for IE. By mistake, I uncheck the box 'always apply for this type of files', at the bottom of this window. So now, each item on the desk trying to open with IE.
  All I want to do is retrieve these files & extensions associations. How can this be achieved? Any help? Apart from this, the laptop works well as before.

  Thanks in advance.
  Mitch.

  Hello

  . LNK files are shortcuts

  Have you done something that their renamed? By the program files you mean DATA or the actual programs
  What should you run? Data files can be renamed to the correct extensions.
