All programs are now trying to open with WORD.

Model HP laptop G56. Windows 7-64 bit. After inadvertently pressing the WORD by trying to open the Cubase 5 music program (after asking what program I want to open Cubase with) all the program on the desktop icons now appear as the letter W and the computer tries to not open in WORD now, which is impossible so no open programs. How I can fix this and restore the situation so that each program, i.e., Cubase, Excel and all the rest opens just in its own right? I tried to remedy this by the OPEN WITH menu, but it shows just a few programs and no way to repair my error.

Hello:

If it has not been produced for a long time, I just use the system restore utility and choose a restore point for awhile before you tried to open the program with Word.

If you are not familiar with this utility, please read the link below on how to use it.

  • All my shortcuts on the desktop and start menu - all programs are showing up with blank windows pages icon.

    Original title: broken shortcut

    ALL my shortcuts on the desktop and start menu - all programs are showing up with blank windows pages icon and the name of the file and .lnk I uninstalled something and it happened that I tried system recovery and everything else that I uninstalled the States are back but this how can I solve this?

    Hello

    1. what changes have been made to your computer before the problem?

    Follow these steps and check if they help.

    Step 1:

    I would say you rebuild the icon cache and check if the problem persists.

    a. press the keyboard Windows logo key combination + R to bring up the Run dialog box.
    b. type cmd and press ENTER to open the command prompt window.
    c. in the command prompt window, type the following commands pressing ENTER after each line:
    Taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
    attrib-h "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\IconCache.db.
    del "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\IconCache.db.
    Explorer.exe

    d. this restart Windows Explorer and rebuild the cache icons as needed.

    Step 2:

    Test the issue in a new user account.

  • all programs are needed to start?

    all programs are needed to start?

    Apparently not.

    I have zero startup items and my system works fine.  That may not work for everyone, but it's the way I like to run - lean and mean hoping for infections of malware if I can keep on my toes on the way to correct
    I don't know that anyone could tell you what startup programs, you need or those who you don't need without more information on the issue, trying to solve... or are - this just curiosity.
    Where do you see these startup items, that you remember to turn off and what are they?
    If you want to help looking at your startup items, I would like to start here:
    Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.
    Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.
    Provide information on your system, the better you can:
    What is your system brand and model?
    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?
    What is your Internet browser and version?
    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..
    Next:
    I would like to use CCleaner to watch all your startup items and you might be able to identify and disable the (this may take a few passes) or if you look at the list of startup items and do not know what to do, you can publish a list of your startup items and someone can help you to look at.
    Here's how:
    Download CCleaner here:
    CCleaner allows you to manage most of the startup items and also do some other operations oriented cleaning.  Some people will you recommend is not to use the registry functions in CCleaner to avoid these features for now.  I have no problem with it for me, but sometimes it's a contentious issue, I prefer to avoid as much as possible
    !
    You can uninstall CCleaner later if you don't like it.
    You can disable the startup items, see how things look and if you want to - delete totally useless, or just startup items leave the disabled while you continue troubleshooting.  Note that disabling things does not uninstall anything, and if there is a problem, you can simply re-enable the point.  If you're sure you don't want at all, then you can delete it.
    After launch of CCleaner and see what startup items you can disable/remove, if you are still not sure of your startup items, follow these steps:
    Run CCleaner and choose Tools, boot and bottom right, click on the button "Save to text file" to save the startup information in a text file on your desktop with a name you remember - something like startup.txt
    Save the boot information text file on your desktop (or somewhere you can find it) open the text file with an editor (Notepad or WordPad), select all (Ctrl-A), copy text, all the text selected in the Windows Clipboard (Ctrl-C) and then paste (Ctrl + V) the contents of the startup list to come back here in your next reply and maybe someone can tell you other things to consider.
    A more revealing startup Analyzer is Autoruns which will allow the manipulation of all sectors of boot and does not actually install anything:
    I have zero startup items on my computer and my startup list is empty, so none of this is important to me!
  • When you click on shortcuts or program files, it goes to 'Open with' & makes you choose a program to open with. (none open)

    Original title: Standyby.exe - bad Image message 19/08/12

    Hello world

    I get a Standyby.exe - bad picture message arise. Several programs are now no longer works as iTines, Photshop and MS Word. In the message window begins C:\Windows\assembly\NativeImages_v2.0.50727... I have run several anti virus and malware programs normally and in safe mode, try the system restore, run registry cleaner programs and even took the computer to my local computer guy. All of this is without effect. Given the nature of the message and the type of programs not responding, it seems that I have a missing or corrupt file regarding execution of the images, but I don't know. Can anyone help. I'm pretty close to the stage where I could reinstall Windows, but I only want to do this as a last resort, given the amount of programming that I have to re - install. Oh - the system I'm using is Windows7 home premium, 32-Bit, RAM decent, proccessor and HD etc.
