All word files open in Notepad, even if I changed the default value of word.

All my word files are open in Notepad. I went to 'my computer', 'tools' and types of files and changed all the word files to open with word, but they always open with notepad. Any suggestions?

  • Finder keep it open the file even after I change the default folder

    I have the problem with the default folder in the finder.

    A few months ago, I changed the default folder from the finder to a specific folder. Now, I want to change to the new folder. I already go to finder > Preferences > General > new poster finder window and change the folder, but whenever I click on the finder on the dock for the first time, keep the change back to the old folder. What should I do with this?

    Thank you for the help

    HI there Alia80,

    Looks like you set your Finder preferences to open a specific folder when you open a new window, but it seems to keep coming back to what it was previously set to. I would first start safe mode and if some system-level caches can be erased, and a check disk and repair is done automatically:

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning

    Follow these steps to start in safe mode.

    1. Start or restart your Mac.
    2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
    3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.

    After the Apple logo appears, this may take longer than usual to reach the login screen or your office. This is because your Mac performs a check of directory of your drive to boot in safe mode.

    To leave safe mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.

    Once you log in safe mode, let him by making a normal restart and test the issue again.

    If it persists after this test this point in a new admin on your computerand user let me know what is happening there:

    OS X El Capitan: set up users on your Mac.

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  • Win 8 again to choose a browser, even after I put the default value, I have a screenshot

    On opening of browser, I wonder to set the default browser. After I do I get the message send me options I guess come from Msoft: continue using FFox, choose IExp, choose the program from the store.
    I have a page, if you need it.

    Keep up the good work, guys.

    Your list of details of the system shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time you start Firefox.

    The user.js file is present than if you or another software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be here.
    You can check its contents with a text editor (right click: open with) If you do not create this file yourself.

    The user.js file is read whenever Firefox is started and initializes the preferences to the specified value in this file, so the preferences set via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.

    Delete possible user.js and files numbered prefs-# .js and rename (or delete) the file prefs.js to reset all the prefs by default, including the prefs set via user.js and pref which is no longer supported in the current version of Firefox.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

  • How can I change the default value of the downloaded file to the protected mode

    Word and pdf appear in protection mode - how to change the default to allow the edition?

    Just to clarify:

    That means Firefox is Mark downloads as having created from the internet.

    To check if the applications open downloads of the internet in protected mode, you can change their options. For example, in Word, see:

  • Change the default value of the program when opening a file?

    Somehow, I changed something in my settings and everytime I try to open a file it will automatically try to open in microsoftword as default. It's a lot of time when I try to open a PDF file. Anyone know how to change my settings back so that when I double click the icon of the file it will open in the appropriate program?

    There are 2 ways to do this:

    1: right click on the file you want to open and point to open with, then click on choose program, click the program you want to open your file and put a checkmark in the box always use the selected program to open this type of file, click OK. Use the browse option to find your program if not who are listed there.

    2: go to: Control Panel, folder, File Types Options, scroll to the bottom for your file type: such as PDF click to highlight and then click on edit and follow the same steps as option # 1

  • My cat sleeping on the keyboard, somehow open CSS Web Developer and has changed the default settings for a Web site so that it appears to about 10px up

    Big hairy cat, who likes to sleep on a hot surface. Given that Windows XP is no longer supported I use Windows 7 and since I write for Mozilla Support a question, it's a safe bet that I don't use Internet Explorer.

    Is it tiny zoomed? You can reset the zoom level on a site by holding down the Ctrl key and typing 0 (that's a zero).

    Or is there a large dark area, leaving only a tiny vision area? This could be the sensitive Design Mode and usually by pressing the ESC key, which clears.

  • Links hypertext files open with Pro even if the player is default PDF application

    Hello.

    I have a Windows 2008 Server x 64 I installed Adobe Pro X and Adobe Reader X on. I installed Pro first, then the reader, both with MST files, so that the reader is the default PDF reader. Drive indicates that the default program and if you double-click a PDF document, Reader opens indeed. However, if a hyperlink in Word or some other points of the document to a PDF, Adobe Pro file opens instead. I need to drive the default application for all references to the PDF files, but I have to keep Pro and Reader installed on the server at the same time.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Now, it is English so that the problem has been supported. I also had to disable the protected mode to resolve the outstanding issues. Seems ok now.

  • Cannot change the default program for opening .dll

    For some reason any, since I first linked the default program to open files .dll with Visual C++ 2010 Express (which is not truly attempt open, but instead of it gave me a message somewhere near the lines of "File not supported - Type does not open", incidentally) by chance I could not change since. I took a screenshot of the dialog box to try to change (URL below after all), but I noticed that the box was grayed out (the theme I have is a modified version of the classic Windows theme, but on 7, to clarify the operating system). I also tried to select a file after having hit the "Browse" button, but it didn't open anything. I tried several programs in the present to open, much less to change the default value (these are two notable examples): Netbeans - primarily an IDE for Java, but can open binary files even if she's not actually modify them (note: I changed absolutely nothing on any of them even if I has modified it to make it the default program but this problem affects more than just the ones) (, and it did not start until the last default) and Notepad. I went through the 'Open with' dialog box, and this is where I first encountered the problem of it (described above) outside the Control Panel, which it wouldn't let me change the association of file of it in particular, even if I didn't have one of these questions with any other type of file I tried to change, before or after this madness.

    Hello

    I suggest that you try to restore the system to an earlier point before the issue started and check if it helps.

    What is system restore?

    Note: When you perform the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  • Change the default copy and paste file or folder name to FileName (n)

    Hello

    I'm not sue if there is a correction that relates to windows or office other programs.

    I was wondering if there is an easy way, I could set up the default naming for files or the folders that I have copy and paste then. By example, if I copy a file called "Filename" and paste the copy in the same location, the name of the default copy is now given a name 'copy file name. Is it possible to change the default "FileName (n)" value, where n is 1 or 2 or... .depends on the question of whether or not a file with that number already exists.

    I use windows 7 and office 2010. I have a 'SuperCopier22beta' program that I think is the copy/paste?

    Thanks for the help.

    Hello

    There is not a way to change the default behavior of copy file name. There may be a 3rd party program, but common way is by design.

    Thanks and regards.

  • "Debug" file opens in Notepad, when I start my computer

    Whenever I start my computer, a file opens in Notepad called "debug".  That's what he said:

    [0803 / 152335:ERROR:backend_impl.cc (2087)] Corrupted Index file
    [0803 / 152335:ERROR:cache_util_win.cc (43)] Cannot move the cache: 5
    [0803 / 152335:ERROR:backend_impl.cc (134)] Cannot move the folder cache
    [0803 / 152335:ERROR:backend_impl.cc (220)] Unable to create cache
    I can assume that the '0803"is the date of the issue, I have no idea what this could be.  It is NOT a problem of steam, because I've never had steam downloaded on my computer.  I even tried to do a restore on August 2, and it always happens.  I have no idea how to solve this problem, aside from just reinstall windows itself.  Can anyone help?  I have windows 7 64 bit.
    EDIT *.
    I solved the problem!  OK, if there was a problem, I does not solve the problem which is the cause, but I had to stop appearing whenever Windows starts!  Go here: C:\Users\(User-Name) \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
    This will be a hidden folder, so make sure that you are able to see hidden files and folders by going to control panel, appearance and personalization, display hidden files and folders (in the section folder options).  A window pop up and in the list of options, instead of boxes as the rest of the choices, there are two circles.  Told to do not show hidden files, folders, or drives and the other says readers, folders and show hidden files.  Click view, and then apply.  Right now, let's get back to where I told you before.  Once you go to this place, there will be a file called "debug" which is a Notepad file, just delete this little monster and you are free from these hassles!

    Just letting you know that I found a solution!  I hope that you will have an email for it to tell you because I have no other way to contact you!  Check at the top, I added a section EDIT, that explains everything.
