(b) scroll down to the file extension you want to associate and high brightness.

(c) now, click on "Change". In the open with dialog box, select the program you want to associate with this extension.

  • When I double-click a folder or a drive, I get a "this file has no program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options panel' message.

    I studied a lot of information to solve this problem, but whenever I click on my drives in my computer or folder, it comes up with this error message. No matter what I do, the error remains. The strange thing is,I can click right and always open folders normally with the "Open" option, it's just that Ican't double-click on a folder and access it using Windows Explorer. I think it might be a virus or something, but I'm not a computer expert. Anyone know how I can fix without wiping my computer?

    I tried the things:

    (1) I have SystemSuite Pro 10 (2009), so I used that to try to scan deep and does all the options I could. I found 4 Trojan files in my files of java for a reason, but I deleted them.

    (2) some sites suggest a problem with the registry, so I tried the fixes for those who did not.

    (3) I had a system checkpoint to restore old and just tried to restore my computer to that, but the problem persisted.

    (4) I used guest trying to access Windows Explorer and some of my other files, but the error message comes up again. It seems impossible to access Windows Explorer.

    Please help me. Although it is a small problem, I really like my new computer to stay in the best shape possible and not have to do a right-click on each folder just to open it.

    After update of windows of one of them: kb2502285, kb2467023 or kb2454826 causes the error message shwon in the title. Use system restore to remove this error... Someone else? or MS has a solution? Win7 Ultimate system.

    Problem solved before going the route "OneCare". Through the judicious use of recovery by timestamp and the creation of restore before loading points each of the last batch of updates one at a time and most importantly, cold computer start, not reboot. It turns out that I suspected that one of these updates has indeed caused the problem. Update KB2454826 causes the problem on this Machine. Have tested this 3 times now all with the same result, installed = error, uninstalled = no error msg and the system works normally... Not the first time MS has published an update that has created problems of machine. We had an upgrade for a beta version of a years of OS of windows ago that actually slowed to computers to an absolute crawl, kidnapping brought them up to their normal speeds and MS fixed and re-released update, maybe that will be the case here.

  • Shortcut to the file in spreadsheet gives the error "this file has no program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options Control Panel. "

    I have a user running XP Pro and Office 2003.  Whenever they double click a shortcut to a file of Excel spreadsheet, the above message appears.  Is not shortcut to Excel himself, this shortcut works very well.  He finds a shortcut on the desktop to a spreadsheet saved on the hard drive.  Outreach programs and failure to file are correct.  If you click on the actual spreadsheet of its location of origin rather than the shortcut, the file opens correctly.  I repaired Office and when that did not work, deleted and reinstalled, still the same problem.  This is not isolated to Excel or the other Word documents to the same thing, so I suspect that this is a problem in the registry.

    Hi rayperkin,

    Follow the steps listed in the article given below to resolve this issue:
  • Win7, in the folder "Options Internet", the option 'Delete temporary Internet files' crashes without finishing.

    Win7, in the folder "Options Internet", the option 'Delete temporary Internet files' crashes without finishing. I have clean the system helps daily IOF, disk cleanup, SuperAntispyware and Malwarebytes.

    The cycle to remove the Temp Int files just hangs. IE will not open a usual address in the suite. Is this a bug/virus or can it be a simple solution?

    First of all, you cause you a lot of problems with several anti-virus running.  Malwarebytes and Super Antispyware are two AVs. Keep only one installed.

    Scan with ADWcleaner: https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/ better and faster than Malwarebytes.

    You may have a damaged disc.  Run the chkdsk command.

    1. Start the globe
    2. All programs
    3. Accessories
    4. Right-click on command prompt and choose Run as administrator
    5. in the box, type chkdsk c: /r
    6. Accept (y) to run at next boot
    7. Restart

    This may take 1-3 hours.

    If this does not resolve the problem, reset IE

    Tools, Internet Options, advanced, reset.  Click on the 2ndary reset button too.

  • I can't view my folders using the folder options

    In my folder properties, I can check/uncheck "Read only", but the 'Hidden' attribute has a checkbox selected but grayed out and I can't view it.

    I had the virus in my system that automatically hidden my every folder in all drives.

    I open the folder and files by using the path that is iritating too.
    I can't view the folders because of the "Hidden" attribute
    Wiki also says that I should be able to disable the 'Hidden' attribute, but not on my system.
    I'm the admin and the only user of this computer.  Of course, I can 'see' the folder hidden because of the-> Folder Options Control Panel.
    Thanks a lot for any help :)

    Are you sure that the virus has been correctly removed?  Run a TDSSKiller and a Malwarebytes scan on the machine.

    This grayed out checkbox "Hidden" usually means that the file also has the "system" attribute set on it, this can be solved by using the Attrib command at a prompt (run as administrator).

    At the elevated command prompt, use the CD command to navigate to the root folder:

    cd\

    In the root folder, you can get a list of your folder with the following attributes:

    attrib /s /d

    The list will be long, it is best to redirect the output to a file:

    attrib /s /d > c:\attrib.txt

    to open the file from the command prompt just enter the path:

    c:\attrib.txt  (then )

    A peculiar quirk of the Attrib command, is that if the system and hidden attributes are defined, you need to remove both at the same time, you cannot delete one while the other exists.  To remove the hidden attribute and the system:

    attrib h s/s/d

    On the issue of the root folder this command will remove the hidden attribute and system on all folders on the disk... the problem is the attrib command automatically treats all files, so it will also remove the system attribute on all files, including all the files in the Windows directory and its subdirectories.

    That's the kind of mess that sometimes treat when dealing with viruses or other parasites such.  Another problem even worse that sometimes must be addressed due to viruses, it's permissions changed, it is sometimes difficult to know what did exactly a virus, and how the system is compromised following a infection, for these reasons administrators COMPUTER in business or enterprise environment very often consider servers or workstations reviews to be compromised beyond confidence after an infection and the only acceptable in these environments of the Mission is to flatten the box and restore an image or to rebuild the machine.
