Hello
Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forums.
I see you've found an error "file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action" when you click office and recent places.
- Have you made changes on the computer before this problem?
- What is the full error message?
I suggest you to report to us the screenshot of the Advanced window so that we can understand what exactly the situation.

The average while you can try the following steps and check if the error reappears.
Method 1:
Step 1:
Start the computer in safe mode and check the number.
Some options, including the mode safe mode, start Windows in a limited State, where only the essential is started. If a problem doesn't reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and basic device drivers and services as a possible cause.
Follow this link provided below to start your computer in safe mode.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode
Step 2:
Put the computer to boot and check if the problem persists.
To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 3 of the KB article provided above.
Method 2: I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.
The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.
Important: During the scan of the hard drive if bad sectors are found, the scanner tries to repair this sector, all available on which data may be lost.
It will be useful.
Back with the details so that we can help you further. We also indicate the result of the suggested steps.

Hello-
I'm looking for here (or get) help directed to the right forum regarding an error message I got when trying to open a PDF file. The error message indicates "this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if such is already installed, create an association in the default programs control panel. "To be quite honest, I don't have the slightest idea as to what to do with respect to this message and I need some advice ASAP. I have the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader installed and if I have to contact them instead about my problem, please let me know.

Original title: problem e mail
I click on the links in the email and get a box that says: "this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action" and the link cannot be opened.
Suggestions;
1. make sure that your e-mail program is your default program.
2. make sure that your Internet Explorer, or your main browser has all its faults.
You can do both of the above by following these steps...
Start button > right column, click default programs > click Set Your Default programs...
1. click on your e-mail program > it doesn't say "this program has all its defaults"?
If not, click on choose by default for this program > check all boxes below the list > click on save when finished.2 do the same as above for your Internet Explorer, or your main browser.

2 click the default programs icon.
3 click on the link associated with a file type or Protocol with a program . (See screenshot below)
4 click the extension file type to change which program .exe association opens. (See screenshot below)
NOTE: It may take a while to load up5 click on change program button.
6 if the list, select the program that you want to be associated with (opens) the file extension. (See screenshot below)
(A) check the always use the selected program to open this type of program , and then click OK.
7 if the program is not listed, then click the Browse button and navigate to the .exe of the program you want to default to open the file extension.
(a) select the program.

1. you are using an email client or Webmail?
2. If webmail, you use Internet Explorer browser? If so, which version?
A default program is the program used by Windows when you open a particular type of file, such as a music file, an image, or a Web page. For example, if you have more than one web browser installed on your computer, you can choose one of them to be the default browser.
Define Internet Explorer by default and see if that helps.
