Applications running automatically, they ask what program to be open in

I have no idea what happened, but now whenever I try to open an application (Internet Explorer, Windows Media Play, whatever it is) it does not work, he asks what program I want to open it in. I found that if I right click on it and select "Start" it works, but I don't want to spend my life to do this whenever I want to check my e-mail, facebook, or simply listen to the music. Anyone know a fix for this? It's really annoying.

Hello

    • 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.

  • After the removal of a virus, shortcuts are now asking what program to open it with Vista

    I have kaspersky anti virus and it has detected a virus, deleted and I thought everything was fine, but when I click on something like the calculator, Notepad, firefox, whatever it is, it asks me to choose what program I want to open it instead of open it automatically. This isn't a big deal, but it is very irritating and annoying. Other profiles on my computer seem to be. The account is not an administrator account, but has information, I want to keep. Any advice would be appreciated. I ran several other spyware and antivirus scans and all my computer ratio is not affected. Thanks again

  • When I try to open a program, a box appears asking what program I want to use to open the file. Even when I try to open Internet Explorer.Any idea that would entail, and how to fix it?

    If I click with the right button on a program, and then click Run as and uncheck the protect my computer box that open programs very well.

    Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

    If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

    You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

    I hope this helps. Good luck.

  • In Vista, all files lost association, constantly asked what program to open a file with

    First of all, whenever I try to open certain files, such as Internet Explorer, paint, or whatever it is, I get the "choose the program you want to use to open this file", and it has not happened before. Along with this, the little thing bar in the lower right corner of the screen (which includes the Volume, time and everything) never ends load when I turn on the computer. I think I have a virus and spin the Virus Scan right now (AntiVir, to be precise, which I think will remove whatever it is detected). Two days ago pop-ups randomly came quite often, even when I'm not all Internet Windows running. It arrived yesterday and for the most part, everything was fine, but today is that occur at startup problems mentioned at the beginning of this post. I tried to search for solutions to this online, and some Web sites suggested to open the Task Manager and try to fix something here. But unfortunately, I can't even open the Task Manager. CTRL Alt Del does nothing, and when I right click on the taskbar, Task Manager option is grayed out. Any immediate response will be greatly appreciated, and if there is any other information I can provide, let me know.
