Attachments always open in Notepad

How can I get the attached pdf documents to open so I can read?

Do you have a PDF Reader installed?
 
 
Adobe is more "well known", but Foxit is much lighter and my personal preference.
 
 
If you have a drive, create a file association.
 
1. download and save the attachment to the office.
2. right click on the saved file.
3. Select: Open with on the shortcut menu.
4. click on: choose [default] program.
5. Select: Your program PDF Reader.
6. check: always use the selected program to open this type of file.
7. click on OK.
 
This should allow you to open these attachments directly from email address now.

  • Attachments not opening in the appropriate program

    I can't get my Yahoo email attachments to open properly with Windows Vista. I received an attachment that I downloaded on my computer and I had to hit 'Open with' and open it with Notepad for me to see. After that, all my eamil accessories open with laptop no matter if they wee images or text. I right click on some other attachments downloaded to try to open them with their corresponding program and now nothing opens at all. Even the files that need to open up in the laptop just came as symbols, not the words. Any ideas on how to reset these default values?

    Thank you

  • "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.

  • How to configure the desktop or the taskbar icon/link to Firefox so 42 or more recent version of Firefox always opens in a 'new private window'?

    I use Linux on my Acer laptop. I want to use Mozilla Firefox version 42.0 or more recent in the 'new private window Mode"always. When I click on the Firefox icon on my desktop or the taskbar, I want Firefox to open in 'New private window' always; no exception. When I click on the tab button or a link, all new pages should always open 'Private window' mode. In addition, I want to know that I am in a private window with privacy mask showing. Your help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you, Amos.

    Hi Amos, assuming you want to get more protection, monitoring, there are a few options:

    • You can customize your firefox shortcut on the desktop or the taskbar to open firefox directly in private browsing mode: right-click the shortcut "mozilla firefox", go to properties, and at the end of the target line that should hold them the way to the firefox program folder add " -private"
    • You can enable protection followed not only during private browsing, but in normal windows as hollow a 'hidden' preference: enter on: config in the address bar of firefox (confirmed the message information where it appears) and search for the preference named privacy.trackingprotection.enabled. Double-click it and change its value to true.
    • You can set firefox don't remember history in the menu > options > sign confidentiality in order to always run in private browsing mode. However you will not be able to open all normal windows or record the history and passwords if you have defined this mode: confidentiality, and-not-track browsing history settings

  • How can I get the address book to always open with personal addresses. It opens with "all address books.

    When addressing and e-mail, addresses always open with "all the address book. This book contains many addresses which are not intended for daily use for most of the mail I write or pass. I want to always open with "Personal address book" to shorten the research process. I have not had any problems with this before the last update.

    Firefox does not have email or have an address book, it is strictly a web browser.

    If you use Firefox to access your e-mail, you use "webmail". You must seek assistance from your service provider or a forum for this service.

  • Local MP4 files always open with Firefox's built-in video player

    I believe before Firefox 35, I was able to open the local links to mp4 files and Firefox would ask me what to do (open, save, etc.). Local links to files mp4 always open in the embedded video player on Firefox with no option to do otherwise. I tried setting "media.windows - media - foundation.enabled' to 'false' and it has no effect on the local links to files mp4." All the other common video formats, I've tested (avi, mpg, wmv) ask me what for, as this is the expected behavior.

    To reproduce:

    1.) enter URL: file:///path/to/video.mp4
    2.) observes that the file opens in the video player built-in with no option to do otherwise

    Hello, please put media.windows - media - foundation.enabled to his default preference and try to activate media.play - stand alone false instead.
