By default Firefox for .zip files is empty.

Hello. You may recognize my user name as is the guy is constantly plagued by problems with Firefox. The last blunder of the browser are:

I downloaded a NZB file and went to ' open with: others ' and selected GetNZB. From this point, the selection box set automatically highlight GetNZB, although WinRar was the default program. It prevents me from using WinRar, but I had to take the time to choose, which previously was useless, so I found it extremely irritating. I decided to uninstall GetNZB to solve the problem.

Guess what? There can be no. Now, the box is EMPTY by default. I got the add-on "save file in" so I removed it. It made no difference. I followed a tutorial to restore download actions. It made no difference. There is absolutely no sense whatever, and I should just be able to open with WinRar with a single click.

I'm sorry if I have his rude, but years dumped on technology has taken its toll.

Well, I apologize. I think that I thought about it. I had to remove mimeTypes.rdf and it seems to work now.

  • Everything I try to download the default settings for the file type: iTunes Music Player

    I've recently updated my laptop and Vista for the first time.  I now have difficulties to download zip files of emails and sites such as magnatune.com.  When I choose to save, he saves as file "iTunes Music Player" type and creates a copy of my iTunes library.  The file is marked however I save it, but when I try to open it, it's my library iTunes rather than any other file, I tried to download.

    Can anyone help?  Please forgive me in advance for NOT being very computer savvy... have patience!
    Thank you!

    Hello world.

    Simplest of them would follow these steps:
    1. Click Start > default programs
    2. Click "Set your default programs"
    3. list programs, click on 'Windows Media Player '.
    4. Click set this program as default
    This should prevent itunes from launching automatically when you open the zip file. However, I use itunes to version 8.1 of one year, but again, I don't have this problem. I suggest that you need to update your itunes.
    If the problem persists, follow these steps:
    1. Click Start > default of programs
    2. Click "associate any type of file or Protocol with a program.
    3. Scroll to the bottom for. Zip
    4. click it and then click on "Program Change"
    5. In the list that appears, select WinZip or WinRAR. If they are not displayed, then click on the drop down arrow besides "other programs." If it still does not her you must install winRAR or WinZIP.
    6. If WinZIP or WinRAR appeared, then click Ok and click Ok.
    7. If it is not then go to google, search for WinZIP or WinRAR and download the latest version.
    What should probably solve all your queries.

  • Can't make the default program for PDF files Adobe Reader 9

    Hello. I have trouble changing the default program for the pdf files of Adobe Reader 9. Whenever I select the program, it does not appear. I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.

    Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but here is your solution:

    Regedit > HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT > Applications > AcroRd32.exe > shell > open > command

    Right click > edit

    Change your version to the latest version number:

    "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Reader" '%1'--> ' C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe "'%1 '.

  • I want to set the default action for a file type.

    When I installed a photo editor the default action has changed from ""Preview " to 'Open'."  I want to return to "Preview".  Someone at - he had success with this?

    You can try your idea as an experimental, if you don't do that you export .jpg any key for simple restoration (import) in the registry.  Or create a restore point from the system to use.  Don't forget that my machine isn't your machine, so he could have probably NOT the goal in all cases.

    Have a look at the default programs in Control Panel.  Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Set default programs.

    See which by default is actually set to "Windows Photo Viewer.  Click on the words "Windows Photo Viewer", then "choose default program".   Whatever file types you set as the default value for "Windows Photo Viewer" should give you the option to preview "BOLD" as the first and default option on right click for this particular file type.

    Then, you should probably use the Edit option to open a file for editing if you wanted to not just previsualisez?

  • create a default value for the file types

    I created a new site and is a kind of ColdFusion document.

    Dreamweaver creates ever new htm file when I right click on the folder of the site to create a new file for the site.

    I wonder what's possible to leave Dreamweaver to set the default file type.

    For example, Dreamweaver can create cfm for ColdFusion site files and php for PHP site.

    Your information and help is much appreciated,

    Iccsi,

    I don't know what version of DW, you have, but in CS6 preferences panel allows you to specify the default document type and file extension for all new files that you create in DW.   This does not affect your existing website files.  Only for new.

    To edit existing documents, go to modify > Page Properties > title/encoding.

    Now, if you are working on several sites with the requirements of the other script, you can specify the type of page to create by clicking file > New > blank page > choose a page type.

  • Open a swatch library script or adding default shades for different files HAVE

    Ok. That's my problem.

    At my work create us different styles of clothing. All of these styles come in different models of AI that adapt to meet the demands of customers. Each of these styles should be done with a specific set of color swatches, and these colors differ between styles. We have had several errors when the artists mix shades and use evil for a particular style.

    So what I need is to find a way to automate this process and reduce errors. The ideal way would be to create a script that allows the artist to enter the style number and with this information, open the corresponding model HAVE this style as well as the related color swatches. However, I read in some forums that it is not possible to open a swatch from a script library. Another idea that came into my mind is somehow open the default swatches every time that a specific model of I is open. Is this possible? Remember that each fault must be different for each model to HAVE.

    I appreciate any help you can provide me.

    Thank you.

    Don't know who told you that cannot open a swatch with a script library or why they told you that... Here is a simple script, my team uses:

    #target illustrator

    Insert your way here, or a prompt for file picker

    Dittos var = new File('path/to/file/file_name.ai');

    openOpt var = new OpenOptions();

    Download color chart

    openOpt.openAs = LibraryType.SWATCHES;

    Open (theFile, NULL, openOpt);

    then it's just a matter of setting the variables to your libraries of different shades and using a prompt of commands or scriptUI window to open the correct library.

  • The default program for .ai files is Bridge and Windows won't let me change it.

    My computer refuses to associate with Illustrator .ai files. On the contrary, she associated bridge.  Even when you right-click on a file and go to "open with...". "Illustrator is not an option.  It is especially annoying because I like to work with objects smart AI in the PS and when I go to edit a smart object, my computer tries to open it in Bridge (then what's happening, it's the folder Temp opens in Bridge and I have to hang out in Illustrator to edit.)  It is a huge obstacle to productivity, and I'd like to get this resolved.  Here are some pictures of what happens when I try to edit it in Windows.  First of all, you will see that illustrator is not a recommended as default of AI program.

    And when I go to browse and select Illustrator CC 64 - bit, it brings back me to the dialog box 'Open with' above as if I had not done something.

    Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.

    Hi guys

    I found the solution to your problem.

    The problem is that Illustrator CS6 and CC is using the same name 'Illustrator' so when you go for example CC folder and choose windows illustrator.exe already sees Illustrator was added and just jump back to the same screen.

    If you look in the folder C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS6 \Support Files\Contents\Windows (64-bit), you will see the name of the file (illustrator.exe)

    If you look in the folder C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC (64 Bit) \Support Files\Contents\Windows you will see the name of the file (illustrator.exe)

    If you change the file illustrator.exe for CS6 or CC for example IllustratorCC.exe for the record CC

    Change the names of these for example

    If you look in the folder C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS6 \Support Files\Contents\Windows (64-bit), you will see the name of the file (illustratorCS6.exe)

    If you look in the folder C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC (64 Bit) \Support Files\Contents\Windows you will see the name of the file (illustratorCC.exe)

    Then, you will be able to add them to the list of associated files.

    You can do this for all applications from Photoshop, first, AE, etc, are all the same

    Hope this helps

    Thank you
