By default VLC programs, how to change it.

Original title: I can not singular title! Just read on!

Hello

I am using windows 7 on a day sunny, I tried VLC media player from the start menu... He appeared, but the result was no icon. (it's really weird, because I had already installed and worked very well)! If I right click it (in the menu in VLC of recoveries, colorless) and typed 'open with' and then I searched the list of installed VLC and you press ok. but all was not well, because I want to tell all the tabs in the taskbar, including libraries, turned as file support VLC, vlc icon appeared on it (rather than its default icon) and whenever I pressed it, VLC player shows up... leaving my mind and empty screen)... This happens not only for VLC, but for everything, even microsoft word. I can access things elsewhere too, but I prefer to use the taskbar or start option... is there anything anyone can do about?

You want to only make the VLC icon appear on its shortcut (wrong way to do it), but what you've actually done here with your click right says Windows to open all the program/icons shortcuts (.) LNK files) with VLC media player.

Attempt to fix the file association broken for LNK files visit this web page:

http://www.Winhelponline.com/blog/file-Asso-fixes-for-Windows-7/

Follow the instructions on this page to install the registry patch for the LNK file (only) extension. Your program icons should return to normal and work properly after that, although you may have to restart the computer first, after application of the registry patch.

To simply change the icon for a program that is displayed in the menu programs or desktop you would right-click on the icon and select Properties. Go to the "Shortcut" tab and click on the button 'Change icon' at the bottom. That arises, is the selection of available icons for that program or Windows by default collection of icons for you to choose. Select the icon you want and click on apply to change immediately and then OK to finish.

  • How to change the default program installation directory?

    It is everywhere on the internet how to change registry so windows will install my D instead of C drive

    my C is full and where windows is installed. my D is empty. (why the manufactures don't partitions this way, idiots)

    but there's this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933700

    Microsoft does not support changing the location of the Program Files folder by modifying the ProgramFilesDir registry value. If you change the location of the Program Files folder, you may experience problems with some Microsoft programs or with some software updates.

    so I guess my question is stupid: I can change the dfault to D? If not, is it OK to cross partitions? can you please also tell me the command move?

    Thank you

    Most of the programs will allow you to do a custom Setup and change the location of the Program Files folder. Just be careful during installation. We'll always some files on the system (usually c :)) drive. For programs that are already installed in C: to D:, to add or remove programs, uninstall them and reinstall them.

    I have access to several printers that I use in different places. I have to manually change the choice of printer with each e-mail letter I want to print when I change my location when you use thunderbird.

    OK, I found a solution that is acceptable to me, if all goes well it wll be for other institutions.

    Just download the Yahoo toolbar and make sure to select the 'mail' app, in my version, there were 4 check boxes, the first three have been selected and the fourth, the e-mail option, was not.  I have others unchecked, installed the toolbar and after its closure and reopend IE, the toolbar is active.  I went to default programs start menu by default/programs/set and then chosen yahoo mail as the default mail program.  Then I went back to IE and clicked on the key which is the toolbar settings and disabled.

    Now everything works as before and I do not have the yahoo toolbar clutter my viewable area.

    Good luck!

    Using various hacks registry posted on various sites to redirect the default program installation folder to another drive is not supported by MS and can cause problems.

    Most of the programs when you install them have the option for a custom install, where you can specify where / which drive to install, but not all programs have this option. Even if you install a separate drive various files/folders will be written on victory drive.

    Hi EatonmcMT,

    1. what security software is installed on the computer?

    2 did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    I suggest 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.

  • How to change default browser from Yahoo to Google on Android?

    I wonder how to change the default browser on Firefox from Yahoo to Google. I personally prefer Google for research and who want by default if it is possible

    Hi devinat1, if the battery-dot-3 icon does not appear, it means that Firefox has detected a button menu 'material' on your device. In general it's near the home button below the screen. If you can't find a menu button down there, do you want to talk about device you have? Perhaps one of the volunteer support can figure out what is happening.

  • How to change the default font size in Word pad

    How to change the font and size of the default settings in wordpad?

    Thank you

    You can change the font and size and then save it as a template - ex: default.wri

    Navigate to this file and make it read-only. Create a shortcut to it and use it as WordPad in the future.

    It will always come back with the font settings that you put, but you will need to save it under a new name every time (you usually do in any case).

    There is no other way to keep the settings of fonts in WordPad.
