  • In "set your default programs" under Win7, file associations of Firefox are altered.

    "Set your default programs" in the control panel of Windows 7, Firefox appears in the list of "Programs" on the left. But its icon is that of Windows Media Player.

    After I click on the name of the program (Firefox) to see the details on the right, I noticed that Firefox icon becomes that of Windows Media Player, also. And "Mozilla Corporation" becomes "Microsoft Corporation".

    If I click on "Set this program as default", files of these types are opened by Windows Media Player, no Firefox:
    htm, html, shtml, xht, xhtml.

    So I must manually associate these file types Firefox to "associate a type of file or Protocol with a specific program.

    To resolve this problem, should what registry entries I change?

    You can try to uninstall and reinstall Firefox, perhaps as an administrator.

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

    Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

    Uninstall your current version of Firefox, if possible, the settings in the software security and cleaning of the Windows registry.

    • Do NOT remove the data personal when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because all profile files will be deleted and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords from other versions of Firefox profiles.

    Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

    • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.

    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but make sure that 'delete personal data' is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

  • When I open "Set your default programs" in my list of programs by default, Internet Explorer is not listed. Nothing happens when I try to add using "Set Program Access and Computer Defaults"

    It started when the links in my Windows Mail messages stopped working. I received an "Application not found" error when I clicked on a link in an e-mail. I went online to find an answer and told everything to use the list of default programs. But IE is not on it and I cannot Explorer to display in the list, no matter what I do. It is, however, listed as my browser program by default when I go to IE tools > Internet Options > programs.

    At the same time links Windows Mail has stopped working, IE icon disappeared from my office. However, I was able to restore, and that seems to work very well, like the Explorer himself. I tried to reset the default settings of IE using tools > Internet OPtions (although that I changed the personal settings), but that does not make the difference.

    Also, it seems that the 2nd IE icon (which looks like a small page, rather than the usual 'e' with halo) on my bar launch and in my programs. When I click on that, I get a message saying "Windows searches for IExplore.exe. To locate the file yourself,... "And then it says the shortcut has been changed or moved. This would be part of the problem?

    Hello purgould,

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

    You have whatever it be listed in your programs by default, or is it completely empty?
    If there is nothing listed, you can view the link here which has a solution that helped some people.

    If you don't have some programs listed in default programs, then that would probably not help.
    Have you tried doing a SFC/scannow?

    Try the following steps:

    First of all, we run System File Checker to see if you have a corrupt file system.

    Click Start

    Click on all programs

    Click Accessories, and then right-click on the command prompt.

    Select the Security tab and choose "Run as Administrator"

    Click on command prompt

    Type SFC/scannow.

    It will scan and repair any damaged operating system files.

    If please reply back and let us know if this helped with your question.

    Sincerely,

  • How can I stop "change your default search... "to show when I open Firefox?

    After the recent update (not the usual update of Firefox, I admit to be a bit surprised and checked) I had to reset some things on Firefox. It was setting the default Google search engine, another was setting Google to the homepage and another was setting the new tabs to open with the home page. Now, whenever I open Firefox, this big blue bar comes at the top of the home page: "See how to set Google as the default browser." Or words to that effect. Been there, done that, how to do this, go away.

    Thank you
    BAB

    Google has added on their homepage for people using firefox and Mozilla has no control over that. If you click "no thanks", it is not, however.

  • After removing a virus from my computer, I can't access any of my programs like Windows Media Player. Pop - up says choose program to open the file type.

    After removing a virus from my computer last year, I struggle to access most programs such as media player and other things.  When I try to open something, I get a popup asking me to choose the program I want to use to open this file. For some programs, this file is actually listed.  But for the most part, they did not.  For example, Nero express is what I use to copy CDs or DVDs.  I have to go into a safe mode to use it as well as using programs to run virus checks.  I was told that the virus had somehow corrupted or affected my file extensions.  I almost had cheated using powerful PC Max but did some research beforehand.  Any suggestions?

    original title: File Extension problems

    If you need to go to Safe Mode in order to use certain applications (for example, Nero Express), particularly antivirus scans, you most likely have not successfully removed all malware from your computer.

    How did you remove the virus from your computer last year?

    You then install an antivirus application?  Which one?  Are you still using it?  What's his current subscription? Its subscription has already been authorized expiration?

    What version of Windows, including service pack, do you use?

    What other anti-malware software do you currently use?

    Have you analysed recently with the following free tools?  Otherwise, download, install, update and run scans (not simultaneously) with each of them:
    MalwareBytes AntiMalware
    SUPERAntiSpyware
    Like many also restore file associations.

    • Right-click on a file and select open with > choose program.
    • Look in the lists of programs (split in 'Recommend programs' and 'Other programs')
    • If you can't find the application you want to use to open this type of file, click on the button "Browse".
    • The "Program Files" folder should open (if it isn't, go to C:\Program Files
    • Find the program you want to use.  If you are looking in C:\Program Files\------, you determine which file is the actual program.  You should be able to tell from the icon.  If not, see note below)
    • Select the program (the exe file or the name of the program in one of these lists) and check the box "always use the program selected to open this type of file"
    • Click OK
    • Repeat the above for each type of different file according to the needs

    Note: If you need to determine the EXE file for an application, just right-click on the shortcut you use to start the program, and then select Properties.  Click on the tab "shortcut".  The 'Target' box contains the path name to go to the executable (EXE file) for the program.   For example, the executable file for Firefox is "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"

    There are a few exceptions, including but not limited to Microsoft applications, which use a more obscure reference to the target.  Word, for example, indicates the 'target' as a 'Microsoft Office' gray of no matter the version.  The real exe for Word is 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICEnn\WinWord.exe' where the nn refers to the version of Word that you have (Word XP/2002 is 10, Word 2003 is 11, Word 2007 is 12, Word 2010 is 14).

    If you need assistance with a shortcut that does not directly show the name of path, ask.

  • I can still access my Manager tasks, Shut Down, restart, sleep, and Hibernate options went on the Start Menu After uninstalling Secure browser review.

    I recently downloaded Secure browser review for a test in Spanish for a class.  I uninstalled the program successfully, however I still can't access my Manager tasks, Shut Down, restart, sleep and Hibernate options went on the Start Menu.  Finally, before taking the test, my computer is always locked.  This means that whenever he 'slept' that I have to enter a password or use my HP SimplePass of fingerprint to unlock.  Now, it does not require a password, or it is not locked.

  • For the last week, I had problems on the Web pages in the browser look at a box itself (the box that actually shows the site), I can't click on anything anyone in the top thumb or inch - and a quarter. What does this, and how can this be repaired?

    This applies to all links and anything in this field unless it falls below, then I can click on it. The only thing that seems to get around it, is on a bar at the top of a Web search, I can click and type, but there is no text cursor.

    This problem occurs even when I scroll down, the same area of a Web site can be clicked, because of this problem.

    This does not affect the toolbars, bookmarks, etc..

    Recently, the Yahoo toolbar and the extension of Babylon have been reported because of this problem. They appear to overlap invisibly on the top of the display of the web page. You have both installed, uninstall or disable them / it or see if an update is available that solves the problem.
