Can't click open files! (or Double) going str8 to search!
When I left click on any folder that does not have a single image, Windows will open a search window. with this stupid mutt, wagging his tail! Right Clicing reveals that SEARCH is set by default at the top of the task list. How to change this and how then I stop it happening again.

How can I fix the problem of not being able to open files by double clicking with photoshop
How can I fix the problem of not being able to open files with photoshop by double-clicking it in windows Explorer?
This problem affects psd, jpg, and png files. I get an error saying "the program can't start because adbeape.dll is missing on your computer. I can open all these types of files in the menu 'open' in photoshop. It is not a matter of them not having no not extensions. I use windows 7.
Thank you
Thanks for the update.
Just for test, could you please rename Photoshop.exe to Photoshop CC2015.exe location: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC2015
then change the file association to the new renamed exe file and let us know if this helps or not.

Cannot open files by double clicking or using Open Office ' in the context menu.
Have you tried the deletion and restoration of files/shortcuts without result. Problem occurs intermittently after starting upwards. Ran malware & virus - controls nothing reported. Have not installed any software recently that would coincide with the problem. Am running Win 7 (32-bit) on a Compaq laptop.
Hello
You can follow the suggestions mentioned below and check with the question.
Method 1: Perform the clean boot, try to open the files and check.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
NOTE: once you check the clean boot feature configure Windows to use a Normal startup using step 7 proposed in the above mentioned link.
Method 2: Run a full scan of the computer by using the following antivirus applications.
Microsoft Safety Scanner: http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
Malicious software removal tool: http://www.microsoft.com/security/pc-security/malware-removal.aspx
Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.
Method 3: Check the functionality in another user account.
If it works in a different user account, then the user account is damaged.
Create a new user account
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/create-a-user-account
Copy files to the new user profile on the old profile

I hope this helps.

I wanted to have Firefox 3.6 and Firefox 4.0 on my desk for purposes of test site Web. I made a 2nd profile and following a tutorial the value my firefox shortcuts:
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" PEI Firefox4-no-remote
'C:\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox3.6\firefox.exe' p - Firefox3-no-remote(is there a way to do so that it starts automatically the right profile, instead of having me to select in the Profile Manager?)
Now, if I double click on an HTML file, I get an error from windows saying: "Windows cannot find not (filename). Make sure you typed the name correctly... »
And if I click on a link in outlook 2010, I get an error from firefox saying: "Firefox is already running but is not responding..." "(firefox is running, but according to the Manager of the tasks only once and that it responds normally I would say.)
"and from outlook, I get"General failure. the URL was (url here). The system cannot find the specified file. »I'm guessing this has to do with it do not understand what profile choose? is there a way around this? (other than the definition of something else than Firefox as my default browser?)
Rising, I just installed everything on this system a day or two before, so I have nothing really invested in a facility of firefox and have no problem with destruction of the profiles, as I have no data other than a couple of days of browsing history and a few agifts, or what is important to me.
You cannot use the -no-remote control for your implicit profile / default browser.

can I convert a file of double-page spreads in a unique pages file
I have a double page file I want to convert a file of unique pages. How can I do this in Acrobat?
Some people have written some JavaScript to fix this, but I'm not sure with scans. If you wait, one of the people with JavaScript could drop in and help (do not expect an immediate response). If you search the forum, you might find the script references. This happens once or twice a year. If it's a small file and you have time, you can crop the left and save, then recrop the side of writing and keep them. Then mix the two files and reorganize. After you place your order, you can go to the tools of protection and use the option delete hidden and make one save slot for we hope to get the desired result. I think that simply duplicate JavaScript code each page crop both, repeating the process through the entire file then remove hidden information and save, but not sure.

Why can't I open the location of the file in a new window?
Why can not open a file in a new location window?
If I searched only Im capable of 'place to open the file' of a particular file.
If this is not what I am asking, I have to tap the arrow to the left to return to the search, but must be re - search all folders again!
It can take ages if on a large file structure.
TIA
If you use the default search parameters, it shouldn't have the search again (it should save the results).
However, here is a tip that I would try if it was me: hold the Alt key and double-click the file, and then click 'Open file location' in this area. It's an extra step, but it retains the original file open. -
FrameMaker 10 automatically saves all files in book after replace &; global search
It sucks.
Anyone had this same problem before?
I was working on a book with multiple open files. I did a global search and replace, and saw that all the files in the book were automatically recorded. I went back to check the backup files, and they also contained the same result to replace.
What is going on?
Anyone can enlighten us if there is a setting somewhere that is the cause?
Thanks to you all!
In the case of a book where the component files are NOT open, open, edit, save and close are the expected behavior.
Looks that made Frame the backup even if the file is open and apparently making another backup before editing (which resets the .backup. as well).
Said FM7.1 help, to find and change:
""For these reasons, consider saving your document, and then clicking search and then change to replace several occurrences found.".
The FM9 help says is no longer.
______
I have not tested what is actually happening in this case for FM7.1.
I use usually replace & find if the operation seems the least bit risky.
