Cannot change the default program

• Cannot change the default program to open certain types of files more

  I opened the month .package file type by using a specific .exe designed to cope.  I got this morning and by clicking on a .package file brought to the top of the screen "choose default program".  I chose the appropriate program, but it does not appear in the screen of the recommended program, and I can't find any way to make it use the default .exe.   I tried to change it in the area of selection of the programs in the the control panel by default and hot at the same result.  I can still open the files by starting the program manually and choosing the option 'Open', but it is a tedious and repetitive task!  This program is used to group graphic files in a specific format, and it is not uncommon to open and close files .package 5 6 times in a period of 10 minutes.  I really need to fix this ASAP.  My productivity has come to a near standstill.

  I'm on Win7 64-bit, the program in question is a stand-alone that has always been in its own folder in the downloads library.  I tried to move to the folder program files (x 86), but that did not help.  Windows recognizes the program when I make the request to select the default program.  When I try to use it however, it is not an option.

  I was going to link to the Microsoft Developer Network instructions, but it's a pretty large amount of information for it, so, let me suggest a small program that should be able to do it for you.

• Cannot change the default program for opening .dll

  For some reason any, since I first linked the default program to open files .dll with Visual C++ 2010 Express (which is not truly attempt open, but instead of it gave me a message somewhere near the lines of "File not supported - Type does not open", incidentally) by chance I could not change since. I took a screenshot of the dialog box to try to change (URL below after all), but I noticed that the box was grayed out (the theme I have is a modified version of the classic Windows theme, but on 7, to clarify the operating system). I also tried to select a file after having hit the "Browse" button, but it didn't open anything. I tried several programs in the present to open, much less to change the default value (these are two notable examples): Netbeans - primarily an IDE for Java, but can open binary files even if she's not actually modify them (note: I changed absolutely nothing on any of them even if I has modified it to make it the default program but this problem affects more than just the ones) (, and it did not start until the last default) and Notepad. I went through the 'Open with' dialog box, and this is where I first encountered the problem of it (described above) outside the Control Panel, which it wouldn't let me change the association of file of it in particular, even if I didn't have one of these questions with any other type of file I tried to change, before or after this madness.

  Hello

  I suggest that you try to restore the system to an earlier point before the issue started and check if it helps.

  What is system restore?

• Cannot change the default e-mail program

  I tried to change the default email program in Vista to Thunderbird by following the instructions found on many sites (Control Panel, programs by default, set your default programs, and then I select Thunderbird, then I click on "set this program as default").

  However, when I try to send a document as an attachment directly from the application in question (Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Word, etc.), I get an error message that says: "no profiles have been created.  To create a new profile, use the Mail icon in Control Panel.  I believe that used to work at some point, although I did have this computer for a long time, so maybe it's that he has never worked on this computer.

  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  It is usually the case with an update of Office, it will reset Outlook as the e-mail Manager by default and assign it all by default available values.  You will need to return to "default programs |" Set your default programs and reset Thunderbird as default and there all available default values assigned.  It is usually a good idea to set Thunderbird as default under "default programs |" The value of program access computer settings by default and after finishing upward on the tab "Set your default programs" by Ramesh was mailed. Please do not forget that * every * Office Update, you receive will probably reset Outlook as Manager default e-mail, and you will need to repeat this process whenever they do.

• Cannot change the default installation directory (missing ProgramFilesDir)

  I'm changing the default installation on my computer directory.  I looked at the number of threads here that cover the topic.  I go to regedit and follow this path: 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion' but I can't find the value 'ProgramFilesDir.' "  It's on Windows 7, 64-bit.

  Your much more course using the option 'tailor-made' for each program you want to install. Most of the applications have this option. Change the system variable or the registry entry can cause other issues, you may not like.

• No HDMI Audio, could not play the test tone, cannot change the default playback device

  Hello, I have real trouble with my HP Pavilion dv6-2160us experience (with the i3 - 330 M, no dedicated graphics card) Windows 7-64 bit, SP1 PC and I would be happy to help.

  I created a new thread because, despite the fact that many other people have experienced a problem similar to this and have posted what has worked for them, nothing has worked for me.

  The problem (s):

  My main problem is that I can not any audio to play from my PC to my HDTV HDMI.

  When I plug my HDMI cable on my PC and the TV, the TV is recognized in the playback devices, but nothing he can play.

  When I try to test the TV in playback devices, I get an error "could not play the test tone.

  In addition, I want to mention a few other odd behavior that I think can be a part of the main problem.

  In playback devices, I can't change anything. I can't disable or enable a device, I can not set as default playback or communication devices, and I can't save changes to the properties of the device. Whenever I try to change something, as the default playback device, nothing happens, or the changes are immediately reversed.

  The Question:

  How can I get audio to play through HDMI on my PC (is not a problem with the TV, my other machines HP audio playback over HDMI it is fine)?

  What I tried:

  I tried:

  • Change the default playback devices, which I am unable to do
  • The utilities of reading Audio de Windows 7 running in a clean boot state
  • Uninstall and reinstall the driver Intel(r) Audio display
  • Uninstallation and reinstallation of the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
  • Uninstall the IDT Audio PC program under programs and features
  • Disable the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC

  Nothing has worked.

  The drivers I have are the latest issued by HP

  How can I get this to work? I would appreciate help.

  I'm at the point where I'm willing to try solutions quite technically involved, so feel free to post those.

  Your expertise is greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  OK, I finally have the answer for that.

  If you experience this problem even and you want to fix it, you'll need a PC running the same version of Windows 7 that your PC works lot of work but it works without problems, with regard to this point.

  Here's what I did to solve the problem:

  1. Create a system restore point.
  2. Run regedit.exe as administrator.
  3. Go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\MMDevices \Audio .
  4. Compare the permissions and attributes of ownership of this key and all subkeys to your work PC.
  5. Change all permissions and property attributes for interest on the defective PC keys as they are the same as those on the operation of the PC.
  6. Restart your faulty computer.

  I hope this helps. It worked for me.

• How can I change the default program to open ZIP files?

  original title: open .zip files

  I changed the default mode of opening zip files somehow. My laptop now wants to use something other than the Windows Explorer to navigate to the zip files. I tried to "Browse" to Windows Explorer, but it will not find...

  Zip files still show with compressed folder icon?

  Try re-registering the DLL that controls how the Zip files are open.  Click Start and in the search for field type

  Regsvr32.exe /u zipfldr.dll

  Press ENTER.  Click Start, then in the type field search

  Regsvr32.exe zipfldr.dll

  Press ENTER.  See if that fixes things.
