• I get a message saying "Windows cannot open the file...". »

  I had a lot of problems with infections, so I was running many scanning programs.

  After getting my computer almost completely cleaned, I ran the Super Anti-Spyware program.  We find 3 infections, which I'd delete (I don't have no way of knowing that I removed).

  Since then, whenever I try to open a program, or even Windows Update, etc., I get a message saying:

  "Windows cannot open the file.  To open this file, Windows needs to know what kind of program has created.  Windows can go online to search automatically, or you can manually select from a list of programs.

  When I go on the web, I get a lot of options, which are almost free scans that then charge for fixing.  I am also very scared that I can also get another infection from these sites.

  I hope someone can help me solve this problem.

  Yes, each method is a set of measures to try and then go ahead and try each one separate.

  2 method will reset the executable (.exe) extension that will allow you to open programs. It is not clear what exactly you are trying to open so that it can have no effect.

  Keep in mind that the damage caused by malware can be irreversible, in the case of relocations are necessary.

  Hi Robrw,

• The action cannot be completed because the file is open in Windows Explorer.

  OK, it seems to be coming a lot but no one was able to respond (including Microsoft) so I'll ask, and be as specific as possible.

  Because I work with vector art that I constantly have to save files by crush the and everything was cool with WinXP pro.  I have Win7 Pro and everything was cool, until recently.  Whenever I tried to overwrite my files, I would get an error message saying that the file was either dead or opened elsewhere, but it has happened about 50% of the time.  A launch the re-registration of files with different names.  After obtaining the files re-registered I then try to remove and rename files, but found I couldn't do it anymore, as I was constantly getting the error message "The action cannot be completed because the file is open in Windows Explorer."  Closing and reopening the browser do nothing.  Someone said if not empty the trash bin works, but not for me.  The files are on an external drive, I tried to disable the cache of writing by Device Manager and Windows Management Console (or other) frozen and took the pc with it (nice work, MS!).  Reboot seems to fix the problem for a bit, but he returned quickly and randomly.  It also seems to randomly select to lock files.  Some files I can not change, some that I can.  Others begin to operate after some time of inactivity.

  I tried to disable thumbnails in Explorer and even added a DWORD NoThumbnailCache in the registry, but it still happens.  Basically, I'll have to save all of the new files over and over again and that from time to time be able to remove the "old" while being only randomly too write others.  This question seems to be infestation Vista and Win7 and people have waited for a fix, Microsoft, but was mum on the issue.  If anyone can come up with a solution, it would be great.  It is killing my productivity!

  Common guys...
  Im having this problem too and I've been thought IE9 is at the origin of the problem, some how, I don't want to disturb...

  Here are some solutions:
  Please note that I'm looking, there is not any solution patch for this program by Microsoft, you can maintain it yourself. And correct solutions in this way losses.

  Solution 1: Use CMD.
  0 - note the following 3 steps will complete the process explorer.exe, so your desktop and windows Explorer all open files and any associated process would stop.
  1. run the Task Manager. (by pressing ctrl + shift + esc or etc)
  2 - go to the processes tab.
  3 - find "explorer.exe" and click on the button "complete the process". If you find several explorer.exe, kill them all.
  4. now, click the menu file-> new task (run...)
  5 type CMD, and then click OK.
  6. now you can do something you couldn't have done before with this user interface. Some useful commands:
  -cd: change the current directory. Use 'CD..' to the 'button' in windows Explorer.
  -dir: lists the existing file and folders in the directory current. Use ' dir/p' to the list in the pages.
  -del [file name]: removes the file [filename] existing in the current directory.
  -Rename [name of file] [new file name]: rename the file [old file name] existing or a file existing in the current directory to [new file name].

  Solution 2: Use a different file manager.
  0 - install and run another Manager file as "XYPlore".
  1 Note that the following 3 steps will end your explorer.exe process, so your desktop and windows Explorer all open records and all other related processes would cease.
  2. run the Task Manager. (by pressing ctrl + shift + esc or etc)
  3 - go to the processes tab.
  4 - find "explorer.exe" and click on the button "complete the process". If you find several explorer.exe, kill them all.
  5. use XYPlore UI and do what you want.
  Please note that the problem could happen with this kind of external explorers too. So close any file and go into a secure after your working directory.

  Solution 3: Do it yourself!
  If you can program, there are some codes that might help you. These codes which talks about Im, says MS Windows to remove your annoying pinned files just before you shut down the system.
  Here is an example:
  MoveFileEx ('C:\windows\system32\ld21E.tmp', nil, MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING or MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT);
  This code will work correctly in Delphi from Borland compilers, and as you can see, the "ld21e.tmp" file is deleted after compiling this code and restart your windows.

  I wish I can do better, as to publish an Explorer that do what you want automatically, so I hope that these can be useful.
  Some how you can check this thread too, it may be useful:

• Error Msg: cannot open the file "Windows XP Professional - 000004.vmdk.

  The hard drive on my iMac crashed while my virtual machine is running.  When I try to open the virtual machine 'suspended', I get the following error message: could not open the file "Windows XP Professional - 000004.vmdk"; The system cannot find the specified file.  This file is listed in the contents of the packaging of the XP machine, but it notes the date, the iMac has crashed, which is the last day of work of the virtual machine.  I have read through discussions and tried a few things from the knowledge base, but I can't go past the error msg for the virtual machine to run.  Any suggestions?

  After selecting OK, I then received the second attached message, "Current Message.png", which reads... "your virtual machine has not returned because of an error.  If you believe that the error is correctable and you want to keep the suspended state, so you can correct the mistake, after that the virtual machine is turned off, select Preserve.  To ignore the waking state, select reject. »

  I didn't do anything since getting this second message because I do not know which to choose.

  In this case I'd throw away them.

  If after following your excellent detailed instructions & explanation (thank you!), here is what happened...

  As the machine has begun to resume in a suspended state, that asked me if I moved or copied and I selected, copied.

  In cases like this (restore a Machine virtual sauvegardΘ) the correct answer to this question is "I moved it" even thought "I copied it" seams more logical, it is not the right answer but with the advent of the second error message, not caused by the answer to the first question, no answer would have mattered.

  (if I can just get my prospects for work with this virtual machine files, your help would be invaluable!)

  This Virtual Machine is always recoverable, however if you are only interested in the recovery of data from the user then after reading the following quit VMware Fusion and try to mount the virtual disk to the Virtual Machine using the information below.

  Take a look at: VMware Fusion (menu bar) > help > Search > type VMDKMounter, and then select use VMDKMounter to mount a virtual drive as a Mac Volume

  Notice, ignore the parts on "to add support for reading / writing to NTFS volumes, you need to install NTFS - 3G separately." as it is not necessary for recovering files within the VM using VMDKMounter, because you only need read access to retrieve data from the user.

  After obtaining your user data disassemble the virtual hard disk on the desktop and then after that you want to retrieve the VM using methods from another just let know us and additional directions can be given.
