• Cannot change default programs as an administrator

  I opened the JPEG files for the past 6 months with a program called FSViewer, but yesterday when I did it, the file is opened with a Windows program that is basically useless. I tried to reset the default value, but the program, FSviewer will not appear in the list once I selected it, I tried also in Control Panel by using the Folder Options. Does not allow me to change it. If I log in as a guest or with another account, no problem, I can change the default program, but it only works in other accounts and not as my main account, which is also administrator of the computer. I also tried to change another account limited to the administrator of the computer, and it allows me to change the default settings of the program without problem. If I change my main account to limited, it still does not change the default program. I guess I could remove the primary account/computer Manager, and start again, but I'd rather not. I am able to download and install programs, but not able to change the default programs.

  How can I get my main account to change default programs?

• Cannot change default program windows 7 64 bit

  I have a user who is running windows 7 64 bit which cannot change default programs. This only happens on the computer if it is connect. So I think it has something to do with his profile.  I noticed that when I go in the Panel and click default programs on associated with a file type I can choose the new program, but it will not save.

  We just migrated to a new domain and transferred all the user profiles with the Microsoft migration tool.

  3. click on the link to Open a file in a specific program type always under default programs .

  4. in the set Associations window, scroll down until you see the file extension that you want to change the default for program.

  5. click on the extension of the file to select it, once you have found what you are looking for.

• How can Windows Picture and Fax Viewer - I specify the editing program?

  I set things up so that Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is the default program when I opened a variety of types of image files, which allowed me to get a quick overview without waiting for a program to load full image editing. What I need to be able to do is to specify which program is then launched by WP & FV when I click on the bottom right of the screen edit button - one with text that says "closes this program and opens the image in edit (Ctrl + E).

  If I click with the right mouse button and select 'Open with' and then I can select in the usual list of possible programs, but what I want is to set a default value for each file type so that a left click of the button automatically opens the appropriate program. I tried the "program to choose...". "and"Always use the selected program to open this type of file"route after a right-click on the button, but what is happening is that the selected program then becomes the global default and circumvents WP & FV altogether.

  Any ideas?

• WMP11 on Vista cannot be selected as default but program opens fine when double-clicked

  I am running Windows Vista SP2 with WMP 11.0.6002.18111. A few months ago, WMP has disappeared from the pinned part of my Start menu, then I navigated to C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player and click right on "wmplayer" and choose "Pin to start menu". This works very well as a way to open WMP11.

  However, is no longer the default program to play videos, and I wish it were. If I click with the right button on a video and choose "open with > choose default program", WMP is not one of the available options. So if I choose Browse and go in C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player and select "wmplayer.exe" in the list, it should add it. But for some reason, it does not become a choice when I select it. The dialog box closes, but there are no additions to the list of programs to choose from by default.

  If I try to go through Control Panel > default programs > Set Default programs it does not either: WMP does not appear in the list of programs on the left side.

  I would like to re-install WMP11 to see if it works, but after searching the Internet for a while it seems that this is not possible under Vista. I can't do system restore, because the only restore point is that earlier today, I did.

  Any ideas?

  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!

• Changed default Email/calendar blackBerry Smartphones; Sync wants to delete all appointments/events; Need of procedure

  I'm changing my email address.  I want to change the default settings on my BB Storm so that it syncs with the new email/calendar in Outlook 2007.  There are 3 e-mail addresses and therefore 3 calendars showing in my BB.  Originally, I created an aol.com as the default value.  Now, I want to change to the new.  All of this is through Blackberry Internet Service through Verizon Wireless.

  When I changed the default on the BB to the new address, the synchronization process wanted to remove all calendar entries that were introduced through the original e-mail/calendar.  I don't want to lose all those entries in my BB or in Outlook.

  I need a procedure that will allow me to keep or to import all calendar entries, once I made the switch.

  Currently, the following conditions:

  Windows Vista 32 bit

  Outlook 2007

  By default the calendar/E-mail: ***@aol.com

  I want to change default calendar *@rootbeertogo.com

  I can't see clearly how to proceed.

  Advice would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Gary

  EDIT: Delete address

  INSURANCE...

  For planning

  1. on the BB, select Options, Advanced Options, the default Services

  2 Click here to see what e-mail and calendar emal address is currently being used.

  3. check if you want to change the figure in both lists, but do not choose another at this point.

  4. open the calendar.

  6. press the BB button.

  7. Select Options in the menu list.

  8 observe the colors that are selected for each of the email addresses that you use on your BB.

  9. you will then need to this information in order to know what are the events to remove.  They are color coded in your BB calendar device.

  10. you can choose different colors if you wish by selecting each address in turn.

  Now, to the Walkthrough:

  1. in the BB replace enamel favorite default one (other) for the two calendar and send here:

  1A by selecting Options, Advanced Options, default services

  1B. Select the new email address for the calendar and messaging services.

  1 c. Save as you go out.

  2. connect your BB to the computer.

  3. when the BB Desktop Manager opens, select Synchronize

  4. during the synchronization process, the only element which should need confirmation is the calendar.

  5. when the synchronization of calendar appears, you will be asked to accept, reject, cancel or re - sync calendars.

  6. choose Resync that will perform a resynchronization complete merger of BB and Outlook calendars.

  7. When you have finished your calendar Outlook will be correct, but your BB device for two different calendars duplicate entries.

  8 that the weather, remove the second set of event entries.

  Hello!

  First of all do what laptop do you have?

  I didn't experience this problem again, but in your case I would update the graphics driver. The latest version, you can find the Toshiba site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  Depending on your model of laptop, you should also try to update the BIOS. For some laptops there are special versions of BIOS for XP, but on the Toshiba page, you can check this.
  In addition, it would be interesting to know if you are running the factory settings or you have installed your own version of Windows?
