change icon in conjunction with the file extension

I don't know or find how to change the icon associated file type (P 7). The icon shows in the properties of the file, but cannot be changed with any of my choices for the given file type. How can I accompish what?

Thank you.

The option to change the icon for file type exists in Windows XP, and the UI (tab "File Types") has been removed in Windows 7/Vista. To change a file type icon, you must edit the registry or use third-party tools like "Default Programs editor" or something. Choose one of these items:

  • B2B generate the file with the file extension will start

    Hi guru B2B.

    We have a problem with the name of the output file. We have customized the java class to change the file name out based on operational needs. It works well, but recently, we see the file with the extension name from "start" are generated with size '0 '. The right files always generated with the appropriate content.

    Can someone tell us what is causing this problem?

    Thank you in advance,

    Hi Alena

    I assume you are using a B2B channel tuned to retrieve messages in a folder. Please check if this channel to listen is to have the parameter enable selected marker.

    Disabling the marker Enable should avoid generating the file start in the folder.

    Thank you

  • DVD Maker changes every time that the file extensions?

    Original title: dvd & movie maker whats up with these different files?

    I download my video and saves it to a WMV file... then I edit in movie maker and he recorded as wmv, but at other times like a MSWMM file... then I try to publish it in movie maker and it records in a file wmv or sometimes msdvd... why he spends it saves and how this affects the burn process?... it will say 1 file could not be found many times... How can I get these two working smoothly? I have a 32 bit vista

    Hello
     
    When you have finished working on a project, you can publish the project as a film. A film is a Windows Media file with a .wmv file name extension or file Audio-Video Interleaved (AVI) with an .avi file name extension.
     
    Project Windows Movie Maker has an .mswmm file extension. For example, myProject.mswmm and the film has a .wmv or .avi file extension. For example Mymovie.WMV or Mymovie.avi.
     
    Changes made to the file extension depending on the actions that you perform in Windows Movie Maker. Change file extensions should not affect the burning process unless the creation of DVD does not support the file format. If the file is not found, it means that the file type is not supported by DVD Maker.

  • Frequently, Adobe Edge animate the files with the *.an extension will open with the menu completely empty elements.

    Frequently, Adobe Edge animate the files with the *.an extension will open with the menu completely empty elements.

    The HTML file remains in the folder, it works, but it is impossible to repeat the file Edge animate again. What can I do to restore the file or to prevent other cases like this?

    Above all, why do?

    Maybe because some elements such as an image or a code has been changed while the file *.an was opened while the change has been made?

    Thank you very much

  • Change with .htaccess file extensions?

    I just changed an entire site from .htm to .php.  All files have exactly the same name, I just changed the extension.  Anyone know if there is a code to put in the htaccess file to redirect all files with the .htm extension to the .php extension?

    I would settle for redirect all to the index.php page .htm files, but would really like to make it more convenient for the user in the long run.

    Thanks in advance!

    Title: download original ROM files on Vista

    Try to download an update of the firmware with a file extension ROM Vista says it's an unrecognized file type. Patches?

    You must get the update of the firmware that can handle the type of file the same place ROMA, you got the firmware file.  From what I see, they seem specific to the product updated. http://www.FileInfo.com/extension/ROM if they don't have it, talk to their technical support staff and ask them what type of program is required to install the firmware provided in ROM format and where you can get it.  Vista doesn't have the ability to read a file ROM type  Some software must be added to give this capability.

    Here is an article I read: "various hardware upgrades and emulators use the ROM file extension." A user needs a flash program usually available on the website of the manufacturer of the motherboard. The user must not flashing BIOS unless the user knows that he has the image of his mother. An error or the computer may be turned off when the wrong BIOS image is flashed. "So be very careful here, or you can completely disable your system.

    I hope this helps.

  • When I'm accommodating the toolbar of the new option to arrange the icons on the toolbar toolbar change several tools come with the words "wrong tool" and have no icon associated with them. What are these missing tools 'bad '?

    When I'm accommodating the toolbar of the new option to arrange the icons on the toolbar toolbar change several tools come with the words "wrong tool" and have no icon associated with them. What are these missing tools 'bad '?

    I see you have fixed this now, but I was about to tell you that you could have accommodated in the 'Bad' by its shortcut "I" tool.

    To save a custom toolbar, get everything the way you want and click on the button space work, click new workspace

    Type a name for the workspace, and check all three options.

    If I have to use a single screen, I use a variant of the Essentials workspace with minor panels collapsed and dock for main panels.  I call this Essentials 2

    It also seems to me that with all these options, it's stupid not to take full advantage of them, so I separate my most used instruments for their own group and double column toolbar to adjust the screen.  I tried to drop in the groups for the most used tool near the document image (right). I love it, but it take some time remembering the new positions.

  • Update HTML files with nonstandard file extensions

    I use DW8/Mac to update my company's Web site. Recently, we have decided to make the site multilingual. To this end, our web server has been redesigned with multiple views. All the .html files have been renamed to. HTML.en and others. HTML.es files have been created for the Spanish version. And here, I came across a series of problems:

    (1) DW8 does not recognize files with. HTML.en &. HTML.es extensions to HTML. I scoured the Internet and found a solution for this one - I edited the /Configuration/DocumentTypes/MMDocumentTypes.xml file in the installation of DW to include new file extensions: .fr & .es. They now appear correctly coded by color in the editor of DW. Yes, Jose is more a problem, unless the DW gurus could direct me towards a better solution.

    (2) the real problem is this. Since I changed the file extensions for HTML files, the files are up to date is no longer automatically once I modified a DreamWeaver template file. I rebuilt the site cache - did not help. I tried "Edit-> Templates-> update Pages... ', this does not work either.

    I even tried to open a single page and make "Edit-> Templates-> apply a Page template", by checking the check against "Page updated when the template is changed" was present. Doing so change the page, but only once. Whenever I have change the model, this page does not change, because it is supposed to.

    Please advise!

    I'm not sure that this will help the problem of model, though.
