Change/Remove "open with" program
I inadvertently assigned a file type (* .shp) to open with Excel 2000. The type of file open with 'Windows Shell common Dll' by default. How can I safely change the program "open file with" from Excel to the original creation of dll Windows Shell?
Thank you.
Hello
Start by using this utility to unassociate the. SHP files. Then click on and open the value with
for Windows Shell common Dll as indicated in the 2nd link (it shows Windows themes
However the action should be the same).
1. run this to Unassociate the. SHP files (if they are displayed as a choice)
How Unassociate a Type of Extension file in Vista and Windows 7 (and a utility for help)
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/91920-unassociate-file-extention-type.html
2. after 1 re - associate the. SHP files so they appear as a choice. Links are an example
HOWEVER, only must NOT be used ThemePack, you use a right-click on. SHP, and then
Use the Shell32.dll file if the Windows Shell common Dll is not a choice.
How re - associate .themepack file so that it opens in the screen to customize directly again? This
You shows how to select the Shell32.DLL file, but would be a click right on the. SHP instead of the
ThemePack in the example.

How to 'Open with' program individual links
When you create a link to a file in PDF format, how can I get the file to "OPEN WITH" a particular program, without having to set as the default program for this file extension?
For example, I would like the link in my PDF for '1.jpeg' open with Adobe photoshop, but don't want to Photoshop all JPEG files default program to open with.
You can not. You don't have any control over the files and applications used by the end user.

When moving to a new version of an application, I would like to continue the default 'open with' on the previous version. It helps to smooth the transition. I am currently working with CS5 and CS6 applications. Access the palette 'info' of a file (photoshop, illustrator in design,... until now...) and try to switch the default 'open with' to CS5, but it does not work. He continues by default to CS6. Suggestions please?
If you open Bridge and click on Preferences/editing/files Healt, you can set the default value for what you want.

Remove 'open with' (fact sheet 3:d part deleted)?
Hello!
Recently, I uninstalled a bunch of plugins part 3:d for LR. They were installed when using LR 5, but after that I updated to version 6. The thing is, there is still a remaining option to open one of the plugins in "Edit with...". "when right clicking a photo. Color Efex pro 4 is the plugin which is shown, but since I uninstalled the application I'm not interested to see this option more long. Oddly, it does not disappear after the uninstallation of the product. All other products from the same company was also uninstalled and is not displayed (as it should).
Ideas how "to fix this?
Best regards
Fredrik

None of this has worked.

Does anyone know how I can remove this program that has no program folder, no registry keys, but still works? I can still print from this computer, but cannot access the HP Director (a function to scan, print, clean & align print head, etc.), which is what started this process of trying to uninstall/reinstall the program.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

My system is;
Dell Dimension 4550
Windows XP Pro w/SP-3 (version 2002)
Of photo TakerYN...
This message can be considered "solved!" I was finally able to remove the program with the HP disk. I tried to reinstall (overwrite) the program, but I received a message that the installer has detected that the program is already installed. I wanted to try it manually, so I 'opened' the disc, you click on "setup" and received the same message. At this point, I was ready to try anything and noticed the "Launcher" icon and thought, what the heck, can't hurt to try at this stage, so I clicked it. I wasn't expecting the screen, I had, who said that it would be to uninstall the program. I thought it was too good to be true and easy way (after all), but after that it's over, I checked my Add/Remove programs and my 'problem' program was gone.
Thought I would post this so anyone who might encounter the same problem can try this.

Hello, I recently moved from Photoshop CS6 Photoshop CC. Now, when I select a NAVE of Nikon bridge CC or the desktop file and select 'Open' it will always open with Photoshop CS6. If I select a file NAVE and "Get Info", change the "open with" Photoshop CS6.app to CC.app in Photoshop, select 'change everything', I wonder if I want to change all similar documents and select continue, he returned to Photoshop CS6.app. I am at a loss. Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, David

Update...
I spoke with someone at adobe, and it is a known problem with the CS6. The solution is to uninstall CS6, run for a day or two, (now the 'open with' appear to be CC 2014) and reinstall CS6. I can confirm that this solves the problem.
