  Hi CrazyPizzaJoe,

  Run a scan for malware by installing the tool following "Malwarebytes" from the link: http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html

  Make sure that you update the Malwarebytes tool before you run the analysis and then run a full scan and remove if infected files found on the computer.

  After that, open a Notepad and copy the following text and save it as desktop.reg on your desktop

• Where is the option to change the keyboard shortcuts in AE?

  Hello

  I am very pleased with Adobe After Effects, but how is it still possible that you can not change the keyboard shortcuts in the application? ! Adobe is well known for making very friendly interfaces, then, how is it possible that such a simple command is not the EI? There is a good chance that he will change?

  Best wishes

  Michal

  You can change the keyboard shortcuts. You are editing a text file. You can find the file by opening the Preferences dialog box and reveal in Finder/Explorer the button at the bottom of the General category.

  If you want to make a feature request, you can do so here:

• 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

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

  Regsvr32.exe zipfldr.dll

  Press ENTER.  See if that fixes things.
