change the extension to svg by mistake changed icons lnk

Title: help, I changed my icons on the desktop by mistake trying to change program associations

I was trying to find out if the file association Cup for sure a lot 2 was OK, and I pushed something in the start menu > programs and default settings > .svg files > (changed to cut course a batch of 2) and something happened to cause my desktop icons to .lnk files and when I went to fix it I chose ms paint to open the program and now the icons are red like icon painting... (with the extension .lnk in there
names)
How I would fix their back to normal

The good news is that a small free utility was written to cancel the. LNK file association was created. There is also a registry hack to achieve, but I recommend the utility unASSOC for its ease of use. Click on the link below.

A utility to Unassociate Types of files in Windows 7 and Vista

Just download and then use the utility to unassociate the. LNK files. Manual is available on the web page above (the same place to get the utility).

  • How can I get the Extension toolbar icon to display the image without text (without affecting the other icons universally)? How can I change the text of the icons (except space)?

    «In the drop-down view menu, you can choose what to display toolbars: icons, text, or icons and text together.» By default, Firefox shows icons only. "Is it possible to choose a setting for a specific toolbar icon to be icon only (no text) without affecting all the other icons on the toolbars universally?

    Second, is there a way to edit the text on a toolbar button by another extension (because it takes up too much horizontal space in the toolbar because of the amount of text)? I do not know how to locate the xpi file and open it with Notepad, but then it is mainly (not English) code & FIND is not to search the text of the button (to change).

    These 2 questions should apply to the buttons of the Extension in general. However IF it makes a difference I'm talking for the toolbar button back to 7.0 top of the page that says 'Go to top/bottom '. I would like to at least change on "Go to", but my questions also apply to the other buttons Extension. I realize that it may be necessary to redo a fix/change whenever there is an update? Thank you.

    You should always see this icon that only the text of the label could be hidden.

    You can try this code in the file userChrome.css below default @namespace.

    @namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
    
    toolbar[mode="full"] #b2tTBUnicon { min-width:0px !important; }

    toolbar[mode="full"] #b2tTBUnicon .toolbarbutton-text { display:none !important; }
    
  • Need to change the extension to .jpg .jpeg file

    My scanner will save an image in jpeg format, but my application requires the extension is .jpg .jpeg instead.  In Windows XP, I could easily change that, but I do not see the extension to rename it in Windows 7.

    Try this

    How to change the extensions on several files with Windows 7?

    You hear no doubt, is that your movie software will only recognize certain types of image file formats.  If this is the case, you will need to reformat format files to any format PNG is recognizable by the software.

    Rather than we guess, please identify your «film» software

    Download and install IrfanView, which is a free utility for images.  http://www.IrfanView.com/

    IrfanView has the ability to read a great many formats of image files.  It can also convert image files formats.  And even better - for you - it can do all these things on a batch of files.

    As test, after I installed IrfanView, open one of your PNG files.  Now click on file > save as, and select the 'Save as Type' to be little matter the file type of your movie software will accept.  Save the file.  Make sure your movie software can accept the new file.

    Once you are convinced that you can modify files that you have in a format that you can use, use IrfanView

  • Extension and the application changed icons. LNK

    All my program file extension is replaced by LNK and cannot open an any of them.  Icons are also modified for Windows Media Player.  I tried to open a video file and asked which application to use.  I chose Windows Media Player and who created this problem.  I can't use because no system restore applications run.  However, I tried to open Firefox by opening the folder "programs" > "Mozilla FireFox" > Firefox.app.  I use Windows 7 Prof Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    «However, I tried to open Firefox by opening the folder "programs" > "Mozilla FireFox" > Firefox.app.»

    Did you? So so good.

    Have been that your .exe changed to .lnk? It would be average of not well, and I don't know how to fix this right now, but if that's what happened, I'll see if I can find something. That said, most of the icons on your desktop program should be shortened, not executables. If they are shortcuts, file extensions should be .lnk.

    Finally, were your (guys who should be of .lnk) shortcuts changed to WMP icons and everything will now open WMP? Of after your description of what happened is more likely. It is not too hard to fix, but a method requires a regedit. There are a few automated regfix files that are supposed to restore the default values of the file extention but comments only that I got was a person who said that it did not work. I have a follow-up question on how they tried the fix, but so far no answer so we don't even don't go there for now.

    First of all, since the default action is caused by a choice of the user (as it was accidental), you can be able to restore everything simply by creating a new user account. See if the icons to return to their natural state, then knit. If so, just move all your files and folders and delete the old account. If you use Outlook, you also need to reset where it looks for files of Outlook, but it can be automatic (do not try to start Outlook until what everything is copied on the property). If you use this method, remember to copy the hidden appdata folder. Just show all before you begin the copy.

    The other method which requires a regedit is also quite simple, but recommend that you set a manual restore point before you start. A regedit always has the potential to mess up your system. the procedures are:

    1. Click on the Start Menu, type regedit in start search and press ENTER.
    2. Navigate to the following registry branch:

    NtVersion ntVersion\Explorer\FileExts\ [ext]

    Replace the [ext] with the real extension of the file you want to restore the file type association to return to the original Windows 7 by default (probably .lnk). If you unsure, simply browse through all the Sub-touche under FileExts.

    1. Delete the subkey named UserChoice.
    2. Exit the registry editor.

      Theoretically, each method of work.

      BTW, in the future do not use open with on no matter what shortcut... or if you do, don't forget to uncheck the box at the bottom (the one that says something like always use this application for this type of file). The best method is to set the default application using the actual file or via the control panel. Then, you can double-click on shortcuts to these types of files to your heart's content.

  • Change the title for the extension of the JS code

    Hello

    Can you help me?

    I want to change a title for Panel or models extend the JS code, but I have not found a way to do it.

    In Flash/Flex (Extension Builder 2.1), I can change the window title because it is a title for Window(). In HTML, I create Extension (model type) and when I call this extension (open) I see title of manifest.xml.

    (open the extension code: window.__adobe_cep__.requestOpenExtension (extensionId, params))

    I want to change this title when I navigates to another page in this window (extension) (1 page - 'images', page 2 - 'colors') from JS code.

    How do I change a title for the extension of the JS code.

    Thank you!

    Unfortunately, the CEP solution, we have at the moment has the basic characteristics too lack, IE. one can not change the size of the screen, implement drop-down menus, ToolTips, extend controls outside the panels on Mac and many more and all that in addition a bunch of very serious bugs that are really impossible to circumvent.

  • Allow the extension feature: the order can be changed?

    Hi all

    In my presentation at the WORLD EN, asked me the question above: allow the extension feature: the order can be changed?

    When you click a member (allow verified expansion) in the workspace, hosting is done on top and the next level of members under the Member's stay. Is there a way that this feature works as SmartView? You click the Member and it remains on the bottom, but the next level remain on the Member?

    I have not this is possible, but I wanted to check with you guys.

    Thank you
    Mehmet

    Hi Mehmet,

    Yes you can. Under the properties grid, change the "Position of Expansion" "after parent" of "before"Parent.

    Note, that, since this is a global property it happens this way of lines and columns.

    Cheers, Iain

    PS, sorry I didn't attend your session, I was already on a plane to Texas.

  • Not all facilities of the extension. They get stuck at < nom_extension > ' will be installed after Firefox restarts." Restarting Firefox does not change this

    I've always been able to install extensions with no problems until a few days ago. Since then, the extension installation process gets stuck to where they appear in the list of extensions (topic: addons) with the message < name > "will be installed after you restart Firefox." Restart of Firefox has no effect on this point - after that restart, the extension still says "will be installed after Firefox restarts." I tried several restarts Firefox and I tried to install other extensions, and the same thing happens with all I'm trying to install the extension.

    I know I'm running an outdated version of Firefox, but please ignore this. I have a good reason for it.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files that store the registry extensions.

    Delete the files (extensions.json, extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) extensions.* and compatibility.ini in the profile folder of Firefox to reset the extensions registry.

    New files will be created if necessary.

    See "extension corrupted files:

    If you see disabled extensions or is not compatible in ' Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions ' and then click the Tools button at the left end of the search bar to check if there is an update available compatibility.

    If this did not help, then also delete the files addons.json and addons.sqlite possible.

    You can check for problems with preferences.

    Delete a possible user.js file and files numbered prefs-# .js and rename (or delete) the file prefs.js to reset all the prefs by default, including the prefs set via user.js and pref which is no longer supported in the current version of Firefox.

  • Can I change the captioned OS showing Chinese on toolbars, icons

    Hi people,

    Win XP 32 bit (English version)

    Can I change the OS captioned showing Chinese on toolbars, icons etc.

    After playing a bit on "Regional and Language Options" without result.
    I found that I can not "check mark" 'Apply all settings to the current user account and to the default user profile' permanently.
    After-> Apply-> OK-> restart, it unchecked at this point.

    IIRC it is possible. I did it about 9 years ago, when Windows XP came out.
    Any advice? TIA

    Hi mate

    I think you'd need to install a Chinese language pack for Win XP.

  • Cannot open any programs, I think that somehow the files have been changed to .lnk files
