• How change the registry Vista so I can add my program in the default programs list?

  Hello

  I need help to change the register of Vista so I can't add Sibelius 5 to the list of default programs.

  I need to do this for some reason when I try to open the files .sib I need to open it with a program. So why I want 5 of Sibelius.

  However, when I do this, I do the normal navigation and select 5 of Sibelius in program files but nothing happens.

  I was in Control Panel and was in default programs and all that stuff in there, but still it's not helping.

  See you soon

  Hello

  We could do this in the registry, but it shouldn't. You mention that you went into default programs, but you don't mention if you have tried successfully to associate the file .sib with Sibelius. That's what I would try first.

  (1) navigation to the "default programs":

  In "Control Panel Home", select "Programs", then on "Default programs", choose "do a type of file always open in a specific program.

  Or b:

  Search "Classic view" for the "default programs". Select "Set your default programs".

  2)

  Scroll down the list until you see. SIB. Double-click on that. Select Browse and locate the Sibelius program.

  (Note: * maybe that is your problem.) --> Make sure you browse to the EXECUTABLE file. If you access a shortcut, it will not and it may not work correctly when you try to open later.

  * And you're good to go. Once it is associated with, you should be able to double-click the .sib file and run the program. Hope this helps,

• Cannot change the default program to open certain types of files more

  I opened the month .package file type by using a specific .exe designed to cope.  I got this morning and by clicking on a .package file brought to the top of the screen "choose default program".  I chose the appropriate program, but it does not appear in the screen of the recommended program, and I can't find any way to make it use the default .exe.   I tried to change it in the area of selection of the programs in the the control panel by default and hot at the same result.  I can still open the files by starting the program manually and choosing the option 'Open', but it is a tedious and repetitive task!  This program is used to group graphic files in a specific format, and it is not uncommon to open and close files .package 5 6 times in a period of 10 minutes.  I really need to fix this ASAP.  My productivity has come to a near standstill.

  I'm on Win7 64-bit, the program in question is a stand-alone that has always been in its own folder in the downloads library.  I tried to move to the folder program files (x 86), but that did not help.  Windows recognizes the program when I make the request to select the default program.  When I try to use it however, it is not an option.

  I was going to link to the Microsoft Developer Network instructions, but it's a pretty large amount of information for it, so, let me suggest a small program that should be able to do it for you.

• change the video thumbnails from the icon of the default program in the image of the video

  Hello, when I capture a video on the web using a download manager and place in a folder, open the folder and select "Large icons", it displays the image by default.  I want to display an image of the video.

  I tried to uncheck 'display the file on the thumb icon '.  And I tried to check it out.  It has not changed anything.

  I tried to change the 'default' program, but the thumbnail does is display the image of the new default program.

  I tried to "Set your default programs" to "Windows Photo Viewer (these are responses from Forum site)."

  Nothing works.  Can you help me?

  Thank you, Stephen box * address email is removed from the privacy *.

  Vista.

  Vista has no support for Thumbnailer for mp4 files. There are extensions of the environment that offer this feature, which can run Windows Vista.

• Cannot change the default program for opening .dll

  For some reason any, since I first linked the default program to open files .dll with Visual C++ 2010 Express (which is not truly attempt open, but instead of it gave me a message somewhere near the lines of "File not supported - Type does not open", incidentally) by chance I could not change since. I took a screenshot of the dialog box to try to change (URL below after all), but I noticed that the box was grayed out (the theme I have is a modified version of the classic Windows theme, but on 7, to clarify the operating system). I also tried to select a file after having hit the "Browse" button, but it didn't open anything. I tried several programs in the present to open, much less to change the default value (these are two notable examples): Netbeans - primarily an IDE for Java, but can open binary files even if she's not actually modify them (note: I changed absolutely nothing on any of them even if I has modified it to make it the default program but this problem affects more than just the ones) (, and it did not start until the last default) and Notepad. I went through the 'Open with' dialog box, and this is where I first encountered the problem of it (described above) outside the Control Panel, which it wouldn't let me change the association of file of it in particular, even if I didn't have one of these questions with any other type of file I tried to change, before or after this madness.

  Accidentally, I changed the default program to open the .py (Python script) files at the command prompt, now I can't change it back even in the Control Panel, the check box is gray. Also I tried the registry editor, I do not have the NoFileAssociate file.
  If someone could help that would be great!

• Cannot change the default program

  1 HP Pavilion dv6

  2 Windows 7

  3. "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

  4. Windows update itself

  5. I was always able to change the default program, until Windows has created an another update (which still live with my settings).

  When I right click > Open with > choose by default the program give me this vague and frustrating error message indicating 'Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

  This is a load of ponyfeathers, because I am the only user and administrator of my laptop. I tried also to the solutions, but the error is apparently used in multiple areas of screw - rises of Windows. This error applies to all files.

  I am still able to go to administrative tools and change the defaults from there, but I'm not THAT tech savvy and I don't like playing with the pieces dark and deep programming from my laptop.

  Hello

  Restore the system to the point before you install this update from the Windows Update.
