Current default got accidentally updated Firefox to the ".lnk" files How can I cancel it and return to default unknown?

Control Panel > programs > by default of the programs > set Associations:

type of file (LNK file) .lnk says unknown under current by default.  I double clicked it and the Menu recommended programs showed only Firefox.  I chose what has changed all the icons for all quick links for Firefox symbol.  Double click on them now opens a tab in the browser to open the appropriate program.  How to return to the settings and the appropriate links?

Open Control Panel.  In the upper right corner, there is an option for "Category view" or small/large icons.  Change the option for now on small icons.  (you can change this return later, all this for ease of use)  Now that you have quite a few icons, open "Default programs".  Then, using the 'Set the Associations' option, you can adjust how Windows manages any type of single file.  :)

Try Nice PhilipsJason, but I have the impression that this is exactly pajldj changed file association before selecting Firefox accidentally, and it is impossible to undo this change because all Associations does not "Unknown Application" as an option to choose ;)

Hi pajldj,

Try this:

  1. Press the Windows key + R > type regedit and press enter
  2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.lnk
  3. OpenWithList should contain only:
    • (Default) | REG_SZ | (value not set)
  4. OpenWithProgids should contain only:
    • (Default) | REG_SZ | (value not set)
    • LNKFILE | REG_NONE. (binary value of length zero)
  5. Make sure that there is no subkey/subfolder UserChoice (if you see him, do a right-click on UserChoice > delete )
  6. Restart your system

This is what the mentioned key should look like:

    Hello nancy milano,.

    Thanks for this info and choosing the communities Support from Apple. I know how important is able to complete your update to El Capitan at a later date! The good news is that you can simply delete the "install Mac OS X" install app in the Applications folder on your Mac. Then you can open the Mac App Store when you're ready to update and restart the download from the tab updates or searching through the Mac App Store for El Capitan. This is a resource that explains the process of update more:

    Double check with a magnifying glass and a good lighting that nothing has been slain. Then, try insertion and withdrawal of your headphones a couple of times. If this does not work, it may be while the shooting went wrong. In this case, make an appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple store for the assessment.

    To download a single item from the list of windows update, you can follow the procedure:

    a. open Windows update. If it asks you to install anything before you see a selection of "Custom" or "Express".

    b. Once you see the selection 'Custom' or 'Express', choose 'Custom '.

    c. check the updates.

  • Problem of database after you create a new library and drag it to the desktop. How can I cancel that.

    I created a new library, was asked to analyze media. The original library and the new have been listed. I thought that I had to drag the new desktop to add music. It was a serious mistake. I can't get it back with the other. The two files show 10. GB but we have 5 points and 11 other elements. Most of the music (Christmas) does not appear.

  • currency of the row has been changed after cancel create and return to the call of workflow

    JDev 11... 2
    I have two workflow set up very similar to the task of Steve Muench and you will receive. I have master / detail in two tables on a navigation page and a different workflow that create/change for the master and detail (separately). When I create a new master, everything works well except that when I cancel and return to the appellant task, I get the "currency line has changed since the user interface has been made." The cancel task-flow-return has end transcation = rollback and restore savepoint = true and Cancel button immediately a = true. Looks like the controller looking for the newly created folder that has been rolledback. Given that this seems to be a model common vey, what is the best way to not show the warning?

    Thanks a lot for the pointers.

    Hello

    the usecase of yours is the standard demo I show for the workflow and I never had this problem. One reason might be that you keep the scope of the task flow DC to share instead of isolated, in which case restoring impact on the flow of both. If you want to keep shared DC then check that you return to method activity that is re - running the battery for the parent workflow

  • By mistake, I created the folder models: How can I cancel it?

    While I was trying to store a message by saving it as a file, I rather recorded as a model by mistake, and this led to the creation of the models folder. I would like to cancel it, but I don't know how. In addition, because I don't want to do the same thing and more, I would also cancel the backup command a message as a template, which always appears when I want to record a message. Is it possible to eliminate this possibility?

    UH ok, I just looked in Thunderbird and it does not offer an option to delete or the delete key does nothing.

    In theory, we can go to the profile, a file manager and remove all related files, such as templates and the Templates.msf.

    However, yours is an IMAP-connected account, so there will be a corresponding models folder on the server. To remove it, we need to remove it in the two sites. Ordinarily, deleting a message or a folder in Thunderbird would do that for us at the server level too, but given that Thunderbird does this particular issue, we need to do it another way.

    1. Close Thunderbird
    2. Remove models and Templates.msf files in the subfolder right through your file manager
    3. Go to the website of your access provider, connect to their webmail and delete the folder models too.

    Now you can restart Thunderbird and there will be no more folder models .

    But there is nothing don't recreate you through the same kind of accident that made this one. And I don't really understand your concern. Now I looked, all my accounts are empty and unused folders of templates, but I never noticed. They do no harm, they do not get in my way. Why bother to delete?
