• How can I set Adobe Reader as my default application to open PDF files?

  I am a user of Mac with OS 10.5.8. The default application for PDF files found.

  Often when I get a PDF file, I can't see the content. It comes in white... except, perhaps for the letterhead. I have to convert the 9.5 drive Adobe to be able to view the file.

  How can I set my preferences so that Adobe Reader is the default application for PDF files?

  Thank you.

  I am answering my own question. I learned that if you right-click while trying to open a PDF file, you will be asked which application you want to use to open the file. If you click read the information, instead of choosing an application, you get this great information box that gives you the ability to set Adobe Reader in your default application for PDF files. It lets you change all the pdf files, you already have the Adobe files. Yay.

• Opening zip files downloaded

  I don't know if this is the right forum, I'm sorry if not.  I need help, but if you can help... lately, whenever I try to open a file of internet download it tries to open it with Adobe Reader, which causes me to get an error message: "Adobe Reader could not open" Multi - flowers.zip' because it is not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example he was sent as an attachment to e-mail and has not been correctly decoded).  How can I change the default program to open zip files? He used to work very well so I don't know how this has changed... very frustrated.  Help, please!  Thank you! I use Microsoft Vista

  Whenever you have a zipped file, you need to "unzip" first.
  If you right click on the zip, a pop-up box will appear. In this box, you will see an option that says "extract all "?

  If you have the "Extract all" option, click it. You are now 'unzip' the file zipped. Once completed, you can now open it the usual way.

• Windows does not open Zip files more

  I use Windows 7 Professional for a few years now and I've always been able to open the zipped files.  Suddenly now my pc does not have a program associated with the opening of the zip files.  Something has changed and I have no idea of what has changed.  I asked this question before a Microsoft.com site, and he sent me to a site that was not Microsoft where I tried to download 7-zip which worked. But in the download zip 7 process it has also installed other applications that try to sell me unsolicited garbage.  I am appalled to see that Microsoft would send me to a site that attempted to install unsolicited applications.  Come on guys, just give me my windows version of WinZip go back so I can go about my business.   I have reviewed questions in this forum about this topic and it seems that it lasts for awhile now, surely someone at Microsoft noticed this problem and has a solution for this.  Can we download a fix for this.  Where in Windows is the program that opens zip files stored?

  Hello!

  Please restore default Windows 7 registry entries and program of the .zip file extension associations.
  How it's done, is described here: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/19449-default-file-type-associations-restore.html

  Hello

  You need to open ZIP files, which are compressed to make it smaller, then use the content
  in the application appropriate - so if the audio or video content can use WMP.

  Compress and uncompress files (zip files)
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/compress-and-uncompress-files-ZIP-files

  Although Windows has integrated ZIP, you might be more comfortable using a program
  with more features (and works with different types of compressed files).

  I recently had an automatic windows update and since then I can't open .zip files and my files wihtin a folder have been reorganized without doing me anything.  When I try to open the .zipfiles (which were downloaded on the internet July 2010) w Internet explorer tries to oppen a component but done this several times per second, so I get white flashes but no connection. I don't know what they opened with before.  The only way I can stop the flashing windows (which eventually come with the message "not responding" is to restart the computer.  However if I try to get on the internet, normally there no problem.  Some of the text files, are some of the videos.   Before this recent update, I never had a problem opening these files.  Can you please help.

• BlackBerry-sign gives me "error in opening zip file".

  We have BB 10 Native application that has some setting we want to customize for each customer. Example of database server, etc. User\Pass. The settings are stored in the QML file so it can be read by the App while running.

  In order to allow customization based on demand, we decided to create the ussigned of the bar of the package version using blackberry-nativepackager.  Bar file is Zip file, when these details provided by the customer, we simply decompress .bar file, the zip again and QML file using a utility such as 7 Zip.

  But after that when I tried to sign the new file .bar using blackberry - sign it gives me "error in opening zip file". File has permission and it is not corrupt. I don't know why blackberry-signatory dislikes the new bar file. Is native Packer doesn't something extra then creation of zip file to make it work with blackberry signer?

  I believe that this solution I was looking for.

• Program used in Windows 7 to open Zip files

  Downloaded zip files.  Accidentally tried 'open with' windows photo viewer.   All of the changed files zip.  Cannot find what program to use as the default value for the zip files now.   Tried several that are matched in 'open with', but did not work, and when I watched, I didn't know what to try.   Can anyone help?  I checked the settings in the Control Panel, but I don't know we can do to bring back the zip files, so I can check out them.

  Hi PoJo1

  Go to the following site.

  Difficulties of file Association for Windows 7

  In the file types list, right-click on the "Zip" type and select Save target under... Download the file to the desktop.

  Go to the desktop, click on the zip_fix_w7.reg file and select the Merge option. If you get a pop-up message on the registry, select OK to merge.

  This will refresh the built-in zip functions.

  I hope this helps.

  Thank you for using Windows 7

• Windows to use a specific application to open a file with a MCD.

  Original title: "open with" application "Choose default program" Cancel

  I accidentally changed the icon and the program using the "open with" application "choose default program" to the word instead of VectorWorks. The central database file can still be opened by the program. However, I can't find the program or its icon on the 'recommended' or 'Other' menu programs even if the program is located in my folder "Program Files". How to cancel the global setting or that the program "open with" to recognize the program?

• Definition of Photoshop CC 2014 as my "default program" to open JPEG files in Windows 7

  I just installed Photoshop CC 2014 on my Windows 7 computer. I put Photoshop as my "default program" to open JPEG files. Now when I double-click a JPEG, Photoshop CC will launch instead of 2014 CC Photoshop. I noticed that the executable files for all versions of Photoshop are "Photoshop.exe" (no wonder that windows merges). If I changed the name of the executable file for Photoshop CC 2014 to something like "Photoshop2014.exe" then Windows will allow me to choose the program as my "default program" to open a JPEG file, however it is therefore impossible for me to open the files in Lightroom. Lightroom to Photoshop CC will default.

  I changed the name of the executable file for Photoshop CC 2014 to "Photoshop.exe" and renamed all the executable files for my older versions of Photoshop. It still does not work.

  Should I make certain types of changes in the registry?

  It's the post on this site: Re: Adobe CS6 file associations are all seeds

  Simply change the directory to the correct EXE for cc 2014 and you should be good.

  This is a Registry fix for Win7 machines for the file association problem.

  This from TinusHDCA user:

  I installed Photoshop CS6, then found CS5 was always there. I thought, Hey, I don't have CS5, so I uninstalled CS5. then I discovered that Photoshop was no longer available in "Open with", when right clicking on an image...

  I went into the registry, HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Photoshop.exe\shell\open\command, and changed (by default) of "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit) \Photoshop.exe" '%1' to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit) \Photoshop.exe" '%1' (so changed CS5 to CS6) - and now I see "Adobe Photoshop CS6" in my list 'Open with' when right-clicking on an image...

• How do you make your computer will stop recording your zipped files less? How to open zipped files?

  Whenever I go under MYItlab to download my homework with which he recorded zipper. But before he recorded them with Microsoft. Now when I go to open them in my USB it is said that they are corrupt and wont open. How to open up with Microsoft? How can I open zipped files?

  Quote your version of Windows.

  If the files are download as zip files, then this is your school that provides in this way.  Windows inherently knows how to handle zip files.  She treats them like "compressed" files  Just save the zip file to a folder, and then open Windows Explorer and double-click them.
