default file extension

• Selection of Vista Explorer by default file extension: this can be changed?

  By default, in the Vista Explorer, when you select a file name, the file extension is excluded. This behavior can be changed?

  Thank you.

  François

  To see file extensions, go to start / Control Panel / folder options / view and presented the box Hide extensions of known file types.  This way you will always be able to see the file extensions.  I have no idea why that is enabled by default because it is very useful and I would even say that it is important.

  If you have disabled (or if it's on, incidentally) and you rename a file without the extension, it will lose the file extension and won't open because he doesn't know what kind of file it is.  It's yet another reason for the extensions of files to all files are displayed permanently.  You do not want the name of the excluded file because this would mean that you could not change the types of files because the extension is "locked".  As long as you can see and change, there should be no problem.

  When you select a file name in the file extension Explorer is excluded only if it is hidden.  Otherwise you can see.  In any case it's there even if you don't see it (unless you have changed the name and does not include the extension in the new name).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• set the default file extension

  I have a button "save under" in my front panel and when I press this button a dialogue apears asking me a path for savaing a file in a format "xls". In this case every time I press the button "save under" I have to type the file name extension ".xls" as well as the file name.

  Now, how can I pre-define '.xls' as value format by default when I press the button "save under" it usually then need to type the extension (.xls) too?

• Why can't I change the action of double-tap by default for a file extension?

  With Windows XP, it was possible to change the default action for a file 'type' (IE file extension, because Windows 7 has no notion of a file "type" Despite other operating systems supporting these things for the last 20 years).

  Why is it not possible under Windows 7?

  Because it was designed by a guy named 'Me', which obviously has not used a computer or visited planet Earth recently, if ever?

  Why are all the MS support dumb people on this issue?

  Because they would have to admit they lied to their customers when they said Windows 7 was better than XP?

  Its opening called with, no?

  No, it isn't. This isn't what he's talking about.

• What can I do to find file extensions, please? I'm trying to restore my previous session on Firefox, & need help file extensions...

  I was told if I found the session files I would be better able to restore my previous browsing sessions... I am using Windows XP PRO SP3 32-bit.
  But I was also told that if I went to a particular place on Microsoft Windows, I know how to get the file extensions, so far I have had no luck with assistance here... hoping someone can help.
  Or... do you something if I activate a restore point which would be an easier option?
  I'm old & not a geek, if need you detailed instructions please

  Thanks in anticipation... I am very grateful to be able to request...
  Kind regards
  Sylvia

  Session files are located in your profile folder and are named sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak. If you have had an accident, FF load automatically and ask you if you want to use the session crashed.

  If you don't have an accident, you can load the last session in FF from the default home page by clicking on the restore session. If you have changed the default home page you can call it by adding on: houses a copy of your FF shortcut. Simply change as follows...
  
  Then, you will see this...
  
  Click on restore the previous session.

• . Action file extension

  I can't open a place of trade .Act file extension.  How can I accomplish this?

  Rick

  Go to start / Default programs / associate a file or Protocol with a program and the list for the .Act file extension (I've never heard of it or those who well before - they usually only 3 digits - then be sure that it really is the extension of the file and is not actually part of the name of the file - go to start / Control Panel / folder Options / View and uncheck the box to hide the extensions of file types) known file).  If you find it should list a default program that is used to open these files.  If it is incorrect, click on modify and check if the correct option is displayed.  Otherwise, click Browse and navigate to the executable for the program that is used to open these files (it must be installed on your system for the extension to show high and so that you can open the type of file).  If it is not then no program has installed on the system to add this extension to the list of file types and their associations, which is why it will not open.  You will have to perhaps download and install place of trade (or something to open their files) on your computer in order to open this file (check with commercial technical support room for further assistance).

  I hope this helps.

  To change the file association:
  1. click on start and type CMD
  2. in the list right click on CMD and click "Run as Administrator".
  3. use the following commands to * change * the file association.
  a. type SCS .crd = CardFile31, and then press on enter
  b. Type ftype = C:\Windows\CARDFILE CardFile31. EXE %1 and press enter
  4. double-click the Cardfile.CRD file. It should open in the map file.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  get new manually if you wish.
