Default program

Hello, running a Windows 7 laptop. Common problem, frequently asked question:

Initially, I was opening a file "wmlp. I messed up the settings and now my default program to open all my files is 'Microsoft Word 2010' (at the moment). I am aware that I have the opportunity to change that, but every time I do (with the box checked in the prompt on the choice of which program you want to use to open the file and others related to it), is to change to the default program for * all * of my files.  Google results had people with the same problem, but I thought I could get direct assistance here if I asked my question as I wanted it too. The "recommended programs" to open files is not a behavior either. There is a simple way to solve this problem, I'm sure of that, but I really need step by step directions. Thank you and my apologies for the long paragraph.

Hello Nporro

At the file "wmlp" a shortcut to the file? I ask because I came across a Microsoft Answers post who described the similar scenario and has worked for some people. In this case, the problem is that a shortcut .lnk file was his association has changed to always open in Word. As these shortcuts to applications, would open in Word.
Why all my programs and files open with Microsoft word?

If you read the other posts, some users also followed an alternative job and have found success. Let me know if the problem persists.

  • In "set your default programs" under Win7, file associations of Firefox are altered.

    "Set your default programs" in the control panel of Windows 7, Firefox appears in the list of "Programs" on the left. But its icon is that of Windows Media Player.

    After I click on the name of the program (Firefox) to see the details on the right, I noticed that Firefox icon becomes that of Windows Media Player, also. And "Mozilla Corporation" becomes "Microsoft Corporation".

    If I click on "Set this program as default", files of these types are opened by Windows Media Player, no Firefox:
    htm, html, shtml, xht, xhtml.

    So I must manually associate these file types Firefox to "associate a type of file or Protocol with a specific program.

    To resolve this problem, should what registry entries I change?

    You can try to uninstall and reinstall Firefox, perhaps as an administrator.

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

    Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

    Uninstall your current version of Firefox, if possible, the settings in the software security and cleaning of the Windows registry.

    • Do NOT remove the data personal when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because all profile files will be deleted and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords from other versions of Firefox profiles.

    Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

    • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.

    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but make sure that 'delete personal data' is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

  • Cannot change default programs as an administrator

    I opened the JPEG files for the past 6 months with a program called FSViewer, but yesterday when I did it, the file is opened with a Windows program that is basically useless. I tried to reset the default value, but the program, FSviewer will not appear in the list once I selected it, I tried also in Control Panel by using the Folder Options. Does not allow me to change it. If I log in as a guest or with another account, no problem, I can change the default program, but it only works in other accounts and not as my main account, which is also administrator of the computer. I also tried to change another account limited to the administrator of the computer, and it allows me to change the default settings of the program without problem. If I change my main account to limited, it still does not change the default program. I guess I could remove the primary account/computer Manager, and start again, but I'd rather not. I am able to download and install programs, but not able to change the default programs.

    How can I get my main account to change default programs?

  • Windows Live Mail does not present as an option for default programs or in the Start Menu.

    Something happened this week. I can't identify enough exactly when so I can't say with certainty whether or not it is the new update of 2011.

    I use Windows Live Mail (desktop application) for the mail. It is installed and since I built the machine first. I've recently updated for 2011 through Windows Update. In the Start Menu, the default e-mail link no longer works. If I go to customize, I have the options of Windows Mail, Windows Live Mail, and Outlook. If I select Windows Live Mail, it launches a web browser to go to live.com and use Hotmail (which I don't use).

    Now, if I choose Windows Mail, and then re - open Windows Live Mail manually, I can set it by default. In this case, when I go back into the Start Menu, the link is there but empty and you get a message that "the selected item is not available. It might have been moved, renamed, or deleted. You want to remove from the list? "I can't get around that. Under "Default programs" in the Control Panel, Windows Live Mail is not yet there. It's as if she is not yet installed, and whatever the shortcut points to (wherever it may be) is apparently nothing. In the registry, under HKLM/Software/customers/Mail, there is no key for 'DLLPath' and "LocalizedString" as there are other programs.

    I must point out that repair installation does not help and neither does file and reinstalling.

    I managed to solve the problem.  I received an email from another user and I'm sorry to say, I do not remember what were the instructions in the email.  The answer to (y) our problem used to exist on the web, until Microsoft has removed the old answers live site, or something like that.

    IIRC, I believe that it was fixing the misdirected registry keys.
