  Hi all

  Help needed please.

  HP dx2250 microtower, running Windows Vista Home Basic Edition, recently attacked by Vista Antispyware 2010. Norton 360 V3 dealt with rather late the virus, but the fall of the remains.

  I am unable to open any .exe file (program) on the desktop, start menu, or through the browser. I can access the programs in opening a data file, for example, double-click a .doc file opens MS Word, etc.

  The error message "this file has no program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the control panel to define the Associations. "

  I tried an automated solution that is available via the forums (exefix_cu.reg) and also a manual suggestion to change the registry, also available through the forum.

  I also splashed by and purchased Regcure, who seems to have done no difference despite who claims to have removed 1500 odd errors. So I'll be request the refund on that one.

  I scanned the forums and found a large number of similar problems, but not one that is as complete as this.

  Any help much appreciated

  Original title: Office OneNote

  Help.  I've just updated for Office 2013 and got this message when you try to access the OneNote.  What do this mean and what do I do about it?

  Just a thought, have you tried right-clicking on the file you are trying to open and then, in the drop-down menu, click Open with, then follow these steps:

  1. another box will appear with the legend how do you want to open this file.

  2. look in the list available to see if OneNote is there. If it isn't, click on the arrow to other programs on the right and again look in the list. If you still can't find OneNote, click the browse option to browse you programs.

  3. look in the left pane and click the folder C: Local drive.

  4. now scroll down and find the Program Files (x 86) folder and double-click it.

  5 another list will now populate.

  6. search for Microsoft office and click two times on that.

  7. now look towards the bottom of the list which provides and click Office 15.

  8. here is another list. Check out this list until you get to OneNote.exe.

  10. click on this and then your file must be associated with the OneNote program.

  11. now, try and open the file to see if it will open in OneNote.

  Sorry the instructions are a little long-winded.

  Original title: file Association.

  File association.  I am trying to create a delivery company in a direct line between doba.com, and ebay.  I get an error when I try to export.  The error "this file has no program associated with it for performing this action.  An association in the SET ASSOCIATIONS of Crete Control Panel.  I don't know how to do this.

  Great, I can help you right now.  Just open your C:\Users\Peggy\Downloads folder.  While you're looking at him, make a right click on the file icon and choose 'Open with', then "Choose program" you can get the Notepad in the list.

  Here is an example. This example is Windows 7, so it seems a little different, but the steps are the same:

  1. Right click on the file
  2. Go to "open with".
  3. Choose "Notepad."  If Notepad is not listed, use the option "choose by default" to find Notepad instead.

  This will open the file for you to view the data inside.

  

• Error "this file has no program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the control panel of the associations' when trying to read the video files on the CD

  Original title: file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action.

  I make a business card CD on Auto Play Studio 8. I have completed the project and burned the cd to test on different computers. When I clicked on the 'Video game' button, I get this warning. "This file has no program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the control panel of the associations' Ok I made the proper action to take, and I still get the same problem. I did this on a XP pro, Vista and 7 PC.

  
  Hi NoPCgeek,
   
  1. what program do you use to read the file present on the CD?
  2. What is the format of the file present on the CD?
   
  Before playing the files on the CD, make sure you cross check if you have the right program installed on the computer. If you have not installed the right program, then we recommend you to install the program that supports the file type and use them to read the files on the CD.
   
  You can also change the default program to read this file. The program opens the file only if the file format is supported by the latter.
  See Change that uses default Windows programs

  I suggest to change the default program and check.

  How to change or choose the program that starts when you double-click a file in Windows XP

• Attachments: "this file has no program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the control panel to define the Associations. "

  When I click on some attachments a box that says: "this file has no program associated with it for performing this action.  Create an association in the control panel to define the Associations. "  I don't know how to do this (if I'm unable to view these attachments).

  How to do would be to install the appropriate program to open attachments if it is not installed, if it is installed the easiest to set the association would be to save a copy of the file on the desktop, right-click and select "open with...". "in the context menu, and then select the appropriate program if it is shown in the dialog box or use search to find it if it is not.
