  Change default programs using Set Program Access and computer defaults

• "this file does not have a program associated with it" message when you insert the sd card

  When I insert an SD card into my computer, I get a message that says f:\ that this file does not have a program associated with it... I know I can set default programs with the types of files in the Control Panel, but how do you recognize what to do when I insert an SD card in the computer?

  Windows 7
  The problem is caused by the automatic game changing options, this can sometimes happen when you install a new program, but they can easily be changed back. Click 'start' at the bottom left, go into "default programs" on the right side of the list (under computer / doc/images etc.) select "Change AutoPlay settings.
  You will find prob some of the sections had the new auto run program, just edit those you want (or all) "ask me every time", you will find that when you insert an sd card, you get the options normal download, copy, etc. as usual.

  Hi, blixy16.

  First of all, I suggest that ensure you that your computer is virus-free.  You can start with themalicious software removal tool. Additional suggestions are available in the forum topic Microsoft Answers "How to get rid of malware .

  As a result, to determine if the problem you are experiencing is caused by one or more system files that are used by Windows, run the System File Checker tool. The System File Checker tool analyzes the system files and replaces incorrect versions of system files by using the correct versions.

  To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

  • Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.
  • Right click on cmd in the list programs, and then click Run as administrator.
  • If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue
  • At the command prompt, type the following line and press ENTER:
    sfc/scannow (note the space before the backslash)
  • When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved.

  Original title: problem e mail

  I click on the links in the email and get a box that says: "this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action" and the link cannot be opened.

  Suggestions;

  1. make sure that your e-mail program is your default program.

  2. make sure that your Internet Explorer, or your main browser has all its faults.

  You can do both of the above by following these steps...

  Start button > right column, click default programs > click Set Your Default programs...

  1. click on your e-mail program > it doesn't say "this program has all its defaults"?
  If not, click on choose by default for this program > check all boxes below the list > click on save when finished.

  2 do the same as above for your Internet Explorer, or your main browser.
