• The Associations of all feature works not just for some file types

  I'm having some problems with the functionality of all Associations, located in the section default programs in Control Panel.  There are a number of types/protocols files that are set up to be opened with the wrong default programs.  When I go to change the program, the browse option doesn't let me choose the program I want.  One of the files I'm having this problem with is the .docx file.  I want to put in place to make the default Microsoft Word program, but he keeps recommending Microsoft Word Viewer and will not let me choose Microsoft Word on my computer.  I know this isn't a major problem and that the files can be opened by Word by using other methods.  It's just annoying, and it bothers me when something does not work on my computer.  A lot of files/protocols are also unknown application listed under the column of default program.  I know that is not normal.  Any of you know what is the cause?

• Icons of file type for the .docx files are incorrect

  I started with a version of Microsoft Excel and Word Starter on my computer, but once I started University, I had to install a trial version of Office Professional. Since I installed the trial version and then uninstalled the starter version, my icons of file type for the .docx files resemble white pieces of paper. However, all other types of files shows an icon of Microsoft Word, such as for example .rtf files. Only the .docx icons are incorrect on the hard drive of the computer and to a flash drive I carry school (icons are correct on the flash drive on the school computers).

  I noticed several instances of this question which arises and have tried the following:

  (1) I gone through Control Panel and repair of Microsoft Office Professional 2010 (and restarted the computer).
  (2) I tried to check the default program for the .docx file type and he was placed to Microsoft Word. I have reset WordPad and return to the floor, but that did not always help.
  (3) I tried the command refresh of Cache icon through the Run dialog box.
  4) went through the registry to check the icon for docxfiletype, but my problem with this is that the icon for Microsoft Word is not a default system icon.
  I don't know what else I could try to fix this and I really should leave him alone because my files opens properly, but I think it's very boring and for some reason any he just in general that bothers me.
  Any other suggestions would be welcome!

  sacurasaturn, the professional office changed the icon to its own icon. they think it's better

  You can soothe just automatically change the icon back manually or if you want to be the original or even a custom of your choice

• Check the file type after JavaScript File.openDialog ()...

  So I am on Mac OS and want my script obviously cancel on the bottle of 'Cancel', but also check if the selected file is a PDF file. I had some success with the code below, but some PDF, I select get cancelled with this script. While they inspected, the FilePath.type property returns "?" for some PDF files - anyone know why?

  var myFilePath = File.openDialog("Please choose a PDF file...", undefined, false);
  if((myFilePath == "") || (myFilePath == null)){
      exit();
  }
  else if(myFilePath.type != "PDF "){
      alert("Please choose a PDF file!") ;
      exit();
  }
  

  I'm quite new to scripting. Thank you!

  On Windows, all you can do is provide a file extension (the well-known "*.") PDF filter"), and it is wise to always add the catch-all" *. " ' * ' to 'all files '. In this way, a user can select a file, even if she has a bad job (and in this case, it is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the file is of the type expected nonetheless).

  Under OSX, there are two options:

  1. the file has the correct ' Creator/Type' metadata; and/or

  2. the file has the correct file extension.

  Historically, focused on the Macintosh OS used option #1 and software should not look at the actual file names. However, who soon became unfeasible when people tried to share files between Mac and (almost all) other systems. That lead to various tools to "attribute" Data Type/Creator of known file extensions, so they can be opened with the right software on Mac. Also the reverse that's happened; saving a file "without extension" on a Mac was not a problem, but to open it in Windows, you often had to add the right extension.

  So, somewhere around one or two versions of the system there, Apple has decided to return to the old, trust "File Extension." But OSX still records the Type/Creator metadata for files created on your Mac. Control of the 'type' should work then - but the problem is, what happens if you got your file also? The extension may be correct, but if she has any type of file, your script won't see it.

  Fortunately, the open a Mac OS x file dialogue box allows some pretty wicked customizations. Never forget a file filter, you can run a custom function which decides for each separate file and the folder should be adjustable or not. The function has access to all the file attributes. You can go up to check the name of the file and dismiss all files that contain a 'q', or the files are read-only, or that are smaller than 1 KB.

  Check out this piece of code (I wrote it myself, but various tips and tricks have been played on this same forum):

  if (File.fs == "Windows")
      pdfFile = Folder.myDocuments.openDlg( 'Load PDF document', "Adobe PDF:*.pdf,All files:*.*", false);
  else
      pdfFile = Folder.myDocuments.openDlg( 'Load PDF document', function(file) { return file instanceof Folder || (!(file.hidden) && (file.name.match(/\.pdf$/i) || file.type == "PDF ")); }, false );

• I set firefox to open a file type (.) SGF) w / a program, but it doesn't, so I put it to save/apply and no work option, it always opens file link in a new tab.

  I went into Options and set the. SGF with Smartgo open file. He refuses to do. Clicking on a link to one. SGF file simply open the file as a text in a new tab.

  Given that it did not work, I tried to get firefox to download instead, because then I can open it using the window file type associations. It will not download the file, unless I actually do a right-click and save-as in the link.

  It is tedious when displaying a lot of these files. I even put it to wonder after seeing the download option did not work. He don't ask me. What happens here?

  Also, I use firefox 23

  EDIT: It seems to be the specific Web site. Some sites will allow me the option to open it in Smartgo, others just it open in a tab in the form of text. What is causing this gap and can it be overcome thanks to the browser settings?

  A sample Web site to highlight the issue is:
  http://igokisen.Web.FC2.com/WR/LG.html
  clicking on one of these links will not download, open, or ask questions about what you want to do with the file.

  What happens if the server sends the file as text/plain.
  You can see if you open "tools > Page Info > general": Content-Type: text/plain

  Somehow all my folders of changed files option.  Instead of the folder when you click it, it opens the search.

  I know where and what to change, just do not know how.  Under Tools > folder options > file types, I select "files" and click "Advanced".  Of course, it says 'find '.  I click on 'new' under 'action', I type 'open', but what should I put under "Application used to perform action:"?  It won't let me not leave the field empty.  When I looked to see how it was done in 'file', 'edit' is gray.  I tried to look on other computers, but everyone has Vista, Vista doesn't even have a tab "file type" under folder options and I couldn't find it anywhere else.

  Even if you don't know the answer, if you could look to see what it says on your computer and let me know.  Like I said could not find on Vista, I am running XP.

  Yes, I know that I can do a right click on the folder and open it, and that's what I do.  It really happened to be a pain in the you-know-what.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

• How can I add a php file type?

  I use windows xp. There was a file type "php" but used with 'Print Shop quick print' which I removed because of the conflict. I want the "php" that is used with "hyper text preprocessor. I tried just to add "php" as a new type of file, but without any criteria, I don't think that it is recognized.

  What do you do with your php files?  What application you want to use to handle (for example, modify) them? Normally, the php files are used by php on a web server engine. If you want to edit or create php files, you can use the Notepad Notepad ++or application such as Dreamweaver web development.

  Assuming that you have an application in mind that you want to use to open the php files, the best thing to do is:

  • Find a php file
  • Right-click on it and select open with > choose program
  • Locate the executable file of the application you want to use
  • Check the box "always use this program to open this type of file.
  • Click OK

  Reason why I ask this is I just do a fresh install of Windows XP with SP2 and I installed SP3 after that on an old computer that was in need of a new facility. I continued to get the AutoPlay window I went to the CD and DVD players and set everything to TAKE NO ACTION. I wonder if I made a mistake by doing this. I was half way tempted to do the same for drive C, but I did not.  Is there something I can do to correct what I do that I should not have?

  The [NONE] you're referring to means that there are has file extensions associated with things such as Audio CDs, disks and DVDs.

  A "file extension" is the 3-(4-parfois) part of a file name that comes after the period character.  For example, in "Document.doc" file extension is doc.

  Made settings were - as you noted correctly - in the AutoPlay dialog box.  These settings determine what Windows does when a removable storage device is connected.  Depending on the type of multimedia content detected on the device, you can choose from a variety of "Manipulative Autoplay" to deal with this content.

  "Take no action" is not a bad default.

  If you want to change your mind, open my computer and right-click on the icon for a CD/DVD/USB device and select the tab "Autoplay".  You can choose from a variety of types of "content" and then choose which application should open.  For more flexibility, TweakUI--> http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/downloads/windows-xp or see

  A number of things could happen here.

  Have you installed all necessary drivers after you reinstalled Windows?

  Have you installed an antivirus application before connecting to the Internet?

  Have you applied all post-sp3 Windows critical updates before you begin to surf the Internet?

  Did you uninstall the trial versions of software antivirus which have been replaced (unless your new Windows installation was a "clean install")?

• Another PC, same software, missing file Type Options

  I just switched to another PC in my office and copied on Microsoft Photo Editor from my previous machine.  On this machine, I regularly used this software to open it. PCX files.  On this machine, the Photo editing software does not recognize. PCX as a file type.  Is there something I can do for that change?  This is the same version of the software, so I don't understand why this is happening.

  P.S. I discovered other programs that will be open. PCX files, but I can't find them almost as easy to use.

  It seems that the Photo Editor is an integral part of earlier versions of Microsoft Office (it disappeared in more recent versions).  According to the following articles, it seems that it takes a graphic filter 'PC Paintbrush' to work with the format PCX with the Office Suite.  Photo Editor may require this as well...

• FILE cannot BE DELETED, the file size of the file type 'file' "0 bytes"

  Thank you Ganesh and Hetti.  I just finally deleted my ghost file.  I used the safe mode and cmd.

  I went into the directory of downloads in the BACK, the used command DIR / X to find out the name of the file.

  He was ~ 1 at the end of the file name.   I used DEL filename ~ 1 and the file disappeared.  I checked the

  trash and he wasn't there either.  I rebooted the computer and found no trace of the file.

  The controls were as follows,

  CD C:\users\my name\downloads

  dir / x (to find the full file name,)

  del (to remove the file)

  I could probably use alternative command

  del *. *.

  Thank you again and maybe it helps someone else.  I ran the control with the repair disc, but that did not remove the ghost file.  I could also not delete the downloads folder.  Create the same named file with 0 bytes not working anymore.  I tried the latest version of Mandrake then.
