HELP, file association a mess

Similar Questions

• Manage file associations

  I started to get the message that an associated help file is not found when I try to open a pdf file. I found instructions that say I should go to tools/options, select the content and then in the section file types, select manage. But there is no file under content types section. Where the new Firefox moved the section types of file - I can't find it anywhere.

  Hello

  In your Options dialog go to the Applications tab. You can manage your file associations there.

  Note that if you're still having problems with your file associations, you may have a corrupted file mimetypes.rdf . You can go to your profile to rename Centennial mimetypes.rdf or something so that Firefox can rebuild and restore all of your default associations.

  Hi Bala,

  Depending on your use case, I suggest you call the next VI, which comes with LabVIEW, after your purchase VI is the creation of the data file.  Just pass the data file path in the upper part of entry and your path to the VBScript file in less than entry.

Any, repeat any direct click or dbl - click here for any .exe program, even in the quick launch area, Control Panel, etc., get this msg.  Any help is appreciated.

• .exe file association broken

  So, recently, my wife downloaded a Trojan horse that I could so successfully for the cleaning of the computer. However, he left a small problem: my association of .exe file is invalid or broken. Any time I try to open an .exe file, I wonder I want to open it with. When I saw first, I said to open "iexplore.exe" with IE. That did not work. There are .exe files, I don't know even what they look like, "ssvagent.exe" who wants to open every time that IE tries to open with IE.

  There are a few ways around this, but nothing that will work for everyone or would really be a solution permanent. I can open a Word file by double-clicking on the document, but not by opening Word first. I can not open IE by clicking on the shortcut, but I can't it by opening my an article on my RSS.

  From what I understand, it is a registry error - but I can't launch registry patches since I have to open them with a .exe file. I am at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  OK, nevermind. I went to http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/105/1/File-association-fixes-for-Windows-Vista.html and downloaded the appropriate fix. However, I thought I would leave this here in case anyone else was as stupid as me.

  Thanks anyway.

  My laptop has been the antivirus pro 2010 Vista virus and after its withdrawal completely my file associations do not work. Whenever I click on something, he opens the window "open with."

• . Lost exe file association: need a permanent solution

  About 5-6 months, I had a problem with a .exe file association. I could not open any programs (gadgets sidebar, Skype, msn, etc.). I searched through many solutions which work.
  I downloaded Microsoft Fix It ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950505MicrosoftFixit50194) which is supposed to fix the exe solution. In addition, before this, I used a patch of file from a website called .exe association: http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/105/1/File-association-fixes-for-Windows-Vista.html
  The use of the file association fix modified .exe registry HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT exefile (default) value given in "Application". Then, after some requests for windows support, he said to transform the value '%1' % *.

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_vista-windows_programs/unable-to-open-exe-files/039ceca1-c81f-4136-8c04-bf13c0378495

  Can I use the MicrosoftFixit, restart my computer, and then wait for maybe 5 minutes, and my programs load early upward. The fix would last maybe a few weeks and he was coming back, I would do the same thing and I fix it again. It happened maybe 4 - 5 times in the past months.
  Now, just recently, whenever I restart my computer, the .exe problem. So I would continue to use the current method, I do and after a long time (maybe 30-45 minutes - it happened more time because my computer is slowing down - for some reason), it works again (until I open my computer where he would once again). I need a PERMANENT solution to this .exe problem where I cannot open any programs. I system restored but it still has the problem after each relog in. Thank you for helping.

  Reitarate, I need a permanent solution to the .exe file association problem because the problem keeps coming back even if I fix it, after each relog in... Help, please

• Vista not recognizing not not Photoshop as the default file association

  After loading Adobe CS5 Creative Suites, I can't Vista recognize Photoshop as my default for images more. After the implementation of the default programs (illustrator is in this list) and finding no Photoshop in the main list, or the list of other programs, I browse and find Photoshop CS5.exe and click on use this as my default, nothing happens. It is not recognized at all. Only (weird thing) Vista recognized it for opening .bmp and Photoshop has been listed as a program for this parameter. It will not recognize Photoshop for default opening of the .jpg, .jpeg, gif and tiff. It would really help find a solution for what I use Photoshop in my work. Thank you.

• bit torrent file associations

  Hey guys, I was wondering just because I have the same problem except that all my programs have been redirected to opening through bittorent and may not open at all. So my problem is that I can not open the command or whatever it is with an extension and simply do not understand what to do to fix via bittorent or something. its says could not load "program" invalid torrent file, but they are not torrents, I don't know what to do. Please help im begging you this is a new old pc for a few weeks.

  Waiting for answer,
  Steven

  Hello Steven,

  Thank you for posting.  I've shared you post because it was not tied to the thread that had posted you in.  The fix easier to your problem would be to uninstall your torrent client and then reinstall it.  This should reset file associations so that they open properly.

  Please let me know if this helps you. Zack
