Help to open all the video files in by default VLC

My PC has a variety of video files on it to .mkv, .avi, .wmv, and they all used to open in VLC. I'm not sure what I did, but now they won't, even if I put it as default front drive. Now, when I see them they are all open to various programs like DiVX, WMP, VLC, ect. When I click on open with > choose by default, I see now the strange pop-up "File Association Helper" instead, asking me if I want to search the web, learn more about the file window, or look through the windows. Selecting search via Windows opens the possibility to open files in VLC, but the "always use the selected program to open this type of file" is grayed out and impossible to click. Therefore, the following file, I open, I no longer jump through all the hoops, once again, or use any video player shit my PC thinks it wants to open with, regardless of what I want it to do. Does anyone know why this might be happening or how to fix? Thank you.

Don't know what went wrong, but it didn't this help - https://wiki.videolan.org/How_to_make_VLC_the_default_player - getting VLC returned as default?

Article MS to set default values and associations - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-default-programs#1TC=windows-7

You can also check to see if the problem occurs, i.e. the correct default file or this association of assistance file appears in a "clean Boot". If it works correctly in the boot, you can analyze as it is explained in the document. Remember to restore the normal startup after the test is finished.

It may be useful to update your AV package and run a full scan, and then to download, install, update and run a full scan with malwarebytesfree. It will not take too long and it should help to prove that your PC is 'clean', even if he doesn't find anything.

PS - Using WinZip? I did a quick search for "Association of File Helper" and this has arisen - http://www.shouldiremoveit.com/File-Association-Helper-95475-program.aspx that's what you found? I can't say with certainty that I have never met before. As I say just found on a quick Google.

    Suddenly my Elements 7 won't load all the video files saying not supported, I rebooted, uninstalled and reinstalled but it refuses to work any ideas please

    If you are video comes from a Hi8 camcorder, then it is analog, which has been digitized. And how and what facilities allowing you to scan this video may be important. But, since you say that you have changed this video before in Premiere Elements without a problem, I'll assume this isn't the question at the moment - although it could certainly be. Especially since you use a such relatively old version of Premiere Elements, one that requires you to manually configure your project.

    In fact, try to download the trial version of the latest version of Premiere Elements and see if you experience the same problem. The current versions of the program are many more automatically and are capable of managing a much wider range of video file formats. You don't have to buy the program. Just try free trial and see if you still experience the same problems.

    If nothing else, install the trial version 14 version COULD even repair what has been damaged in your codec library, if that's your problem in version 7.

  • How to open all the text files in a folder at a time so that they cross my VI in good order and the VI should only be run once per file?

    Hello

    I am currently looking to browse hundreds of text files my VI to run the VI once and having labview to open each text file in the order numberical that are contained in a single folder.

    In general, I ran each file one at a time through the VI, hours to browse all text files. I'm wondering if there is a way I can specify a target folder and then open each text file in the target folder and walked through my VI in numberical order (each file is located in the order that is MM_01, MM_02, MM_03...). Currently I open a file at the same time, through "the spreadsheet read", then the index table, and then run through filters etc to get the data I need. I hope there is a way to do it, because he will save days of work.

    In InDesign CS6, all files that have been opened when I leave the program open when I start. It is a hassle because I work with many open files and have no need of each open when I restart the program. It's rather annoying.

  • In Microsoft 2010 how you open all the worksheets at the same time in a folder? 'Open all' is not an option on right click.

    I need to open a month with a value of Excel spreadsheets in a folder. The only way I can understand them open is to open one at a time. My old version of Microsoft has an option 'open all' when I highlighted all the & right click. This is not an option in the 2010 version. I can't imagine that this is not an option in the latest version. Am I missing something?

    Open Excel, and then click file and 'open '. Navigate to the folder containing your Excel files, and select all the worksheets, that you want to open. You can drag a rectangle around them, use control + click, or use SHIFT + click to select more than one. And then click Open. It should open all the excel files.

    I would recommend that you download and install K-Lite Codec pack from here.


    Download K-Lite Codec Pack

    Get either the Standard or complete package to halfway to the bottom of the page. There is a package tailor-made for 64-bit if your Windows 7 is that the flavor. The 64-bit package is not always necessary, as most of the programs are still 32-bit.

    Looks like your user profile has been corrupted in some way and XP connected to a new profile.  This means that when you connect, you see one of your stuff and can be also lack all the other programs you may have installed previously.

    Note that the system restore do not know or care about the personal files on your system.

    Unless there's a disaster or instead of a system restore you done a system recovery files would be still on your system somewhere - you just find them... and when you find them, you can correct what happened.  If you have made a recovery of the system instead of a system restore, then all is lost and you need to recover from a backup.

    Have you performed a search of Windows to see if you can find some of these photos and files?    For example, you could search for something like "Resume.doc" or a file name that you remember exactly to see if it is anywhere on your system and where it is.

    Why don't you get in Windows Explorer and (assuming that XP is installed on your C drive), navigate to this folder:

    C:\Documents and Settings

    Below, you will see that each user on your system has their own folder for their personal belongings.  You will see also some folders listed user that you do not recognize, but that's normal.

    Under the folder of each user, there is another folder, as "Documents of Jose" and under this 'Jose music' and «De Jose Pictures»  Dig a little and check them all to see if you can find your missing stuff.

    Just take a look in the Control Panel, add/remove programs to see if "missing" programs are still installed, but all not available when you are logged in (you don't have to 'do' something - just look at).

    Assuming that you can find your missing stuff, determine where we (which will make feel you better knowing that it is not really gone), then report back and someone can help you straighten things.
