How can I change the file association in Windows XP

All my WORD documents and such are automatically saved in a WORDPAD document, how can I stop that?

While the file associations in windows do not address how a file should be opened,

It does not address how a file should be saved.

the method of saving in a program is controlled by this program.

Therefore, if you use word 2003, then you must change to save documents rtf to word documents.

try clicking on Word Tools Menu then Options file.

then under the tab backup, do not forget to select the right format for saving your documents, IE Word documents (* .docs).

  • How can I change the file type extension?

    Help please!

    I was working in Paint.net and thought that my changes have been saved but I incorrectly saved in Paint.net it as 'nom.1' and making it inaccessible to paint.net or any program being the type of file 'file '.  I then changed the name of "long.bmp", and who seemed like he did to be accessible but Paint.net is still not open it.  On another file that I made the same mistake on, I changed the name to "name2.pdn" that worked and I am able to open it properly.  I tried to change the name on the premiere of "name.pdn" in Windows Explorer, but for this file, it only changes the name "name.pdn" and not the extension.  It's always a ".bmp" file  How can I change to a file real '.pdn '?

  • How can I change the file name on the home page?

    I'm changing the file name of the home page...

    I'm on page properties > options > filename... but he is frozen as index.html

    Is there a way to change that and name it something else?

    Hello

    As most web servers consider index.html as the site's home page, the option is grayed out in Muse to rename indexes (homepage).

    How ever, you can go ahead and change the name to other pages in the site map.

  • How can I change the file permissions that are made in the other operating system on the same machine?

    Hi all

    I installed 2 operating in two different drives (drive C & D) systems in the same laptop.
    Recently I have re-installed the Windows7 operating system on drive C. And formatted the D drive. Now, I have a BONE in my system.
    Now the problem is, I can't open some video files (the names are colored in green) who says that you have no permissions.
    I found that "Encrypt contents to secure data" is enabled in advanced of this specific file properties.
    When I go to turn off this option, it says that you have no permissions. It shows the name of the owner as a previous user of the operating system
    in the other disk drive D (that I already formatted)
    How can I get out of this problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    If encryption is not involved (if you do not encrypt the files originally) and is just a file permissions problem - simply take possession of the files first and then change the permissions when your account has full permissions on the files/folders that you need.

    If you do not backup your encryption certificate and key encryption is involved, then the data are almost lost to you.

  • How can I change the icon associated with an external hard drive that is displayed in my computer

    When I double click the icon my computer on my Seagate external desktop hard drive does not display the correct icon. It displays a blank page with the upper right handed with a superimposed replica of a small screen.  I really want to show an icon that looks like the real thing as stated in the icons folder.

  • Windows Movie Maker-how can I change the file format?

    It's my first time using Movie Maker, and I edited a song from my iTunes library. I want to save it in mp3 format, but when I saved it, it wouldn't let me choose the file format. I went to the post, and he published automatically as a video. I just want the audio.

    How can I save it in mp3 format?

    Also, how can I open with iTunes? I managed to do save as just audio and click Open with > iTunes. But he comes to open iTunes. The song won't play.

    Transfer your music to the music and its Forum question.
    http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/vistamedia/threads

    PS Movie Maker is not for the recording of the songs, conversion of songs, etc. It is open with application.

    For files of music itumes, here are the choices...
    1. you need Quicktime or Real player to open and play.
    2. you can google for a free audio converter and convert your itumes songs in wma, mp3 or wav formats. Then, you can use Windows Media Player (NOT movie Maker) to play the songs.
    3. install a free media player called VLC. He plays almost all formats.

    Hi Halasz,

    You can get what you want to use, for example a/l FOR command from the command prompt:

    • [Win] + X
    • Command prompt
    • CD /D drive:------DirectoryWhereYourFilesAreStored
    • Type of / l %G in (1,1,100) @If are TEXT. %G Ren TEXT in the file. File G % File%G.txt, and then press [Enter]

    Notes

    1. Respect the %G everywhere capital elsewhere, the command will fail. If your decide to use "%g" instead of "%G" and then use "%g" everywhere for the same reason. You can also decide to use another letter...
    2. If you have more than 100 files replace the parameter appears in bold with the appropriate value.

    There is necessarily a way to do something smarter, but it would take a little thought and a batch development. Not sure whether what you need at the moment.

    Hope this helps at & meets your needs. If, so be sure to mark your post as answer, so this can help others... Thanks in advance.
