How can I fix my Windows 7 file association problem and set the default values for the correct file?

Files do not open the appropriate program

The simplest is to restore your system settings for a time before the invalid associations have been set.

1 type the word restore in your Start menu, then choose restore system files and settings...
2 - Click Next, choose a date before the problem happens again, and then click Next
3. about 2 minutes later, you're all set.

    I am running Windows 7 Service Pack 1 Professional on an HP workstation.

    My computer has been set up to automatically install updates

    I have anti virus installed = Macaffe and it is up-to-date.

    My network printer has stopped working on the workstation, so I did a search and came up with a difficulty that says to turn on the Windows Firewall on and reinstall the network printer. I couldn't turn off the firewall, so I looked in my event log to see if there was something there.

    The event log shows that there is an update, but the Update Manager has been altered.

    I downloaded the update Fix - it program, and he could not solve the problem.

    I did a system restore to a date earlier, when updates were not working and tried to check the updates. I couldn't do that.

    I ran SFC could not fix all the problems, I posted the CBS and it shows that Appwiz.cpl could not be fixed.

    How can I fix it?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

    I understand the inconvenience caused to you and I will definitely help you.

    If you use the version of the Internet Explorer application, simply right click and uninstall and reinstall it should correct the problem.

    1. If you use the desktop version, click the gear icon at the top right and select Internet Options.
    2. Select the Advanced tab.
    3. In the reset Internet Explorer Section, click the Reset button to restore your browser to the original state.
    4. If this does not help, you can reinstall Internet Explorer 10, too.

    If this does not help, reply to this message.

  • Explorer Windows has encountered a problem and needs to close, sorry for the inconvenience into account only one user. Other user accounts properly.

    This problem deals with only one of my user accounts, where the user accounts function correctly.  When my wife logs in to his user account, it receives the error "windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close, sorry for the inconvenience."  No ICONS or deskbar charge upward; However, my daughter and my user account functions properly.

    I did a system successfully restore to a previous point, but the problem remains.

    If you are still having problems with Windows Explorer crashing, I suggest to consider the suggestion offered by ShadowKat:

    "Hello people, it seems that some guys out there are still having trouble with this random crashes. I have the same problem, except that it happens every time that I go to my media files on my NAS. It seems that there is a bug or something with windows that causes this problem when you access a folder to storage media like mine, especially when the size of the file is very large (archive all my discs of film there for convenience and continuous =), about 1 TB of data). Windows capable of generating thumbnail images for your files and blocks the Explorer as well.

    I solved this by going to my computer > click the "Organize" (upper-left) > folder and search options > view tab check "Show icons, never thumbnails" option and uncheck the "display file on the photos." This prevents windows to generate images and solved the problem for me. Less visually flashy Yes, but at least not need a cloth and restart is).
    I hope this helps and good luck!

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    WARNING: When Chkdsk detects problems with the file system and trying to repair the damage, data loss may occur. Microsoft does not recommend running Chkdsk with the /f command-line switch unless you have a full backup of your hard drive.

    Attempt to repair the damaged file, the folder or the file of index system using Chkdsk. To do this, follow these steps:

    a. click Startand then click run.

    b. in the Open box, type chkdsk /f :, where is the letter of the drive on which the file is damaged, the folder or the file system index exists.

    c. click OK.

    NOTE: If the hard disk is large, Chkdsk may take several minutes to several hours to complete.

    Important: When running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.

    I hope that the information above helps you.
