How do you clear a program 'open with' in Windows XP?
I got a file with a uknown origin program to open it. I selected a program from the list of options to open it with my computer and discovered that it was evil and that I would have kept the original status of 'unknown '. How to restore the program return to be a program of unknown file?
File associations generally associate the file extension with a program (the part of a filename after the last period). To remove an association:
- Double-click any file to open an Explorer window
- Select Tools-> Folder Options
- Click on the tab "File Types".
- Find the extension in the list window that corresponds to the extension of your file.
- Click to select
- Click on the button 'delete '.
- "OK" your way out

How can you get firefox to work with the windows subst command locally?
I want to test my Web site locally using the windows subst command to emulate the root of my site. It works perfectly with IE8 (except IE8 displays the different available to firefox) but does not work with Firefox. All images, sheets, styles and anything with a root path does not work. If I use a relative path (.. /.. / for example) to the objects that they works very well.

I think I know how to uninstall programs; However, how can you say that programs are essential to the functioning of my laptop and who are just garbage programs or programs that I rarely use. Some are obvious (such as games and other), but there is so much and I'm not computer savvy. Help, please. Give me a list for computer idiots or something. Thanx.

http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/3047-sfc-scannow-command-run-Windows-8-a.html
Read it in conjunction with the rest of the information they give link above.
Note
If SFC could not fix something, then run the new command to see if it can be able to next time. Sometimes, it can take by running the sfc/scannow command 3 times restart the PC after each time completely fix everything what he is capable of.
If this isn't the case, then run Dism/online/Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth to repair any corruption component store, restart the PC later and try the sfc/scannow command.
If still no, then try using ONE OPTION above to run the command sfc/scannow at the start
If still no, then you could do a Refresh of Windows 8, or run a System Restore using a restore point dated before the wrong file occurred to fix. You may need to repeat doing a restore of the system until you find a restore point that is older that may work.
If not yet, then you can use the steps in the TIP box in the section THREE OPTION to manually replace the files SFC could not fix.

Refresh your PC goes like this:
- The PC starts in Windows RE (Recovery Eenvironment).
- Windows RE scans the hard drive for your data, settings, and applications and puts them aside (on the same drive).
- Windows RE installs a new copy of Windows.
- Windows RE restores the data, settings, and applications, which it set aside in the newly installed copy of Windows.
- The PC reboots into the newly installed copy of Windows.

"When you reboot your PC, the drive will be completely reset and all your applications and your files will be removed it." Windows 8 will be reinstalled, and you need to change any settings, and then reinstall all the apps you want to come back after the reset. If you know if all the files you don't want to lose, then you must back up these files before you start resetting.
