How to add a new program to the list of default programs available

I need to know how to add the Adobe Acrobat program, that I just installed on my laptop in my default directory because when I go to default programs in Control Panel, it is not in the list of available programs.  It is not a problem of computer in danger, but it is really annoying to not be able to double-click on a data file to open it in the appropriate program.  I'd appreciate any help, thanks!

If the program is not listed, you can force it is always the default value using a file that is used.

Since it's Adobe Acrobat, here is how to do it.

  1. Do right click any Adobe PDF file and choose Open with, choose the default program, and then search for and select the program Adobe Acrobat is the default value.
  2. It is not really a step 2, but at this stage, that the selection will be used whenever you double-click on a PDF file.

    I regularly download a wide variety of files based on text using Firefox. Most of the time, I want to open it with Notepad ++. Before, after, I opened the first file using Notepad ++ (selected through her Browse... button), the application are in the auxiliary list "choose the Application".

  • How to add a new language to the language and region of the Panel

    Hello
    Setting preferences in Mac OS X, I could ' t help noticing the huge amount of languages available in the Mac OS X El Capitan. Located in same languages like Klingon, Navajo and Latin - and of course, this looks like a great tribute to the rich diversity of languages in humanity. However, Mac OS X El Capitan still missing a language - my own. How can I add another language to the language and region of the Panel? How Klingon and Latin is?
    Of course, I have this Internet search, but nine out of ten results were some tutorials explaining how to add an EXISTING language to the ones I already have.

    Thank you.

    Rui Valente

    You just 'Add' a language. You would have to edit all applications to create strings of replacement for all menus, dialog messages, buttons, etc., that it doesn't translate from one language to the other. Each application has a list of strings mapped to the display string for each supported language. The localized string replaces the generic string in the user interface element.

    You can try to contact Apple and volunteer to locate the operating system, they would have confidence in you (unlikely) or hire a person to validate your work.

  • How to add a new line in the JavaScript editor?

    I have a script like this:

    var n = this.getField("score").value;

    If (n > = 0 & & n < 5) {}

    Event.Value = "The WP 100% Bond\nThe 10% Stock WP / 90% Bond\nThe WP 20% Stock / 80% Bond."

    }

    I want out of this line as...

    The leap from 100% WP

    The Stock of 10% WP or the Bond of 90%

    The Stock of 20% of WP or 80%

    But it's not to honor the \n for a newline. How in the heck can you add a new line? I tried \r, \r\n, \n\n. It is to add a space character and looks like this...

    The leap from 100% WP WP 10% Stock or the Bond of 90% 20% of WP Stock or Bond of 80%

    You can use \n like you did to indicate a new row or \r (carriage return). If this does not work, be sure to set the Multiline field on the Options tab of the field properties dialog box.

  • How to add a new dimension in the ASO cube without losing all the data

    Hello

    I have an ASO cube with 18 dimensions and I want to add a new (regular). When I add this new dimension he asked me that data all have cleared out before the restructuring can take place. If I click Yes then I would lose all data, regardless of the fact if I export Level0 or not. Because when I tried to reload the export in the cube, he gave me a cause of error all the sides were not present export. Does anyone know how I would be able to accomplish this task?


    Thank you
    Mickael

    You can try this work around solution.

    (1) export data from Lev0
    (2) delete the cube
    (3) add the new regular dimension.
    (4) add a default member Reg00 in the new dimension and save.
    (5) open Lev0 data in a text editor, insert 'Reg00' at the beginning of the file and enter.
    (6) Lev0 file will first record 'Reg00' and the remaining export file will be of the second disk.
    (7) load the file changed with a rules file.

    You can check all your history data will be loaded w.r.to the Reg00 of the new regular dimension.

    Akshay, please indicate which version of jdev you use.

    Do you mean that you have a table that is embedded in a panelCollection? then the panelCollection have a menu of facets that you can activate by dropping a menu as a child a menuItem. This menu will appear next to the other menu existing menu. The property of action or actionListener menuItem points to the same action button points to.

  • How to add a new Protocol and manipulation program?

    I want to register a new Protocol (' news: ') and make Windows Mail (Yes, I got it working after playing a bit...) the default program to handle this Protocol.

    Michael

    Hello Mmo17,

    (a) what program you are trying to set as the default program?

    With regard to the concern on the new entry. Your file association creates new files for your default program. Once you define the program by default.

    I suggest you to refer the below mentioned link which gives you all the info of the evolution of the default programs and set file association.
