How to add an on the screen "choose program to open with?"

I have a user who is trying to edit an image with adobe illustrator 4 but it is not filling in the list.  They have this program on the pc, but it does not show in the drop down menu.  I thought that there was a way that you can "add a program" on the screen "choose a program to open with", I just can't remember how, or maybe I'm just out of it.  Am I right or wrong?

Hello

If you don't see the program you want to associate the file, you can click on browse, it will take you to program files. From there, you can scroll down to the appropriate program and associate.

For more information, see this link:

It will be useful.

    Hi Charlotte,.

    If you can access the internet somehow, if you are using Vista, go to http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/22/reset-and-fix-broken-windows-vista-file-ext-and-type-associations-include-exe-com-sys-zip-lnk-folder-drive/ and scroll to the EXE and click or double-click it to run the program to restore EXE file associations. Once done, do the same for LNK entry. That should restore your programs.

    If you use Windows 7, go to http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/19449-default-file-type-associations-restore.html. If you are using XP, go to http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • How can I turn off the screen on W4 - 820 without putting it to sleep?

    Whenever I press the power button, the Tablet goes to sleep. I know what is happening because, in the power options > power settings button > sleep is selected to "on battery" and "on".

    The question is how can I just disable the screen without leaving the tablet to go into a deep sleep? Its a big problem and really frustrating that it stops all make... even a break torrentz copy of data and breaks.

    Also I went into the settings advanced under power options and tried to change the settings "turn off the display of", but whatever number I put here, the same is my settings "sleep after".

    I don't know how to solve this problem. Can someone please? Thanks in advance!


  • How can I get to the screen to insert the DNS settings? Printer continues to fall from the network

    Windows 7

    Photosmart 6520

    How can I get to the screen to insert the DNS settings? Wireless network printer continues to fall.

    The screen to manually set the DNS and IP parameters is in the SAP, or shipped to the printer Web server.  To access this page, it will take the IP address of the printer.  This information is found by pressing the icon on the front of the Photosmart 6520 wireless.

    Once again, we have the IP address, and then they could type this information in the address bar of their favorite browser.

    On another thread, you have mentioned the difficulties getting to the Web integrated printer server.  It is possible that the printer has a valid IP address, but still has no "communication" with the router.  Have you tried to enter the menu of the 6520 wireless and default network selection.  After having done that, then we can re - run the Wireless Setup Wizard in the wireless menu to reconnect the printer to the network.

    With this new valid IP address, you can access SAP of the printer?  In addition, make sure that the printer and the PC are connected to the same network access point.  Let me know how it goes.

    Two ways:

    (1) by design, as it has always been with all versions of Windows, press copy the entire screen, including the wallpaper desktop, in the Clipboard (iow, in RAM).  By pressing + of only copies the active window to the Clipboard.  To view the screenshot, open a graphics program, such as MS Paint and press + V.  This will paste the contents of the Clipboard (your screenshot) in the file open and allows you to view or save it as a file for later use.

    (2) as long as you have a newer version of Vista as the Home Basic edition, you can use the Snipping Tool.  (Start > all programs > Accessories).

  • How to add text to the file selected?

    I mean this in the nicest way possible, but it's very wacky workspace you put in place there. Create titles is muuuuch easier in the standard workspace Edition. When you create / open a title in the editing workspace, he creates a floating large window with the title of all the members of panels. It is about the only time I am ok with windows in the first floating. You will create the title in the window title, and then close the window title entirely. The video for the title will then be in your project Panel (which you can not common to see in your current workspace configuration, but will be very apparent in the workspace standard edition in the lower left). So the best thing to do is to simply drag the title element of the project to sequence Panel (another Panel today, you don't see in your current workspace arrangement.
