How to associate a file downloaded to a program

Original title: opening downloads

Downloads Microsoft asking what to open it with. What should I choose and how can I learn this? Specifically Windows 8 Upgrade Advisor, Malicious Software Removal Tool, MicroSoft .net Framework 4 etc.

Hello

What version of Internet Explorer is installed on the computer?

Different types of files will open with different applications. For example, a .pdf file will open with Adobe Reader, a video file such as mpeg, avi, usually opens with Windows Media player.

Entries that must be installed before they can be executed must be downloaded with the Save or Save asoption. Once the download is complete, you'll need to install the application. Double-click the installation file usually with the name of the software removal.exe. Double-click the .exe file to install the application. Follow the wizard to display on.

  • How to reference a file downloaded from a theme css

    Hello

    I downloaded a css file that I want to use for my login page. However, how I reference the header section in my login page? I know to reference the images uploaded with #WORKAPCE_IMAGES #, when I try as below, it doesn't seem to work.
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="#WORKAPCE_IMAGES#login.css" type="text/css" />
    Thank you
    Andrew

    Its me asking to download and this is the correct css file that I downloaded. Makes me wonder that the image is obviously not read. I'm referencing the image properly in the CSS so as #WORKSPACE_IMAGES #background.png.

    No, it is not possible to use the substitution #WORKSPACE_IMAGES # CSS files. This has been discussed for years (for example + {: identifier of the thread = 419889} + and + {: identifier of the thread = 986329} +)...

    If the file system are not accessible and download files to #WORKSPACE_IMAGES # is the only possible approach (as seems to be the case here), then the CSS rules that reference images must go into page templates or HTML page headers, as described in the above discussions. Remove the background image the file rule and re-create it in the model of login page or the connection header HTML page such as:

    
    
  • How can I move files downloaded (e.g. mp3) in a folder

    I downloaded music files using the version of Android, but FireFox does not use the same download folder.
    When I access those files in FireFox, no option to move them to the folder where I want them - or do anything else with them except remove them. When I try to find them, I don't get any results using the name of file displayed by Firefox. I can't find any way to find where FireFox stores files, or to modify this default value.
    We are talking about 50 MB here, that I had to pay a lot of bandwidth to download.

    This could be caused by the http://bugzil.la/596370 - if you click on file is automatically opened by another application, Firefox delete when the browser closes. If you want to save the file at all times instead of just once consultation, you can press and hold on the link and choose 'Save link' instead of simply pressing it.

    It is a known issue with Firefox which I hope will be fixed in a future version.

  • How to associate a file type or Protocol with a specific program in xp

    icons have changed to generic versions - for example PDF files now display as generic icon on the adobe icon

    Is it only the icons that have changed or if you double-click one of these files don't starts the associated app?  If it's only the icons, you will just have to rebuild your icon Cache:

    '' The icons randomly change to different icons. ''

    If associations have really been broken, then the quicker the resolution might be to do a system restore to a time before you had this problem

    Hello

    It is strongly recommended to access the tables directly unless there is a strong personalization use case. Using the layer BLL is perhaps the right thing to do.

    Anyway, here's the information on ecs tbl file:
    Select b.SID from tip_parameter_t a, TIP_DOCUMENTTYPEPARAMETERVAL_T b where a.id = b.DOCUMENTTYPEPARAMETER and b.SID like '% % ECS ';

  • DROID: How to stop a file download?

    While browsing the web with my new Droid, I accidentally clicked on a link that has started a downloading a huge file.  I could see the download progress in the drop of notifications (it took several hours to download), and I couldn't find a way to cancel it. I tried all the software options I could think (menus, options, tasks, etc.). And I thought that the hardware options (pulling the battery, memory card) would be just 'pause' the download temporarily.

    So, is there an easy way to cancel a download in progress?
