Why do I sometimes get this message, but not always?
Hello
You must have the program installed to be able to read the attached files that programs
for example, if it is a .doc file in the attachment, you installed Word
.xls, you need Excel
. PPS, you need Powerpoint
etc.
but fortunately, there are FREE viewers provided by Microsoft for the accessories of extension file above that will save you having to buy Microsoft Office
Here are the download links for free Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint viewers:

PowerPoint 2007 Viewer

How to create an association in the control panel to the default programs with windows 8?
Separated from this thread.
HOW to CREATE a LINK WITH MY EMAIL(*** Email address is removed for privacy ***) BY THE DEFAULT PROGRAMS CONTROL PANEL?
BM
If you use a browser to access your e-mail, it is the question. You can set a default e-mail application if you have an e-mail application and the browser is NOT a messaging software.
Install an e-mail client and it will work, and that's why it worked on XP because you probably had Outlook express installed.

I studied a lot of information to solve this problem, but whenever I click on my drives in my computer or folder, it comes up with this error message. No matter what I do, the error remains. The strange thing is,I can click right and always open folders normally with the "Open" option, it's just that Ican't double-click on a folder and access it using Windows Explorer. I think it might be a virus or something, but I'm not a computer expert. Anyone know how I can fix without wiping my computer?
I tried the things:
(1) I have SystemSuite Pro 10 (2009), so I used that to try to scan deep and does all the options I could. I found 4 Trojan files in my files of java for a reason, but I deleted them.
(2) some sites suggest a problem with the registry, so I tried the fixes for those who did not.
(3) I had a system checkpoint to restore old and just tried to restore my computer to that, but the problem persisted.
(4) I used guest trying to access Windows Explorer and some of my other files, but the error message comes up again. It seems impossible to access Windows Explorer.
Please help me. Although it is a small problem, I really like my new computer to stay in the best shape possible and not have to do a right-click on each folder just to open it.
