How to handle file types in Windows 7

In XP, we can go to the Control Panel-> Folder Options-> File Types , choose an extension, and then chooseAdvanced and generally see a list of actions associated with the file type. You can change the default action or change action to modify the program / the command used for this action.

I was not able to find a similar to Windows 7 installation. I do not know thePanel-> default programs where we can change the association primary program for a file type, but it does not provide the list of actions.

The described installation exist in Windows 7?

Hello

Not to the same degree.

Start - default program - associate any type of file or Protocol with a program.

These could offer generally some information to help.

  • How do you manage file types in windows 7?

    How do you manage file types in windows 7? There was a tab for it under XP folder options. If I can't solve the problem I will downgrade to xp and back to windows 7.

    Tab file types has been removed in Windows Vista & Windows 7 and replaced by "default programs". If you need to customize the type of file to a higher level associations (for example, the addition or the change of a supplementary verb in a class file), you need to maybe use a third-party tool or change the registry manually.

    If you have a specific requirement, pls after return.

    How ascess the files in my Windows Vista Partition in Windows 7? I have Windows Vista Partition, I case these files through my Windows 7 partition without logging in there?

    Thank you

    You should be able to (I'm virtually certain it's possible) If you have the appropriate permissions or property rights in your Vista partition to allow access of the user of Windows7 or users of Windows7.  It's the way it works with XP and Vista and I suspect that it is essentially the same thing here.  You may need to add the users to the Vista partition/folders/files in Windows7 using regardless of their process (it varies probably Vista so I won't bother posting method Vista to do).

    The best thing to do is to follow the advice of Michael Murphy and get help from experts in the Windows7 Forums.

    Good luck!

  • How can I remove topic of file Type in Windows Explorer?

    How can I get the title of 'Type' of the track without having to move out of the site whenever I have access to a folder?  I can see the file simply type by looking at the extension of file and/or icon, in order to have a column dedicated to tell us the file type is not significant and placed automatically between two useful columns is just stupid - and the user have means of obtaining useful information permanently removed ' Type' column.  STUPID!

    I already know the answer to that question is, 'it can't be done", so how can I communicate with Microsoft, who can do something, rather than be eliminated in a forum of people who all have the same question and no answer.  -Skyler

    Skyler and others are right. Users (me) need to be modify by default displays windows Explorer then this file Type is NOT DISPLAYED. This would increase my available in 5 to 10% screen space. How do us set up so that the file type is not a default column in windows Explorer?

  • How to set file associations in Windows 7 (not 'open', but others)

    In Windows XP, I could go to a menuFichier associations see or change references to elements like: Edit, print, etc., in addition to 'Open', and I could put the opened another default action (examples 'play', merger or edit).

    Where can I do this in Win7?

    I know on the page "Panel-> Default Programs-> Set Associations (associate a file of a program)", but that seems to have only the opportunity to choose a program that will be called when the user "clicks" on the file, which is the default action.

    I recently installed an image viewer, but it took all my image assocs, editing program.

    This is some 'sense' (otherwise, how to see pics in the Viewer?), so I right click to see if there was another option to edit my photo (such as edit)...   There are - except that it does not start my photo editing program, it starts 'paint '.

    So, how can I do the 'Edit' menu option to call my editor?

    In a more general way, how can I change one of the right-click options to point to my program, or if, say, 'change '.
    was not there, and I wanted to 'Edit' on '.reg' programs to open the file in a text editor?

    These things were relatively simple in Windows XP, but now I have no idea on where to find these basic
    Setting OS features.

    I can't imagine that MS would expect people to learn and use 'regedit' to make these types of changes - but this seems to be the only program supplied with Win7 to do this, or I just WAY missing something obvious?

    Thank you!

    You are missing the old style "File Types" dialog allowing you to resolve this kind of things?  In Windows 7 (and Vista), you will need to set manually in the registry.  But there is a small program that brings your familiar functionality.   I have not used it myself, but it seems to be quite impressive.  Here is the link: http://types.sourceforge.net/

    Thank you very much for this link!

  • How to extract files from the Windows 7 installation CD?

    I remember that on Win98, I can use SFC. EXE to extract all those files. CAB files on the installation of Win98 CD and place the files extracted into a folder I want. In addition, I don't need to know where. CAB of the target file should be some.

    The SFC. EXE in Win7 replces only system files. It does not extract and put all the files as the SFC in Win98.

    So, how to extract files from Windows 7 installation CD?

    Hello

    ·         Why you want to extract the file from the Windows 7 DVD?

    ·         What file you want to extract?

    Some of the files will be locked or currently in use by the system so that you will not be able to replace their while that started in Windows 7. Therefore, SFC scan tool is used to repair any file corruption in windows 7.

    Design by default, you can extract the files. You can copy and paste the file into your Windows 7 DVD drive, refer to the article below:

  • How to decrease file type, save options for?

    I have options for 16 types of files when I "save under" in Photoshop. (see attachment)

    Nine of them are formats that I will NEVER, EVER use.

    While I appreciate the ability of PS to open these types, I want to simplify the list "save under" for types that I'll actually use.

    I would like to eliminate the arrow options.

    Is it possible to show me only a list of file types selection to save on?

    If we separate these os, PS, I'm OK with that because they are formats of dead to my work, even if it means that I is not no opening these formats in PS.

    (I know - I just say 'Open with' Windows, but I really don't like if I lose the opportunity to play with these types of files).

    Is it possible to reduce this list?

    Separate these types of PS in Windows (8, BTW) seems to have no effect.photosop save options.jpg

    You can not.
