  The bkf files are specific to the Windows XP Backup program and may not be
  used in Windows 8.

  Your only recourse is to find an XP system and to restore bkf files
  He can use a third-party program to save them, so that they can be
  restored using this program on Windows 8. Or instead of a third party
  backup program, if you don't have too much data, you can simply be
  able to copy them to a CD, DVD or thumb drive so they can be copied
  the machine to Windows 8.

• How to restore my files out of windows media center?

  for some reason when I saved a file in another file it changed my entire system to play windows media center nonstop... now he always plays and I can't control it.

  My husband has had the same problem for another reason however, he managed to correct the problem by restarting the computer... by pressing the F8 key at all times as it has been restarted.  It opens a window which says "fix."  In this form it was to "restore the computer to an earlier date" as one of his choices.  Go back as much as necessary and click on restore.  It fixed my problem.  I have tried many other alternatives and this is what finally worked.  Another option reopened as Media Center.  Good luck.

• How can I change the file association in Windows XP

  All my WORD documents and such are automatically saved in a WORDPAD document, how can I stop that?

  While the file associations in windows do not address how a file should be opened,

  It does not address how a file should be saved.

  the method of saving in a program is controlled by this program.

  Therefore, if you use word 2003, then you must change to save documents rtf to word documents.

  try clicking on Word Tools Menu then Options file.

  then under the tab backup, do not forget to select the right format for saving your documents, IE Word documents (* .docs).

• A broken file associations in Windows 7 64 bit

  I used to love the image viewer included with windows XP and I thought (wrongly?) that it was an integral part of explorer.exe, and so I had the unfortunate idea to this association of files with jpg files in windows 7.

  Instead of doing what I wanted, when you open a jpg file now some weird recursion happens where it kept spawning multiple processes explore again and again until the machine is short of memory.

  It is not letting me change it back, either.  When I choose to select to open with a specific program, the checkbox "always use selected program" is Ghost for some reason any.  It's like that with all the files!  And in Control Panel > programs > by default of the programs > set Associations "jpg" appear not at all.

  So, what can be done to remedy this?  I am confident in the registry if this is what it takes, I just need to know what keys to change.

  Hi Forb

  Go to the website next where you will see a box with most general file type.

  Click on the type that you want to restore to download the registry file. Download the file to your desktop, unzip the file.

  Right-click on the file and select the Merge option.

• 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.

• Reinstalled Vista on my Gateway computer. There are 2 users, how to find the files saved by Windows before reinstalling?

  My C drive was blue screens so that I couldn't get into my computer and it became useless. I'm a total computer not so smart person, (politically correct too) :) In any case, after finding how to get in safe mode and fishing around a solution, I got the solution from scratch. It was April, which should give you an idea how well informed, I am when it comes to such things.

  So I took the option that would save all user files before reinstaling the operating system which is original bought the 2008 version. Vista 32-bit. Yes I know it's old but it works again. So since then I tried to get it updated and secure. Gateway won't help me at all, of course, out of warranty and all. So I downloaded the service Pack 1 and 2 for vista and all the security updates and Microsoft security essentials and IE9. So now I'm finally back to normal, which I think is a relative term.

  So now, I want to find all the files of the user who have been registered by windows before the reinstall took place. My folders and files from my sister. Treatment of text and pictures and stuff.

  Once I found how to make their return to where I am and where it is?

  You are welcome.

  Unfortunately, you have not yet told how you have saved the files.

  If you used the Auromatic backup gateway, they say that the files are in the C:\Backup folder on the hard drive.

  You will need to open that folder and either copy and paste or drag and drop them where you want them to be.

  It's a question you'd have to ask Gateway:

  .

  If you sustained yourself using Vista DVD files or an external hard drive, is how do to the files from the point upwards.
