How to restore file associations / icons on Windows XP SP3

I installed a program that hijacked the .asc extension in Notepad (where he was previously a partner).  I have re-associate-the with notepad to open, but the displayed icon is always in the other program.  I still need the other program but also want the type of file to open it in a text editor (the diversion program will work without the association, at least it does on my Win7 system).

Any help would be appreciated.

Don

Reach:

Control Panel-> folder-> "File Types" Options (tab)

Find the "asc" extension in the list and click on it once to select it.

Then click on the "Advanced" button and then click on the button 'change icon '.

Then click on the "Browse" button to find the program you want to asociate with it and I hope there will be an icon in the window that is associated with this program you can select.

Select that and "OK" your way out.

HTH,

  • How to restore file associations in Win8 back to CS6?

    I tried CC. I'm not convinced of his merits and value of money, so I leave the end of the subscription. No problem. I have CS6.

    But how can I go back for example file associations. PNG or. JPG files to PS CS6 instead of PS CC? Whenever I have change in the Control Panel, he apparently accepts, but then PS comes up with the message that I need to renew my subscription. When I start PS CS6 and open the file, there is no problem at all, no message subscription renewal and it all works.

    Can I just change this behavior by uninstalling CC completely? It sucks, because if I ever change my mind and go for CC, I need to re-download all the software, which takes a lot of hours.

    It sucks. You must completely remove the CC. This isn't a problem, but if you decide to go further on the road CC, you are faced again in time of ridiculous long download and hours of manual work to get rid of the shit of the installation.
