How to restore the program that opens the lnk files to DEFAULT

I just upgraded to windows 7
While trying to change a lnk file, my child was able to put all the application & lnk files on my pc to open with Explorer (the file in the windows directory)
Now, when it is switched on the pc opens explore again and again until it locks upward. I can't open any programs, safe mode dose not help. I can right click on the files, but can't seem to change the default program option because it is grayed out. Can you help me to put this.

Click on the Start Menu, type regedit in start search and press ENTER.
Navigate to the following registry branch:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.lnk

Click the arrow to expand and delete the subkey named UserChoice.
Exit the registry editor.

  • How to restore the PSD file accidentally crushed by preview after the closing?

    Hello

    I recently registered and closed a file psd with many layers, and now when I opened it again it is a flattened image.  According to me, which may occur in the East after closing photoshop, I wanted to take the last look at the image and opened it in preview.  After saw closing and stop of my laptop, I have opened the image this morning and now it is flattened but still a psd.  Usually an excerpt asking you if you want to make changes to the images, but I never got a notification (recently updated to Yosemite, then maybe this feature is no longer available)

    Is it possible to restore the psd for the last time that I saved it in photoshop?  I heard that there is a way to read your story/brush strokes in your last session (scripts?) but I'm not entirely sure of how this works.  Help, please!

    Thank you ~.

    Problem solved!

    It turns out that Preview has the opportunity to restore the images to what they were before the changes have been made.  By doing this I revenue the psd file flattened (flattened during the rotation of the image) to the original with layers.  For the future I will make sure that all of my images are locked in the window.

    Thanks for all the help, I really appreciate it!

  • How to restore the old settings of default theme?

    Woke up this morning to find that firefox automatically updated their add-on from the default theme to version 22. Information on webpages (images, fonts, etc) are about 4 times the size that it used to be, but the police to bar menu is the same size. I can't find a way to get it back to how he has summer - because if won't let you get rid of it, and I can't use it like that - since I have to scroll just to spend in addition to the address bar in my email (and my resolution is the highest possible value). Any ideas for something similar to the old version? given that this font size makes it seem like I'm reading a book for children and is totally intolerable.

    Amendments of the code regarding the HiDPI support high-resolution displays have landed at Firefox 22 and later (bug #844604).

    You can change the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx and increase or decrease the value of 0.1 or 0.05 as follows to adjust the size of fonts and other elements in Firefox.

    • The layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref is a string parsed in float value and allows you to adjust the dimensions of all elements (user interface and web pages) specifically (resolution 0.1 or 0.05).
    • Change the default value of-1 to 1 to make it work as in previous versions of Firefox (100%)

    Start with a value of 1 and adjust this value with 0.1 or 0.05 for finer settings.

    • Use values between 1.0 and around 0.5 to reduce the size of the items (do NOT go all the way to 0.05!)
    • Use a value greater than 1.0 to grow and enlarge the elements (percentage divided by DPI, % / DPI).
    • http://KB.mozillazine.org/about:config

    If the web pages must be adjusted after changing this pref so you can watch the extension Default FullZoom Level or NoSquint.

    This extension allows to adjust the font size for the user interface:

  • Restoration of openers program: how to restore the original program of opening such as internet explore and itunes instead of notepad ++

    on my computer, I have somehow changed the settings for applications on windows 7 open with notepad ++ how to restore the original program of opening such as internet explore and itunes instead of notepad ++

    I've seen this happen when opening a program via a shortcut (for example. LNK file), you are asked what type of program to open it with. After selection of Notepad ++ (or another program) via the Select a program from a list of installed programsand checking the always use the selected program to open this type of file, document or program referenced by the shortcut of origin opens in Notepad ++ as it should.

    The problem is that now all shortcuts (for example. LNK files) on the desktop or in the browser will want to open Notepad ++ and use the icon of Notepad ++ to display the shortcut no matter what shortcut was originally intentioned to open. This is known as a file association and the default icon.

    The good news is that a small free utility was written to cancel the. LNK file association was created. There is also a registry hack to achieve, but I recommend the utility unASSOC for its ease of use.

  • Change the e-mail program that opens when I click on a link in a document

    Clicking on an email address in a pdf document in Acrobat Reader, Mac Mail will open instead of the e-mail program I use, Outlook for Mac 2011.  How can I change the default program that opens when you click on a link?

    Hi Meenakshi,

    I assume you mean Adobe Reader > Preferences > e-mail accounts.  I did already but get an error message: "Error communicating with the server" when I try to send a PDF by e-mail (file > Send file > Attach to Email), even if the parameters are exactly the same as in Outlook.  Don't know how to solve this problem, although simple workaround is just to save the file locally and then send it as an attachment from Outlook itself.

    But with regard to the specific question that I asked originally, I don't try to send a document as an attachment; I am trying to send an e-mail to a hyperlink address embedded in a pdf document open. It seems the setting that you referenced only affects how documents are sent as an attachment, not what client opens when you click on a link embedded in a pdf document e-mail.

    Anyway, I solved the problem of the latter: in OSX, please make sure that in the native Mail application that the default mail reader is the application that you want to use ALL the programs/applications (Mail > preferences > General > default email reader), including Adobe Reader.  Once I put this in Outlook, click an address for e-mail embedded in a document pdf opens Outlook with the address already in the field "to".
