I did accidentally all .lnk shortcuts open in Microsoft Word

• Why all my programs and files open with Microsoft word?

  All my programs and files open with Microsoft Word and I need to know how to change that?

  I've seen that happen before when opening a program via a shortcut (for example. LNK file), you are asked what type of program to open it with. After Word selection using the Select a program from a list of programs installedand check always use the selected program to open this type of file, the Word document referenced by the shortcut of origin opens in Word, as it should.

  The problem is that now all shortcuts (for example. LNK files) on the desktop or in the browser will want to be opened by Word. This is known as a file association. . The same condition can occur if you have performed these actions on one. JPG or even a. EXE, but the. LNK explanation is much more likely.

  This has happened enough that a small utility was written to cancel the. LNK file association was created. There is a registry hack to do this, but I recommend the utility unLNK for its ease of use.

  I used to send people on another site to download this utility, but this site has become confused with all the ads and fake download links. I put a copy on by SkyDrive own here.

  

  Just download, then use the utility to unassociate the. LNK files for the user or globally delete the file type and let windows rebuild a new default.

• The file does not open in Microsoft Word

  When I try to open an online text document, it will not open in Microsoft Word. How can I change this?

  Go to start / Default programs / associate a file or Protocol with a program and do scroll up until you get in .txt.  It's probably on the notebook.  Click on change and change for Microsoft Word (you may need to search for winword.exe somewhere in Program Files) and save your work and exit.  In the future, .txt files will be opened with Microsoft Word.

  If this happens with the .doc, .docx, .rtf, or other files that MS Word can open, and then do the same with these types of files that you did with .txt above.

  I hope this helps.

• Unless it is opened through Microsoft Word itself do not open files

  I can't open Word Documents or PowerPoint presentations when I download them through the internet or if they are already on my computer.  The only way I can open them is by clicking on 'Open' in the tab file on one of these programs.  If I just try to double-click a file on my computer, rather than the button 'open' on Microsoft Word or PowerPoint, the following error message appears: "the operating system is not allowed to execute this program."

  Please let me know if you have an idea of what this might be or if I need to explain it more clearly. Thank you!

  Check which program is currently set as the default for Word and Powerpoint

  Start-> Control Panel-> default programs-> associate a file or Protocol with a program type

  Scroll down to the 1st one (.doc) and check what he said, which should be "Microsoft Office Word".

• What are the best settings for Pages documents look great when opened in Microsoft Word?

  I'm a freelance journalist. Pages is often the best tool for my writing work. Some editors want to submit articles directly in their CMS. It's a simple cut and job-last Pages. But most of the editors expect to send me copy as a Microsoft Word document. Pages to Word conversion is trivial, sometimes a little weird exit at the other end. It is a no cost me all work, he probably won't, but I like to be professional and give the copy as clean as possible. Are there guidelines to get the best results when a Pages document is converted to Word format?

  TO be professional, I recommend you use Word or at least a clone as LibreOffice Instead of Pages.

• In Windows 7, if I have several documents open in Microsoft Word, how can I get the documents that appear side by side (although reduced)

  When I was with Windows XP & I opened several Word documents, the documents would appear side by side on the taskbar, although that reduced to a minimum. In Windows 7, is it possible for me to get there instead of the documents that appear on top of the other? I hope you understand what I'm describing. Thank you.

  Right click on a box empty spots in your bar and select Properties, then select the option or "combine when taskbar is full".  This means that each document or file you have open will get its own key, as long as there is place so that it fits.

  Hello GIS_Person,

  Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forum

  Is this a recent installation of Word or this facility has been working properly for a long time? What is the version of Office 2003 or Office 2007 Word? You have recently installed another program that could interfere with the functionality of Word? You could try to save all your Word documents, make sure you have the product key and the available media and then uninstall and then reinstall the program to see if that solves the problem. Have you tried to open documents on another machine and see if you get the same response from the file?

  You can also try a system restore to an earlier point, who could return to a time before the problem occurred. I am including the instructions below to access the system restore.

• When I try to update a software, it opens the page update in microsoft word

  Any program I want to update such as Adobe Flash player or CCleaner opens in Microsoft Word.  Even when I open a program and click search for updates, it opens to the top of the Web page in microsoft word. It happened spontaneously and I'm decent with computers, but I have no idea how to solve this problem!

  Pleast help!

  Just corrected it if you still need help.  Go Control Panel - default programs - set your default programs.  Select the browser you are using and Choose default for this program.  Make sure that HTTP and HTTPS are checked... voila!  Fixed!

• in win 7, all of my shortcuts open as a default file

  in win 7, all of my shortcuts open as default file, ex: all my shortcuts of my programs in my office, open with internet explorer, what should I do?

  It seems as if .lnk (shortcuts) are wrongly associated with Internet Explorer. Executes him. Association of LNK REG difficulty from here should solve the problem:
