Hello
Method 1) check the instructions in the link for Windows 7
When you run an .exe on a Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 computer file, the file can start another program
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950505
Method 2) in case if it does not help, you must change the associated file. To change the file association for a specific file, you must first display the properties of the file.
- You can view the properties of a file by selecting the file and choosing 'Properties' in the file menu. Or you can simply right-click on the file and select "Properties" from the context menu that appears.
- To change this file association, click the button change.
- You are given a list of recommended programs to open the file, as well as several other programs on your computer. The recommended programs are programs that Windows knows is going to be able to open the current file type. For this reason, choose a program from the list of recommended programs is a good idea. You can choose a program from the list of other programs, but the file cannot open.
- You can change this program opens all documents of a certain type of file, and then click the checkbox "Always use the selected program to open this type of file."
- Click OK

Deleated program and I can not transfer to another site like Facebook
I accidentally deleted a program and now I can't transfer photos to another site like face book and at the end of them now, there are these letters, jpg. When I remove these that the picture won't show at all, unless I select a program to open it and it still doesn't transfer to another site what do I do and how to fix it? Thank you.
Hi L
System Restore is basically a feature that allows you to restore your computer to an earlier time. It does not affect your documents or photos etc. But you must save them in case something goes wrong (Got to say that). In other words, if you restore your computer to a time before you deleted your program the program will be restored on your computer. The computer will be in the same condition it was at the time wherever you restored it too. It will effect other programs etc that you have probably changed. The articles below will guide you in the process. The advice below refers to the creation of a restore point, well it's too late for you. However, the system restore points are created automatically by Microsoft at times, as when your system is up-to-date. You must update your computer if you use one of these restore points.
Please let me know if you need additional help with the restoration of the system. This is a very useful feature and you must create system restore points before making major changes to your computer.
Read the articles below and see the video: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows7/help/videos/fixing-a-problem-using-system-restore#tab=system
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows7/products/features/system-restore

Change .jpg to PNG is easy that you change simply by right-clicking on the image and choose "Rename", then you can change to .jpg. to.PNG. remember do this on a copy of the image so that if something goes wrong and the picture is damaged you always have a copy of it.

Is it possible for another application open a viewer application?
Is it possible for another application to 'link' to a viewer application, so to have a button that opens the application Viewer? A bit like the music application can open the app store itunes on the iPad. On iOS? On Android?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Axel,
In the generator of the Viewer, you can set a "optional URL schema" (first page) for an application. With the URL scheme, you can start the application from other apps.
For the use of this URL schema in another application, you can consult the documentation from Apple.
With sincere friendships.
