I want to open my download with
When I download a file, (try to download net framework) it goes into my downloads. When I go to my downloads to open I get a box asking me what I want to open it with. I never got that before on my other computers. Download just opened. Don't know how to get around this problem.
Your computer may be infected with malware.
Open Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\Windows\system32. Find notepad.exe (you can not see the exe ' ' at the end) and double click it. Notepad opens or you we the same error message?
Your desktop shortcuts work correctly?
If you get the error message with Notepad or your shortcuts don't work, then
A. download, install, update and run scans (one at a time) with each of the following free tools:
MalwareBytes AntiMalware
SUPERAntiSpyware
Remove any found object. You can uninstall programs once you're done if you wish.
B. then go to http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm READ the instructions at the top of the page, then download and use the EXE File Association Fix and (if necessary) the difficulty of LNK file Association.

Hello
- Click the "Start" menu in the bottom left of Windows. Then select "Default programs".
- Click on the option "Associate any type of file or Protocol with a program."
- Select the file type you want to change the types of files listed. For example, if you want the text (.txt) file to open it in Microsoft Word instead of WordPad, choose '.txt '.
- Click on the "Change Program" button in the upper right window.
- In the list of programs, select "Microsoft Word". If Microsoft Word does not appear in the list, click on the button 'Browse' in the bottom right and choose Microsoft Word on your computer.
- Click on the button 'OK' and then 'close '. The next time you open this type of file, it will open it in Microsoft Word. Repeat this procedure for any other type of file you want to open in Word.

I now get a separate download window (which I did not before) and when I go to the downloaded pdf file, I now have to answer several questions until I'm able to get the drive to run. In my view, a PDF file is just automatically open in a new tab without having to do anything. Is it possible to restore this behavior? Thanks for your help.
Please, try the following and see if it works:
1. go in the preferences of firefox by typing "subject: preferences ' in the address bar.
2. choose the tab 'applications' on the left.
3. type 'pdf' in the search box that appears.
4. you should get something similar to the attached screenshot. Click the menu drop-down and choose 'Preview in Firefox' like action. -
