Icons of controls (.bat) do not work

I'm running on Windows 7.  Recently, I made the mistake to associate files .bat with an editor without thinking about the consequences.  Now, all my icons on the desktop to different batch files will only open in the editor instead of running.  I tried combining .bat to cmd.exe, but it displays a command prompt.

How to reset the behavior without having to resort to an old restore point?

Hello

Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

Important: problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

    1. the buttons on the control panel have not worked

    2. I'll make a message pop up on the screen that says "infringement or used (s), the original HP of ink in one or more.." and I can't read the rest of the message because I have to scroll down, but the buttons do not work.

    Glad to know that you fixed the ink of related issues. If you still encounter display problems, it could be more likely a hardware failure with the machine.

    I would contact HP tech support to create a service if the printer is under warranty. Alternatively, you can call technical support so that the good options to upgrade, you can benefit if your printer is already out of warranty.

  • On the start menu control panel does not work

    When I click on the start menu control Panel icon, it says and I quote": {26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683}"the RPC server is unavailable." All other icons are thus working computer, network, printers, etc all its only the control panel is not working. Two questions how to fix this and what is the RPC server?

    Hi I.Saenz,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2 when was the last time it was working fine?

    3. do you have security software installed on the computer?

    Remote procedure call (RPC) is a part of Windows programs, which is "an interprocess communication technique that allows the software client and server to communicate." CPP is designed to provide a common interface between applications, making it easy for programs to communicate with the servers.

    Check if the problem persists in safe mode.

    Start your computer in safe mode

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    Restart the computer to return to normal mode

    If the problem persists in safe mode then I suggest that scan you SFC on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

    The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista installation CD.

  • Tab and control keys do not work in Firefox (they work in other browsers) AND I went to a new keyboard.

    Tab and control keys do not work the browser Firefox (my browser is up-to-date). The buttons work in IE and Chrome, however, until I realized that, I even changed my keyboard for a brand new, hoping that would solve the problem.

    Hello arlusk, the problem is probably an extension that is not working properly. Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • You can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.

    Hi Skidizmo,

    Sorry for the late reply.  I would say it is extremely common with Google Chrome.  Lets try a few steps and see if we can solve this problem.

    Also note that some of these steps, you will be directly associated with system and any deletion or Pack with files can cause the computer does not work.  Please follow the instructions how I tell you.  Perform these steps at your own risk.

    Lets start

    Option 1

    2. Click on Internet Options
    3. When open Internet Options, click the Programs tab
    4. Click Make Default
    5. Click apply
    6. Click OK

    Restart computer and try again your icons.  See if it works and if not go to Option 2.

    Option 2

    WARNING: You will be altering a hive of system critical files of the operating system.  Deletion or modification of any sort can shut down the operating system of the ownership of work.  Please perform this procedure at your own risk.

    Please follow the steps exactly do not remove or change anything, unless the instructions below tell you.

    First back up the registry.  To do this he follow directions below.

    1. Click Start
    2. In the type in regedit search box and press enter
    3. Click Yes at the prompt of admin commands
    4. When the Registry Editor opens click on file and select export
    5. Name the file regbackup and save it on the desktop
    6. Click Save.

    With the now open register, follow these steps to delete the registry files that put Chrome in place which is the origin of the problem.

    1. Expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER
    2. Expand Software
    3. Extend Classes
    4. Click .html
    5. On the right panel, you will see a default value.  Click on this and select Edit.

  • Satellite Pro R50 - brightness control F3 does not work

  • Installed Tuneup Uitlitie and my control keys do not work

    Hello

    Since I installed Tuneup Uitlities my keys do not work.
    For example: I can't adjust the sound volume or toggle wlan with the keys F1 - F12.

    I already searched in Google, but I can't find a solution. Is it possible that Tuneup have uninstalled or disabled the Launch Manager? How can I install/activate this new?
    I can't find something.

    Hope someone can help me,

    > Is it possible that Tuneup have uninstalled or disabled the Launch Manager?

    Never heard talk of launch manager on the Toshiba laptop computer, but of course, the FN buttons are controlled by special software.
    I put t know what system you are using and what laptop do you have but for example:
    Using the Win 7, value added package system and some utility Flash card access buttons controls the FN.

  • ENVY of HP dv7 NOTEBOOK PC: Beats Audio Control Console does not work!

    At the beginning I didn't know her and all of a sudden, whether.  Then, after checking the updates, I got a bit her back but Beats Audio (that's why I chose this particular laptop, as I watch a lot of movies and listen to a ton of music) does not work at all!  I can shoot to the top of the control Console Audio Beats, but I does NOT allow me to click on anything whatsoever.  So, I have sound I hear not well at all (my mini netbook has the best sound at this time and it's awful!) and the reason why I chose to pay a lot for this laptop was because she saw the Beats Audio, which it won't allow me to access more!  I need expert help to get this problem because what time this laptop is almost worthless for someone like me who has the bad hearing and need the best sound that beats provided!

  • Qosmio F30: Toshiba control buttons do not work on Vista 64 bit

    Hello everyone

    I have Windows Vista 64-bit installed on my Qosmio F30, but before operation buttons do not work.
    I tried to use the 32-bit configuration of Vista drivers, but when I press it, I got the following error: "this function not taken in charge.

    So please can someone help me to overcome this problem.

    THX

    Hello

    You cannot use these Toshiba control buttons (play, pause, etc.) because the necessary drivers are not installed.

    You will need a compatible Vista value added package, but it seems that Toshiba page does not provide the 64-bit VAP but only the 32-bit version.
    The problem is that the software for Vista 32 bit does not work on Vista 64 bit OS.

    In my opinion so there's nothing to do right now

  • Control buttons do not work after the new installation OS on Equium A100-147

    After Installing Win XP manually, I am facing problem for the multimedia keys on the left side of the laptop work.

    I am able to access the first button to launch Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player but still keys Play/Stop / > /.< not="" working="" with="" windows="" media="">

    I read in these forums that these keys work only with WinDVD or Windows Media Player with CD/DVD in. But I was able to use these keys with MP3 files in Windows Media Player.

    I don't want to use the restore CD.

    Thanks for your reply.

    Hello

    Of course you can use it with mp3 files. The files are probably listed in the WMP library, and you can use all of the buttons. There is nothing unusual.

    If you cannot use all those buttons in WMP when music CD is in the drive or you if the WMP library is open I recommend you remove TOSHIBA controls reboot the device and install again. Maybe it will work again.

  • Equium P300 - control buttons do not work currently running Win XP

    Hi, I'm looking for help with a problem with a laptop Equium P300.

    This is my brother's laptop, he bought about 18 months ago, it came with Vista, he did not want what he preferred to have XP, so I changed the XP operating system by using the drivers available on the Toshiba Web site, update the appropriate drivers.

    This has worked well for the last 18 months, however, recently, when the laptop is off, touch-sensitive shortcut keys remain lit, even when disconnected from the power supply and do not work.
    Previously, if it has been disabled and you press one of the keys shortcut the laptop turns on but is no longer doing this.

    I wonder if anyone has had this experience before?
    Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this or even what the cause of the problem?

    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer

    Hello

    You use Win XP on this laptop, then you must update the BIOS because there is a special BIOS for Win XP!
    In addition, the Toshiba multimedia control buttons are controlled by tool controls of Toshiba. You can download it from the page of the Toshiba driver.

    Regarding the buttons of enlightenment;
    AFAIK you can enabled and disable in the BIOS itself!
    Check the BIOS settings,

    Welcome them
