  Hi VikkHckrz,

  1. you remember to make changes to the computer recently?

  Method 1:

  You can consult the following KB article and run the fix it tool available and check if you can assign file association.

  When you run an .exe on a Windows Vista-based or Windows 7 computer file, the file may start another program

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950505

  Also check out the link:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/change-which-programs-Windows-uses-by-default

  After running the fixit so check the option is grayed out or not.

  Method 2:

  If you're still having problems, then you can try to change the settings in the registry only if it is present on your computer and check if it helps.

  a. Click Start, type regedit in the search box and press ENTER.

  b. navigate to the

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer

  (c) in the right side of the screen, double click on "NoFileAssociate".

  d. change the value of "NoFileAssociate" from 1 to 0.

  e. exit the registry editor and restart the computer and check.

  Important: The above mentioned steps show you how to modify the registry. However, serious 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.

• A search engine click always uses the default search engine

  In the search bar, I type the word London and press enter and get the results of a search Google (default search engine).
  I click on the magnifying glass to open the search drop-down list and click the icon for Wikipedia (to perform a search on Wikipedia for the word London). However, the results are not Wikipedia but are the same as my previous research on Google. The only way I can get the research to be done on Wikipedia is to change Wikipedia to my default search engine.
  Am I misunderstand how the search with a single click is supposed to work, or you can tell me what I need to change to make it work?
  Thank you

  Using the arrow keys or tab to the search engine icon had the same result by clicking on the icon to directly search engine, any search engine was selected the search is always performed by the default search engine.
  Running in Mode safe solves the problem
  Classic deactivation restaurateur theme does not solve the problem, but disabling 'Tab control 0.5.5' solve the problem . In the reviews of this add-on a few users have mentioned this as a problem. I've removed "Tab control" as an add-on (even though I liked some of its features) because it is no longer maintained.
  Thanks for your replies.

• Cannot change the default program to open certain types of files more

  I opened the month .package file type by using a specific .exe designed to cope.  I got this morning and by clicking on a .package file brought to the top of the screen "choose default program".  I chose the appropriate program, but it does not appear in the screen of the recommended program, and I can't find any way to make it use the default .exe.   I tried to change it in the area of selection of the programs in the the control panel by default and hot at the same result.  I can still open the files by starting the program manually and choosing the option 'Open', but it is a tedious and repetitive task!  This program is used to group graphic files in a specific format, and it is not uncommon to open and close files .package 5 6 times in a period of 10 minutes.  I really need to fix this ASAP.  My productivity has come to a near standstill.

  I'm on Win7 64-bit, the program in question is a stand-alone that has always been in its own folder in the downloads library.  I tried to move to the folder program files (x 86), but that did not help.  Windows recognizes the program when I make the request to select the default program.  When I try to use it however, it is not an option.

  I was going to link to the Microsoft Developer Network instructions, but it's a pretty large amount of information for it, so, let me suggest a small program that should be able to do it for you.

  Hi Jlhillhouse,

  It is difficult to solve the problems of the computer without knowing all the details. You should look at the link I sent you and especially to Firefox is slow - how to make it faster. I don't know any known issue as you describe, it's probably a very good bet for a response.
