• Incorrect file in windows extensions 7.

  Windows 7. All my files & programs keep having allocated a single extension, for example Adobe acrobat, win Media Player etc. Means that I can not open my programs, including DVDs. If I try 'open with', any program I choose apply this program to all files and programs. All the taskbar icons are the same. How can I fix this please?

  Not sure I'm 100 percent, but:

  Set default programs - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/2630-default-programs-set-programs-default-associations.html ( ) a default value is the program used by Windows 7 when you open a particular type of file extension. This will show you how to set a default program for selected or all file types and protocols it can open.

  These default programs link settings are a user setting and not applied to all users.)

  OR

  Set default associations - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/19449-default-file-type-associations-restore.html ( ) the Downloads below will allow you to restore the registry entries in Windows 7 by default and to program the selected file extension type associations.)

  Hi Oniebeme,

  • Exactly when you receive the above errors?

  Step 1

  You can run the checker system files (SFC Scan) on your computer and check if it helps you to fix the aid and support question. System File Checker analyzes all immediately protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions. This command may require access to the Windows installation source files. Follow the steps below to scan SFC on your computer.

  one.	Click Start and run, type sfc/scannow, and then click OK.
  b.	Once the scan is complete, restart the computer. Note You will need the Microsoft Windows installation CD if the scanning utility cannot find the necessary system files.

  Access the link below to learn more about Scan SFC.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310747

   

  Step 2

   

  If scan running SFC does not help, you can create a new user account and check if it works fine without error on the user account. If the new user profile on the computer works fine, copy data from the user of the old account to the new.

  You can access the link below and follow the steps in the article to create a new user account and copy the data to the new account.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/811151

  Step 3

  This behavior can also occur if the computer is infected with the Virus. I would recommend torun a virus online scan.

  Access the link below and check if your computer is infected with the virus and delete the same.

  If the steps above do not help, you may need to contact the Champagne and Dell technical support if you can get a Windows XP installation disc.

• . Action file extension

  I can't open a place of trade .Act file extension.  How can I accomplish this?

  Rick

  Go to start / Default programs / associate a file or Protocol with a program and the list for the .Act file extension (I've never heard of it or those who well before - they usually only 3 digits - then be sure that it really is the extension of the file and is not actually part of the name of the file - go to start / Control Panel / folder Options / View and uncheck the box to hide the extensions of file types) known file).  If you find it should list a default program that is used to open these files.  If it is incorrect, click on modify and check if the correct option is displayed.  Otherwise, click Browse and navigate to the executable for the program that is used to open these files (it must be installed on your system for the extension to show high and so that you can open the type of file).  If it is not then no program has installed on the system to add this extension to the list of file types and their associations, which is why it will not open.  You will have to perhaps download and install place of trade (or something to open their files) on your computer in order to open this file (check with commercial technical support room for further assistance).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• The file names changed in wingdings, including the file extension and I can't delete, change them, open, etc. Here are the pictures.

  Have (had) a file with multiple files it contains with pictures in each file.  A week ago the pictures were there.  Now, the names are replaced by wingdings as names and file extensions.  When I try to open it, it is not accessible and that the file name, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect.  When I try to delete it, it says that the file name you specified is invalid or too long and specify a different name.  When I try to rename it, it tells me that if I change the file name extension, the file may become unusable.  If I try to change anyway, it says I've specified file name is not valid or too long.  Only tried for the name 1.  I did a restore in the case where a program interfered with that.  However, nothing has changed.  All of the suggestions.

  You can download and try to delete the file Unlocker http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtmlwilh.  Although it is not designed for this particular circumstance, it may very well work in all cases, as it has been very successful in a wide variety of situations are not specifically highlighted in the directions (where do not work the normal Vista options).  NOTE: Some antivirus flag programs this program as a malware, but it is a 'false positive' and is safe to use perferctly.  My own software to flag, but several other well-known software products it clean and the warning is included in the documentation of the program.

  I wish there was a way to save the images, but at this point, it seems that the only option is to delete because you can't rename files EHF (if this option is available-I hope that work above).  Unfortunately, System Restore does not affect the files of data, so even if a program caused this, System Restore can eliminate the cause, but it would not restore the files to their previous names.

  If you have Vista Business, Vista Ultimate or Vista Enterprise, you can be lucky because they retain the files called snapshots http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Previous-versions-of-files-frequently-asked-questions.  It can be used to recover previous versions of files that have been changed or deleted accidentally.  Here's how: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-vista/features/shadow-copy.aspx.

  If you have Vista Basic or Premium of Vista, you don't have a shadow, but there is a free program for you that does essentially the same thing called Shadow Explorer: http://www.shadowexplorer.com/.  I suggest that you download and implement as soon as POSSIBLE to protect you if you accidentally delete or modify a file.  It will not help you in this instance, but it can help save the next time.

  I'm more concerned about why this has happened in the first place and prevent it from happening again.  I saw file names change before, but never of wingdings which then do not let you open, edit, delete, or rename.  We will check some of your system files: go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

  Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.  If you find any these corrupted files, try to post them here.  Maybe we can replace the good files on the disc.

  While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  It will scan and try to solve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a cause.

  If this does not work, then please post repetitive errors in Event Viewer about the name change (Start / Control Panel / administrative tools / Event Viewer).  Here's how to use Event Viewer: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic40108.html.

  If this does not work, you will need to do a repair/system upgrade using the Windows Vista Installation disc authentic (you own or that you can borrow from someone).  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html as well as the upgrade from an earlier version of the Windows section of the following: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918884.  Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side. If other procedures do not work, it is almost certain to work - but it will probably not fix your renamed files.  You can have a lot of updates to re - install (including all you need to remove service packs).  If the version on system with SP1 or SP2 preinstalled cane and the disc is an earlier version, then you will need to do a slipstream drive as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/151606-vista-sp1-slipstream-installation-dvd.html.

  I hope one of these procedures can solve your problem.  If this isn't the case, after return and we will try something else.  Return message anyway so we know how it turns out.

  Good luck!

• How can I find out what the file extension is an attachment to an email?

  I get an email with an attachment, I can not open with any of the applications that I have in my Ubuntu 14.04. How can I find what is the extension of the attached document, so I can find an attachment that can open and store?

  I can't save it on the disk without the aid of an application

  I am really curious what you could not do. There is no problem with saving a file on the disk without file extension.

  I don't like when a program hides important details of me

  I don't think that there is nothing that Thunderbird is hiding from you. Most likely the attachment is not a file extension - for any reason.

  When I ask to save a file, the Save dialog for Firefox removes the file extension (for example, 'doc', 'pdf', "ofx") of file name, and I have to manually add it back. Earlier versions don't behave this way.

  Thank you, Jon Hauris

  RXE files are generated by the LEGO MINDSTORMS programming environment (also called NXT - G; it is based on LabVIEW but not equivalent).  These files contain binary data representing a MINDSTORMS program.  To open them, you need the LEGO software.

  This comparison can also help clarify:

• Plugin data for a possible evolution of file Extension?

  Hello

  I have files with the same file format data in files from there. Problem: the file extension is never the same, only the first 2 letters:

  My extension is: *.pa + a number incrementing

  Example *.pa01, *.pa02; *. PA03, etc..

  I tried to define * .pa use expansion, but it does not work. DIAdem allways aks me what Plugin data should be used for the file.

  Someone at - it an idea to set a file Extension variable?

  Thanks in advance

  Hi Marco,.

  Unfortunately, we do have an elegant solution for you.  It was the case that you can define extensions of use with one or more '? ' character, but that doesn't seem to work more in DIAdem 11.0.  My only suggestion is that you can list on all variants in the file extension string:

  *. PA01, *.pa02; *. PA03...

  Who has at least 100 different file extensions, you must set this one right channel

  I hope that this limitation will get some attention in the future.

• What can I do to find file extensions, please? I'm trying to restore my previous session on Firefox, & need help file extensions...

  I was told if I found the session files I would be better able to restore my previous browsing sessions... I am using Windows XP PRO SP3 32-bit.
  But I was also told that if I went to a particular place on Microsoft Windows, I know how to get the file extensions, so far I have had no luck with assistance here... hoping someone can help.
  Or... do you something if I activate a restore point which would be an easier option?
  I'm old & not a geek, if need you detailed instructions please

  Thanks in anticipation... I am very grateful to be able to request...
  Kind regards
  Sylvia

  Session files are located in your profile folder and are named sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak. If you have had an accident, FF load automatically and ask you if you want to use the session crashed.

  If you don't have an accident, you can load the last session in FF from the default home page by clicking on the restore session. If you have changed the default home page you can call it by adding on: houses a copy of your FF shortcut. Simply change as follows...
  
  Then, you will see this...
  
  Click on restore the previous session.
