• virus jumble all my file associations and will not let me reset them... upgrading to windows 7 will overwrite everything on my comp. including viruses?

  The virus is a popup window that said it was a windows xp security 2011.  I tried to end it in task several times Manager, then did a system restore.  After I did a system restore all my file associations were all mixed upward and every sense, I try to change the associations, it won't let me.  It doesn't let me even open system restore or something like that.

  My question is if I install the full version of windows 7 (at the moment I have windows xp) to my computer it also will erase everything on my computer, including virus?  Thanks for any help I can get!

  I expect BugBatter to answer here... but since it's been several hours and it didn't:

  before considering a change/upgrade of the operating system, you can check if you can solve the problem by following the directions/procedure listed here: http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=82696

  before you say it cannot be done, take note of doing things exactly as specified... in particular, I would like to highlight the following points of special 3 which are:

  (1) If you are unable to download MBAM directly on the infected computer, you should download on another computer and then transfer it (via key) to the infected machine.

  (2) given that .exe files does not work on your computer, you will need to Rename the mbam-setup installation file . exe:

  mbam-setup. com:

  (3) Similarly, after installation of the MMFA, you will need to Rename it to mbam. exe for mbam. com in order to run it.

  Keeping these 3 points in mind, go back and follow, step by step, the procedure in the above link.

  NOTE: If Bugbatter here meets the time wherever you are reading this, then please follow all what she said which differs from my suggestion.

• File Association message when you try to run the Windows 7 upgrade

  I'm eager to start the download for Win7 upgrade of Vista. My Download Manager tells me it's done as a .iso file. When I try to start I get a message the file Association that frankly confuses me. What should I do to get the thing running? Thank you, John

  An ISO file is an image of the data on a CD/DVD and just cannot be enforced, it is meant to be extracted and burned to a disc and then is executed.

  However, Microsoft provides a tool to load this file on a USB after the converted into a bootable drive.

  Go to this site to read the guide and download the tool. You will need at least 4 GB USB key, all the data on it will be erased.

• user-specific file associations

  The file associations in Windows 7 are the same for all users, or can be specific to the user and stored in user profiles? What I could find, the HKCR subtree which seems to contain information about file associations is extracted from the HKLM\Software and HKCU\Software.  If HKCU\Software contains file associations, then maybe they can be user-specific, but if the file associations are stored only in the HKLM hive, I expect to be universal for all users.

  The answer is 'yes' at the same time.  If the user doesn't have individual preferences for file association management, the setting of the local computer is used instead.

• How do you manage file types in windows 7?

  How do you manage file types in windows 7? There was a tab for it under XP folder options. If I can't solve the problem I will downgrade to xp and back to windows 7.

  Tab file types has been removed in Windows Vista & Windows 7 and replaced by "default programs". If you need to customize the type of file to a higher level associations (for example, the addition or the change of a supplementary verb in a class file), you need to maybe use a third-party tool or change the registry manually.

  If you have a specific requirement, pls after return.

• delete the file associated with playlist

  If I import a set of files in iTunes that I have worked with previously, the program has somehow, platforms, written in the files that they are now associated with a playlist.

  But where the ID tag or file header is this and how can I remove it?

  It appears in the properties of the Win Explorer, it does not show in the menu 'get info' in iTunes (unless I missed it), and it does not show in sch third-party programs such as mp3tag.

  I tried to get rid of it by deleting the actual playlist, but once I drag and drop one of the files that are used to be in this new in iTunes, the playlist will reappear.

  So, I went to "Edit Playlist", then deleted all the files it contains. Now I have several empty playlists. But, again, if I drag move the files back into iTunes, playlists are back.

  It says "part of a compilation" in the properties of the file, but this field is always empty.

  So, how can I delete iTunes playlist audio file association?

  THX.

  Remove all file from playlist (.m3u) that is located in the folder containing the media that are imported.

  Hi Bala,

  Depending on your use case, I suggest you call the next VI, which comes with LabVIEW, after your purchase VI is the creation of the data file.  Just pass the data file path in the upper part of entry and your path to the VBScript file in less than entry.
