    My files, folders and element names are colored which appear in blue, how to change them back to black?

    The names of files (text) for example appear blue, as if it were a hyper link, where normally they should be black. What can I do to change black?

    In general, folders with names of blue files appear in this way because the compression of files and folders is enabled for this file or folder.  To return only the names of files and folders back to the dark, disable compression of files and folders that show in blue now.  Right-click on the folder, select Properties, and then on the Advanced button and that is the option.

    Hello

    You must perform a new installation of Office 2003.
    First remove all files and the former software office 2000 registry keys and then perform a new installation.
    After the installation of Microsoft Office 2003 Download all patches and updates on the Microsoft site.
    The use of the CCleaner is very useful, because this tool checks the programs and the entries in the registry for certain shortcomings

    Hello mattyboy1212,

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

    Try these steps and see if you can associate the default programs. If they are associated with Word, and then change them to the correct program.

    1. click Start and then click Control Panel.

    2. click on programs link.

    Note: If you see small icons or large icons in the control panel display, you will not see this link. Click on the default programs icon, and then click the link associated with a file type or Protocol with a program . Go to step 4.

    3. click on the link to Open a file in a specific program type always under default programs .

    4. in the set Associations window, scroll down until you see the file extension that you want to change the default for program.

    5. click on the extension of the file to select it, once you have found what you are looking for.

    6. click the button of change... program above the scroll bar.

    The Open with dialog box should appear.

    7. look into options for programs recommended and choose the application you want to open it with the file extension when you double-click on the particular type of the file on your computer.

    Note: Chances are, requests described under the programs recommended will be contain more programs for this type of file, but don't forget to look at the applications under other programs. You may need to click the v to expand the list of these programs.

    Note: Click Browse... to search, through your computer for any program not shown do not want to use.

    8. click OK in the Open with window. Windows 7 is going to update the list of file associations to display the new default program to open this type of file.

    9. click the button close the bottom together associations . You can also close the window of the Control Panel if it is still open.

    10. at this stage, when you double-click on any file with this particular file extension, the program you partner in step 7 will launch and load the particular file.

    Important: Program used to automatically open when these types of files have been launched will again open these types of files. To use a different program, you just need to start the program manually and then browse your computer for the file in particular.

  • Lightroom 6 and Sony ARW files: any ideas on how to open them?

    Hello

    I've recently upgraded to a version in retail box of the of the LR5 LR6 on a Windows 7 PC. Before I installed LR6 I had to covert all my (of a gun D 760) CR2 files to DNG files to open. But since LR6, I can't open the CR2 files no problem. If all well and good...

    However, my son uses a camera Sony A6000 and he sent me a file ARW (RAW native format of Sony) to change its name and I can not open in Lightroom 6 in all.

    I tried to convert a DNG file and a Tiff file, but when I navigate to the appropriate folder, Lightroom is not 'visible' as well as all other DNG files in the same folder. When I try to add the Lightroom file 'sees' the other DNG and CR2 files... just not the ARW file converted.

    Oddly enough, I seem to be able to open the ARW file in Photoshop CS5, but when I save it in Tiff format in that Lightroom is unable to see when I'm sailing on the desktop or in the folder I have recorded.

    PS I also tried opening the ARW files in Lightroom directly by converting only the DNG files, but that does not work either.

    Does anyone else have any experience of this? No workaround would be greatly appreciated.

    The A6000 has been supported from 5.4 LR - see devices supported by Camera Raw . It is not a compressed format, is it? I don't know much about Sony, but I wonder if that's the problem.

    As an experiment, place the ARW file in a folder to share, and then see if you can import it.

  • where are the files of keyword and how I get them into lightroom 4?

    I've upgraded from lightroom lightroom 3 4.  In many cases, the key words are missing - sort of. When I click on one photo, the keywords appear.  If I select a bunch of pictures, keywords appear as a group.  Why they not listed for each photo?  How can I get the "connected" without redoing each photo?  Let me know if you need more information.  It seems I read somewhere that keywords are stored in a separate file (many of these photos are jpg, if I do not speak .xmp), but I can't find where I read that.  Anyone know?

    Thanks for help.

    Margaret

    Hello.  Looks like I got all my keywords attached to the pictures.  What I did:

    Firstly I find all photos without keywords using a metadata search.

    I found that he appeared to be groups of pictures that had no key words.  I decided to at least get the main keyword on all people in a particular group, such as Canyonlands.

    Once I added one of the keywords, the others all appeared as if by magic!  Then, I went to each group of photos and added the main keyword and the others came and attached to the pictures.

    Don't understand why this happened or why it fixed, because it was so random.  But I'm happy to have my restored keywords (I had divided flowers by color, etc. so it was a lot of work!)

    Thanks for the discussion and self-help.

  • email and electronic mail files are missing... How to bring them back?

    My Thunderbird account suddenly disappeared. I have Thunderbird back, but all of my saved emails are missing. Some of the Inbox went back to June 20, returned in a single account, but all the others are missing. Sent folder is empty like the others. I can find where the files are located on the computer, but I don't know how to bring back them to Thunderbird, if I'm right.

    I don't know if I've been hacked or whether it is a quirk that can be fixed. If anyone can help me, I'll be really grateful. Thank you!!!

    My best guess what happened was Thunderbird lost track of your profile (for some reason any) and started with a new clean profile.
    You could recover the existing profile, but since you already took the trouble to recreate your accounts, it is not necessary.

    I can find where are all the emails/files, but I can't find a way to restore them.

    Install this add-on.
    https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Thunderbird/addon/ImportExportTools/

    Then you can it use to import existing e-mail files of the old profile. Note that e-mail files are those without file extension, for example, "Inbox" or "sent".

    If there is anything else, you can retrieve it from the old profile, see this article.
