Need to change a file extension to unknown App/Program...please don't ask! Laughing out loud

I made a HUGE mistake and changed a file type to open to use, now he and many others does not open.  They are called: .ico and .cur files.  They were initially reported having one: unknown or an Application program to open.  This isn't a list anywhere to return.

Yes, I was just looking around for a new cursor and devastated havok likely to see soon!  These are system files, I want to talk to, good course!

I need to change as: unknown App / or program used to open them.  But where can I find that?  It lists only IE, Word, Adobe Media Player, etc..  Help?

Running Windows IE 8, Vista Ultimate, all systems are updates needed for the model.  Please, can everyone you help me to change these files... I don't know, no courses please.

Thank you very much!!!

    I need to change a file type of processing to doc, pdf, txt or html. the site that I am trying to download a file needs in one of these formats. THX

    A complete answer would require that we know what "word processing" you use.  However, one of the types of files that are acceptable as 'pdf', you can install 3rd party freeware "CutePDF Writer" on your computer:

    CutePDF: <> http://www.cutepdf.com/products/cutepdf/writer.asp >

    Note that you need to install CutePDF and Ghostscript (both on the site) on your machine.  After you do, you will find that you have another printer on your computer named "CutePDF Writer".  Print the file of word processing for this virtual printer.  When you do so, it ask for a place to store your PDF file.  Give it a name and location, and it will create a PDF file for you.   Excellent Freeware (among my top 10) and works with any application you can print from.  Especially good for saving recipes online so that you don't waste any ink/paper.

    Please look at the doc_config.htm file to the location /Oracle_ECM1/ucm/idc/resources/core/tables/doc_config.htm

    This is the file that helps in the construction of the applet display.

    Hi Halasz,

    You can get what you want to use, for example a/l FOR command from the command prompt:

    • [Win] + X
    • Command prompt
    • CD /D drive:------DirectoryWhereYourFilesAreStored
    • Type of / l %G in (1,1,100) @If are TEXT. %G Ren TEXT in the file. File G % File%G.txt, and then press [Enter]

    Notes

    1. Respect the %G everywhere capital elsewhere, the command will fail. If your decide to use "%g" instead of "%G" and then use "%g" everywhere for the same reason. You can also decide to use another letter...
    2. If you have more than 100 files replace the parameter appears in bold with the appropriate value.

    There is necessarily a way to do something smarter, but it would take a little thought and a batch development. Not sure whether what you need at the moment.

    a. right click on the file and select Properties.

    b. click Advanced on the general tab.

    c. Uncheck Compress contents to save disk space.

  • How can I change the file type extension?

    Help please!

    I was working in Paint.net and thought that my changes have been saved but I incorrectly saved in Paint.net it as 'nom.1' and making it inaccessible to paint.net or any program being the type of file 'file '.  I then changed the name of "long.bmp", and who seemed like he did to be accessible but Paint.net is still not open it.  On another file that I made the same mistake on, I changed the name to "name2.pdn" that worked and I am able to open it properly.  I tried to change the name on the premiere of "name.pdn" in Windows Explorer, but for this file, it only changes the name "name.pdn" and not the extension.  It's always a ".bmp" file  How can I change to a file real '.pdn '?

    And the Google link also specifically mentions the file extensions too.

    See if you can get your hands on this program.  It allows to rename the files so that they have no extension.  Then use it to set a fixed file on these files without extension renamed extension.  It worked for me so it could for you.

  • automatic change of files to store data

    Hello

    I have a stand-alone system that works with 7 serial ports.

    I need to store a huge amount of data (115,200 Kbaud / port) because the system must continue to work for a week.

    In two days, I have a file size of over 500Mbytes. The problem is that I'm storing the data in a .txt file and then, when I want to the process, with the data, the computer laptop can´t open a file so the size.

    I can´t find a way in which the vi can change in real-time (himself) the file to store the data.
    Maybe the way is to create 3-4 files before the while loop (in which I read the data), and then change the file in which to store the data, but I can´t find a way to do it. With the get_file_size.vi that I know when I need to change the file, but how I have to do without leaving the whole loop? In my view, necessary to ensure that the visa_read.vi works...

    maybe better or another format or way to store data?

    It does not matter of data loss while changing the file.

    Someone at - it an idea?
