On my desk, all file associations have changed & all extensions have become ".lnk" instead of ".exe". So I can't run any program without going through 'my computer '.
When the problem persisted for 3-4 days, I thought to check the properties of the file "", & that's when I learned that even though she describes the file type as 'application', she has a ".lnk" extension I deleted the shortcut & set it to new, but who has not resolve it. I ran "anti-virus", & he found.
Whenever I click any shortcut on the desktop, it asks me what program should be used to open it. Yesterday, I clicked on 'Internet Explorer' & changed the option "open with...". "for IE. By mistake, I uncheck the box 'always apply for this type of files', at the bottom of this window. So now, each item on the desk trying to open with IE.
All I want to do is retrieve these files & extensions associations. How can this be achieved? Any help? Apart from this, the laptop works well as before.
Thanks in advance.
Mitch.
Hello
. INK files are usually created on a Tablet PC
. LNK files are shortcuts
Have you done something that their renamed? By the program files you mean DATA or the actual programs
What should you run? Data files can be renamed to the correct extensions.

Packer of creative cloud in creating a package that I can install do not. He goes through the motions, download all updates, create setup file, but it does not work despite the fact that there are no errors in the log files
After hitting my head against the desk to repeatedly create packages, try on different computers I have finally found a solution.
These packages have been copied on an external drive, if I try and install from the external drive, which is a common practice, it fails.
If I then copy this file pkg from the outside, to the computer I install, then run it, it will to and moved very well.
That is mind-boggling stupid, because it's rare that you have to copy the file into any computer, it is less always installed off the coast of externally, and many people in the company are pushing on the network and the management of the suites so there is a serious problem in Adobe package manager if this is the case where it cannot manage the Middle installed offshore.
I hope that if anyone else is having problems so it suits.

Hello
1. did you of recent changes on the computer?
Method 1:
It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.
I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.
To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

Reset the computer to start as usual

(a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

(c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.
(d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.Method 2:
Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.
See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

I'm helping a friend fix his computer. He reports that, after restarting a auto update, if it tries to launch any application, it gets this error:
"The application failed to start because it side-by-side configuration is incorrect." Check the log of events applications for more details"
I checked. Attempting to run desktop applications will generate this error. However, I can launch the Control Panel, Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) and another at the level of the system features (the command line).
It seems that the C++ Redistributable packages have been damaged on his machine, so I downloaded the file vcredist_x86.exe Redistributable 2005 and 2008. Unfortunately, I can not run these files on his machine. You try to run generates them the same error generated by other applications.
I also tried to run the repair of a Vista feature install disk but that also causes the same error.
Can anyone suggest what to do here? I include below the exact text of the event log.
The activation context creation failed for 'Context by default in the system'. Error in manifest or policy file "C:\Windows\WinSxS\manifests\x86_microsoft.windows.c... - controls.resources_6595b64144ccf1df_5.82.6001.18000_en - us_9e72cfd97d4d7bf2.manifest" at line 0. Invalid Xml syntax.
I looked at this file. It's an XML that is formatted incorrectly. But I don't know how to fix it, or how to get a new copy of it. Any advice would be really appreciated.
