  • When I go to open a file a box comes up to choose what program I want to open with.

    When I go to open a file a box comes up to choose what program I want to open with.  At the bottom of this box is a place where I'm supposed to be able to check who always says "use this program to open this file" I can't check this box.  I open office.org and it allows to automatically save in this format.  Microsoft word program has been installed on my computer and he began to do what I said above then my daughter-in-law.  I've since removed the Microsoft Word program, but it continues to make me choose program to open whenever I try to open a document that was created after she comes to settle the Microsoft word porgram.  Now, even if I had clicked on save in openoffice.org, with that I always get this box asking me what program I want to open.  Thank you for your help.  Marilyn.

    I guess the box to "always use the selected program to open this kind of file" is grayed out, and that's why you can not check it out.  Is this correct?  Is this true for the two files that were created in OpenOffice files AND that were created in Microsoft Word (note that created is the same that that edited not)?

    In OpenOffice, make sure that the "automatic file name extension" option is enabled in the file "Save as" dialog box.

    • Click on "My Documents" (or open Windows Explorer and go everywhere where your documents).
    • Click Tools > Folder Options and then click the view tab

    • Click OK

    Find one or more files that is causing problems.  Which file extensions are displayed (3 characters after the dot in the filename) on these files?

    When I leave early to Mozilla Firefox or Explorer, I get a menu of recommended programs and asked me to choose the program with which to open the file. When I do, I get a security warning asking if I really want to do. If I check "Run", I get redirected to the previous list, and I find myself in a circle without end. It does not matter what choice to make. Used to be that I went from starting Firefox directly.  I can get in if I have Firefox right click and choose to run the file as an administrator and then give permission to open the program. How can I cut these two additional and direct access, that I used to enjoy. I run Vista. The same thing happens if I have to explore. Would be grateful for the help.

  • Shortcuts to programs, EXE files does not open (you will be asked which program I want to use to open the file)

    My system has developed a strange (and annoying) issue that no longer allows me to double click on the shortcuts of programs or EXE files.  When I do, I give myself a menu asks me what program I want to use to open the file, as if I was trying to open a file with an extension that is not associated with.

    The only way to get all the programs to run more is to right click on the shortcut and select "Run as Administrator".

    Right click on the shortcut also reveals a new 'momentum' (Yes, spelled with one S tiny) option in the menu.  I have not tried it works, in my view, it could be related to some false recently-removed security software that appeared out of nowhere last night.

    Any help to remedy this situation and get back to normal functionality would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

    If program shortcuts are not no longer works, you will need to use a procedure special difficulty fo files .lnk (similar to the one used above with .exe files).

    Go to http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/22/reset-and-fix-broken-windows-vista-file-ext-and-type-associations-include-exe-com-sys-zip-lnk-folder-drive/ and select the .lnk and run it.  That should fix your shortcuts.  Or you can use the link provided above by Michael Murphy - it does essentially the same thing.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • I can't open anything without: "choose which program you want to use to open the file with" and "Application not found".

    I got a used computer and it worked fine for a while. I guess that I did something for her, because now I had a problem with the opening just like files and almost all of the icons in the start menu. I found someone had mentioned this on another post, but it has not been answered and I have the same problem:

    "I don't know what to do. I tried reseting IE back to its "settings by default, but nothing seems to work. It doesn't let me open any programs on my computer.

    It's the best way I can explain this problem. I've had this problem for a while now and I have looked everywhere for an answer and still nothing. It would be great to get help, thank you!

    This problem has not helped me with my problems to download iTunes correctly, that's why I set out to solve this problem in the first place. I also get a lot of it popping up every 10 minutes:
