• Displays the properties of all my .dll files are applications of unknon, which gives me an option to choose an application to open it with. I need help. thxs

  Here is an example of the properties of one of my .dll files: c:\windows\system32\microsoft.ManagementConsole.dll - file Type: unknown Application - opens with: unknown Application - (if I try to open it, it asks me to choose in my list, or search the Web for an application)

  My problem is, I don't know what the hell I do! Laughing out loud. I don't even know now why I even noticed it.  Anyway, I guess my question is 1) should I I even try to choose an application to open .dll files, or is it a security setting, so I won't be able to open the files that I have no business opening? (2) my properties should apply real knon, instead of saying we don't know? How do I find a list of file names that tell you what you should choose to open different applications or extensions?

  I appreciate all help. I fear I can screw up my laptop and I'm on League when it comes to such things.

  Thanks again for any useful information. :)

  What you see, it's normal.  It is not possible for a user to directly open a .dll (Dynamic Link Library) file.   The file contains functions that can use other programs, but it cannot open or run by itself.

• After the removal of a virus, shortcuts are now asking what program to open it with Vista

  I have kaspersky anti virus and it has detected a virus, deleted and I thought everything was fine, but when I click on something like the calculator, Notepad, firefox, whatever it is, it asks me to choose what program I want to open it instead of open it automatically. This isn't a big deal, but it is very irritating and annoying. Other profiles on my computer seem to be. The account is not an administrator account, but has information, I want to keep. Any advice would be appreciated. I ran several other spyware and antivirus scans and all my computer ratio is not affected. Thanks again

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  .lnk are shortcut files (shortcuts are usually what you have on your desktop and the start menu).  If inadvertently, you tried to right click on a shortcut and choose "open with...". ", you can breaking their properties.

  Because the associations are complex and the registry can be dangerous, the best way to solve your problem is to use the system restore to fix system associations when returning parameters at the same time that they last worked properly.  Here's how:

  1 - Hold down the Windows key and type R to open the Run dialog box.

  2 - paste in this command: %systemroot%\system32\rstrui.exe

  3 - follow the instructions to restore your system at a time before, it was working fine.
