Remove a completely file extension association

I received a file which is a compressed executable file.  Like a ZIP executable file, which when double-clicked, will run and automatically extract multiple files.  I've accidentally associated with Adobe Reader, if the file behaves as a .pdf file. I want the file to have no association with any program, I want to just run it.  How can I remove the association of a file extension, then it will work as an .exe or .com file?

I thank very you much for any help.

  • file extension association to open only a single instance

    Hello

    I see this question posted in several forums on the internet, but I'm not able to find a definitive and functional solution. Here's the problem:

    When I do a combination of file extension to my request, if I select more than one file and then select open from the context menu, I get multiple instances of my application, one for each selected file.

    The same commenting on my application, I already put code to limit the app to run a single instance. Normally works, however, by selecting several files and then by selecting the command open, it seems that the code that check whether a previous instance is running realized too late, the system starts already several open orders.

    Is there a way to tell Windows to open the list of files selected in an instance unique app? If so, how.

    Thank you.

    Hi Mary,

    Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community. According to the description of the problem you want to remove the Windows Photo Viewer option in the file association list.

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to remove the Windows Photo Viewer option in the file association list as it is an integrated program of design.

    You can see these articles for more information:

    Change the programs that Windows uses by default

    When you run an .exe on a Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 computer file, the file can start another program

    I hope this helps. Let us know if you need more assistance.

    Are you sure the file extension?

    If this is the case, you need an Excel Viewer to read these files:

    Trying to open an attachment with the file extention .zmc I accidentally agrees to always open this type of file with adobe reader.  Do work, but I can not cancel the default, only change and I don't know what to take.  Any ideas?

  • Use of the BAT file - how do you completely remove 150 phones and their associated DNs?

    How do you remove completely 150 phones and their associated DNs? All phones are in the same pool of device. I prefer the way bat.

    The CUCM version: 8.6.2

    Type of phones: 7962 phones - associated with the same device pool.

    Other questions: is there a way to remove all phones and their associated DNs with elegance when all phones are associated with the same mass of device? I rather not work with extensions and MAC addresses.

    Thank you

    Hug Lupas

    Hello hug,

    Using the BAT, it will take 2 - passes. 1 for unassigned phones and 1 for "DN". This is well illustrated in the attached doc;

    http://www.Cisco.com/c/en/us/TD/docs/voice_ip_comm/CUCM/bat/8_0_1/bat-80...

    Of course for the DN you could remove through the road map report > unassigned DN > select all > delete

    See you soon!

  • I cannot select table jump extensions associated with lost data files?

    Hi ~.
    I need your help to recover my database.

    I use oracle 9.2.0.8 to Fedora 3 with mode-archive.
    and I have no backup.

    Last night, I have experienced hard drive failure.
    I tried the recovery at the level of the BONE, but I lost some data from the tablespace files.

    in any case, I wanted to recover my database without the data of lost data files.

    then, I published 'drop alter database datafile offline' and
    Start the oracle instance.

    But, data files were not eliminated from dba_data_files view and
    extensions associated with lost data files were not removed from dba_extents view!

    Query a selection table containing extensions associated with lost data files.
    I have "ORA-00376: file xxx cannot be interpreted at this time" message.

    So, my question is that...
    HOW CAN I SELECT TABLE WITHOUT EXTENSIONS RELATED TO THE LOSS OF DATA SCANNING FILES?

    Thank you.

    Hello
    Without being in archivelog and without backup, can't make any sort of recovery. This is why the backups and archivelog are so important.

    The offline data file command never actually drops the data file. It simply tells the control file now the tablespace of the said is also abandoned. It refreshes not any notice that the files are not supposed to be used or shown more than you.

    What documentation is the recovery of the database in the mode NoARch.
    http://download.Oracle.com/docs/CD/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/osrecov.htm#i1007937

    Do you need a backup in order to recover the tables being played. Oracle is not have all the features that can currently out / skip missing extensions for you and you can read the data without them.

  • How can I remove "set up files" and completely reload windows xp?

    How can I remove "set up files" and completely reload windows xp? They were installed when I tried to reload xp before and there is always a sp1 on the pc version now.

    This CD should work and it should be bootable.  It seems that if you always boot from the hard drive and then you look at the content of the CD-ROM in Windows Explorer.

    If the BIOS is set to boot from the CD, you should not get a menu asking which device to boot from.  At most, you will get something like "Press any key to boot from the CD-ROM."

    You have an another bootable CD that you know works or do you have another computer you can try this CD to see if it works correctly?

  • Help! A registry cleaner/duplicate file remover program deleted my file extensions!

    Help, please! A solvent cleaner/duplicate file registry program removed nearly all my file extensions, and I can't open any files excet a .pdf file. Several weeks ago, I went online looking for ways to increase my memory on my Windows XP Professional. I had no business playing with this stuff. I'm not tech savy. For some reason, I thought I knew what I was doing. I downloaded several different free programs, which were supposed to increase the memory on my hard drive. I don't know what program was the culprit, but she deleted my file extensions. Is there a free program that fixes / replaces all the typical file extensions? Please, please advise.

    Use system restore to return to a time before your error - this should restore the registry to its previous state and resolve the problem.

  • The Document Type ' ' will not be added because it uses a file extension that is already associated with a prior Document Type.

    I deleted the MMDocumentTypes.xml file in the folder Adobe Dreamweaver CC-> Configuration-> DocumentTypes 2014 and put it on the desktop. Also, I moved the Extensions.txt file similarly. After a reboot, I get the same error message. I uninstalled all one by one in all the places I could find extension (Extension Manager of Adobe Extension Manager/DMXzone /https://creative.adobe.com/my_addons), and I uninstalled and re-installed Dreamweaver... I always get this message. Please, tell me how I can get rid of this error message. It drives me crazy!

    Hi Ken,

    Thanks for your reply. All this happened because of DMXzone LESS CSS/LESS of COMPILER products. When I got CC2014 a few weeks ago, I went on a rampage download all extensions from the 'cool' app I could find like most new users CC. It was a big mistake. Half of them does not load properly, or they get errors. Download from the page "Add-ons" at your own risk. After you change the file extensions.txt and MMDocumentTypes.xml get rid of the original LESS definitions and redefine their, it is loaded without error, but the icons in the 'Create New' from the Welcome screen section disappeared. I deleted completely Dreamweaver again and this time I have included all the preferences. After a clean install with no preference files or extensions, I got working properly. I must say synchronization of cloud of Dreamweaver in CC saved a ton of time because he had my site definitions waiting for me. Stay out of the DMXzone, if you do not want to be in the area of damage control. =)

  • Automatic extension of a data file with the complete file system

    We are working on a database of Oracle10g 10.2.0.4 on HP - UX 11.31 (Itanium |) PA - RISC)

    We would create our database by activating the automatic Extension of our data files
    (defining the maximum size limit or unlimited)

    Our question is:
    What happens to the database in the event of complete file system when one of the data files should be automatically extended?
    The extended data file has become corrupted or the db cease its activity?


    Marco

    No data corruption should occur. If Oracle is trying to develop, OS it will send the message that it is not possible. That's all.
