Right click > menu > open with > choose default program "this program has no an associated program to perform this action...". »

I get this dialogue whenever I try to choose to open one file with other than the default program. Sometimes, there are some programs to choose and they work but when I select "choose default program" all I get is this dialogue. This also applies when there is no program to choose from. The biggest headache is when there is no association at present such as .db files which could create a storage backup or similar program. When I right-click on these files, I get the dialogue immediately. Windows 7 - all to this day. (I'm aware of files, newspapers and others if necessary and has already attempted a difficulty with sfc/scannow as administrator.) He suggested some files cannot be repaired and showed me the log file. Everything in the log file was 'OK').

A registry of missing/incorrect key may cause this error. Apply the difficulty #12 'Open with' error "this file does not have a program associated with from this link (unzip and run the REG file)."

(FYI, the REG file is a file in plain text that you can open with Notepad, where you need to check its contents before the merger).

  • 'Right click menu/open in a new window' does not-nothing happens.

    When I right click on a link, a menu very long comes with many choices that have nothing to do with the links (like 'copy image'). When I select "open in new window' or 'open in a new tab', nothing happens. I've just updated to the latest version of FF yesterday (08/05/13). I don't have whatever it is personalized for the new facility. Before to install the new everything worked fine.

    Hello lindal, this is most likely caused by an outdated addon. one of them is firebug, so in case you have installed, please upgrade to the latest version.

  • When I right click, right-click menu opens, but is on the left side. How to make it right?

    When I right click on the menu, the menu bar drop-down click menu to open correctly, down to the right of the mouse pointer, but the problem I have is that where never otherwise I right-click such as office, for example, menu opens downwards and to the left of the mouse pointer. It is very annoying and I have found no way to change this. It worked very well upward until a week ago. I did not alter the settings by default and even tried the "reset default" option under settings of the mouse, but still did not set. Help, please!

    I found the answer to this, and here's how to solve this problem, if anyone else needs it. I think, in the last update, it changed side menu under the Tablet PC settings. Here's how to fix it:

    Click Start, type Tablet PC settings

    Click on the Tablet PC settings link from the start menu search results

    In the Tablet PC Settings dialog box, under handedness, selectleft-handed.

    When this option is selected, the context menus appear on your right, which is the default setting. The only exception is that when there is not enough real estate available on the right to display screen context menu, Windows displays the menu on the left hand side automatically.

  • Right-click to open the jpg in photoshop disappeard

    Greetings,

    Not sure why the option 'Open with' disappeared while trying to open a jpg or png format in Photoshop cs6.  Scenario - I have photoshop cs6 open a new document, I train.  I go to my bridge and attempt to open a jpg file in photoshop cs6 I want to add to my document.  Previously, I was able to right click and open it directly in photoshop cs6.  However, as I said first of all, the option with a right-click to "open with" for photoshop cs6 is not displayed, but Adobe Illustrator cs6 is still.  Until recently, the open option with photoshop cs6 was always available.  I don't know what I could have done to make the photoshop cs6 option disappear, but it is certainly annoying.  Would appreciate suggestion on to reset this option.

    Thank you

  • my photo in windows app 8 has no option to crop or change at all as it is supposed too. Do a right click to open the photos with other programs either. Everyone? Ideas?

    I read everything I can and can't find anything.  Even the support forum shows the application photo with harvest and turn like their screenshot for windows 8.  If I go into my library in windows 8, the only thing I can do is to "visualize".  Others of the edition with the paint opening and right click.  I don't even have this option.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  This is a new computer and a new operating system.  Everything seems difficult when you have to google all the simple tasks and cannot locate the necessary elements...  Help, please!

    I finally figured it... Unfortunately as a new user, I missed what is obvious.  There was an update with all these features available for photo enforcement.  If you're under the new Windows 8 like I am, you will find all your updates to your application under the Flagstone "STORE".   Ironically, I had even spoken with Microsoft and surprisingly not ever made a single mention of it.  It is not my product so I feel better to miss what is obvious.  Microsoft cannot say the same.

  • Right-click menu changed: used to be the first "Open link in a new window", "Open link in a new tab" second; in 4.0, the opposite is true. Can I customize 4.0 to switch back?

    Right-click menu changed: used to be the first "Open link in a new window", "Open link in a new tab" second; in 4.0, the opposite is true. Can I customize 4.0 to switch back?

    To change the order of these items, use the following:

    You must update the following (your versions have known security problems):

    • Shockwave Flash 10.2 r152
    • Next-generation Java plug-in 1.6.0_22 for Mozilla browsers
    1. Check your plugin versions on one of the following links:

    2. Update the Flash plugin to the latest version.
      • Download and SAVE to your desktop, so you can find the Setup program later
      • If you do not have the current version, click on the "Player Download Center" link on the 'download and information' or 'Download manual installers' below
      • Once the download is complete, exit Firefox
      • Click on the installer, you just download and install
        • Windows 7 and Vista: will need to right click on the installer and choose 'run as administrator '.
      • Launch Firefox and recheck your version or up to the download link below to test the installation
      • Download and information: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
        • Use Firefox to go to the site above to update the Firefox plugin (will also install the plugin for most other browsers, except IE)
        • Use IE to go to the site above to update the ActiveX to IE
      • Download manual installers.
    3. Update the Java plugin to the latest version.
  • By selecting 'Open in a new tab' right-click menu does nothing

    I just updated to firefox 24 on OXS. The right click menu now is meaningless.

    When I right click on a web link, and select 'Open in new tab', nothing happens. No tab opens.

    However, I see now countless options irrelevant for that link, such as 'copy the audio location', 'copy the location of the image', 'play', 'pause', etc., when the article I have clicking on is not an image, audio, video or any other type of media. The content of the right click menu is now longer than my entire screen, completely out of place for the link I'm clicking on and the only option that is relevant does nothing.

    How can I fix?

    I had the same problem. I found that disable Firebug in my Extensions menu solved the problem, so when I right click it appears the menu of standard options rather than the new options 100 or so which do not apply.

    If you have installed too much Firebug, you might want to give this a shot. I have not upgraded my Firebug in no time so it might be a problem with running an older version of it.

    Hope that helps

  • icon of the taskbar right-click menu 'task' gone

    When I right click on the taskbar icon, I used to get several options, including a section called tasks. However, for about two days, I now only get three options of Mozilla Firefox, remove this program from the taskbar and close the window. I don't know where the options to open a new tab, open a new window, etc. I did change all the parameters of topic: config and tried to reinstall firefox without success. If there is a possible fix, please help.

    Hello

    A defective Explorer shell extension in the right click menu seems to be the problem. It could also be linked to the third-party software.

    Follow the method 1 and method 2 to resolve this problem.

    Method 1:

    To check if the problem is caused by a third-party application, put your system at startup boot and see if right click works fine then.

    See this article for more details.

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Method 2:

    To see if the Explorer shell extension is corrupted or not, open the registry editor and save the selected branch, remove managers of context menus one by one.

    Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following link.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/back-up-the-registry

    Open the registry editor and save the branch selected, delete management context menus one by one.

    To access the Registry Editor:

    (a) go to start and type regedit.exe.

    (b) managers of context menus are located in

    ·        [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFileSystemObjects\shellex\ contextmenuhandlers]

    ·        [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\contextmenuhandlers]

    ·        [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\contextmenuhandlers]

    (c) select 'Register' - 'Export register', so you can restore your changes later. Choose to export only the selected branch.

    (d) now remove a context menu Manager after another, and then every time try (Windows Explorer) if right click works again. In this way, you should find the faulty extension.

    (e) when you've found, you must double-click on the .reg created above to restore all shell extensions and then only delete the faulty extension.

    Also check the properties of sensitivity of touchpad and mouse under the controls of the mouse.
