• Program not available in the dialog box to choose the default programs?

  Hello

  I've seen use 7-Zip for about two months after using WinRAR and really enjoy. However, I could not make up the 7 - Zip context menu, so I downloaded and installed 64-bit instead of the version 32-bit I used (I have a 64 - but machine).
  However, once I did it, Windows has not found the original 7 - Zip program, then I tried to choose the default program for 7 - Zip again. In the menu "choose program by default", I couldn't find the Z - Zip program. Even after the conclusion of the executable manually through 'Browse', the windows would show not 7-Zip as an option to open the file.
  I also tried:
  "Set default programs".
  -"Associate a file type or Protocol with a program."
  -Resettlement of 7 - Zip
  -Restarting my computer
  -Suspension and unsuspending my computer
  The only program of the 7-Zip file, it can open is 7 - Zip Console, but appears not to work either (as I expected).
  Any help would be appreciated!
  Thank you

• In "set your default programs" under Win7, file associations of Firefox are altered.

  "Set your default programs" in the control panel of Windows 7, Firefox appears in the list of "Programs" on the left. But its icon is that of Windows Media Player.

  After I click on the name of the program (Firefox) to see the details on the right, I noticed that Firefox icon becomes that of Windows Media Player, also. And "Mozilla Corporation" becomes "Microsoft Corporation".

  If I click on "Set this program as default", files of these types are opened by Windows Media Player, no Firefox:
  htm, html, shtml, xht, xhtml.

  So I must manually associate these file types Firefox to "associate a type of file or Protocol with a specific program.

  To resolve this problem, should what registry entries I change?

  You can try to uninstall and reinstall Firefox, perhaps as an administrator.

  Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

  Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

  • Firefox 24: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html

  Uninstall your current version of Firefox, if possible, the settings in the software security and cleaning of the Windows registry.

  • Do NOT remove the data personal when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because all profile files will be deleted and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords from other versions of Firefox profiles.

  Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

  • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
  • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.
  • It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox

  Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but make sure that 'delete personal data' is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

• Default programs/Set non-cooperating associations

  Until recently, all of the photos in "My pictures" albums (and I have many) were visible at a glance. now, they are a bunch of icons undiscernable.  I quickly found that none of my .jpg pictures would open (Photo Viewer) and tried to change the default program for the "set Associations" of the Live Photo Gallery Photo Viewer.  It won't, or she will allow me to restore the default value, which is presented as photo viewer.   It is absurd to think I have to go through hundreds of photos and manually rename .jpeg to view them with Live Photo Gallery.  It is even more ridiculous that I must now manually open a countless number of pictures to find the ONE that I might be looking.  How can I get this fixed in order to have my photos easily visible.  At least if you please tell me how I can, or why I can't reset my default to mitigate the current .jpg .jpeg problem vs.  Thank you!

  He does.  My first thought was this option in Folder Options may have gotten turned on so that it shows no more thumbnails, but it would be a global option, so if some types of files work, it won't be the culprit.

  

  My next concern is this default handler that you mentioned.  Looks like you may have been involved in the section "associate a file type", so I would try it if possible (forgive me if you already have):

  

  If this is done, or does not work, I ask a follow-up more - do you remember when the problem started?

• Setting default Indesign program with multiple installed versions of Snow Leopard

  Hello

  once having 2 versions of installed Indesign (CS4 and CS5), Snow Leopard using CS5 as the default application to open INDD files.

  Usually if you want to set a particular program as program by default, you do a right click on the file, go to 'get Info', then 'open with' and choose the applications in the drop-down menu, and then just below "any change". In general, this program has become the default program. It worked all the time except in this case. When you try to set Indesign CS4 as the default program for all INDD files (use 99% of the time and all CS4 INDD system files were created using CS4) it won't let me use the button "change everything". It goes automatically back to CS5. I want Indesign CS4 for the default program.

  Any suggestion is appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Solution the easiest I have for you based on what you are after. It takes just a hair more than 40 seconds to do it on my mac.

• When I open "Set your default programs" in my list of programs by default, Internet Explorer is not listed. Nothing happens when I try to add using "Set Program Access and Computer Defaults"

  It started when the links in my Windows Mail messages stopped working. I received an "Application not found" error when I clicked on a link in an e-mail. I went online to find an answer and told everything to use the list of default programs. But IE is not on it and I cannot Explorer to display in the list, no matter what I do. It is, however, listed as my browser program by default when I go to IE tools > Internet Options > programs.

  At the same time links Windows Mail has stopped working, IE icon disappeared from my office. However, I was able to restore, and that seems to work very well, like the Explorer himself. I tried to reset the default settings of IE using tools > Internet OPtions (although that I changed the personal settings), but that does not make the difference.

  Also, it seems that the 2nd IE icon (which looks like a small page, rather than the usual 'e' with halo) on my bar launch and in my programs. When I click on that, I get a message saying "Windows searches for IExplore.exe. To locate the file yourself,... "And then it says the shortcut has been changed or moved. This would be part of the problem?

  Hello purgould,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

  You have whatever it be listed in your programs by default, or is it completely empty?
  If there is nothing listed, you can view the link here which has a solution that helped some people.

  If you don't have some programs listed in default programs, then that would probably not help.
  Have you tried doing a SFC/scannow?

  Try the following steps:

  First of all, we run System File Checker to see if you have a corrupt file system.

  Click Start

  Click on all programs

  Click Accessories, and then right-click on the command prompt.

  Select the Security tab and choose "Run as Administrator"

  Click on command prompt

  Type SFC/scannow.

  It will scan and repair any damaged operating system files.

  If please reply back and let us know if this helped with your question.

  Hi weskifmtwo,

  Default programs can be changed to Bridge preferences.

  Open deck Preferences > file Type of Association.

  Select the program you want to open any specific file format.

  It shows no PS CC 2015 but it shows PS CC (default).  How to view the choice of the PS CC 2015.

  This is because the bridge have no script enabled for Photoshop CC 2015 start.
