  Great, I can help you right now.  Just open your C:\Users\Peggy\Downloads folder.  While you're looking at him, make a right click on the file icon and choose 'Open with', then "Choose program" you can get the Notepad in the list.

  Here is an example. This example is Windows 7, so it seems a little different, but the steps are the same:

  1. Right click on the file
  2. Go to "open with".
  3. Choose "Notepad."  If Notepad is not listed, use the option "choose by default" to find Notepad instead.

  This will open the file for you to view the data inside.

• Attachments: "this file has no program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the control panel to define the Associations. "

  When I click on some attachments a box that says: "this file has no program associated with it for performing this action.  Create an association in the control panel to define the Associations. "  I don't know how to do this (if I'm unable to view these attachments).

  How to do would be to install the appropriate program to open attachments if it is not installed, if it is installed the easiest to set the association would be to save a copy of the file on the desktop, right-click and select "open with...". "in the context menu, and then select the appropriate program if it is shown in the dialog box or use search to find it if it is not.

  Hi NoPCgeek,
   
  1. what program do you use to read the file present on the CD?
  2. What is the format of the file present on the CD?
   
  Before playing the files on the CD, make sure you cross check if you have the right program installed on the computer. If you have not installed the right program, then we recommend you to install the program that supports the file type and use them to read the files on the CD.
   
  You can also change the default program to read this file. The program opens the file only if the file format is supported by the latter.
  See Change that uses default Windows programs

• Try to run programs .exe produces the error message "this file has no program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the control panel to define the Associations. "

  Hi all

  Help needed please.

  HP dx2250 microtower, running Windows Vista Home Basic Edition, recently attacked by Vista Antispyware 2010. Norton 360 V3 dealt with rather late the virus, but the fall of the remains.

  I am unable to open any .exe file (program) on the desktop, start menu, or through the browser. I can access the programs in opening a data file, for example, double-click a .doc file opens MS Word, etc.

  The error message "this file has no program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the control panel to define the Associations. "

  I tried an automated solution that is available via the forums (exefix_cu.reg) and also a manual suggestion to change the registry, also available through the forum.

  I also splashed by and purchased Regcure, who seems to have done no difference despite who claims to have removed 1500 odd errors. So I'll be request the refund on that one.

  I scanned the forums and found a large number of similar problems, but not one that is as complete as this.

  Any help much appreciated

• I get the message: "this file has no program associated with it for performing this action. create an association in the control panel of binding together.

  Every time I try and open things on my computer, like internet explorer, windows player media, Aim, or my music etc. etc. files I get this message "this file has no program associated with it for performing this action. create an association in the control panel of binding together.

  I don't know what that means. He started to do so after we have some malicious and unwanted software on our computer. I thought it was because of the problems, but it didn't disappear after the computer has been fixed. Can I run programs as an administrator. But how do I get it back, just double click and the program opens as usual?
