The word file I saved became a shortcut! and I can't open the file. How to restore the file?
It is a problem of "file association". Here is the complete list of all the "file Association" steps I've seen has proved useful before. There is no need to go beyond the stage that solved the problem, but all the "about your computer" & Microsoft controls are very well to do anyway - they would not hurt even if he did not fault. Most people seem to go directly to the last in the list.
On your computer
Run both the troubleshooters maintenance & Control Panel Performance, troubleshooting. [this is just a cleanup operation before more useful steps]
Control Panel, programs by default, set your default programs and associate any type of file or Protocol with a program
[Check IE only] Options Internet explorer, tools, Internet, programs - set are lacking
Microsoft links [read the descriptions on the first linked pages]
Difficulty of broken desktop shortcuts and common system maintenance tasks
Diagnose and repair Windows files and folders problems automatically
Return to another on your computer
Run the System File Checker How to use the tool File Checker system to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or Windows 7 There is additional guidance on this subject in sfc.exe/scannow
and then, if necessary,
3 party links [read the descriptions on the page linked first of all to make sure it matches your symptoms - only this get you far if you]

Maybe if you check Photoshop on the cover page of the victory 8 and choose Run as administrator from the options bar at the bottom of the page and then do the Ctrl Alt Shift.

All of a sudden my pictures folders are now all show in Windows Media Player and I can't open each photo in full screen, but only in the video display mode. When I go to my pictures and choose view as thumbnails, that's fine, but when I click on the individual photo, it shows on the screen no video not in mode full screen and I can't move the photo to the photo without closing the video screen. How can I get my pictures on Windows Media Player?
This problem has now been resolved. I went in my computer > tools > Folder Options > file Type, select the type of file and clicked on advanced then > change and changed back to Windows Picture and Fax Viewer in Windows Media Player. I had the idea of a response posted on this forum about a different issue, but who pointed me in the right direction.

Compacted Outlook Express and save some of my emails. Now, I need access to the following, but can not open them. How to reopen these emails?
Hi Redtiger1705,
Lost emails immediately after compact preforming?If so, Outlook Express creates BAK files before compaction. They are copied there as a precaution, in case something goes wrong with the compaction. The following steps should help those rear:
1) open Outlook Express and go to tools, Options, maintenance, store folder. Copy the entire path to the storage folder, and then click OK. Close Outlook Express.(2) go to the basket and search for all files with the .bak extension. Restore the most recent .bak files. That he will put in the OE store folder, but still like a BAK file.
(3) click on start, run and paste the path that you copied in step 1 in the run box, and then press ENTER.
4) click Tools, Folder Options. In the Folder Options window, click the view tab.(5) less advanced, uncheck the "Hide extensions for known file types".(6) you should see the two sent a Sent Items.dbx from the file as well as the Items.bak. Rename the Sent Items.DBX to Sentold.dbx and Rename Items.Bak sent to Sent Items.DBX. When you open OE, your messages sent items must be restored.Please let me know if I can be of further assistance!Cody C

All my photos suddenly have the extension .cfog added to the end of the name, and I can't open them. That's happened?
Hi David,
It's because you have installed CloudFogger, which protects your files in enrcytpt them to ensure safety for DropBox or GoogleDrive. Probably, you have not installed the program, that's why it shows all files with the extension .cfog I you Explorer.Re-install the program and you connect to your account back on your files. -

Could you be more specific as to what you were doing.
Try this:
Restore point:
http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/
Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.
Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.
Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...
Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.
http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm
Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.
See you soon.
