Thr bad programs are set to open the incorrect files
I have major problems, and I tried to solve this problem for a while. Currently, Adobe Reader is ready to just open the start menu and Skype, OpenOffice, Quick Time Player, and AVG 2011 on my desktop. All my OpenOffice Writer documents open with Notepad and it's driving me crazy. Open Office does not open and I need!
I tried to change the program by 'open with' and "choose program by default", but none of the default ones are the right ones. Help!
It happened for a few days and I tried to restore the files.
Looks like your file associations have got blurred.
If this has not been a problem for too long, the best way to clean things up is to do a system restore to a time before you had this problem:
"How to restore Windows XP to a previous state"
<>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/306084 >
Otherwise, it's fixed for certain types of files available here:
'Windows XP file Association problems'
<>http://www.dougknox.com/XP/file_assoc.htm >
Finally, you can manually reconfigure your file associations on a basis of extension-by-extension:

By double clicking on a file in Windows Explorer it only starts the program it does not open the actual file. 1 program, all the others still work ok.
This option is used to work, I installed a viewer of this program option (it's a based CAD program) and after that I uninstalled the viewer that he would not even start the program, he was trying to launch the viewr. I noticed that the file association was still for the Viewer so I changed it back, but he now throws only program. Under right click, properties, file Type: it is said the extension only where it used to say the name of the program.
Thank you

Original title: open Firefox and explore
When I leave early to Mozilla Firefox or Explorer, I get a menu of recommended programs and asked me to choose the program with which to open the file. When I do, I get a security warning asking if I really want to do. If I check "Run", I get redirected to the previous list, and I find myself in a circle without end. It does not matter what choice to make. Used to be that I went from starting Firefox directly. I can get in if I have Firefox right click and choose to run the file as an administrator and then give permission to open the program. How can I cut these two additional and direct access, that I used to enjoy. I run Vista. The same thing happens if I have to explore. Would be grateful for the help.

Adobe Audition can be set to automatically open the m4a files in OSX
I posted this in the Apple OSX forum, a few days ago and they directed me here. I'm under hearing 5.0.2 under OS x 10.6.8
Hearing may open m4a files in using the command open, but when I use Get Info (from the Finder) to put all the m4a files to open with hearing, hearing is grayed out. All other audio programs on my mac are recognized as being able to open the m4a files, but not an audition.
How can I tell OSX this hearing is able to open the m4a files (I do all the time), so that I can put all the m4a files to open in the hearing?
If you do a right click or CMD + click a m4a file, select open with..., click other..., you are able to choose the application Adobe Audition CC? Here is my system dialog box:

My Cookie file was corrupted in data and my programs continually pop up with the 'corrupt file' error when a program opens, pointing to \Users\name\Appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies.
The problem is, Chkdsk will not fix this, and I can't access the file. This opens up a world of problems when I need to fix this error, so I can upgrade to Windows 7. Help, please!
I just ran the scan again. He said of the errors found, but could not be repaired.
This problem actually has nothing to do with internet explorer. It's the cookies folder that is corrupt in the Windows folder in roaming. The error file is in conjunction with the programs, that I try to run (AIM, Skype, so forth). Trying to enter the folder it says it's corrupt. I don't know what is the root of the problems or how to solve this problem, but these measures have not helped so far. Regarding the repair, I will try that next.

Windows cannot find the program to open the exe file
I did the windows repair option by restarting then pressed f8 to get to come repair options. I did it to try to remove a number of problems of virus on my laptop. It seems that it has solved the problem, but now when I try to access one of my desktop icon shortcuts it indicates that windows cannot find the program to open the exe file. She does it with every shortcut. I can access the location of the program and then select open with and it will be opened in this way, but there is not and I have to select each time. Another option that works is a right-click on the icon and selecting 'start' and who will run the program properly. Other than simply double-click the icons automatically no longer works since I did this repair.
Windows Startup Repair fixed my problem, but now my desktop icons not properly opens with double-click
