    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.

    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

  • Shortcut to the file in spreadsheet gives the error "this file has no program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options Control Panel. "

    I have a user running XP Pro and Office 2003.  Whenever they double click a shortcut to a file of Excel spreadsheet, the above message appears.  Is not shortcut to Excel himself, this shortcut works very well.  He finds a shortcut on the desktop to a spreadsheet saved on the hard drive.  Outreach programs and failure to file are correct.  If you click on the actual spreadsheet of its location of origin rather than the shortcut, the file opens correctly.  I repaired Office and when that did not work, deleted and reinstalled, still the same problem.  This is not isolated to Excel or the other Word documents to the same thing, so I suspect that this is a problem in the registry.

    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

  • Explorer.exe shows error msg: "this file has no program associated with him...". »

    PROBLEM: Clicking on Windows 'Explorer.exe' (or the shortcut of the program itself) causes the following error msg (under the title: "explorer.exe"): "this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action."  "Please install a program or, if such is already installed, create an association in the default programs control panel".

    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Work around successful - even if it's not ideal - is the following: when I right click on the shortcut of windows Explorer, a list of folders "frequent" previously selected appears.   When I chose one, windows Explorer opens properly and points to the selected folder.   From there on, can I nagivate to any other directory/folder correctly.

    I fear, however, as to why the shortcut/program file themselves are causing the error message.

    I get the same error (this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action.)  Please install a program or, if such is already installed, create an association in the default programs control panel)

    More funny thing is that I can click on computer and Explorer works very well.  The shortcut on the taskbar and Windows Explorer under the accessories section are affected in this way.  All other files with exe extensions seem to work well.  I'm running Windows 7 32-bit version.

  • Error "this application has failed to start because normaliz.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

    Original title: error explorer.exe, Normaliz.dll is missing please help me about the issue.

    Hello

    I get the error "this application has failed to start because normaliz.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem"Please help me!

    Well - so much for the expertise of committed Microsoft Support Engineer 'experts', but no answer to what I expected.

    See how it works for you:

    If you see a message like this:

    Explorer.EXE - unable to locate component: this application has failed to start because Normaliz.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

    It is in the case Log:

    Event type: Information
    Event source: Application Popup
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 26
    Description:

    Application popup: Explorer.EXE - unable to locate component: this application has failed to start because Normaliz.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

    Start explorer.exe, but the normaliz.dll file.  If explorer.exe is not able to run, you will not be able to do much with your system until the replacement of normaliz.dll.

    You can click OK for errors and finished up in the Task Manager where you can try to fix it.  The message can keep popping up from time to time, while you're fixing it, so just click OK to close the message.

    If normaliz.dll is missing, you can copy it from a working system to the system afflicted with the same version of XP and Internet Explorer.

    You will get a good copy and put it on a floppy disk, thumb drive etc and copy it to your system plagued by using Manager tasks.

    The normaliz.dll file must be located in the c:\windows\system32 folder and therefore is not a Windows file protected, making the Microsoft Support Engineer 'experts' suggest running sfc/scannow, which is just another one of their prosecution of wild goose that will not work, he'll never work and it will only waste your time (and they don't tell you how to run either - if explorer.exe does not start).

    Then engaged Microsoft Support Engineer 'experts' will offer to you develop a copy of the file from the XP installation CD you probably haven't, but it is also not on your XP installation CD, and you will have the same problem try their suggestions to 'try' to start in any any Mode without failure, so this will not help you.  These "experts" seem to think that the Safe Mode boot or boot will replace magically missing files, but it doesn't.

    You also will be able to properly run a browser on the system afflicted to go on Internet download one.

    There is a large computer security risk in the normaliz.dll from some website download.  The best idea is to get a copy of normaliz.dll from another computer that has the same version of XP and IE and replace it from a USB device (which you can access from the Manager tasks), or using a system that works, you can download one of my SkyDrive.

    You can still use the Task Manager to run the system restore and bring it back, but I've never tried and never use SR in all cases.

    If you have recently done a bunch of Microsoft updates, you may have also gotten IE8 so maybe that something was wrong here although the normaliz.dll is the same for each version.

    When you see the error, you can click beyond it and eventually arrived at your screen background image where you can press CTRL-ALT-DEL to start Task Manager. TM, you can click file, new task, Browse and edit the menu drop-down "Files of type" to all files that you can see all the files in folders.

    Go to c:\windows\system32 to see if normaliz.dll is really missing. If the error appears again while browsing, just click OK to get past it.  The explorer.exe tries to run and cannot until the missing file is replaced.

    If it's the only thing missing, you can get one from a working system of the same type as yours, copy on a Flash DRIVE or a floppy disk and always using TM, to browse, copy and paste it where it should be or you can download one of my SkyDrive.

    TM, you can still access your thumb or any other medium the same disk by navigating, copy, paste, etc very well all work.  You use TM to navigate to your thumb or floppy disk, copy the normaliz.dll good and then paste it in the c:\windows\system32 folder, where it is supposed to be.

    If things get worse, just return to TM and remove the file back where you were in first place and continue troubleshooting.

    Using a system that works, you can also download a copy of the file from my SkyDrive and put it on a floppy or USB thumbdrive and networks diskettes for the distressed system.  Sandalenet means wear you the system afflicted by hand.

    I downloaded a copy of XP Pro SP3 file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

    You can download it and when you do, place a copy of the file in these two folders (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

    c:\Windows\System32

    Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:

    https://SkyDrive.live.com/?CID=6a7e789cab1d6f39&ID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

    When you see the files available for download, you can not see the file extension (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc.), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

    When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, your browser is unable to save the file with an extension (by example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.

    You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension.  You do not want to use a file called normaliz when the name of the file should really be called normaliz.dll (if the downloaded file has no extension, you will need to change the name of the file to add the appropriate extension to make it work.

    You then put the downloaded files in the correct folders on your system.

    That may not solve all your problems, but at least you will be spending this part and we can then fix the rest.
