Unable to open programs without the 'Open with' window popping up.

• How can I disable the 'Open with' window that appears whenever I start?

  My desktop pc using Windows 7 Home Premium. For years, I want to start with nothing default opening. Each time, the choice of what to open were made manually by me.

  For some reason that I don't understand, one day after start-up, this 'Open with' window appears. Under "Choose the program you want to use to open this file," the indicated file was my name. (I replaced the one here with the word "Me.")

  

  I never asked this window will open after startup. It appeared for the first time without having done me anything. I do not think that I have all the files with my first name only, so I closed the window and ignored.

  But the window open whenever I start. Don't need or want to be, I keep closing and ignore him.

  Soon, not one, but two of the pop-up appeared. Then THREE.

  For several years, the three windows double as above appeared whenever I start.

  Don't know how or why it began. Don't know which program is causing it. Don't know how to stop it.

  Anyone recognize this window? Do you know which program is causing it to appear after startup? Do you know how to disable? Is there a trick to disable three of them?

  (1) is the window 'Open with' above now a default pop-up window after startup that cannot be disabled without the registry editor?

  No, the "open with" isn't a local default value.  You see it because something - probably malware - tried to configure your computer to start a process at startup time.  Windows, however, does not recognize the name of the process (i.e. the file name) as an executable program so it asks you to specify which program to use to open the file.

  No, you don't need to manually edit the registry to resolve this problem.

  (2) there is no program in Control Panel I can open that has a simple toggle to turn it on or off?

  No, there is no program in Control Panel you can use to solve this problem.

  Here's how fix you the problem.

  A. the easy way (doesn't unless you are very lucky)

  • Click the start ORB, all programs and then scroll down until you find "Startup" and click on it.
  • If you see that anything that gets filed that you do not want to start when you log on to "Start", right click and delete.
  • If you do not know what the items listed and are reluctant to delete something you don't understand not (a very good policy to follow), list all the elements in your next reply and someone here will try to advise you.

  B. the way a little harder (that almost always works)

  • Download here Autoruns.zip (this course is that you download from a Microsoft web site)--> http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
  • Right-click on the downloaded file and select "extract all".
  • Go to the folder where the extracted files are located (this should have been opened for you by default), and then double-click on autoruns.exe
  • Wait until the program has finished scanning (look at the bottom left corner) and then select the 'connection '.
  • Look in the column titled 'Image path' for a line that includes whatever it is that appeared as the 'file' in the original pop-up window.
  • If you find a line with the same name in there, uncheck the box at the left end of the line, close Autoruns and restart your computer.
    • If the ToolTip no longer displayed, you can (a) do nothing do or Autoruns (b) re - run, find the line you're not controlled and right click > delete it.
  • If you cannot find a line with the name you're looking for...
    • Click on the "all" tab
    • Click file, and then click search, then enter the name and click "next".
      1. If a line is found, right click and select 'copy '.
      2. Paste the line in your next reply here
      3. Press F3 to find the next instance and repeat steps 1 and 2 until no more bodies are found (if there are several rows, you can open a Notepad window and paste the lines temporarily here)
      4. If you are reluctant to publish anything with your name in it, change the lines to replace your name

• Windows open not shortcuts to office or all .exe files. Rather 'Open with' window appears.

  If I try and open the shortcuts in office such as Mozilla Firefox or even Microsoft Paint, the "Open with" window appears and makes me choose what program to open it with. None of my .exe files will open directly, they make me choose what program to open it with. Some of them make me reinstall the program every time. Why my .exe files are messy?

  Hello

  Just in case there are persistent pieces of malware here is the method of complete elimination.
  .exe question difficulty in the next message.

  Try Mode safe mode with networking - repeatedly, press F8 that you start.

  The best two methods allow scanners to run and/or AV.exe out of the way or removing.

  1.
  CTRL SHIFT ESC - task manager OR right click on the taskbar - task manager

  Process tab - complete the process on AV. EXE and continue with the uninstall Guide.

  If necessary use start - computer or Windows Explorer to navigate to

  C:\Program Malwarebytes Anti - Malware\mbam.exe or where it is installed - if
  necessary right click on the shortcut of Malwarebytes - Properties - tab - target line to see where it
  is installed.

  Right-click on it and rename it to ZZMbam.COM (or something different than now) and
  Double-click it, and then run it like this. You can rename it back later. Do the same with
  other programs according to the needs. Use this method to others as needed - NOT assume all
  a program deletes all or that it is no other malicious software.

  ---------------------------------------------------

  2.
  Another method is to use them:

  Use Process Explorer to "Suspend" the process will not stop

  Then use AutoRuns to delete the malicious program startup items.

  Now use UnLocker to delete the files in the malware.
