Hello
Basically, you need to restore default file Associations.
When you double-click a. EXE file, the program may not start, instead, it can open in Notepad
(view the contents of .exe), or you can jump into any other application.

No one there mp3 rocket? When I download a song now all of a sudden, it will not be displayed in my Media Player, why?
Hello
1. what operating system is installed on the computer?2. are you referring to Windows Media Player?3. What is the file format of the song?When you play a file on your computer or on the Internet, the Player automatically adds the file to your library if it isn't already in your library. The reader does not automatically add a file that you play from removable storage media, a device removable storage, or on a shared network folder. For example, if you play a file that is stored on a CompactFlash card a data CD, or in a shared folder on another computer on your network, the player will not automatically add the file to your library.Method 1:
Open the troubleshooter in the Windows Media Player library
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-Windows-Media-Player-library-Troubleshooter
Method 2:Follow the steps mentioned below:Windows Media Player output.
b. Click Start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player and then click OK.
c. Select all files in the folder and then click on Delete on the file menu.Note you don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.
d. restart Windows Media Player.
If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:
a. exit Windows Media Player.
b. Click Start, click Run, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft and then click OK.
c. Select the Media Player folder, and then click on Delete on the file menu.
d. restart Windows Media Player.

It is a long story as to why I did it, I'll try to keep it as short as possible, but also detailed.
I tried to get my graphics card drivers (it is an AMD Radeon) updated on my Acer laptop because I had errors of lighting in several video games, but my Catalyst Control Center has stopped working whenever I opened it. So I googled many answers, found none, contacted the technical support for it, they re-installed my graphics drivers from the card for me through the Acer eRecovery Manager (since I bought the computer with the graphics card built in), but the problem persist and so I searched for answers, and told to set the file C:\Users hidden and then visible again and it should allow the CCC work properly. But when I went into c:\Users--> properties, there is no option to set it to Hidden. So, I thought since my info is in my c:\Users\AccountName file, I click with the right button on this folder and went to properties, and the option was there. So, I put THIS folder hidden and freaked out a little when everything on my desk apparently disappeared from existence. But in my panic, I went to C:\Users-->Properties again and he now give me the option set to hidden. So I did, and once it was done, I unchecked the box hidden again and all my files reappear, thank God.
However, this is my problem begins. All my files and folders that were inside the C:\Users\AccountName have been restored to be visible, but now, Google Chrome and Dropbox are unable to sync properly (and who knows what other sync accounts have stopped working?) and any where both move files or how many times I reinstall, they are still unable to sync. It seems that some of my files have been moved to places that they are not supposed to be? Dropbox has been moved somehow to C:\Users\AccountName\AppData\Roaming and to contact their support team, they said that it is not recommended because it is there. But even after the move to other places, he always did the same thing.
To describe the problem that happens in both:
-Google Chrome:
It gives me the orange icon at the top and says I need to sign in again. She does everytime I open the browser. Once I log in, it says that my sync data is out of date or something like that. And no matter how many times I tried to solve this problem, everytime I open the browser he reconnects with the orange icon and I have to sign in again once.
-Dropbox:
By clicking on the icon, it gives me a permissions error and says that "store your home folder on a network share can also cause this problem. And of course it has been moved somehow to AppData\Roaming without put me there. Uninstall completely and put it back in place as AppData\Roaming automatically and still will not let me move it.
So I'm not sure what is happening. I really need help with this because I use dropbox for many things, and google chrome allows me to stay connected to all the sites that I hear every day so now I will have to sign in everytime I visit which is extremely annoying. Above all, however, I am worried what other things have been affected by this problem. If you have any ideas on what is happening and how I could fix this, please let me know. Thank you.
Natalie,
Please contact the Microsoft Community.
To cancel your changes in a way simple and most effective would be to perform a restore of the system-

I just created a new 'user account '. Now all my files are considered to be "hidden".
original title: hidden files
I just created a new 'user account '. Now all my files are considered to be "hidden". "I have thousands of .psd and jpeg files). Is it possible to change this for all files in that account without having to access each?
I don't know what caused the problem, but you can go to control panel | Folder options | Display and enable the display of the hidden files and folders.

Hello dear, I need your help.
I did yesterday an update to new IOS - now all the photos from iphoto to my MacBook are suddenly also on my iphone5S - how to delete photos on my phone without deleting on the macbook?
They are very old photo from my childhood so I definitley them do not need on my phone, but on my MacBook, I want to keep them.
Thank you very much for your support.
Check the settings on your iPhone. Have you enabled iCloud photo library in the settings > iCloud > Photos on your iPhone? Or "my photo stream?
If you have iCloud library active on your and your iPhone photos sync iCloud and from there will to all your devices.
If you do not want to synchronize on your iPhone photos, clear the iCloud photo library, but do not allow to delete photos from iCloud, or they will be removed the Mac as well. With the removal of your iPhone, wait until all iCloud photo options have been disabled.

I uninstalled aurora and now all my favorites and passwords are left of firefox 4, how can I recover my bookmarks and passwords?
Sorry you have coming.
See the attached screenshot. If you selected the option to remove my Aurora (nightly minefield, Firefox) the personal data and customizations you deleted all your profiles for each version you have / had installed. You can try to use a program for recovering files, like Recuva, to see what can be salvaged.
The bookmarks to the file places.sqlite , or among the backup of bookmarks Favorites-aaaa-mm-jj.json files (10 are stored). Regarding your passwords, you need the file signons.sqlite and signons3.txt file.

I have windows 8 on my desktop, I do not use a Microsoft account to connect to it, I use a local account. If I update to windows 8.1 all my files and all my information stored? and I will be able to connect to my local account without losing any of my information, such as files and app?
Original title: I have a Local account on windows 8.
Yes, absolutely. This 8.1 update is really pretty as a Service Pack or set of updates.
The only thing I can think of that can only be an impact for you, it's to the point 8.1 of Windows, you cannot use SkyDrive (now called OneDrive) unless you use a Microsoft Account on your profile. In other words, you can not just use 'on the side '. That could be a deal breaker if you rely on OneDrive to store all your files and settings. But if you are not using OneDrive today, then it don't you impact at all.

Hi tessagourden,
ؠ What is the service pack installed on the computer?
Try the methods below:
Method 1:
Run the checker system files on the computer. Link, we can see: Description of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 System File Checker (Sfc.exe): http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310747
Note that: if he asks you the service pack CD, follow these steps from the link: you are prompted to insert a Windows XP SP2 CD when you try to run the tool on a Windows XP SP2 computer system File Checker: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/900910 (valid for Service pack 3)
Method 2:
You may need to create a new user account and check if this may help, for the steps see: how to create and configure user accounts in Windows XP: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/279783

Who can help, I just put a new account on my computer and deleted the old account. I backed up the old files on my external hard drive. I want to know is how can I load all my files and folders to my new account of my external hard drive? I thank you for your time and knowledge have a very nice evening, Shawn
Because it's a new account (even if with the same name), the restore procedure is unable to put files and folders in the same place, they came (because this place technically no longer - if yes, then the process is done and the transfer is complete). It can create a set of separate files (maybe even under a new user name, if it has been stored in this way). If so, all you need to do is copy the data as you would copy any other files and folders (not the main files of the user profile themselves but the data in them) on the new files in your user account and who will take care of the transfer. Here is more information about the restore procedure which may help you in the process.
Here is an article on the restore procedure:http://www.vista4beginners.com/How-to-restore-files to make sure you do this right. It's a selective restore of a full or selective backup (not a full restore from a full backup) - but since you did a full backup, it matches your process more closely than would a full restore.
This is a GREAT article on the backup and restore processes in Vista http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2007.09.backup.aspx , but he won't go into detail about the restoration process - considering almost as easy, of course. But it teaches you a lot about what is possible and how to do it. It also focuses primarily on the full backup process, but he did mention the full backup and restore process as well.
Here is an article on the advanced use of restoration (during normal restore does not work):http://www.mayankraichura.com/post/2009/08/06/Avdvanced-Restore-via-Windows-Vista-Backup-and-Restore-Center.aspx.
Restore files from a backup
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/restore-files-from-a-backupBack up and restore: frequently asked questions
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-and-restore-frequently-asked-questionsI also found the following (but don't know if it of true or not):
1. after the start of "backup and Restore Center."
2. I chose "Advanced Restore"
3. I was did not an administrator password... maybe because my account is an administrator account.
4 choose "files from a backup made on a different computer.
5. in the dialog box indicating "Select the location of the backup to restore", select "hard drive, CD or DVD...". »
6. under the drop-down list box, select your drive/partition and continue
7. If all the backups on your drive, it will show a list of them.
8. in my case, he showed a backup, but in the backup location, it will show "backup location is not available."
9. I was frustrated, but then I somehow just select this backup (Yes... even if he said that thebackup location is not available " ")
10. and you press "next".
11 guess what... no error!
12. a window appeared asking me if I wanted to do a full restore, or I want to select specific folders or files.
13. I selected the folders I wanted to restore and bingo... it their restored smoothly.
14. so that the next time see a mistake, try to continue with him... ;)
I don't know if this will help, but it does not provide much information about the process (when it works).
I hope this helps.
Good luck!
