  It is wrong to go all that is your problem.

  I have instructions to run the Doug Knox fix as a copy/paste of my notes, I'll never have to type it once again, which means that (at least for the EXE usual file association problem), I like to use, but we don't know what your question is.  In fact, the majority of the stuff I answer here is just a copy and paste, I have fixed some things so many times...

  Here's what I have copy and paste about afflicted EXE file associations:

  Looks like your Windows file associations have to dispose. This means that XP doesn't know what to do with files by looking at the file extension (.exe for executables)., .doc for MS documents, etc.

  If you don't have it you, something done for you - most likely malware.

• new installation of cs6 32 and 64 bit on a pc windows 8.1 file association problem 64 bit

  If I have 32-bit cs6 open, then click on a psd file, it auto open in 32-bit software which is nice. However, if I have no instance of CS6 open and click a psd to open, it will always open the cs6 64-bit software, which is annoying and I would always shoot the 32 bit.

  I also tried a file associated with the psd to the cs6 32bits exe, but when you click it it opens however the cs6 64 bit... frustrating

  any ideal?

  I think that if you use regedit and find the Photoshop.exe key you will find the default to open and edit programs are set to the 64-bit exe.  Try changing them 32-bit exe, that's what my Windows 7 registry key look like. You would replace both of them to something like:

  "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Adobe Photoshop.exe" '%1 '.

  

  You have some plugins 32 bits in a third installed, is - why you want the 32-bit version to start

• File association problems

  (I use my computer so I have limited access which is a problem keep in mind schools)

  OK, so I downloaded Winrar recently but found out that I could not open to use so I deleted (it is never installed, so I didn't have to uninstall it) but now all my .exe files fail to open in winrar which is a pain. so, I went to control panel, default programs and define the program associate/Protocol but cannot find .exe in the list, it has everything but .exe. So now I'm stumped and I have no idea what to do, I cannot system restore because I am not Admin and so I need help. How can I get the .exe programs to stop wanting to up in winrar?

  The simplest is to restore your system settings for a time before the invalid associations have been set.

  1 type the word restore in your Start menu, then choose restore system files and settings...
  2 - Click Next, choose a date before the problem happens again, and then click Next
  3. about 2 minutes later, you're all set.

• .exe/directory file association problems.

  Hello

  Earlier this week, my Vista 2010 needed a Security Update, and my family bought for good, our computer updated. We have also updated the new windows service pack for Vista.

  Our computer had a few viruses that have been deleted, and that the error has been corrected.

  But since the incident, the PC has struggled to open .exe files. If I open Mozilla Firefox, for example, it will ask me to specify the program to run it with. I can browse the OS and find the firefox.exe and open it with that, but it won't allow me to check the box "always use this option.

  In addition, some programs do not work together, like Fallout 3. It simply not open, and the programs that run across it IE: Fallout Mod Manager say they can not get the permission of the file in the directory.

  Is there a way I could help this?

  You have been scammed. Vista Security 2010 is not a legitimate program. It is a rogue security program and is called Rogue because he pretended to be one of the good guys but is really bad. You need to call your credit card company immediately, stop fees and cancel the card. And now you have to clean your computer.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-antivirus-Vista-2010

  These can work for you, and all can be good. However, in many cases the computer will also infected with other horses of Trojan and protected by a rootkit. These machines are extremely difficult to clean. If your machine is one of these cases, either the interactive assistance to one of the specialty forums listed in the link below, OR take your machine to a professional on the local computer OR backup your data and do a clean install of Windows. It's your choice. I do not recommend using BigComputerStore/GeekSquad types of places.

• . Lost exe file association: need a permanent solution

  About 5-6 months, I had a problem with a .exe file association. I could not open any programs (gadgets sidebar, Skype, msn, etc.). I searched through many solutions which work.
  I downloaded Microsoft Fix It ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950505MicrosoftFixit50194) which is supposed to fix the exe solution. In addition, before this, I used a patch of file from a website called .exe association: http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/105/1/File-association-fixes-for-Windows-Vista.html
  The use of the file association fix modified .exe registry HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT exefile (default) value given in "Application". Then, after some requests for windows support, he said to transform the value '%1' % *.

  Can I use the MicrosoftFixit, restart my computer, and then wait for maybe 5 minutes, and my programs load early upward. The fix would last maybe a few weeks and he was coming back, I would do the same thing and I fix it again. It happened maybe 4 - 5 times in the past months.
  Now, just recently, whenever I restart my computer, the .exe problem. So I would continue to use the current method, I do and after a long time (maybe 30-45 minutes - it happened more time because my computer is slowing down - for some reason), it works again (until I open my computer where he would once again). I need a PERMANENT solution to this .exe problem where I cannot open any programs. I system restored but it still has the problem after each relog in. Thank you for helping.

  Reitarate, I need a permanent solution to the .exe file association problem because the problem keeps coming back even if I fix it, after each relog in... Help, please

• Adobe CS6 file associations are all stripped

  Used much CS6 association extensions open files;

  After installing CS6 of previous extensions .prproj .ai .psd, I found broken and Windows 7 (64 bit) asked what program to open it with.

  He would not give me the option of choosing what is obvious. So, I selected control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Set Associations and select Photoshop cs6 .exe and it would not assign it.

  Even with several other files.

  Even files I did fresh photoshop CS6 (64) he used to select or provide the opportunity to open with the program, with what he did. I must first of all, open the program and select the file inside the program.

  Now Adobe Bridge CS6 shows all files with a Visual preview, but when I select the file says "windows cannot find 'C:\program file\adobe\adobe cs5 (64 bit) \photoshop.exe' make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."

  I somehow loosen the old extensions because cs5 is gone, but I can't seem to change the associations until some ghost of the residual cs5 registry still lives in my machine.

  I googled the problem and many people have this problem but no real miracle seem apparent or they are incredibly draconian as wipe the disk and reinstall windows.

  I see it already happened with some other updates on the forums that is cs4 cs5 years back.

  It's my upgrade in 6th and I gave adobe the thousands and thousands of dollars, and why is this problem not get sent when another summer to complain about years and still not a viable solution is given.

  This is a Registry fix for Win7 machines for the file association problem.

  This from TinusHDCA user:

  I installed Photoshop CS6, then found CS5 was always there. I thought, Hey, I don't have CS5, so I uninstalled CS5. then I discovered that Photoshop was no longer available in "Open with", when right clicking on an image...

  I went into the registry, HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Photoshop.exe\shell\open\command, and changed (by default) of "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit) \Photoshop.exe" '%1' to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit) \Photoshop.exe" '%1' (so changed CS5 to CS6) - and now I see "Adobe Photoshop CS6" in my list 'Open with' when right-clicking on an image...

• Problem of Windows 8 file associations

  Hi, I use Windows 8 RTM 32-bit and when I try to change any file file association it won't change and remains the unknown program. Currently I'm changing .scr file association, but it remains unknown program. I am the only account on my computer and the administrator.

  I came across the same problem and SOLVED it.

  Background:

  -Migration of Windows7 Pro- x 32 to Windows 8 Pro- x 32

  Scenario:

  -Win8 refuses to associate some extensions of audio and video files (specifically, flv, avi, mp3, mp4, m4v, mov, mpg, mpeg) with VideoLAN VLC media player while others (e.g. mkv) were involved.

  Solution:

  1. open regedit [I used > Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00]

  2. go to > HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts

  3. save the FileExts folder (right click > export)... just to be sure

  4. Remove extensions that refuse to associate your program (right click > delete)

  5. open: Panel > all items in the control panel > default programs > associate a file or Protocol with a program type

  6. for each extension you just deleted in the registry: select it > click: program of change... (gray button right) > choose your program

  7 FACT! The files are associated immediately, without required system restart.

  Good luck!

  Let me know if that solve you your problem.
