Why can't I change the action of double-tap by default for a file extension?

With Windows XP, it was possible to change the default action for a file 'type' (IE file extension, because Windows 7 has no notion of a file "type" Despite other operating systems supporting these things for the last 20 years).

Why is it not possible under Windows 7?

Because it was designed by a guy named 'Me', which obviously has not used a computer or visited planet Earth recently, if ever?

Why are all the MS support dumb people on this issue?

Because they would have to admit they lied to their customers when they said Windows 7 was better than XP?

Its opening called with, no?

No, it isn't. This isn't what he's talking about.

    I guess that you clicked on the patch of color not to mention that the word to open the color selector window.

    On the right side of this window, a vertical bar which has 2 horizontal black lines down there.

  • Why can't I change the content at different breakpoints?

    For some reason, after the establishment of breakpoints on my master, whenever I try to change the content at different points of rupture on my subsequent pages, if I click on a breakpoint I can get to this provision of breakpoint, but the cursor turns into a pen and a circle with a line through it and says 'Click here to directly access the breakpoint'.  If I click once again, I need to come back on the breakpoint (1200px) original on as I was.  Can someone tell me why I can't edit content on other breakpoints?

    You cannot change the content between breakpoints.

    If you want a breakpoint of master page to be accessible on a layout page (which is not make sense in many cases), click the small arrows, who are appearing in the breakpoint bar, which represents your breakpoints in the master page, and then click the 'create a new breakpoint' that appear :

  • Why can't I change the data in the table that is locked in SHARE mode?

    Hi gurus,

    Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0
    --
    I'm confused by the Oracle locking mechanism, here I'm talking about locking TM. We know that there are several lock TM modes:
    SS
    SX
    S
    SSX
    X
    I have several questions about these modes, for example, the third argument of ', I know S average share, and in my view, table is locked in shared mode, because the people do not want everyone encountering DDL, if this is true, why can't I just run DML against it either? In other words, why does SX and S compatible mode. And S-mode mean?
    SESS#1 SQL> lock table t_lock_4 in share mode;
    
    Table(s) locked
    
    SESS#2 SQL> update t_lock_4 set val='aa' where id=1; --this sql hangs
    Thanks in advance.

    Well - which is not true as says the quote from doc. As the doc says the of ' means "action, table lock" - share the table. If several sessions to share the table any of the sessions can be updated.

    SX and S are not compatible because the of ' is a table lock and "SX" is a line lock. If a session snaps a row then this session MAY update the line even if other sessions have locks on the other lines. Several sessions may lock the different lines and update.

    But as the doc said ' means sharing the table and you can only update it is you're the only session the ' lock.

  • Why can't I change the thickness of the stroke of my form?

    Hello!

    I drew a shape with illustrator, but I can't change the race less 1pt. When I change it to 0, 25pt or 0, 5pt, this does not work, there is 1 pt.

    Any help please?

    Dan,

    In such cases, the first assumption is aligned to the pixel grid.

    You can select the entire document and untick finally align on the pixel grid in the Transform palette and uncheck also align new objects to the pixel grid in the options of the Launcher. It is crucial that the checkbox is disabled completely, not just a - which also count as ticked.

    It may be noted that even align with the pixel grid is cleared with all the selected objects, align new objects to the pixel grid is checked as the creation of new objects will result in these new objects being aligned, even when they are created from existing objects that can happen with Pathfinder operations.

    You can avoid the types of documents with the default (RGB for the web and other) or change the default value for such documents.

  • Why can't I change the username to the server in the mail?

    Just upgraded to El Capitan and now does not work my AOL e-mail account. The problem is the user name is incorrect by the name of the incoming server, but I can't change it because it is grayed out. Someone knows why?

    I finally got to work in Yosemite, but I had to create an account with a username of @example. com The problem is caused by having to change from Verizon to AOL mail and the user name is always "[email protected]". I could get fixed and make any changes that I needed. I had to modify the plist to make changes, but apparently there was another place where El Capitan found the information and create a new account. The preferences file indicates the username for the incoming "[email protected]", as the original server the plist file doesn't seem to be the same thing now. I also made sure the box is unchecked to automatically manage settings.

    Uncheck automatically detect and manage settings in the Advanced tab of the account preferences in Mail.

  • Why can't I change the size of the taskbar

    I'll try the trial version of photoshop elements 13 and fonts of the taskbar and icons are medium to small and tiny.

    It is impossible to use this software when I don't see that I select.

    It's frustrating.

    I have a 27 "monitor which features a 2560 x 1440 screen.

    I didn't buy a monitor $ 1000 to have resolution lower, just so that I can use this software.

    Is it possible to enlarge?

    If this isn't the case, I can't buy this product.

    If your on a windows operating system, try to update using 13.1 help > updates pse 13 Editor.

    Then go to Edit > preferences > display and cursors and try the option of Large-200% beside the user interface scale factor



    Then restart photoshop elements 13 and see if it's better

  • Why can't I change the billing for my account information?

    Hi all

    About 3 weeks ago, I was delivered a new CC corporate number. I tried since then to find a way to be updated on the Web site. Whenever I try to load the billing information I get the message "there was an error on our side, please try again later." This has happened for weeks. I finally decided, if they won't fix, which I will call support.

    I reported the bug in support, no response.

    I called support and sitting waiting to update my CC. I was hung up when I should have been answered. This happened twice (I am persistent).

    I registered for a reminder. I got the recall and told me I had to go to another person. I got a transfer to hot because of this problem.

    This person told me that I had to talk to ANOTHER different team, and he would schedule a call back to me within 1 to 2 hours.

    It has been more than a week, maybe a week and a half since I was supposed to receive this reminder, and finally my ticket has been updated yesterday. they tried to reach me without success (Yes, good), what I want to do? So I left a note: call me at this number in the next 4 hours, and we can settle this. I guess that was my Pacific time support team, because they have called back 16 hours later (I am GMT, or incidentally, my company is based in the United States however). Fortunately I gave them my desk phone, because I would have been Livid (as much as I already am) if I had been awake at 03:00.
