Windows to use a specific application to open a file with a MCD.
Original title: "open with" application "Choose default program" Cancel
I accidentally changed the icon and the program using the "open with" application "choose default program" to the word instead of VectorWorks. The central database file can still be opened by the program. However, I can't find the program or its icon on the 'recommended' or 'Other' menu programs even if the program is located in my folder "Program Files". How to cancel the global setting or that the program "open with" to recognize the program?

Hello
I'm on Dreamweaver CC and when I go to open a file it tried to use my CS5, CS5.5 CS6 and finally the versions of Dreamweaver CS4 to open the file (.cfm). I uninstalled ALL the files and now, when in Dreamweaver CC I go to file: it opens automatically open Apple numbers, tries to open the file.
Anyone know how to open a file with Dreamweaver and get Dreamweaver to open it actually?
Thanks in advance,

Windows Vista won't allow me to open my files in its own window
I can't get Windows Vista change to allow me to open my files in their own windows. I was not able to do this since I bought this computer a few months ago. I thought I did something wrong, but I follow the directions to the T and it continues to open only the folders in the same window. Y at - it something I'm doing wrong? I follow the directions for help and check open in its own window and yet it acts as if I do not change it... I apply and ok and press to apply to all the files and still nothing.
I don't know what are the instructions you followed, so here is a series of instructions on opening the windows, including how open each instance in its separate window: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/91587-open-folder-same-separate-new-window.html. Read full article and follow ALL these instructions (there are parts you include in your post that are important to make it work - but then again you probably do not understand everything).
In the meantime, to open a specific folder in a new window, you can right click on the file and click on open rather than explore. This will open the folder in a new window. It's an extra step, but it is a workaround until you find the answer (if the above did not answer it).
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

How to open a file with the extension .odg using Vista?
How to open a file with the extension .odg using Vista?
Hi Defiant503,
Thank you for visiting the forums of answers.microsoft.com.
I did some research and a file ending with .odg is an OpenDocument Document OpenOffice/StarOffice (Ver 2) of graphics by Sun Microsystems, Inc. This means that in order to open this file, you will need this program to open it. You will not be able to open this file with Vista.
I hope this information helps.

I had windows 7 and it has been updated to windows 10. After the update, I opened a PDF with adobe reader. The sign economy is idle. When I click on save slot, it is said that he can save a blank document. Earlier, I have not a problem to save a pdf document with adobe reader on my hard drive. I found no updates available for my adobe reader software. Is adobe still to make the drive compatible with windows 10?

Bernd, these rights are not necessary to the reader XI. Unless the file has been secured, then it should be savable.
I recommend that upgrade you to the latest version of the XI player that is available and if this does not work, try to run a repair installation (or upgrade to DC).
