Changed File Association For .lnk
Mar 13, 2010I was unable to click on a link in an email (it was a link to an email address). I went to defaults/file associations and .lnk and set it to my mail program. Now I know that it changed every link on my desktop and in my program files, etc...to go to the mail program. There is no reset to the default association. I don't know what the default association was!

Jun 19, 2009I have Virtual CD installed on my computer and it was handling .iso files and a very useful feature it had, it caused some options to appear in the context menu of the file (i.e. right clicking on the file) to be able to directly insert the .iso file into a virtual drive. But then I installed WinRAR and regretfully (!!!) I chose WinRAR to associate with .iso files ... and I lost those useful options in the context menu.

Lost File Association With Exe Files
Feb 17, 2010The aftermath of a trojan attack (Vista Guardian) has resulted in the file association of exe files being lost and hence an inability to run exe files. I am quite convinced that the trojan is now dead, but I can't figure out how to fix the damage. If I could get into the registry I could fix it, but of course regedit is an exe file so I can't run it. I've tried tricks like running it from command line or from inside a batch file but with no joy. I have also made a copy and called it regedit.com. This looked romising as Vista asked for user permission to run the program, but then nothing. It gets killed off before it starts. I am not familiar with the particular machine, nor am I very familiar with Vista and I am now at a loss as to how to proceed.

XML File Association, Set Associations Control Panel
Mar 29, 2008I have been having problems running my accounts program (QuickBooks Regular 2006.) Having visited the Intuit website, I reinstalled the software again as they advised but the problem still remains so I think it is in fact an issue with Vista instead.
It brings up a dialog box that says "c:Program FilesIntuitQuickBooks RegularComponentsSales TaxSalesTax2523.xml" as the title and "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Associations control panel." I've looked in Control Panel ---> Default Programs on Vista and XML files don't seem to be associated with any program at all.

View 5 Replies View RelatedBroken (and "locked"?) Rtf > Wordpad Association
Mar 4, 2009Vista Home Premium 64 bit
Service Pack 1
*Virus/Malware scanners up to date, nothing suspicious in tasks, no odd performance issues...
Description of Problem
After "Something ?" Happened, Windows lost the ability to Default-open
Rtf files in wordpad. This Had been the default behavior.
*At the time, OpenOffice was installed, and when this problem first occurred,
Openoffce WP “became” the default Open action.
I uninstalled Openoffice, which only resulted in “blank” icons for rtf files.
Double-clicking (shell-default verb) only results in “Windows cannot open this file…use web service, or browse to find correct application”
1) OK, web service does absolutely nothing. (Is this blocked by default firewall settings?)
2) Clicking “browse for correct app” SHOWS wordpad as the default, “suggested” app. (!!!)
The “always use this app” checkbox is checked.
Basically, this “checkbox” is apparently broken, because Windows can’t associate the file with the app. It always forgets, or does nothing.
Now, if you Right Click on the rtf file, the Bold Face Open (top, default action verb) brings up The “windows cannot open this file…etc.”. If you click the small “Open” below this, the file Opens Up In WordPad (!).
If you click “properties”, you see that “rtf” files are associated (default open) with….
“Windows Shell Common…?” (looks like a .dll icon, as I can’t see the whole name in the property dialog)….If you click “Change”, it opens up the “Browse for correct app” Window, again Showing WordPad (!!!) as default, suggested program.
Somehow, this basic shell double-click default verb action for “rtf” is broken and gets pointed to Some basic shell system .dll instead of wordpad.
*****Interestingly, using a few different “file association editor” programs, they all show that “rtf” is not a valid, assigned extention. It is listed as “orphaned”, but Cannot be associated with anything. In particular, “File Type Manager 2” shows “rtf” in the orphaned category, but if you click “change”, “rtf” isn’t of course listed in the “valid” extentions that can be associated to.
I’ve searched the registry for every “rtf” related key, and compared to other computers…everything seems the same, nothing seems broken or missing.
Would there be different settings using “Wordpad” as the registry search?
Would there be an odd, malicious malware thing that would “steal” the rtf extension and Not let Vista reassign it?
"Windows Failed To Load Because A File Is Missing Or Corrupt File: Netio.sys Status: 0xc0000221
Oct 15, 2009when i turn on my computer, an error message comes saying "Windows failed to load because a file is missing or corrupt File: Netio.sys Status: 0xc0000221" This started when i was clearing my computer of useless programs, and after i deleted Realtime player or Quicktime player, (can't remember which) an error message jumped from the taskbar saying something about Network device driver. After that every time i start the computer, the "Windows failed to load" message pops up. The first half a year, it was solved by pressing enter, to "Choose an operating system to start: Windows Vista" and then to "Windows error recovery (start windows normally, safe mode etc)" and back to "Windows failed to start", repeating it 3-20 times. Then i had a familiar "Unexpected shutdown" during a game, and now, the "Enter spamming technique" doesn't work anymore. All i can access at the moment is Windows memory diagnostic tool, and Bios setup utility. Is there any way to fix this through the setup utility or some other manner?

Apr 14, 2008I can't find a way to search for file types in Vista without entering part of a file name. For example, if I want to search my C drive for all PDF files or all photos, the search function won't work without entering text from a file name (which doesn't work, because all files of a particular type don't necessarily share letters or characteristics in their names). Has anyone else experienced this problem, or am I missing something?
View 5 Replies View RelatedFile Open & File Save Dialog Box Hangs
May 15, 2010Whenever I request a "File|Open" or "File|Save" from any application, the mini-Windows-Explorer dialog box that opens freezes and hangs the entire application. Happens with almost all applications. Not limited to just Microsoft programs. It does not matter if I like change the download folder or if I rt click always the same.
Back when it was under warranty Hp tells me to just restore to original settings. I hate to do that. But I am about to see that this might be the only fix for it. (But I am hoping not.) I think it started a long time ago when I was changing the USB ports I used for my external Hard drive and it changed drive letter. (maybe maybe not.. just seems I remember that being something that had happened when I first recall things hanging...) anyway I have all drives in the place I want them now and this issue still happens even if I dont have that external drive plugged in.
File Names Not Sorted Properly In File List
Mar 23, 2008When I open a folder with a list of files for all View Options, the files are not listed in proper ascending sequence. I indexed the files to make sure that indexing may not be the factor in the Sort By Name not working properly. After the files were indexed, clicked the Sort By Name item in the View menu item, and the files are stilled not sorted porperly. Has anyone encountered this similar problem ? I suspect this may be a bug in Windows Vista File System. The folder had 87 files in it.

Dec 22, 2009I had tried to move a file from another folder to my desktop. File move was taking forever and I had cancelled out. But it created a file on my desktop which is corrupted and the original file is corrupted (neither will open). I cannot delete this file from my desktop or other location now and it has seemed to slow down my PC.
