So, I've got Windows 7 Starter, and I need to associate an extension with a program. I know how to do this, but when I click on the program to add the select program box, it never shows up when I hit Ok. So I can't change open with. The Program is Pivot Stick Figure animator, and the extension is .piv. It's worked before on a previous computer.

The control panel Default Programs options only work for programs that Windows 7 admits exist (with some VERY strange omissions, like MS Office) but it is easy to work around that by using windows explorer to let you associate any program that you can browse to with any file type that is already on your system.
BUT how to you associate a new "protocol" with a program (specifically Internet Explorer). My problem is that I have one email provider that automatically changes every incoming email hyperlink from http://etc to blockedhttp://etc
With WinXP and Outlook Express there was no problem because clicking on the link would automatically open IE8 which would of course fail to open the site, but I could easily click into the address bar and delete the "blocked" from in front of http
Now I'm running Windows 7 and Windows Live Mail and I can't get the links to open anything. When I click on the link, I get an error message "There is no probram associated to perform the requested action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel."
I have tried each of the functions under Default Programs and none of them will let you enter a NEW association. I found the one that says Internet Explorer is associated with http:// and https:// but there is no way to add any new protocol. Unlike filetypes you can't work around the protocols by using explorer.

I accidentally associated the .lnk (shortcut) extension with a program. Now all my desktop icons open that program (Picassa). I tried to change it back to Unknown Program using "set associations - change programs" but it does not give the option to change it to "Unknown Association"

Dont' know where I messed it up, but I use an SD memory card in a multi-card reader. It used to pop up the open with windows, don't do anything and open with Nikon Filer Transer, Canon Zoombrowser. Since I use both ViewNX2 and the Canon Zoombrowser this was very handy to pop up when I inserted the card. I could choose which program to transfer the files with, or just open the card. Now nothing happens. associating my G: Drive with No Action, Open In Folder, Open with Nikon file transfer program or open with Canon Zoombrowser?

In my work environment, we have .swf files that when right-clicked to Open, are supposed to open in Adobe Flash Player. However my computer hasn't been completely set up. When I tried that, Windows 7 tried to open it with Winamp. Looked through my Start menu Programs and didn't see Flash Player.
Downloaded and installed from Adobe.com. However, when I now try to go into default programs and associate the .swf file type with Flash Player, that app doesn't show up as an option.

I have searched all over the Internet looking for how to associate certain extensions with certain programs using a .bat file... but no luck. I have spent about two hours experimenting. I'm able to do this from the command prompt: Code: ASSOC .cpp=C++_Source_Code FTYPE C++_Source_Code=E:Notepad2.exe %0 I created a small hi.cpp file to test this. It works perfectly. The command line is E:Notepad2.exe E:hi.cpp just like it should be.
However, doing the same thing from within a batch file yields the command line E:Notepad2.exe E:assoc.bat which opens my batch file when i double-click on hi.cpp... Is it even possible to perform this association from within a batch file? I have a LOT of different file types to register, and i don't want to spend 20 minutes every time i log on associating these extensions by hand.

After unsolvable problems with VLC player (constant crash reports) I want to move back to Windows Media Player as my standard program to play audio & video files.But whatever I click and do, I cannot find a way to (re)associate the 'VLC'-files to WMP12.If I rightclick a 'VLC'-file in a folder, I can select 'open with' and then select WMP. But only for one instance! If i want to make WMP the default opener, I get this error message: 'This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the default programs control panel' - Strange message, because this file HAS a default program already, I just want to change it!I have desperately been looking for an option Windows had in the past, where you can (in explorer, I think) get a list of ALL file extensions, then select which program to use to open a specific extension, then check the box

I often want to send an email attachment from my desktop or other directory. When I right click on the file, and click send to email recipient, i get an error telling me no email program is associated to perform this action.I don't have any stand alone email program s installed. I strictly use web based email (gmail & hotmail) as my mail programs. I do not wish to install a stand alone program such as outlook or Thunderbird. How can I associate my request to email to a recipient to automatically go to my web based email platform (gmail or hotmail) and send the mail?I cant seem to find a hack or a small program to install to tell Windows 7 to use my web based email as my program!

I had no problems with CNET but when I got this new PC every time the TechTraker says I have new updates, every time I try, it says "no registered application for this extension". This is using my normal browser Opera. When I copy and paste the address to Internet Explorer, no problem but why does it give me this problem and I would much prefer to do it on Opera.

I was trying to open a .lnk file and when I when to open it I clicked open in PDF file format. All my icons on my desktop turned into PDF files and I couldn't even open Firefox or Yahoo communicator because it was in the wrong format. I tried to follow some help and download and merge the .reg fix. I have tried different things and restarted my PC many times. All the icons look like the .reg building blocks now and I can not restore the icons like before.

I dragged a web address off and Windows created a shortcut. I was able to change the extension to .txt. The icon changed to that for a text file, and I could open the file and read it.
Since then, though, the url extension does not show up. If I select Rename and add .txt to the part of the filename showing, it evidently retains the url extension after the .txt extension because the icon doesn't change to the one for a text file, I'm not allowed to edit it, and selecting open results in it opening the web page - i.e., acting like it is still a .url file.
I have checked Tools -> View many times and the box for hiding common extensions is unchecked so that is not the problem.

For a week or so now, I've been having this issue where I can't delete this file without an extension. It was supposed to be a .RAR file but something failed and it left this. Now when I try sending it to the recycle bin it says that this is not the valid location of the file. So now I don't know where it is. I tried using FileAssassin but it couldn't be deleted.

I'm trying to delete something I recovered off the HD, and now I can't delete it. I can't rename, delete, cut, copy, anything. I've seen people say do it from CLI like abbreviating such as "del filename~1.txt" or whatever t he extension is... but even that gives the error saying its too long. how to forcefully delete a file if its name is too long?

I have a document that has acquired a .lnk extension and shows a Shortcut type file and I cannot open.I was suggested to go to Sart > Control Panel > Programs > Default Programs > Associate a file type or protrocol with a program > Set Assocations I did that and chose Word to open the document. The result was that almost all programs including IE and Systems Tool tried to open with Word.I had to run a System Restore from the Control Panel and all is fine now. However, can someone give me an idea how the document got the .lnk extension and Shortcut type? Also, is there a solution to this being that the above didn't work?I still cannot open the document and the program associated with .lnk reverted to unknown application.

Upon every boot I get a auto play popup for my ext hdd. All I see is stuff telling me to turn off all of the auto play for all devices. Either all or nothing it seems. The ext hdd isn't listed under devices in the auto play (where u can pick settings for individual devices) which I found out here : What would keep a device from appearing under "Devices" in AutoPlay?
If you have connected a volume device to your computer (for example, a USB flash drive or external hard drive), that device will not appear in the Devices section of AutoPlay. AutoPlay only lists non-volume devices (for example, some digital cameras, video cameras, and phones).
This is because these devices don't use a standard file system and AutoPlay cannot browse the contents of these devices to see what types of files they contain. So is there a clever or obvious way I'm not thinking of to disable auto play for a external hard drive that is constantly connected to the PC?

there is one problem, however, which is that the bedroom I will be moving into is part of the house extension. The biggest problem with this is that my gaming PC uses powerline adapters to connect from my BT HomeHub 3.0 router to my PC currently upstairs (in the bedroom I share with my brother) and the house electrics are all fine giving me full speeds. But when I tested the powerline adapter in the extension, I got no connection upstairs (in the new bedroom) and a very weak connection downstairs (in the annex). The annex's electrics are only really an extension of the main box although they are part of the same network but perhaps not a complete circuit... or something rather...WiFi signals do get to the annex bedroom ok although I'm not a fan of using WiFi and the signal quality received from a laptop's WiFi card is not fantastic.
-The BT HomeHub 3.0 can't be replaced with something else
-Drilling through walls is a rather unlikely to be approved by my parents
-Routing an ethernet cable through the house, although probably the best option, is also quite hard to achieve without making holes in things.
-There are no vents in either the room where the router is (attatched to master phone socket) or in the annex bedroom.
I have had a few ideas myself which range from getting an dual band high speed WiFi adapter to install into the PC to routing the cable outside, although the route I was thinking of would probably risk me breaking my neck and certain windows would have to be open all the time to fit the wire through.There are no vents in either the room where the router is (attatched to master phone socket) or in the annex bedroom.
