rezasaheban Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 I have a file on my computer for remote access that needs to be opened by Microsoft phonebook, but my Windows XP pro opens it with Adobe Pixel Bender. How can I get Windows to open this file rather than Adobe Pixel ?! I tried to browse my program folder or Windows folder maybe to find the right program but I don't know the location. Which Windows program opens this file and where is it located?!Thank you all.P.S.pbk file extension is opened by the following programs: 1.ARC archive 2.HP-95 Phone Book 3.Microsoft phonebook 4.Adobe Pixel Bender kernel file 5.ElectraSoft Fax phone book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Re. - Where is Microsoft remote access phonebook located?it is in - %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk folder. The Application Data folder is a hidden folder. To view the folder, follow these steps:-Open the All Users folder, and then click Folder Options on the Tools menu. Click View, click Show hidden files and folders, and then click OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rezasaheban Posted November 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Thanks for the answer but in this folder there are only FILES; rasphone.pbk and sharedaccess.ini and no PROGRAMS. How can I open my pbk file with Microsoft phonebook? (it is already opened by Adobe Pixel Bender which is the wrong program for my file) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Right-click on it, select 'Open with', then select the application you want to open it with. Check 'always open with this program', OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rezasaheban Posted December 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Of course I know this. The problem is I can't find Microsoft remote access phonebook application anywhere on my Windows. Where is this application located? the ones Boris said were only files, they couldn't open pbk.

Boris Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 AFAIK it is not an actual application, but a service.See :- http://support.microsoft.com/kb/284269 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rezasaheban Posted December 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Yes, but still the question remains. How can I get Windows (Microsoft phonebook or any similar application or service) to open this pbk file rather than Adobe Pixel ?right now all pbk files on my computer ate opened by Adobe Pixel.
