random guy Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Hi everyonewhen I go to open a folder without a shortcut a message appears(this dosn't happen if the folder is on my desktop and I can still open folders if I right-click and go open) saying; This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Pleace install a program, or if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel.I have looked at the Default controlls panel and was completely stumped on what to do so any assistance ang guidance would be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MANEMAN Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Apologies to randomguy and Digerati for breaking into the thread with something that is slightly Off-Topic.The thread just reminded me of a file type editor that I have. It may just be useful to anyone reading. * Gunners File Type Editor * A very useful tool. ( Free !)As you were. - Carry on. John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bludgard Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I will,if permitted,add that Windows cannot open all file types natively.Sometimes you may run across certain file types that you will need a third party program to open.Such as .rar,.tar,PDF and a host of others.Yes I know that newer versions of Windows comes with Adobe Reader,that is a third party program.Hope this helps.One Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
