Do I have to change file associations in Windows 7 one at a time?

I changed my ancient Paint Shop Pro for Elements 11 but the file associations are still PSP. I can change them one at a time but that will take forever! Is there a way to associate all the appropriate files in one go?  I managed it many years ago in PSP and Windows XP but have no idea how; I'm hoping someone will know. Thank you.

ok.

  • "Error occurred in deployment step 'Retract Solution': The solution does not have a WSP file associated with it." occurs while deploying from Visual studio

    HI,
    I get this error "Error occurred in deployment step 'Retract Solution': The solution does not have a WSP file associated with it. " when deploying my project from visual studio 2010 to
    SharePoint 2010 site. I tried restarting IIS, but it didn't help. This application used to work fine until the server crashed during the deployment process. All the other applications on the same server works fine also. Any ideas how to fix this issue? 
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi
    AM ,
    Thank you for your posting!
    According to your error message, it says your solution does not have a WSP file associated with it. Take a look at the file system.  After you Right Click -> Deploy Solution on the VS Solution, there
    should be a .wsp file at <Solution Directory>\bin\<debug|release>.
    Also the error can be occurring when the developer try to deploy solutions over pre-existing solutions  with material changed  in the solution.  Go to your Central Administration Site and then
    Operations and then Solution Management.  Make sure that there not already a solution with the same name deployed or installed there.  If there is, remove it and try deploying again.
    And you could look in logs and find if there is a below error in ULS log (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS).
    Thank you for your understanding and support.

  • Can I mass-change file associations?

    On a Win7 I installed CS4 and CC. However, Bridge CC (although installed last) has *all* files associated with CS4. Which of course makes my life very difficult right now. Is there a way to massively change file associations in Bridge CC? I've done it many many times one-by-one in the past, and I really don't want to do it again.
    Thanks

    Yes, if you want to mess with registry.  Try this solution for CS6, but use CS4.  Will be slightly differenct as CS4 was 32 bit program.
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Applications\Photoshop.exe\shell\op en\command
    This key was set to the path for Photoshop CS6 when it should have been set to Photoshop CC.
    In other words, in my case, it was set to:
    "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" "%1"
    When I changed the CS6 to a CC, in other words, so the whole key reads:
    "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" "%1"

  • I cannot globally change file associations

    I used to have Aquamacs installed. All .tex files were associated with Aquamacs. Later, I uninstalled Aquamacs and installed Textmate. I'd like to have all .tex files associated with Textmate.
    To do this I went to a .tex file in the Finder, right clicked for More Info, went down to Open With and changed the associated app in the dropdown box from AquaMacs to Textmate. I then clicked "Change All...".
    I would now expect that all .tex files on my machine open by default with Textmate, however this is not the case. Some of the .tex files open with Textmate; others still have the old Aquamacs associated. There is no discernible pattern as to why "Change All..." worked for some files but not others. I thought maybe the Finder process needed to be restarted for the global change to take effect, but I've restarted my computer and the old associations are still there.
    What I'm doing now is going through my harddrive hunting for files to change on a file by file basis. But this is frustrating and seems like the sort of busywork
    1. Is this a bug?
    2. Is there a way to force "Change All..." to actually affect all of the files?
    3. Is there a way to remove Aquamacs from all Open With options? Since this program has been uninstalled, it seems like a bug for it to appear as an option at all.
    Thanks.

    The following Terminal commands will reset your Launch Services database, which should remove Aquamacs from the "Open With …" lists, and should then allow you to use the "Change All …" button.
    Open the Terminal (from /Applications/Utilities) and copy and paste the following into the Terminal window, one line at a time, with a return after each line:
    cd /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks
    cd LaunchServices.framework/Support
    lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
    rm -f /LibraryCaches/com.apple.LaunchServices-014*.csstore
    killall FinderThe last command will force a restart of the Finder (so you may find windows that you had "docked" re-appearing: don't worry!)
    Let us know if you still have problems.

  • File associations in Windows 8.1 for applications on a network location

    Hi,
    From Windows 7 to Windows 8 it has been done alot of changes regarding file file assocations. It seem that the main reason was security and was "patched" by having Windows read the hash for the applications instead of where the application was
    located.
    but there seem to be some major hicups and there is limited info on the web covering these issues.
    First issue: when running:  Dism /Online /Export-DefaultAppAssociations:\\Server\Share\AppAssoc.xml and then creating a GPO configuration pointing to
    thi XML file.  With this feature only common file extensions is supported and when users are changing to another computer, these settings is not possible to syncronize using roaming profiles.
    Second issue: In the appassoc.xml file applications must be either appid(metro app) or common application on local harddrive to be registered and not a .EXE
    file on a network location.
    It seems a little strange if this is the case and if there is no other options for administratos to set file associations in more flexible ways. Does anyone have some more info on
    this topic other than these link:

    https://keithga.wordpress.com/2013/11/13/file-associations-in-windows-8/

    Hi Primeid,
    You could use Group policy for file associations or you could deploy the xml file during image deployment. However as you mentioned that the file associations only applies to common application on local hard drive or metro app.

    We understand your confusion about this, but we hope you understand that using network location for file association deployment is highly insecure and it is out of our recommendation since the content in that network location could be changed without any
    notification or permissions constraint.
    Thanks for your understanding.

  • How to have multiple preference files for Mail on one computer

    I would like to have multiple preference files for Mail on one computer, one copy for each person in the organization. I want everybody to log in as the same user. Is this possible?
    Thanks,
    John Link
    Cube, 450 MHz, 640 MB   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Since the Mail.app preference file (along with all other application preference files for a user account) is stored in that user's Home folder/directory, I don't believe this is possible.

  • Whenever I launch a new Google window, Google immediately re-opens all other windows I happen to have open but minimized. I then have to either close or re-minimize each window, one at a time. What a pain!!

    Whenever I launch a new Google window, Google immediately re-opens all other windows I happen to have open but minimized. I then have to either close or re-minimize each window, one at a time. What a pain!!

    Just to address the last point: check your History menu to see whether you have the Restore Previous Session option and use that if you can. If that is grayed out or doesn't restore everything, check the Recently Closed Windows and Recently Closed Tabs lists for other pages.
    The unwanted window may be generated by an add-on. Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Any improvement?
    Here are some other things to check:
    (1) user.js file that changes Firefox startup behavior and overrides your preferences. This article describes how to track that down and delete it if you have one: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
    (2) Possible hijacked shortcut. Check the "target" of the desktop icon you use to start Firefox to see whether it lists the unwanted page. To do that:
    right-click the icon > Properties > Shortcut tab
    For 64-bit Windows 7, the Target should be no more and no less than this:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
    (3) Possible undisclosed bundle items. If you have installed any free software recently, check your Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a program for surprises. If you click the "Installed on" column head to group by date, it is easier to spot bundled junk. Remove everything suspicious or unrecognized.
    (4) Supplemental clean up scans. Our support article lists tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
    Hopefully that cures it.

  • Bridge CC does not have Nikon .NEF file association to set

    When I open preferences and go to File Association settings, the extention for Nikon Raw .NEF is not there. It's a pain having to right click the thumbnail everytime I want to open it Photoshop CC.  I do have Photoshop CS6 and it defaults to that in the context menu when I right click.  How do I change that. I am on a MAC using OS X  Mavericks.

    JPGs use lossy compression so some pixels aren’t exactly the same anymore; however, if you use the highest or close to highest quality setting in LR during Export it will be hard to tell any difference.  
    JPGs are compressed by contain 3 colors per pixel whereas raw files (NEFs in your case) usually contain only one bit per pixel and are compressed in a way that makes them smaller but doesn’t lose any image data.
    TIFs if not compressed are the width x height x 1 or 2 bytes per pixel x 3 colors-per-pixel so can be huge as you have seen.
    If you shoot JPG and edit those in LR you still cannot see the LR edits in those original JPGs, only the camera rendering.

  • Can't change file associations

    I can't seem to change the file associations for quicktime. The checkboxes are greyed out so I can't deselect them.
    I have tried un-installing and re-installing both quicktime itself and itunes but am not asked which files to associate during installation of either. I have also tried un-installing and running the windows cleanup utility but it doesn't show any quicktime entry and when I re-install the file types are still greyed out.
    Anyone got any ideas.

    This could be caused by damaged QuickTime preference files (or possibly a permissions problem on the preferences files).
    We can try rebuilding one set of your preference files to see if that helps with the greyed-out stuff.
    First, quit QuickTime if you have it open.
    Next, you'll need to make sure you are set up to view hidden files and folders in Vista (or 7).
    1. From the Start menu, click Open.
    2. In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
    3. Click the View tab.
    4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected.
    5. Click OK.
    Next, you'll remove the QuickTime preference folder (and contained file).
    6. In Computer, open Local Disk: C or whichever drive your documents are stored on.
    7. Open the Users folder.
    8. Open the folder with the name of the Windows 7 user account in which the QuickTime file types are "greyed out".
    9. Open the AppData folder.
    10. Open the Local folder.
    11. Open the Apple Computer folder.
    12. Drag the QuickTime folder out onto the Desktop.
    Now you'll rebuild the preference folder and file.
    13. Launch QuickTime. Check your file types again.
    Are they still greyed out, or can you change them now?

  • Can't change file association (Powerpoint 2011 to Powerpoint 2008)

    Hello
    On my iMac I've recently installed MS Office 2011. The old version of Office 2008 is still installed as well. I've got some problems with the new version of Powerpoint (2011). Therefore I'd like to use the old version of Powerpoint (2008) for all my Powerpoint files.
    Unfortunately it is not possible to just uninstall Powerpoint 2011 without uninstalling the whole Office suite. So my idea was: changing the file association and let opening all Powerpoint files with the older version.
    The problem is: I can change the association of a single file. But if I try to apply the changes to all files of this type, it does not work. This behaviour only exists for Office files.
    Does anybody know, why this happens?
    Any help is appreciated. Thank you,
    Marco

    Launch Services has always been a bit..."strange"
    Why not compress the MS 2011 PP (right click it to bring up finder's contextual menu and select compress) into a zip file.  Trash the uncompressed file (see below).  And then launch services hopefully won't have any choice but to select and use MS 2008 PP.
    Before you delete the original in the trash.  Double click the zip file to expand it back to another copy of 2011 PP.  Make sure that launches properly.  This is just an extra safety (paranoid) check to make sure the original zipped correctly.  Then you can also trash this second copy as well.

  • Changing file associations for Stuffit

    Soooo, I tried opening a BIN file using Stuffit Expander (well, indirectly using it by opening the file from Firefox), but because the VLC Media Player has changed the file associations so that by default it opens them, I can't open it (and for the record, the BIN file in question is the install file for AIM, direct from the AIM website...I'm downloading it as a backup for file transfers). Because Stuffit seems to be integrated within the kernel (as opposed to being a separate program), I can't go about changing the file associations the normal way. Is there a way for me to do it without uninstalling VLC?

    Stuffit Expander is a separate program. You can get it here.

  • Change file association

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how to globally change the file association of a file type.
    I work with Adobe Flash which uses actionscript (.as) files (text files). I've recently started using Eclipse which is a Java IDE and an actionscript plugin (FDT).
    For some reasons it's saving out my .as files as something different. They still work within Flash but not with Apple's quicklook...
    In the terminal I've noticed that 'file' returns 'Java program text'.
    eg.
    $ file Main.as
    Main.as: UTF-8 Unicode Java program text, with CR line terminators
    This is the same within all user accounts on my machine... however on another another Macbook it returns,
    UTF-8 Unicode English text, with CR line terminators
    Any idea how I can convert all my .as files to 'English text' so that they work with Quicklook.
    TIA

    Sorry I misunderstood your question earlier.
    I did a little research into how QuickLook works. Different file types are handled by "qlgenerator" files (which are actually packages). You can install new ones in /System/Library/QuickLook or /System/QuickLook. The default ones live in /System/Library/Frameworks/QuickLook.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Generators .
    Each qlgenerator contains an info.plist file that appears to define which file types it handles in the CFBundleDocumentTypes property. I'm not sure what format they're in, though, because they look like "com.apple.rtfd" and "com.microsoft.word.doc".
    Text.qlgenerator is the one that handles text files and others that TextEdit can view (such as rtf and doc). I bet you could make a copy of it into System/Library/QuickLook and edit its info.plist file to handle your file type(s).

  • Since the upgrade to lightroom CC I have lost my file associations and cannot restore it

    Can anyone advise how to restore my LR file associations. I had to uninstall lightroom 5 as it always opened instaed of the new version. Now I cannot associate JPG or NEF files with lightroom, it will not link to it despite selecting the executable.

    I don't have LR associated with any type of file extension. Not one file type extension has Lightroom associated with it and I have both LR 5 and 6 installed.
    All image type files are associated with Photoshop or the Windows image viewer (whatever MS calls it), not LR.
    Actually LR is not for Opening image file unless you have already imported them into the catalog. I guess if you wanted to you could associate those file types to LR so when they are double clicked the Import dialog window open so you can import them into LR. But AFAIK that isn't the norm. YMMV

  • Hi, I have assigned a time capsule as backup. It does a 29GB BU everyday and then goes incremental every hour. Is it normal to BU 29GB when I have hardly changed files.

    Hi,
    I have assigned a time capsule and a USB harddisk as backup devices.
    Usually I keep both the devices disconnected and doa backup every couple of days and usually alternate between the two.
    I see that the TM does about 29GB of backup when every I connect either of my devices and then it goes hourly incremental after that.
    I thought the TM backups were incremental after the 1st inital full backup.
    What can I do to mitigate this.
    Thanks

    It's my understanding that if the virtual machine files you use are included in what Time Machine is instructed to backup, any change to the content of the VM file is considered to be a change to entire VM file. I use VMware Fusion rather than Parallels and with Fusion, the VM file is actually a folder with a special icon and inside is a collection of component files which actually make up the VM. While only some of them may be affected by using the VM, the entire VM is backed up by Time Machine. Moreover, if the backup is taking place while the VM is in use,  TM is capturing the VM in a state of flux so the internal components may not agree (the VM is so big that there might be some minutes between the beginning and end of the backup so both ends don't agree with each other; the short version is the VM may be corrupted). I don't know if Parallels saves its VM's the same way but the time it takes to backup large files shouldn't change so the risk of corruption is still there. I'd suggest that in addition to TM, you should make periodic complete bootable backups on another drive. Apart from a safety net, that also gives you the VM backup.
    In Time Machine options you can exclude the folder the VM's are kept in. Try that and see if the size of the backup goes down.
