Getting this error while opening a folder : 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

Hi,
While trying to open a folder on my Windows 7 Home Premium, an error comes "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." I tried searching on the net but did not get great support for the issue when it happens with folder opening.

Hi Nikunj Shah,
First, I suggest you download
Microsoft Safety Scanner or
Malicious Software Removal Tool to run a full scan.
The error messages here seems to be caused by the corrupted registries, which related with the folder association.
You may take a try to merge the following registry settings to reset the folder association, before that, remember to backup your registry settings first:

You are posting in the "icloud on my mac" forum, but your profile mentions Windows. If using a mac, you need to have iphoto or aperture installed in order to receive new photos via photo stream. If using windows, try posting in the iCloud on a PC forum. You'll get better help there.

Trying to download Itunes and am getting error messages 7 and R6034?

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

This file does not have a program associated with it...

Ok, I'm not awesome at technological troubleshooting, so if someone could help me, I would be grateful because I'm getting frustrated.
I'm trying to play a silly little game online and it's telling me I need Shockwave. I know I have it because I've played this game before (something time-wasting on addictinggames.com) and I found a file called Shockwave 11 in C:\\WINDOWS\system32\Adobe\Shockwave 11 with all sorts of things in it.
I checked my Add/Remove Programs list and it says I have Adobe Shockwave 11.5 and that it is used rarely.
Since there seems to be a glitch here that I don't understand, I went to the Download Shockwave page on this site and tried to download the latest version or whatever, if that would work. The gray progress bar moves across under the "Adobe Shockwave Player is now installing" line and then I get an error popup that says:
"This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel."
What am I supposed to do? What does this mean? What file? Huh??
I am running Internet Explorer 7 and have Windows XP.
I am a total noob and need to be spoken to like a child. Can anyone please help me?

I clicked on your link (thank you - where did you get that?) and installed the Full version, apparently successfully, though during the download there were a couple of components that were troublesome.
The error message I got during setup read: "Error opening file for writing: C:\WINDOWS\system32\Adobe\Director\SWDNLD.EXE Click Abort to stop the installation, Retry to try again, or Ignore the skip this file." Retry did not work, despite having clicked it 10s of times. I clicked Ignore, then got the same message again, but about a different file: C:\WINDOWS\system32\Adobe\Director\SwDir.dll Clicking Retry again did not help move things along, so I ignored this one too. What does this problem indicate? Do I need to do something here?
Those are the only errors encountered during setup. I declined the Google toolbar. The dialog box says Successfully Completed; I clicked Close.
So I go to try to play this game as a test and it says "Installing Shockwave Components" and then I get the same error popup telling me that this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action and that I need to create an association in the Folder Options control panel!
What does this mean and how do I do it, since it appears to be critical to getting this thing to work...?

'This file does not have a program associated with it for perfoming this action'?

'This file does not have a program associated with it for perfoming this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel". Any help? This error message has never come up before. I have tried to open the page on 3 different devices but the same error message. All help is greatly appreciated as I need to print the page out for my course I am doing. Thanks all.

You get this when doing what? Can you post a link to the page that gives you this message?

This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this ac

Hi all,
After creating an application for a WebDynpro project, when I execute the project (Deploy New Archive and Run) the application I am receiving then following error message.
"This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in folder options in control panel."
Pls can anyone provide the solution.
Regards
Ravi

Maybe the problem its on the Run part. It is supposed to open a navigator and go to the URL of the application you just deployed.
Try deploying on one step and then Running on other.
If it is the Run then open the navigator and test your App.

Powershell shortcut gives"this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action"

Hi,
We have a server where powershell gives an error. The shortcut or the context menu for start button (replaced cmd in context menu) gives an error saying "this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action".
In some events, like going to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\System Tools\Windows PowerShell.lnk and opening it results in bupkus. Nothing happens.
Browsing to C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\ and running powershell.exe directly or opening cmd.exe and typing powershell <enter> runs powershell as it should.
What gives?

Hi,
I'd probably try asking here:

This is more of an OS issue than a PowerShell issue, IMHO.

Thanks so much. This definitely worked. I'm sorry I did not think of using IE. I use Foxfire exclusively so seldom even think of IE as an alternative.
