Everytime I start Skype I get this File Association screen come up and I click save, does this all too often, what gives cos I am stick and tired of clicking save everytime it starts, wasting my time with this stupid file assoication.
Thanks, PJ

I have only seen the file association screen once and it went away. If you continue to see it then it is apparent that your computer is not saving the value. This is probably due to some software on your machine blocking it or a corruption of your %appdata%/Skype folder. I suggest you start your computer in Safe Mode with Networking then start Skype, save the file association change, then restart back in normal mode to see if it sticks.

File Association Issue (Windows)

Hi,
Whenever I try to open SQL Developer on a windows machine I get the file association dialog. I click the options I want then ok, and it hangs.
This is with a user with limited rights on the pc. I have tried it also with a user with 'Power Users' privileges and it works as in I am able to use SqlDeveloper but it still shows the file association dialog each time I open the application. However as the administrator this does not happen.
I've had a look through all the config files but can't see anything really evident. Is there something I am missing, a privilege that is needed by windows users?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Mike

Are you running on Vista?
If so, I believe this issue was covered here: Vista Problems
There are a couple of things you can do.
1) Run SqlDeveloper one time as Administrator
or
2) Edit sqldeveloper.conf and add: AddVMOption -Dno.shell.integration=true

File association issue with PictureView 7.2

Unlike Apple QuickTime 7.16, QT 7.2 use 2 profiles to log per user setting info:
File1 \C:\Documents and Settings\%current user%\Application Data\Apple Computer\QuickTime\QTPlayerSession.xml
File2 \C:\Documents and Settings\%current user%\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\QuickTime\QuickTime.qtp
when a limited acccount user log on and run pictureView, he will receive a dialog box ask them to reset file associations. You can not supress the dialog box even you use QuickTime control pannel. This only happens for limited user account.I don't know it is either a bug of 7.2 or Apple intends to do like this.Same thing will happen to run Quicktime from a limited user account, but you can use QuickTime.qtp to solve the issue.
Any solution to solve the pictureview issue is appreciate.
Thanks in advance.

Simon,
I did a few things that solved my problem. However there could be a bunch of reason for you to get this error
For ex, Operating System Collector error or problem with the paging etc.
Can you elaborate your problem with the following details:
1. Your observations of the errors through the SAP Management Console
2. Your machine OS and RAM details.
3. Are you going in for a fresh installations? or did you uninstall CE before?
May be I can help if you are facing the same issues, I did.

File Association issues after Adobe Reader XI Upgrade

After an upgrade to AdobeReader XI, pdf file association fails in outlook, and some desktops.Ftype & assoc didnt fix the issue.
I have tried several things including:
1-ftype AcroExch.Document="C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" "%1"
2-Association using default programs in control panel also didnt work......it continued to show acrobat as an unknown program
3-I went here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4275863 and it looked like he had a similar problem as we did

Acrobat XI file association issue

OS: Win 7 x64
problem: i cannot set acrobat as the default program to open pdf files. i have tried "open with", or in control panel set file association, but acrobat still cannot be added in the default program list. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

You have to be sure you go into the default definition part of the Open With and be sure the default check box is selected. What other product is claiming the default and is this an issue with the other program? A repair of Acrobat might resolve the issue.

Bridge CS6 File Association Issues

Hello,
The problem I am having is this:
I am associating a new program, RAWDigger with the NEF file type. It works and it makes RAWDigger as the default. When I go back to the File Association, RAWDigger doesn't even show up in the list. To make CS6 to be the default again I simply click on it in the list and it becomes the default. But RAWDigger is not in the list and I can't select it. What should I do?
And also why does the list contain two instances of the same software when I have one instance of it installed?
Thanks for any help.
Farzad

I have now uninstalled CS5. Things have not changed.
Clarification: When I add RAWDigger as one of the applications associated with the NEF it becomes the default application that Bridge will open an NEF with upon double clicking. When I go back to the preferences and select CS6 as the default I oberve that RAWDigger is not even in the list of programs. And then when CS6 is selected as default, then RAWDigger is not in the list again.
Here are the five screen captures that explain what I am doing and what results I am getting:
This is the default in Bridge - File Type Association
This is how the default looks like in Bridge:
Adding RAWDigger to the list in Bridge:
RAWDigger is now default in Bridge:
Back to Bridge Preferences:
RAWDigger is the default but it is not among the list.
CS6 is selected to be default - no RAWDigger in the list:
Maybe it is a RAWDigger thing. I will experiment with other programs and report back.
Thanks.

New install of cs6 32 and 64 bit on a windows 8.1 64 bit pc file association issue

If I have the 32 bit cs6 open, and click on a psd file it auto opens in the 32 bit software which is nice. However if I have no instance of CS6 open and click a psd to open, it will allways open the cs6 64bit software, which is annoying and I would like to pull the 32 bit always.
I also tried to file associate the psd to the 32bit cs6 exe file, but when clicked it still opens the 64 bit cs6....frustrating
any ideal?

I think if you use regedit and search for the key Photoshop.exe that you will find the the default programs for open and edit are set to the 64 bit exe. Try changing them to the 32 bit exe, This is what my Windows 7 registry key look like. You would change both of them to something like:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\ Photoshop.exe " "%1"
Do you have some third party 32 bit plug-ins installed is that why you want the 32bit version to start

File association keeps on reverting to old settings

Hi
I have a problem with file association.
We have both Adobe Indesign CS3 and Adobe Indesign CS4 installed in one of the macs.
By default, all indesign files are opened in CS4. What I wanted to do is have all the indesign files opened in CS3 instead.
I've already tried "Get Info" on any indesign file and changed "Open with" to CS3, and click "Change all".
However, every time I tried to do that, it keeps on reverting back to CS4 immediately.
I've already tried deleting ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunceServices.plist but to no avai.
Any insights would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!

Application bundles contain an internal property list file which includes "identifiers" for an OS X system called "Launch Services", which is in turn responsible for handling the file-association process. It is possible, though I don't know this, that Adobe used the same internal identifier keys for successive CS app versions, with the result that Launch Services does not consider the different versions to be independent apps.
Again, though, I don't really know this to be the issue, and I don't have these products. Sometimes rebuilding Launch Services can clear up other file association issues, and if you want to try this there is an article about how to do it here:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10362043-263.html
I doubt this would work in this particular situation, though. If you do try it, using [OnyX|http://www.titanium.free.fr] for this is friendlier than using Terminal. Don't try either method without having a system backup, which you should have in any event.
Other ideas welcome..

Need File Association for Crystal Reports v.11

Post Author: pts123
CA Forum: General
Policy Accounting is testing a new suspense processing application that relies on Crystal Reports v.11 for report delivery. Currently this report (SUSPENSE_DETAIL_REPORT.rpt) is located in the
kcsan03\Policy\PortalDocuments\Suspense directory. It is also crawled into the portal in the following location.
Knowledge Directory : Intranet : Departments : Policy Accounting : Suspense
However, when a user clicks on the report link, (either in the portal knowledge directory or from the file itself in the
kcsan03\Policy\PortalDocuments\Suspense directory), Crystal Reports v.7 is launched rather than Crystal Reports v.11.
Is there a way to get the report to open with Crystal Reports v.11? This appears to be a file association issue and potentially involves all of the users in the SUSProc active directory group.
The new suspense processing application is currently in test and is scheduled to go live on June 15, 2007. We need to test in the final location (
kcsan03\Policy\PortalDocuments\Suspense) prior to our go live date. Any assistance in resolving this issue is much appreciated. Becky Clark previously assisted me on other tickets involving the Crystal Reports v.11 application.
Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional information.

Lost file associations (Not the old version issue) Win 7 & CS5

Something corrupted my installation of CS5 a month or so ago after it had been working correctly and I lost all the image file associations. Photoshop worked fine but only if I directly opened files from within. Also all the other image packages were missing from the file association list in the Windows 7 file associations tool, not just Photoshop. Using the Windows tool to find the programmes dot exe file and create an association also locked up at the select the right package phase.
I have fixed this now and my reason for posting is that several previously suggested fixes in both the MS Windows fora and elsewhere on these Adobe forums were either very complicated requiring direct registry editing or didn't work. It has taken me a while to find a work-around that worked, hence this post.
1) Firstly - as is stated elesewhere the obvious answer of simply reinstalling Photoshop over the existing copy doesn't work! Unfortunately it was a while before I found this out, with several time wasting retries of this as a fix attempt.
2) Not saying this is guaranteed to work in every case but I ran a 3rd party free Registry Cleaner tool, this appears to have fixed the bug in the registry allowing the Windows 7 File Associations tool to work properly again. Once that was fixed linking up each graphic type was simple.
Reason for posting is I wasted lots of time thinking the issue must have been a legacy from my earlier instal of a trial version of Master Suite or the older Photoshop 7 being replaced even though my CS5 edition had been working Ok for some time. because this is what is given as the usual cause. However I think in my case it was after loading and then deleting other graphics software, possibly Real Player, which had grabbed the associations and corruped registry settings somehow at uninstall. It appears registry cleaner restored the corruption and allowed the standard Win 7 tool to work again.
Hope this can help someone else.

First, let me say thanks to John for posting his experience here. I think that Adobe does a poor job of managing file associations, given that we do hear of a lot of folks who see them get fouled up due to doing normal things like uninstalling earlier versions.
I'd like to ask, though: Did you try using the Preferences - File Type Associations dialog in Bridge?

A comment on "registry cleaners" in general:
I am a career computer "geek", and yes, Curt's right: Registry cleaners in general are a terrible idea. There are a few that encompass some valuable functionality such as deletion of old files from TEMP folders, but that's something one can do on one's own as well.
It's simply impossible for the programmer of a piece of software to know what information can be safely deleted from YOUR file system or YOUR Windows registry, which is a database.
Nor is it necessary to "clean" a registry regularly, as some say, to keep a system working well. That's hype, propagated by the registry cleaner makers. I use a system every day that's on the same installation of Windows 7 that first went in at the end of 2009. It's stable and fast as ever. I've even done several hardware upgrades and restored the same OS setup using system image backups just to keep the same fully configured, perfectly working system.
Ever hear people claim they have to reinstall Windows every so often? One of the reasons could well be that they've used a registry cleaner.

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.

File Associations in CS 5.5 for Win7

I preordered CS 5.5 Web Premium and just installed it. I also uninstalled my previous version Adobe suite (CS4). Now none of the file associations have been made for any of the Adobe related file types. So for example, psd files are now associated with quicktime. When I try to change the file association (set it to PhotoShop) it does not allow me to do so. It acts like nothing happened. What can I do? Do I need to uninstall and reinstall?

I have exactly the same issue affecting InDesign and Illustrator. Photoshop had the same issue but it allowed you to set the default program. It seems the only way to do it is to open the program and open the document from there. This is a complete pain!

"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,
AM

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.

How do I reset the default file association for .bat files on Windows 8.1?

Windows 8.1 allows the user to change the file association for .bat files. I made the mistake of using this facility to change the default file association for .bat files to Notepad++. Now when I attempt to run a .bat file, the script for the .bat
comes up in Notepad++, instead of its being run as an executable file! All my .bat files are now useless. I tried finding a way to change this back to the original executable setting, including deleting Notepad++ from my system, but nothing
has worked.
There are discussions that I found on the Internet about this problem, and the solutions to which I was led have not worked either. Most of the solutions apply to Windows 7 or Vista, but not to Windows 8. There are a few solutions that purport to apply to Windows
8 and 8.1, but they do not work for me.
(Disconcertingly, some of the solutions presented for the problem that apply to Vista or Windows 7 and are dated as early as 2009, so this problem has apparently been around for some time, but Microsoft still keeps .bat files on the Control Panel facility that
enables the change to be made. I cannot see why, but there it remains.)
Can someone please help me change this file association back to the original setting for Windows 8.1? Remember, most if now all the links that address this issue are focused on Windows 7. I need an answer that has been tried and proven to apply to Windows 8.1.
Nothing I have tried works.

Hi,
For the issue, we can restore Default File Extension Type Associations through adding the registry entries.
1. Download the .reg file from the following link.
http://www.eightforums.com/attachments/tutorials/8025d1345781188-default-file-associations-restore-windows-8-bat.reg
Note: Microsoft provides third-party contact information to help you find technical support. This contact information may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this third-party contact information.
2. Save the .reg file to your desktop.
3. Double click on the downloaded .reg file to Merge it.
4. If prompted, click on Run, Yes (UAC), Yes, and OK to approve the merge.
5. Sign out and in, or restart the computer to apply.
6. If you are logged in as a standard user and this still does not help, then have the administrator also merge the needed .reg file for the listed file extension or protocol below while logged into their administrator account.
Hope this helps.
