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:

When running setup, I get"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.

whe I try to install Firefox 4.0.1, I get a Red X message. ""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. Is there a fix?

I Did that. When I try to install, I get the same message. I have come to believe this is a windows 7 or IE 9 problem. I also have active X problems that I can not resolve. I can not open Gmail also

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.

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 watched 3 or 4 online movies and downloaded a mpvie from megaupload.com and I have picked up a virus.
Every time I attempt to run a program's .exe file the message in the title of this thread appears. I can't run a system restore because the message appears. I think every .exe command has been disabled by the virus. I can only access Internet Explorer because
I thought to create a hyperlink in word and click on it.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I'm having the same problem. It started today. I can't open any .exe file, cant open the comand prompt, cant open regedit. I can't download anything including trendmicro housecall or mircrosoft security essentials, because once downloaded i still have to
open a .exe file to get them to run, which won't work. I booted to safe mode with cmnd prompt (the only way (could get it to show up) and did the assoc .exe=exefile and the response was that it repeated the command back to me. BTW command prompted booted to
c:/something something. I knew enough to cd\ back to c:/, but do I need to go one step farther?
Similar to the original poster, I can get around the .exe problem and get IE to open and then surf by going to the control panel and clicking around help menues until one of them launches IE. This is what tipped me off that it must be a virus because only
the normal interface icons and explorer file locations are blocked, but some "backdoor" command is able to open IE. I do have Trendmicro installed already and it reported that two malicious things were successfully blocked, but I didnt see the names and it
was too late as soon as I started poking around and found that everything was disabled.
Lastly, I found on some other forums a solution that seemed to work for some people and that was going to control panel-folder options-files, but that option doesn't seem to exist on WIN7 so that was a dead end for me.
If I must, and can find the necessary discs I will reinstall windows if that will solve the problem. What repurcussions should I expect? I have a SSD that runs my OS and a few critical programs but all my data is on a separate d:/ data drive. Will all that
stuff be safe?

Why do I have a window that says adobe ID on my creative cloud desktop?

It won't let me click or type anything.

Howiemtnguide if you quit and reopen the Creative Cloud Desktop application do you experience the same behavior? What version of Mac OS are you using?

I keep getting a pop-up window that says I must upgrade to Firefox 15.0.1, but I already have done that from the Mozilla website.

I got a pop-up window from Firefox saying that I needed to upgrade (I had Firefox 14.0.1). I have a Mac desktop with operating system Lion. When I'd try to connect through the prompt on that window, it wouldn't connect. So I went to the Mozilla website and downloaded version 15.0.1.dmg. But I'm still getting the pop-up window.
Also, when I start my computer, there's always a question mark in the Firefox place on the dock and a window that prompts me to drag the firefox emblem over to another emblem. But when I do that, I get a window that says that this is an older version of Firefox than the one that's installed, do I want to replace it with the older one (which I have declined to do).

Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.
Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file and drag the Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.
You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.
If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (e.g. open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

I get a pop-up window that says "URL cannot load." What gives?

At random, well known sites, I randomly get a pop-up window that says, "The URL is invalid and cannot be loaded." Firefox does load the site but I must click out of the pop-up to proceed.
What gives? I'm running Windows 7 on a new HP laptop

'''~ I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WHEN TRYING TO WATCH NETFLIX MOVIES ONLINE SO I HAD TO SOURCE IT MYSELF BECAUSE NOONE ELSE HAD THE ANSWER, THESE ARE THE STEPS I TOOK: (MOZILLA FIREFOX 4)'''

HT1473 I have an EZ Vinyl/Tape Converter (MixMeister) to export vinyl records to iTunes. The computer downloads (records) the songs from the record, but when it is to be exported to iTunes, I get a window that says iTunes unable to export. (compatability?

I have an EZ Vinyl/Tape Converter (MixMeister) to record vinly records to my computer; which then is supposed to automatically download to my iTunes program. But it does not. It records and stores (somewhere) in the computer, but when it is supposed to be exported into iTones, I get a window that says something about incompatability and/or "close other windows in iTunes; but there are no open windows and iTunes is closed. I followed all instructions to EZ Vinyl to the T, but no export/import to iTunes. What am I doing wrong? What do I need to do? THX!

Tony, thanks so much. The message reads: "Unable to export to iTunes. Please make sure you close any active windows in iTunes. Would you like to try exporting again? [Yes] [No]"
And of course I click on Yesl, but I keep getting the same window message. I read somewhere, that MixMeister is not compatible with Apple iTunes 10 series versions. The advice said to go to control panel; Programs; click on iTunes; click on Change; click on Repair. I tried that, but I still get the same window message. Then I read that I should contact the mixmeister support website, which will be my next step. But if you can provide any direction, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks again!

I am running windows 8 and have lightroom 5.5 and i have a error that says cant read from previous cache? help

Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder that contains your catalog it's probably located in Pictures\Lightroom. In that folder you will find another folder with the extension .lrdata. You need to delete that folder and its contents, then start Lightroom again. And new previews folder will be created automatically, and you should be able to start using Lightroom normally.

HT2905 Most all of my 1700 songs have been duplicated in iTunes. I have downloaded the instructions how to delete the duplicates but it says "sort by the date you added" and i have no column that says that. I am running windows xp.

Most all of my 1700 songs have been duplicated in iTunes. I have downloaded the instructions how to delete the duplicates but it says "sort by the date you added" and i have no column that says that. I am running windows xp.

Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
