No Email Association Created for Default Program in Windows 8.1 for Office 2013

Dear Sir or Madame:
I am unable to send an email in Microsoft Office 2013 in Windows 8.1. The message I am receiving states the I have no email to perform the requested action. Therefore, I cannot send an email from Office 2013 or any other application that allows this function,
for example, from my scanner. How do I create an association in the Default Program on Control Program for emails to be sent from Word, Scanner, or any other application, which offers an email feature? Help me!

Hi,
I'm a bit confused with your description, did you mean that the option "send to mail" doesn't work any more?

I just installed Window 7 professional in place of Windows 7 Ultimate RC to which I subscribed. I was not pleased to do a clean install as opposed to an upgrade and was not informed about it.
When I reinstalled Office 2007, my outlook does not work, although exchange on the web works. I get the following error message:

Louis,
This issue may occur if the Outlook registry key is corrupted. When other programs try to use the Outlook Simple MAPI interface, they cannot retrieve the required information from the registry.
You must first remove the corrupted Outlook registry key, and then perform a Detect and Repair operation to have Outlook rebuild the key. To do this, follow these steps:
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type regedit, and then press ENTER.
In Registry Editor, locate the following subkey in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Clients\Mail\Microsoft Outlook
Select the subkey, and then press DELETE.
Click Yes.
Quit Registry Editor.
Start Outlook.
On the Help menu, click Office Diagnostics.
Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the repair.
Important: Above section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

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.

Problem creating an association in the Default Programs control panel

I have AOL mail. I have typed a letter in WordPad that I want to send in an e-mail. I am receiving this message....There is no e-mail program associated to perform the requested action. Please install an e-mail program or, if one is
already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel....I have a very basic knowledge of computers, so please consider this when answering my question....I do not have any idea what to do.

Hi,
So we are not using office outlook to send e-mail here?
Regarding AOL mail issue, we'd better ask them here:

Default programs list windows 7

Firefox does not appear in the list of default programs in Windows 7 so I cannot select it to be my default browser.
How do I add Firefox to the list so that I may select it?

Thanks, but I'm no further on I'm afraid.
I c annot see "Tools" within my Firefox. W7 does not show a "Tools" option in the dropdown.
The suggestion in the link assumes that Firefox is already in the default list. That's my problem; it is not in the list.

Sound works for all programs in Windows 7 (64-bit) except iTunes (64-bit) which stopped working after months of working fine.

Sound works fine for all programs on Windows 7 (64-bit) except recently 64-bit iTunes just stopped working. I believe the sound stopped right after downloading the 10.5.1.42 version of iTunes.

Sir,
I had the same problem with itunes 10.5 with creative labs sound card. The only way I could solve it was to use the built in sound on my video card. But needless to say I have a very high end video card, I have the NVIDIA GTX 580. And after I used the sound on my video card everything worked great.

How do you set up captivate 7 as a default program in windows 7

having trouble opening .cptx files with Captivate 7. Need to know how to get Captivate to be reconized as the default programs for .cptx files.

Hi,
ideally, you should be able to do this on Windows 7 from
1. Start > Control Panel > Default Programs > Associate a File Type or protocol with Program.
2. Then scroll and select .CPTX and click Change Program an click Browse.
3. Navigate to Adobe Captivate folder at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 7\
4. Select "AdobeCaptivate.exe" and click open.
5. Now click Ok and check if you see AdobeCaptivate.exe under "Current Default" column on the Set Associations window.
In case it still does not works, can you please confirm at which of the above steps are you facing an issue.

Acrobat does not appear in my programs list in the control panel so I cannot make it my default program in Windows 8.1

Picking Premiere Pro CC as the Default Program in Windows 8.1

I have both Premiere Pro CS6 and CC on my computer and have to have it that way for access to older projects. I can't get Windows to default to the newer CC version. Using the "Open With" and drilling down to the newer version does not change the default program. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

Depends on how you open the program ... I've got Win7 Ultimate, and have separate "shortcut" icons saved to the desktop. Click on which one I want, and that's what opens ... but if you're going through and selecting project files to open, that wouldn't work.
Now, there is a setting at least up through 7 for going through file types, and choosing a default program to use with that file type. In mine, it's in Control Panel -> Programs -> Default Programs -> "Make a file type always open in a specific program".

Windows 8.1 - Microsoft Office 2013 Program Issues

After 8.1 Windows and Malicious software updates installed, I cannot open my MS Office 2013 programs without the Error with shortcut coming up and "The item Outlook.exe that the shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so the shortcut will no longer
work properly. Do you want to delete it?" Also when just clicking on a file, a window comes up to ask how do I want to open this file (see below). I didn't do anything. The PC just did updates upon shut down last night.
System restore didn't fix issue either. Please help.

It sounds as though the executable (.exe) files are configured to open with notepad. Unfortunately you cannot manage .exe association with a launched application from the Default Programs Control Panel applet. You will need to reset the configuration of
the .exe association within the registry. The default configuration is:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe]
@="exefile"
"Content Type"="application/x-msdownload"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe\PersistentHandler]
@="{098f2470-bae0-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}"
I have exported these keys to a .reg file which you can download and merge on your system to replace the corrupted keys,
the link is here.
Disclaimer: As editing the registry can produce an unstable system or even prevent the system from booting, it is only recommended for advanced users comfortable with the ramifications. It is recommended to
back up any keys that might be edited and to have a
recovery environment available.
