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:

For how to create an association in the Default Programs control panel, we could take a look in the thread below:

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:
There is no email program associated to perform the requested action. Please install an email program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default programs control panelLouis,
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:

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

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:

Create an association in the Default Programs control panel
I have set an application (.exe) in the right click menu by REGEDIT-shell , and when I click on it this message appear : 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 , so how can I run it succeffully??Hi,
What's your meaning by REGEDIT-shell? executable application belongs to Windows application doesn't need any other default programs open it.

Mssage when opening Photo Stream on-"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" Help!!!
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.

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? -
Create an association in the folder options control panel.. pop up dialogue
Installed on a win XP OS:
Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1)
Oracle Database 10g Express Edition (Universal)
Oracle Database 10g Express Edition (Western European)
I keep getting this pop up dialogue box whenever I click go to Database Homepage.
"This program does not have a file attached with it to perform this action. Create an association in the folder options control panel."
I'm planning to learn Oracle and SQL*Plus so I'm not sure what version I need for basic usage. I only need the SQL command line and probably an application that can create database or tables easily.
Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thank you.Thank you for replying Hans,
I tried to type http://localhost:8080/apex into my browser, the result is:
Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:8080.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
The SQL command line is working, but just going to the Database Home Page would result to that pop up dialogue box. Any idea why this is happening? Thanks. -

Can't share photos. Default Programs Control Panel
I have Elements 8. I want to send photos to a friend. I added her to my mailing list and I just have to click a box to send to her. I set up a web based email for my default email. But when I click on 'Share' and go through the mailing process I get this message "There is no email program associated to perform the requested action. Please install an email program or if one is already installed create an association in the Default Programs control panel".
I can't find the Default Programs control panel and at this point am not sure what they mean by 'create an association'. I tried changing the email and got the same results.
I could really use some help.

So here is the situation, my company uses a third party scanning software, that puts documents scanned or created onto a webserver. We use a program that grants a user access to view the documents on the webserver. The user will have to log into the system
using credentials, we have Kerberos doing this. Once the user is logged onto the system they navigate to the document they want to view or edit. So the user wants to view a .pdf file, they click the document they want, and it is supposed to open in the default
program associated with file extension. ie: .doc would open Word, .xls would open Excel. When the document is loading in the default program Internet Explorer opens a blank page, this page is supposed to prompt the user if they want to open or save the document.
(I changed the registry to have the files selected to automatically open without this prompt.) The blank screen generated is still staying open, this screen is supposed to close automatically after the prompt or close automatically after the document is opened.
So when a user is looking at several documents, this floods the screen with all these blank Internet Explorer pages. This problem is only occurring for users that have Windows 7 PC's, XP users do not have this problem at all. My PC is the only one in the company
that is Windows 7 64-bit, and working properly with the IE blank page automatically closing. I'm wondering what can be done to fix this problem, is it as simple as registering some .dll files or do I need to make a registry change? Any help would greatly be
appreciated.What is the registry change exactly? Sounds like one which is supposed to avoid the prompt. I know
that there used to be such a thing, before the new prompt and I know that some users think that there should be such a thing for any program but I'm not sure if that expectation is valid or not. I think this may also be related to a concurrent change
in the OS. E.g. in XP we had File Types Options editor but starting in Vista that was removed. You might get some more clues on this tack from NirSoft's FileTypesMan utility.
The registry change that I did was to remove the open and save prompt. I will be sure to look into that. Our company
isn't worried about the user's automatically opening the files since they are all trusted. They also do not have the ability to install anything, so if they were to download a potentially harmful file they could never install it. We monitor downloads as well,
if they download files off the internet that aren't work related we remove their download capabilities.
Sounds like a scenario for using ProcMon to take two traces and compare them for their essential differences.
I talked to my boss about using this tool and he is worried about using it. I'm only an intern at my office and do not have the authority to use a program without their knowledge or consent. I will run the idea by them again and see if it's okay I use this.
I'll maybe make some presentation about how it can help us with our problem and how much time and money it will save. Because I really want to get down to the bottom of this.
Probably the most significant thing is going to be the Content-type that the files are being served by.
You could use the Developer Tools, Network Capture to check on that and ProcMon could help explain what happens after that. A related workaround to change the symptom when the Content-type is not what is expected is to disable MIME Sniffing (e.g. in
Security options, Miscellaneous section). In fact, perhaps that could explain your machine's difference with anyone else? MIME Sniffing is a default, previously known as "save according to type not extension" (or some such wording).
Okay I will be completely honest I have no idea how to use Developer Tools (F12), yes I could google it, when I tried using it on the blank pages it would never work, I also have no idea what I'm looking at. I should mention that I do not have access to
the web server. Our programming and development side only has access to our AS400, which is where the web server is located. I do have MIME Sniffing enabled and so does everyone else. I may be wrong but, I believe it is needed in order to open the file extension
in the correct default program, yes? I thought MIME Sniffing would see a .docx file and then find the appropriate program to open that .docx file in. I may be wrong but I know it's used somehow along these lines. -
Office 2013 click-to-run does not honor deselecting 'Make Outlook the default program' checkbox
We use an email client other than Microsoft Outlook (let's say Thunderbird)
Thunderbird is set as the default mail client for the machine (HKLM\Software\Clients\Mail\(default) set appropriately)
Occasionally, we launch Outlook (but absolutely do not want it as the default mail client for the machine). About 30 seconds after launching Outlook, we see that the Windows default mail client changes to Microsoft Outlook.The 'Make Outlook the default
program for E-mail, Contacts, and Calendar' checkbox in File->Options is disabled.
Further investigation with ProcMon indicates that a SYSTEM service called integrator.exe starts up about 30 seconds after we launch Outlook. This service changes the HKLM\Software\Clients\Mail\(default) registry key to be Microsoft Outlook.
We have tested with multiple non-Outlook email clients, and the behavior is always the same.
This only happens on click-to-run installs of Office 2013. Regular installs of Office 2013 do not have the problem. Older versions of Outlook do not have the problem.
What can we do to get Outlook to honor the 'Make Outlook the default program' setting?Kapaal -
Thanks for your reply. Your blog post would certainly work if this was just a user-mode app that was making the change, but that's not the case with Office 2013.
The integrator.exe process that is making the change is part of Microsoft's Click-to-Run system. It runs as a service with local system access, and thus would have full access to the key. I might be able to lock it down by creating a second system
admin account and playing games with it - but that will make it very difficult to actually change the value when I want it do be changed, and I really shouldn't have to be doing workarounds to prevent Office itself from doing this.
