Windows 8.1 file association

Hi, all!
I'm trying associate .tiff file against MODI 2007.
So, I've prepared reference .xml with associations with Dism /online
After that I've imported that xml to PC with Dism /online, dism says that operation completed correctly
Dism /online /get-defaultappassociation shows me that .tiff associated against MODI
But, nothing happens, tiff opens with photo vierwer
If I export xml from that PC it shows that .tiff associated against photo vierwer
What;s the problem? Does anybody know?

I use the same command cmd /c dism.exe /Online /Import-DefaultAppAssociations:%SCRIPTROOT%\FileAssociations-Windows81.xml
Log says that operation was sucessful. But when I try open Tif-file first time it suggest me to choose
default application. So, I see Modi in that list. This is not exactly what I want

Acrobat Pro X in Windows 7 TIFF File Association

I have installed Acrobat Professional 10 in Windows 7. I am attempting to create a file association in Windows 7 to select Acrobat to open a TIFF or TIF file with Acrobat. Windows 7 does not recognize Acrobat Pro as a program that will open these files. Even though I select the program, it just defaults back to Windows Photo Viewer. Windows 7 just doesn't seem to recognize Acrobat Pro X.

Windows 8 Smart File Association Concept

I have a feature for providing to Microsoft. See the following:
We know Windows 8 tries to integrate the desktop and the touch interfaces into one OS. However, I think Microsoft forgets to update "Windows File Association," accordingly. For example, our Windows 8 can install
these apps: Adobe Reader for desktop and Adobe Reader Touch. Unfortunately, you can set .pdf file association to only one of them in Win8.
Why not if you use the "mouse" or "keyboard" to open a .pdf file in File Explorer, Win8 invokes Adobe Reader for desktop? And why not if you use your finger to open a .pdf file in File Explorer by touching,
Win8 invokes Adobe Reader Touch?
This concept should be not difficult to be implemented, for example, Windows File Association could provide two kinds of default app setting for one file type. One kind is keyboard/mouse, and another kind is touch.
I hope Microsoft can consider this concept in its future Windows.

Windows XP PDF File associations broken

After updating to Adobe Reader XI (Windows XP 32 bit), my PDF file associations no longer worked.
When I double clicked on a pdf file, it would open using a different application (Hex Editor Neo) instead.
The file thumbnails in Windows Explorer did not show the usual Adobe PDF icon: The icon for an unknown file type was displayed.
I first tried rebooting - no difference.
When I looked at the file type associations (via Folder Options in Control Panel), PDF files no longer appeared in the list of registered file types.
When I tried to add a new entry manually, it did not appear to get saved in the registry, so it made no difference.
Clicking the 'Advanced' button under the 'File Type' tab did nothing - the usual 'Advanced' dialog box did not appear.
In the end I had to uninstall Adobe Reader XI and re-install from scratch to get theings to work properly.
Is this a known issue?

This is more informative: where in the registry does Windows store, with which program to open certain file types? - Super User. I went to HKCU\software\classes\applications and added a new key acroRD32.exe
Now in the list of file types in the default programs: associate a file type with a program, I find that I can change PDF to adobe reader.
However, I still can not click on a PDF file and have it automatically open in adobe reader. This is however a minor nuisance. More important to me is that I can not see pdf icons in windows explorer. I have numerous pdf pictures and I would like to find them easily in explorer.

Windows 7 PrProj Files Associated with CS6 and not CC

I have the CC installed on my workstation. Since, for some reason, CC doesn't include Encore, I was advised to install Premiere Pro CS6 to get Encore installed. So I did.
All is well, except now when I double-click on a *.prproj file, Windows wants to open CS6 and NOT Premiere Pro CC. Since my *.prproj files are created with CC, CS6, of course, won't open them.
I tried to change the file association for the *.prproj file type, but for some reason, Premiere Pro CC isn't an option, and when I manually browse and choose CC, Windows still reverts back to CS6 to open *.prproj files.
What's up with this? I can open my *.prproj files if I launch Premiere Pro CC and THEN open the file, but I think I should be able to just double-click on the file in Explorer.
Can I uninstall Premiere Pro CS6 and KEEP Encore? Is there another way to change file assications in Windows?

I have found a solution. I had precisely the same problem. But I want to keep both CS6 and CC, since only CS6 has a direct link to Encore. The problem occurs whenever I install an update to CS6. Right now my Premiere file extensions open with CC. But if I install an update to CS6, the file extensions will go back to opening with CS6.
And I also tried changing the file extensions the way you did and had the same result.
But I found the way to change the setting in the Windows Registry. Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Adobe.Premiere.Pro.Project. Then go to shell/open/command and change the program from CS6 to CC.
Also, if you do a search in the section of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Adobe.Premiere.(with various endings following the word "Premiere") and change all instances of CS6 to CC, then you will find that if you go to the file association page, all the files that used to be associated with Premiere Pro CS6 will now be associated with Premiere Pro CC.

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.

Windows Server 2008 R2: Different file associations when double-clicking vs. right-click - open

I have a basic .xml file on my Windows 2008 R2 desktop. I have set the file association for .xml files to Adobe FrameMaker 12. When I double-click the .xml file, it opens with FrameMaker. When I right-click -> open the .xml file, it opens with Notepad.
I need the .xml file to always open with FrameMaker, even when I use right-click -> open. How can I set this up for all users on a Windows 2008 R2 server?
Thank you!
-Nicole

Hi Nicole,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
When you double-click on a file in Windows explorer, the Windows shell looks up the extension of the file in the registry to see if the extension is registered. If the extension is not registered, Windows displays the Open With dialog box, allowing the
user to choose an application to associate with the file type. If the extension is registered, Windows calls the ShellExecute() function with a command of "open." It also passes the name of the file that was double-clicked as a command line parameter.
Associations go further than simply opening a file, though. If you right-click on a text file (.TXT) in Explorer you will see two items at the top of the context menu. The first is named Open. Choosing this menu item is the same as double-clicking the
file in Explorer. When you choose Open, NOTEPAD.EXE will be started with the selected file loaded (assuming a default Windows installation). The second menu item is called Print. Clicking this menu item will cause the file to be printed without displaying
Notepad at all.
There is some registry setting for the application association to take place, you can edit them under following path.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Test App File
(Quoted from below article)

Do I have to change file associations in Windows 7 one at a time?

I changed my ancient Paint Shop Pro for Elements 11 but the file associations are still PSP. I can change them one at a time but that will take forever! Is there a way to associate all the appropriate files in one go? I managed it many years ago in PSP and Windows XP but have no idea how; I'm hoping someone will know. Thank you.

ok.
You can add to this menu.

Problems with Folder view settings and file association in Windows 8.1

My Windows 8.1 64 bit started forgetting the view settings from a folder.So if I go in a folder and I set it to List-View for example,whenever
I close that folder and I reopen it the view is set automatically to Details view.And this applies to every folder in my computer except Desktop.It drives me crazy,especially in my pictures folders.
Also with this problem another one came.I can't set a program to open some files,so the file associations for some files is broken.For example
i can't set qTorrent to open torrent files.It just won't open them and the files apear as white documents just like I hadn't had a Torrent program installed already.I find it weird that both problems appeared together.
I previously had to reinstall windows on my machine,because of this problems.It worked normal at the begging,but today these problems appeared
again.
I tried scanning SFC
Scan with no result.
I hope I will get a fix here.
Thanks.
Update:I also just discovered that Metro apps are not working...what the heck its wrong with my windows.

Hey thanks for the reply ,but I got a fix for everything.Apparently the problem is in the registry.
So If the problem began recently, you can try this to fix it :
Press Windows Key + R to show the Run box, type RSTRUI and press enter.
Choose a recent date and time from before the problem beginning (such as the day before yesterday) and click Next.
The system will restore registry settings from that day, and restart.
If you do this however,all the programs you had installed after the restore point date will
be DELETED (same with any settings changes made before that date),so be sure to backup things.Hope this will help someone someday. .

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.

Quick Time Hijacks Windows File Associations Only From Web Browsers

It took me 6 hours this morning to conclusively prove that Quick Time (latest version) isn’t playing well with web browsers on my Windows XP Pro (SP3) machine (nothing new here I guess).
I develop web sites which get their content from local hard or DVD/CD drives (as opposed to from the internet). All my Windows file associations for audio/video file types point to Windows Media Player (WMP) so that when one of my web pages looks for a file type of say .mpg or .mp3, WMP is opened and the file is played. Pretty straight forward and has worked fine for years.
Some time in the last few months (and I now strongly suspect after a Quick Time update) my browsers (all of them….. IE, Firefox, and Chrome) started opening Quick Time instead of WMP when my HTML goes to open any media file type. I’ve checked my Windows file associations which all still point to WMP. I also note that when I open one of my media files from a file utility such as Windows Explorer or my aftermarket file utility (as opposed to from a browser), they correctly open in WMP. So…….. its only from browsers that QT hijacks my intended media player.
In Internet Explorer I’ve gone to “Manage Add-Ons” and “disabled” Quick Time. This in fact causes QT not to be opened but instead a blank web page appears containing only the browser’s little error box with a big red X in it which usually means a picture file is missing…… WMP is not launched even though it is enabled in Manage Add-Ons and QT is disabled.
The only way I’ve found to fix this problem is to uninstall Quick Time in which case everything works fine. (My objection to Quick Time as my default media player is that even the latest version doesn’t reliably play video created for Windows file types.)
Can anyone tell me how to make Quick Time co-exist on my computer without hijacking my attempts to get at WMP from browsers?
The only reason Quick Time has existed on my computer in recent years is so I have access to iTunes. I’ve uninstalled both Quick Time and iTunes till I find a solution to this problem which means iTunes isn’t selling me anything in the mean time.

I'm having the same issue that Quicktime hijacks file associations.
I recently reinstalled my copy of Windows 7 64-bit and have installed basically hardly anything on it. I have however installed iTunes (+Quicktime) for my iPhone and Winamp (and not even loaded Windows Media Player).
Basically when I uninstall Quicktime, I can just type an url in the IE8 address bar with the .mp3 extension and download and save the file there and then. Only after installing Quicktime the browser will open the .mp3 in the window and play it embedded with the Quicktime player.
This is something I do NOT want, and I am really ****** off that Quicktime just takes over this feature without asking me first!!
That being besides the point really because I also cannot find the option in Quicktime's settings to undo this!!
When I go to Quicktime's settings -> Browser -> MIME types
It just shows that .mp3 is linked to Winamp (like I want it to be), but it still opens as a Quicktime Control Object.
Reinstalling IE8, resetting its settings, disabling the iTunes & Quicktime addons, even removing the Quicktime Control Object class from the registry... Nothing worked!

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

2012 RemoteApp: file associations windows 8 only?

I am currently testing RemoteApp and it currently looks like the only way to setup file associations is to set "Specify default connection URL" under RemoteApp and Desktop Connections. This setting requires at least 2012, 8, or RT. Is there any way to
get this to work in windows 7? This is a feature we would really like to use.

Hi skeiffer_,
I will provide an example for you, in this case Adobe Reader XI as a RemoteApp with .pdf file association on Windows 7 client PC. You may use it as a general pattern for other RemoteApps.
1. On the client PC, in the user's registry, we need to add the following (contents of .reg file below):
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Adobe.Reader.XI]
"AppUserModelId"="Microsoft.Windows.RemoteDesktop"
"EditFlags"=dword:00100000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Adobe.Reader.XI\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\Users\\Public\\Documents\\RemotePackages\\AcroRd32.ico,0"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Adobe.Reader.XI\shell]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Adobe.Reader.XI\shell\open]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Adobe.Reader.XI\shell\open\command]
@="\"mstsc.exe\" /REMOTEFILE:\"%1\" \"C:\\Users\\Public\\Documents\\RemotePackages\\AcroRd32.rdp\""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.pdf]
@="Adobe.Reader.XI"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.pdf\Adobe.Reader.XI]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.pdf\Adobe.Reader.XI\ShellNew]
2. We need to make sure two files are present on the local PC:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\RemotePackages\AcroRd32.ico
C:\Users\Public\Documents\RemotePackages\AcroRd32.rdp
The above two files are downloaded to the client PC from the 2012 RDWeb feed automatically when you set up a connection in RemoteApp and Desktop Connections in the control panel. Once it has been set up you may right-click on one of the RemoteApp shortcuts
to find the path where the files are stored so that you may copy them to where you need them.
Usually the path will be something like C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Workspaces\<GUID>\Icons and \Resource, but it may be different depending on if redirected folders are in use.
You may use group policy preferences, scripting, installer exe, etc. as methods to copy the files and create the necessary registry entries on the client PCs/user profiles.
If you need to associate a second file extension with the same RemoteApp, for example .fdf for Adobe Reader XI, you could duplicate the last three registry entries and change them to the new extension (.pdf to .fdf in this case).

Hi,
this worked fine for me.

How to change Windows 7 file associations in the registry

Hi,
I have a group of computers that have Office 2010 installed and then PowerPoint Viewer 2007 was installed after that to temporarily resolve an SCCM 2007 patching issue. Needless to say, PowerPoint Viewer 2007 changed some of the PowerPoint 2010 file associations
to itself instead. I am scripting a clean-up operation to remove PowerPoint Viewer 2007 and set the file associations back to PowerPoint 2010. After doing some research, the few registry paths commonly called out do not contain the information that I am looking
to change.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts
The file associations that I need to set back to PowerPoint 2010 are as follows:
.potm, .potx, .ppsm, .ppsx, .pptm, .pptx
Does anybody know where to look for where these file associations are set in the registry?
Thanks,
Rob

This is how it is done in vbscript as well:
http://www.visualbasicscript.com/tm.aspx?high=&m=97211&mpage=1#97217
Set objShell = Wscript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.RegWrite "HKCR\.potm\", "PowerPoint.TemplateMacroEnabled.12", "REG_SZ"
objShell.RegWrite "HKCR\.potx\", "PowerPoint.Template.12", "REG_SZ"
objShell.RegWrite "HKCR\.ppsm\", "PowerPoint.SlideShowMacroEnabled.12", "REG_SZ"
objShell.RegWrite "HKCR\.ppsx\", "PowerPoint.SlideShow.12", "REG_SZ"
objShell.RegWrite "HKCR\.pptm\", "PowerPoint.ShowMacroEnabled.12", "REG_SZ"
objShell.RegWrite "HKCR\.pptx\", "PowerPoint.Show.12", "REG_SZ"
One thing to note is that the user will need to log out and log in again to reload the changes to the registry which also updates the change to the file extensions.
