now all my files open with Solved/Closed

Question

Hello,  All my files open against my will with Picture Manager. For my accounting software, it is very disturbing... Does anyone have a solution?

Hi potdefraises, here is the solution to your problem:

What happens is that .lnk or .exe or .jpg or etc. is the extension of a shortcut. By opening it by default with an application
you can no longer use shortcuts. Here’s how to fix it.

1- Go to start and in the search bar, type Regedit. Look at the top and click on Regedit.exe. Then click on continue.

2- The registry editor will open and you will see 5 HKEY folders. Click on HKEY_CURRENT_USER

3- Then click on Software

4- Then click on Microsoft

5- Then click on Windows

6- Then click on Current Version

7 Then click on Explorer

8 Then click on FileExts

9- Then click on .lnk or the file type that corresponds to your problem.

10- Then you will see UserChoice. Delete this file.

11- Close the registry editor

12- Log off and restart the session or the computer for your icons to be restored.

For Windows XP:

Go to All Programs, ==> Accessories ==> Command Prompt ==> Type Regedit.exe ==> Enter (Return) ==> Follow the tutorial above.

Apparently you want to change the image viewer ??  you right-click on your image >> open with... >> then you choose a new software --    How it works = S-U-P-E-R site ^^

It doesn't work, I see an icon and even if I right-click, I can't open it with another program. For example, if I try to open Simple Comptable, I see the Picture Manager icon and I can't open it with anything else.

Hello,
I have the same problem but I'm on Windows 7. I'm desperate, I've been trying to find a solution for hours. Moreover, I have restored but nothing works. When I right-click for "open with," I choose a program and all my icons are the same and open with that same program.
Thank you for helping me!

I found a way to open "default programs": I go to Start, then Control Panel, then Default Programs!!!

When I want to open a file, I have to right-click and then click on Start or Open with, because my files do not open directly with a double click.

Another problem, when I click on Control Panel and then on Add/Remove Programs, I receive a message: application nonexistent!

Thank you for guiding me to resolve this issue.

Hello, I have a similar problem but it's all my applications that open against my will with Windows Media Center. Even for the internet. I can't do anything anymore. I have Windows 7, so if anyone has a solution that would be great!

Hello, I have the same problem, impossible to restore even in safe mode... everything opens with Windows Media Center, regedit, msconfig, control panel, IE7... well, everything. Can someone help me please? Additionally, this program opens unexpectedly. Thank you for any help you can provide.

For those who have Windows 7 and are experiencing issues with Windows Media Center, I managed to resolve the problem this afternoon by restoring the system to an earlier date. Even regedit did not work.

After restoring the desktop icons and running a system scan, it works.

Here is for system restore:
Start your PC, after the manufacturer’s logo press F8 and select repair Windows, select administrator user on the system and enter the password if it exists and let it proceed,
once logged in choose system restore click next check the option that indicates the appearance of hidden restore points and follow the instructions on the screen until prompted to restart.

I didn't follow the conversation, but I solved my problem by uninstalling the program that wanted to open everything, on my end Adobe Reader. =)

sascoiche · Answer

Under Windows 7, open the dialog box in the Start menu. Type "System Restore," open the System Restore program, and restore to a date prior to your problem, and there you go... This may take about 15 minutes... your computer will restart by itself... your files will not be affected.

Hello marcelrub,

For Windows 7, download this file --> seven_exe.reg and put it on the desktop.

Then, restart by tapping F8 or F5 to go to --> safe mode.

When you arrive, right-click on the file --> seven_exe.reg, click on merge, accept even if there is an error message.

Then restart the PC.

So good evening to everyone, I have a solution regarding this issue because it happened to me too. I couldn't open my applications (all .exe files). I specify that I'm on Win7. So here's what I did:
1- go to the start menu
2- type (regedit)
3- go to (key_classes_root
4- then go to (.exe)
5- then you will see two string values appear
1. default REG_SZ exefile
2. Content Type REG_SZ application/x-msdownload (that's how it should be)
because I found in (2) Content Type unidentified or something like that, I don't remember exactly
well, good continuation to everyone, I hope I have been able to help you.

You need to uninstall the program where all the icons are identical. For me, it was Adobe, and then everything went back to normal.

Problem: I installed iTunes and all the desktop icons are changing to .ink (iTunes)

I have a problem... ever since I bought my Pentax digital SLR, my files open in PEF, it's exasperating. At first, it didn't do that at all; they opened normally in JPG. And then one day it changed. I don't know, I must have touched something. But I no longer have access to my photos, which are my work tools. Please help. I start an internship next week and I have no access to any of my photos...
