    Good evening,

    To restore file associations:
    Download this utility --> RstAssociations (Version .scr)
    and place it on the desktop.

    Run it as an administrator
    Click on all and restore.

    Restart the PC.

      Hello
      How do you download RstAssociations?
      I tried, but I don't understand anything.

    Hello, on the icon on my desktop, I right-click, then I open the file location, then I click open and after that I have a multitude of programs to choose from but I don't know which one to select.

      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 the 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 continue.

      2- The registry editor will open, 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 that 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 (Press Enter) ==> Follow the tutorial above.

    Hello, I have the same but different problem, it's annoying I can open all programs with ONE single program, even if I change the default program I select Photoshop to open Photoshop and then select iTunes to open iTunes, but only one default program can be activated, here is the image of my desktop you will understand.
