You're most welcome Hazem,

I have added 3GP and 3GPP to the list to restore Windows Media Player as the default program for them.

For WEBM, you might look at the link below to see if that player may work for it.

For FLV, you could install the Shark codecs at the link below to see them with Windows Media Player.

Hello Herkus, and welcome to Seven Forums.

No worries, you can use the tutorial below to use Open with to select the program you had the DTS file opening with previously.

I had a similar problem here when finding the Opera browser's icon on several image files and simply had to reset each one to the Windows Photo viewer. Fortunately it was for one group of files of the same type rather then seeing all throughout the main drive effected just by file type alone.

The Restore Default Associations option here is intended more or less for any wider spread situation that comes up rather then a fast quick fix done by changing a default program. For those times when you can't see something corrected quickly then you would use this option since it covers just about all file types.

Hello Sunny, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Are these only with shortcuts (LNK) and EXE file extensions?

If so, then you could download and merge these file extensions listed in this tutorial to restore their default association and hopefully fix this for you.
