| | Thanks, but that's the version I'm using. It allows for a portable install. I guess I'll fix it by reinstalling windows. |

| | File extension isn't listed The file extension I want to set default association for isn't listed, and checking the registry I see it is not there either. How can I add a new entry for the extension to the registry? The program in question is MetaTrader4, the extensions are .mq4 and .mqh among others. (Have tried reinstalling with UAC turned off and with Admin privileges but it hasn't helped, also tried using compatibility wizard on the installer but again didn't help) |

| | Hello Whitebloodcell, According to that program's FAQ's page, MQ4 and EX4 are the only file extensions supported. MQH is not listed as being supported. You might see if you can set the file extensions to be associated with MetaTrader EXE file by right clicking on the file and using Open With. Hope this helps, Shawn |

| | Well the FAQ is mistaken in the case, have been using MetaTrader for a long time and the .mqh (header files for adding library code) have always been associated before under different operating systems, even under the same operating system when different brokers are used. (Each broker distributes their own copy of MT4, for some reason some broker's distributions associate correctly). Using 'open with' doesn't seem to do anything in regards to the association. |

| | I thought that may not have looked correct. I'm not familiar with the program's settings, but you might check to see if it may have one to set itself as the "default program" or to be able to select the file extensions. If it doesn't, then the program may only support opening the files from within the program itself instead. |

| | file ext Brink, There are a number of file extensions listed in the default program setting that show as "unknown." Some of these seem like they ought to have a program, like an excel library ought to be associated with excel. Is unknown a legitimate association? And is there is quick way to correct or reset to default all such ones? Thanks. |

| | Hello Fwin7fork, and welcome to Seven Forums. File extensions that are listed with "unknown application" could just be a data file for a program or Windows 7 and is not actually opened by anything. If you look at the "Description" it will help give you an idea of what the file is for. Googling the file extension will also give you more detailed information about the file extension and if it normally uses a default program to open it or not. Hope this helps, Shawn |
