Default File Type Associations - Restore

Brink

Any of the ones at this link under the windows section will work fine,

Java Downloads for All Operating Systems

I run a 64bit system, so I hope that whichever you have to download will work either way.

Thanks,
Chris.

Hi Brink,

That's done it! It's removed the association completely, now I just have to find the right java program in the java folder, but once I do that, all should (hopefully [touch wood]) be fine.

Thanks for your help!
Chris

Brink,

It did reset the association, but I did have to reinstall it. Thanks so much, Brink.

Hi Brink,

Thanks for the tutorial. Unfortunately, this method worked for me for only one of two types of files I tried it on. I had associated a default program for opening and editing ico files, and I no longer see the actual files' thumbnails in Windows Explorer. Instead, I am getting the icon associated with the program, which makes it a lot more difficult to manage and edit the files. I tried merging the reg file, but it hasn't changed anything. Is there anything else I can try?


Thanks,
Ellen

Oops, my mistake. I downloaded the wrong reg key . . . When I realized that, I tried the correct one and it did work. Thanks again.
