Change file association program

Posted in Tips, Windows Vista - 27 December 2009 - No comment

During migration process to Windows 7 some of our staff still using Windows XP as main operating system due to hardware limitation and job concern. A problem came when simple file like .htm or .html cannot opened with browser like Firefox.

Why

Yeah, local virus make this unusual behavior happen. After quick clean all virus get clean and hidden file get restored with little problem. Associated program that used to open this kind of file not work anymore.

Case Reproduce

I’m using one the staff computer as example.

Double click in the file lead me to this screen.

“The file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in The Folder Options control panel.”

Solution

Right click on the file and choose Properties.

Click on “Change” button.

Acronis® Drive Monitor™ is a free application developed to determine the health of your hard disks.

Pick program that will handle the file by default.

I choose Firefox as program that will handle .html file.

Click OK.

As you see Firefox icon will displayed as default program. Click Apply.

Repeat the process for .htm extension and try to open the file with double click as usual.

Enjoy the day!
