Solve : help with '.exe' files? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>I tried to open a '.exe' file but the pc didn't know what to open it with, so i just chose adobe reader just to see what would happen... Now i have found that all '.exe' files try to open with adobe reader!!! Of course this does not work.... so i was wondering how to return it back so '.exe' files open.<br/>thanksyou can choose what to start with in exe???<br/>even if u did it wont affect other exe files...Hmmm... Exe's are executable files, they don't "open" with anything.<br/><br/>Unless... Are you sure you have your Folder Options set to show file extensions?<br/><br/>It could be that they are being hidden but the file is named, for example, file.exe(.mp3) < the ".mp3" being hidden? <a href="http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm"><a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/travel-1426745" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about TRAVEL">TRAVEL</a> Here</a> for a <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/fix-991779" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FIX">FIX</a> to your problem.<br/><br/>It's the 9th one on the list.

I found a temporary solution which is just to uninstall adobe reader but i cant reinstall it now to read .pdf files, do you know if the there is a vista version?Did you try it ? ?<br/>Most of those fixes posted will also work in Vista...<br/>Why would Adobe not re-install ? ?<br/><br/>If you get really frustrated there is a nice FREE little Acrobat reader <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/called-907796" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CALLED">CALLED</a> Foxit.<br/><br/><a href="https://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php">Grab it Here...</a>Quote from: patio on October 24, 2007, 09:27:47 AM<blockquote>been around the block a few times.<br/></blockquote><br/>Generally not a positive <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/phrase-249285" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PHRASE">PHRASE</a> over here in the US...</body></html> | |
