Windows cannot find program

D

Dormouse

Problem with a help file (.htm) associated with a software program. Error
message 'Windows cannot find 9.exe. This program is needed for opening
files of the htm type.' 9.exe does not exist anywhere on my machine - I've
looked!

When I go and try to associate htm & html files with Internet Explorer, the
system refuses to do it. All I get in the properties box is 'Opens with:
Unknown Application'. I can associate with Netscape & Opera but not with
Internet Explorer. All the Microsoft software, patches etc are up-to date
on my computer.

Any ideas folks?

This is an easy one !
Open Windows Explorer (to locate files on your harddisk)
Click Tools/folder options/file types
Locate and select HTM
In Details it should say "Opens with Internet Explorer"
if not click change and associate this file type with
Internet Explorer...
Repeat the above for HTML

This should cure your problem. Let me know if it worked !

Most HTM or HTML files open with iexplore. You might check your file
associations.

If you only get the problem with one program you have loaded, you might try
reloading the program and see if it fixes it. Remember to shut down any
virus protection, firewalls, internet acceleration programs while you load
programs of course.

What operating system?
Are you trying to change it in the correct place? (File Types)

Explorer-View-Folder Options-File Types

The path to Folder Options may vary according to your operating
system. It may be:
Explorer-View-Folder Options
Explorer-Tools-Folder Options
Start-Settings-Folder Options
Start-Settings-Control Panel-Folder options.

I'm afraid it is not! I have tried this before and it just doesn't want to
know! Ie it won't change. It will to Opera. It will to Netscape but not
to Internet Explorer.

JR

Yes it should.
Internet Explorer is the same for Windows 2000 and
Windows XP with the saem registry entries, at least for
file associations.
After you have performed this update, you should consider
installing ad-aware and spybot to keep your computer
clean of all the internet garbage.... also make sure you
have an up-to-date virus scanner running at all times
when on-line. You can find ad-aware and spybot on
http://download.cnet.com
Have fun and stay clean !

Thanks JR, I'll give it a whirl and report back. I have Ad-aware installed
but don't perhaps use it as frequently as I should. An up-to-date virus
scanner is running at all times though and does spot intrusions
occasionally.

JR - must admit, I'm still struggling a bit as your instructions don't seem
to work. I have the following - what do I do with it?:

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE ---------------------- Eric T. Peterson 4.8.2002,
v1.06, Updated 9/20/02
Pass in two required variables: "url", "mlc"
Other variables are optional: "pn", "cp", "cmp", "gp"

"pn" is the text name for the page (remember to use "+" not spaces)
"cp" is used to set a Commerce campaign response
"cmp" is used to set a Enterprise campaign response
"gp" is used to set an Enterprise campaign goal (usually "gp=LAST")
"fnl" is used to set an Enterprise funnel

Do not include the "http://" portion of the URL, e.g., "www.yahoo.com"
not "http://www.yahoo.com"
Pass in properly formed "mlc" variables, e.g., "/Redirect/Click+to" not
"Redirect/Click to"
Pass in properly formed "cp" variables, e.g., "Yahoo+Campaign" not "Yahoo
Campaign"

We recommend that you spawn a new window when using this script (call a
target="_blank")

Hi JR

I have now solved the problem (thanks) but your instructions need modification as follows:

Download the small file from:
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/fileassoc/html_association_fix.zip

The 'zip' bit in your original email got detached from your original email URL (at least in my version of Outlook Express) - hence I couldn't find the file here. Open the file (I used Winzip), double click on unzipped file. Message to say that the registry entry had been modified. Restart computer. Hey presto - file associations restored!

Many thanks.

The 'zip' bit in your original email got detached from your original email

The problem is that he is posting using the web interface
which chops lines after 58 characters.

However, other newsreaders exhibit the same issue and it was only
recently that OE was fixed; so you should always be on guard
for similar problems when extracting URLs from newsgroup postings.

An example of one which caught me napping was one which ended
with .htm but had an l (lowercase L) on the next line. IOW the complete
URL ended in .html and clicking on the portion of the link that OE
highlighted resulted in an HTTP 404 error.

Hi JR

I have now solved the problem (thanks) but your instructions need
modification as follows:

Download the small file from:
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/fileassoc/html_association_fix.zip

The 'zip' bit in your original email got detached from your original email
URL (at least in my version of Outlook Express) - hence I couldn't find the
file here. Open the file (I used Winzip), double click on unzipped file.
Message to say that the registry entry had been modified. Restart
computer. Hey presto - file associations restored!

Many thanks.
