Reset and Fix Windows Vista default file extention type associations

Posted on March 5th, 2009 in Microsoft, Vista by Gil Kreslavsky

Windows Vista file sort and file extensions associations may  corrupted or get  broken , some files with a couple of extensions cannot be opened properly.
For example, some third party programs or viruses may wrongly set or assign file associations for extensions that don’t have a default program such as .exe, inf, .com, .sys, .lnk, folder, directory.
You can change default program for specific file extension via folder option in control panel  or by clicking right click on a file >open with >chose desired program to open the file and mark  “Always use this initiative to open this kind of file” option.

When a file default program for opening file extension is deleted or misconstrued , the icon for the file kind becomes blank in the shape of empty paper list
And when user double clicks on the file he receives  “Open With” dialog to chose a program to open the file with.

The problem is especially worse when the file association for executable in .exe extensions is broken, causing programs such as Acrobat Reader, Outlook , Word , Internet Explore , and even Registry Editor that is necessary to fix the invalid file association problems ,cannot be started, and unable to launch or execute.

Windows Vista obvious file extension Set Association management interface cannot reset and fix the corrupted or invalid file association back to factory default, or at least coming back to a workable state. As a workaround, user can try to manually remove the user-choice file association to restore back to Windows default file type and extension association.

If the manual deletion of personalized file association performs not work, or ask for to direct yet simple fix for the file type and file extension association problem.

To fix the problem Download Winhelponline.com   vista-extentions-fix.zip registry fix file .
Unzip it and execute the files bu needed extension

The file association fixes for the following file extensions
* audiocd
* avi
* bat
* bmp
* chm
* cmd
* com
* dvr-ms
* exe
* gif
* htm
* html
* ico
* inf
* jpe
* jpeg
* jpg
* js
* lnk
* mp3
* mpe
* mpeg
* mpg
* msc
* reg
* scr
* tif
* tiff
* txt
* vbs
* wma
* wmv
* xml
* xps
* zip
* Folder
* Directory
* Drive

Note that to run registry files you need to right click it and chose “Run as Administrator” to apply the file association fix for the respective file type and extension.

Change windows vista default program association via registry

Posted on March 5th, 2009 in Microsoft, Vista by Gil Kreslavsky

Windows Vista allows users to change and set default program association for most sort of file extension via Control Panel’s “Set Associations” and “Set Default Programs” under “Default Programs” link.

default-programs assotiation

However, there is no option  to reset or restore file extension association  back to original settings as in   freshly installed Windows Vista OS.

List of programs out there under “Set Default Programs” link, such as Internet Explorer,  Outlook, Calender, Windows Mail, Windows Media Player, winamp, winzip and Windows Photo Gallery have defined their own default file extensions, types and protocols.
And, user can clearly set the program as the default program to use to open all file sorts and protocols it can open.
Even so, it may not be the default file association such a configured in Windows Vista originally.

Unless user remembers and knows the original file association and change the default program for the kind of file type accordingly using the graphical user interface (GUI) in Control Panel, else here’s another workaround to restore and reset the file association to the default Windows Vista version of file association.

  1. Click Start Menu, and when that happens type regedit in the Start Search and press ENTER.
  2. Navigate to the following registry branch: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\FileExts\[ext] Replace the [exe] with the actual file extension that you want to restore . If you unsure, coup browse through all the sub-key under FileExts.
  3. Delete the sub-key named UserChoice.
  4. Exit from Registry Editor.

Configure BlackBerry Enterprise Server to work with LDAP instead MAPI

Posted on June 18th, 2008 in BES Server, Black Berry by Gil Kreslavsky

Reasons to do do the update.

If you receive errors

  1. Unable to initialize the MAPI using profile BlackBerry Server Management! Please contact your BlackBerry administrator.
  2. Unable to initialize the RIMDatabase class
  3. Unable to save configuration settings or statistics

If you are moving mailboxes across information stores and you don’t want to reboot server or restart services.

And if you are using multiple domains

Procedure

The LDAPDomain , LDAPSearch , LDAPport , LDApssl , LDAPALPSearch registry entries are used to configure the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) for the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. These registry entries allow the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to use LDAP instead of the default Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) for specific functions.


LDAPDomain

The LDAPDomain entry configures the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to use a specific domain when performing LDAP searches.

Note: In an environment with multiple domains, the LDAPDomain key is required.

  1. Open the Registry Editor by clicking Start > Run . Type regedit and click OK .
  2. Go to the following path in the registry:
    • For BlackBerry Enterprise Server software version 4.0 and laterHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Enterprise Server\Agents
    • For BlackBerry Enterprise Server software versions 3.5 and 3.6HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Enterprise Server\Servers\
  3. Create a new String Value called LDAPDomain and change the entry in the Value data field to the Global Catalog and Port that the BlackBerry Enterprise Server will use. If the BlackBerry Enterprise Server must connect to multiple Global Catalogs for name resolution, specify all of them in this value with their fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) as follows:: : :

Example : dc01.domain.com:389
<!– /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:”Cambria Math”; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:1; mso-generic-font-family:roman; mso-font-format:other; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:0 0 0 0 0 0;} @font-face {font-family:Calibri; panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:swiss; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-1610611985 1073750139 0 0 159 0;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-unhide:no; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:”"; mso-margin-top-alt:auto; margin-right:0in; mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; margin-left:0in; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:”Calibri”,”sans-serif”; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:Arial; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} span.paracode {mso-style-name:paracode; mso-style-unhide:no;} .MsoChpDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; mso-default-props:yes; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:Arial; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} .MsoPapDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; mso-margin-top-alt:auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.0in 1.0in 1.0in; mso-header-margin:.5in; mso-footer-margin:.5in; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} –>
