Do you Ever Get This Message?

Windows cannot open this file.

Basically Windows is asking you what program you want to use to open the file with. To fix it you have to set up a file association with it.

Here is how to do that:

VISTA USERS:

Go to Control Panel -> Default Programs -> Associate filetype or protocol with a program

XP USERS:

Follow these steps:
1. Save the file, that cannot be opened, to the desktop
2. Open Windows Explorer by right-clicking the Start button, and then click Explore.
3. Right-click the file (should be on the desktop).
4. Click Open With to choose the program that you want.
5. In the Programs list, click the program that you want to use. OR
Click Browse, locate and then click the program that you want to use, and then click Open.
6. Click to select the Always use the selected program to open this kind of file check box if it is not selected.
7. Click OK.
From now on, Windows XP will open all files that have this file name extension in the program that you selected. To change this, you must follow these steps again and associate a different program with this file name extension.
