file extensions

A search for "'How to view .thm files in Explorer" shows results that date back to Windows XP which makes me not consider what advice may be given. This search did teach me one thing though and that is that .thm files are not only images files, as i thought they would be. My THMs are all image...

Because my movie cataloging program isn't compatible with .tif images, I had to convert them to an acceptable type. This resulted in multiple images for each movie. That wasn't a problem until I recently started using their cloud database service, which complains about the .tifs every time...

Hello guys A while back, I downloaded a few PDF files from my school's network that I had to use for an assignment. However, now I want to delete them. Deleting the .pdf files went just fine, easily done. However, there seems to be 2 .file files still in my downloads folder with the same names...

To explain a little better, I have file extension .sfk that I'd like to have the files hidden by default. I can manually hide each file, but that'd take forever. I'd like it to be hidden by the "Don't show hidden files, folders, or drives" option. I'm completely blanking on this whole thing so...

I had about 15 files saved as File0000.chk through File0014.chk. PLEASE CHANGE CATEGORY IF I POSTED IN THE WRONG SECTION. First I tried renaming them with the likely extensions I use most often, such as .xlsx and .docx respectively for Excel and Word. This successfully recovered over 1/2 of my...

At first an important request: Please read my problem carefully. The solution is not as easy at it seems to be at the first glance! Since WinXP I have a problem when I want to re-assign a file extension to another application (=the program which should be used when double clicking on a certain...

All Thank you for any assistance. I'm pretty familiar with Windows 7, computers in general. I have a weird issue with trying to associate file extensions to .torrent files and to .xls, .doc and other microsoft office file associations. I have recently installed Office 2007. Issue is that I...

Hi everyone, So my computer recently got the windows 7 2012 Virus, and I deleted some registry keys to remove the virus. As a result, I couldn't get the icons to show their pics, so I increased the icon cache to something like 8000mb. But now, I cannot see photos when I go into my photos. Even...

I recently was perusing some unsavory websites (I'm sure you can guess) today and all of a sudden I got these messages which I started to ignore. Then it said that my flash player could not be run, or something like that. The main thing was that something has hijacked my computer, preventing me...

Hi guys, I just registered to Windows 7 forums because I have a simple question. One week now a file called "END" with no file extension is located inside my System folder where I have my folders there. I didn't make this file at all, and I don't know how this file is there. :confused: Can I...

in general I like to always organize icons in folder windows thus: view -> arrange by type.. but when I do this in Windows 7 it does two very odd things: 1) the icons get turned into generic icons that all look the same (they're kidding, right?) 2) the extension of the files disappear (I have...

I'm not sure if this is a W-7 problem, but I do not have this problem on my other XP computers. On my W-7 computer (and my others) I use MS Works 4.5. Anyway, when I load a word processing file (extension .wps) in Works and then save it to a DIFFERENT directory, it always appends a .doc to...
