I use XP sp2, recently after i click on a drive, error message below apears:

"This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this

action. Create an association in the folder options control panel"

I had a worm, i remove it by Kaspersky2009 but it seems Kaspersky damaged my

registry because i found out that i have a bad problem to save documents in

MS Word.

Re: File association error after click on a drive!!

 

To associate a file with a program

Open My Computer.

Double-click a drive or folder.

Right-click a file, and then click Open With. If Open With is not

available, click Open.

Follow the instructions under the option that matches the dialog box you

see:

Open With--Recommended Programs list

Under Programs, click the program in which you want the file to open, or

click Browse to locate the program you want.

-or-

Click the look for the appropriate program on the Web link to search the

Web for a program to open your file.

Open With--No Recommended Programs list

Under Programs, click the program in which you want the file to open, or

click Browse to locate the program you want. You can also type a comment

that provides information about the file type. This information will

appear in the folder window under Details when you view the file in a

folder.

-or-

Click the look for the appropriate program on the Web link to search the

Web for a program to open your file.

Cannot open this file

Windows cannot find a program to open the file. In the Cannot open this

file dialog box, do one of the following:

Click Use the Web service to find the appropriate program. This enables

you to search the Web for the program that will open the file.

-or-

Click Select the program from a list to choose a program to open the

file in the Open With dialog box.

Notes

To open My Computer, click Start, and then click My Computer.

For some file types, you will right-click a file, point to Open With,

and then click Choose Program.

To ensure that Windows always uses the same program to open the file, or

any other file with the same file name extension, in the Open With

dialog box, select the Always use this program to open these files check

box.

By any chance did you install the lastest updates this month?

If yes that may be the source of your ills.

Try the "Directory" and "Folder" fixes too. It won't hurt a thing, and

could fix your problem.
