"Open With" problem

[Guest SJMP]

Running xp sp2. I have a .vbs login script that is applied when users log in

to the domain. On one XP machine at one point the vbs files was set to "open

with" notepad. And the option to "Always use the selected program to open

this kind of file". How do I reset this. Now at everylogin the vbs script is

open via notepad.

 

I just want to make it go away.

 

Thanks,

Download and apply the VBS File Association Fix (Restores default associations for VBS files) from here:

Hello,

 

Thanks for posting here, and thanks Ramesh for your sharing.

 

You can also perform the following steps to reset the file type association

manually:

 

1. On that Windows XP computer, manually create a TXT file and rename it

with a VBS suffix.

 

2. Right click the file--->Open with--->Choose Program, choose the

'Microsft ® Windows Based Script Host' with the 'Always use the selected

program to open this kind of file' option.

 

3. If 'Microsoft ® Windows Based Script Host' is not listed. Click

Browse… and type "%systemroot%\system32\wscript.exe" with the 'Always use

the selected program to open this kind of file' option.

 

Hope it helps.

 

 

Sincerely,

Miles Li
