Hi, I've been using Windows 7 x64 bit for a while now, I've been using AVG until something went wrong (can't remember, wanted me to update but couldn't) So I uninstalled that and installed Avast Antivirus on my PC.
Well, I really don't know, but for files that I'm supposed to right-click, and open-with for files that have multiple applications to open with, it isn't shown any more in my context menus!! :'( What happend to it?
Can anybody help me please?
I'm puzzled more than a puzzled geek can be.
I've checked the windows registry (despite having fact I had NO IDEA what I'm looking for);
and found nothing I could help...
Can anybody help me on this one?
A .reg file or command I have to run?
A registry key perhaps maybe I need to execute??
Someone help me please!!! I just want my context menus back to normal, is that too hard to figure out? I mean surely you nerds out there are smarter than me, can't you give me a clue?? Sure I may be only experienced, but this puzzled me completely.
What should I look for in the registry?
Do I need to add a custom registry key to re-enable something??
Did Microsoft Remove Open-with from Windows 7??? :o :-X :'(
I seriously doubt they would do such a thing like remove Open-with function from Windows like that... I mean how could they.. If not, then Alright I know now that this is probably a virus or something on my computer...
I just don't know, to be honest!! No clue whatsover... Anybody? Please?? It would be much, much help if someone could help me please... THANKS!!!!!!
:'( ;)
