morland Posted May 6, 2010 Posted May 6, 2010 I seem to have lost the registry associations for at least 2 files.QT files and .PNG filesThe reason I am saying this because previously QT and PNG files had some icons with them and I could open them (don't remember which software). After noticing this problem I went into Windows Explorer | Tools | Folder Options | File Types and then tried to look for QT and PNG files but there's nothing The above are the only 2 I have just noticed after getting my Laptop back from a guy who was supposed to fix some problems. I hope there aren't more missing associations.Is there a way to fix missing file associations. May a freeware which does a good job for this particular task?

Save with a .reg extension. Double click to import into registry..qt is not part of a stock Windows so you need to either install something like Quicktime that will create the association or manually create it. I suggest you just right click a .qt file, open with, pick whatever you had opening them and check always use this program. Edited May 6, 2010 by -X-
