I recently changed the Default application for .jar files to be windows explorer, thinking that it would unzip them. I have since gotten a jar decompiler and would like to make windows explorer not the default application to open jar files ( as it basically crashes my computer). Nothing works, i have tried changing the default application by clicking open with, but the check box is greyed out. I have tried going Start menu -> Default Programs -> Associate a file type, but .jar doesn't even appear in the list. I have been googling for a couple hours now and can not find any response that isn't basically those two steps.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this mess i made ?
Right click on a .jar, go to "Open With" > "Choose default program..." should do the trick. But you already did that, and "Choose default program..." was grayed out.
Edit:
Try FileTypesMan from Nirsoft
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/file_types_manager.html
Go to .jar and select it, then you can see actions at the bottom and remove or edit them.
I Was able to fix it by messing around in the registry.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts.jar\UserChoice
needed to be deleted. that let me choose a new default program for.jar files. Thank you for the responses.
Cheers.

I'm currently trying to add a contextual menu (right click menu) on a specific extension : .config
I managed to add a contextual menu to all files, unknown files, .jpg, and every other extension I've tried, except for .config, and I don't know why.
I even tried to use some external tools to do it. These tools worked for everything I tried, except .config again.
The .config register key has a master file type named config_auto_file.
I tried to create a \shell\My_command\command key on each of them (HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.config and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\config_auto_file) with no success. I'm now out of ideas.
An easy, similar test would be .jpg, which has a master file type too (jpegfile). And it works on this one while doing the exact same thing.
I'm on windows 7 and windows 10.
Thanks for your time on this.
I managed to do it thanks to another post on stackoverflow.
The "AppliesTo" on HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT* worked for me.
I am working with the deployment feature to easily upload files to a server. So opening a specific project folder for which I have already set up deployment gives me the opportunity to work with the project files instantly and also upload them without any problems.
The problem is with opening the right folder. When setting up deployment for a project you choose a folder as the 'root' folder for this one project and when one wants to load this settings he has to choose the right folder when opening a project. Sometimes there are some differences which folder is chosen as root (most of the time the folder is 'domain', but sometimes it's another folder).
When I now want open a project folder to work with the files and have the deployment ready, I can not recognize in the popped up window which folder is the right one. Friends of mine (win8/Linux) tell me that they have a phpStorm icon instead of the standard folder icon.
On the other hand I told OSX to show me the hidden files on my system which results in following:
As you can see Finder shows me the .idea file, so at least I know the folder I am at right now is the project folder. But I in the future I don't want to check first in Finder, which folder the right one is and then open phpStorm to open it there.
I hope anybody understands my problem :). Thanks for any tips, really annoying topic.
Update:
Maybe the problem comes with the fact that phpStorm on OSX uses Finder as the explorer when trying to open a project folder. The explorer on Windows looks similar
I posted on the jetbrains helpforum, the 'answer' was:
Relates to: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-100279
Duplicates: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-131303
Nothing anybody could have find out themselves, there does not seem to be a better answer than "give the folders related to PHPStorm the right icon, manually".
I am using VS 2010 and recently I moved some files around and changed paths etc.
The solution still compiles correctly and all files are able to be loaded/compiled without error however just about every time I go to compile after a change it gives me the save as dialog and asks me to save one of the projects, if I try to give it a new name or something the dialog does not exist nothing I do can make it exit apart from pressing cancel.
If I do a build straight after cancelling it works fine and I'm not presented with the save as dialog. I have verified that the project file is not read only.
Any ideas as to whats going on here.
The solution is stored in TFS 2008
You need to do 2 things
1- remove the read-only tick from the project folder
2- when a save-as window prompts at build, just overwrite the project
next time you build, the window won't pop up
You need to run VS as administrator. (right click on VS Icon- Run as administrator)
I solved the issue. When I try to save as this time it gives the error that file is being used by another process. Google Sync prevents to save so it opens save as dialog.
You should put your project under a folder not sync while working.
Are the bindings in TFS set up correctly with the new location? TFS will mark files as read only unless they get checked in. It might have been marked as such before you moved everything around, and now, isn't being checked out properly.
Also, try closing sync. files tools like google backup and sync.
We have a 2008 solution that has a file system website as part of the solution. This solution is under source control with Team Foundation Server. Every time the solution is closed it either checks out a file called vwd.webinfo or attempts to and complains that someone else already has it checked out.
Removing the file from source control does not fix the issue because it gets re-added automatically for some reason.
Why does this happen and is there something we can do about it to remove this nag?
Thanks a lot!
open "source control explorer"
find vwd.webinfo in the correct path
click "delete"
chek-in the operation to solve this problem
The file will still be in your file system and solution, but not under source-control. You won't see "plus" or "v" or "lock" button
Go to Property Pages, select Build on the left, and uncheck "Build Web site as part of solution" Then you can delete the file and it won't get created automatically.
You should be able to delete this file manually and have it not reappear. This file holds some information that used to be located elsewhere in the project in earlier versions but apparently is not necessary. Close your solution before deleting the file from source control and on the disk.
I use Visual Studio to do a lot of my coding. I find the open containing folder feature quite helpful. But I don't want the folder to be "opened" by the windows explorer, instead I want to "explore" the folder -- you know, get the nice little frame showing me all the other folders on the left hand side. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thank you,
Rohit
When invoking ShellExecute(), use the explore verb instead of the open verb: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762153%28VS.85%29.aspx.
Edit: If you don't mean programmatically, open Windows Explorer, go to Tools -> Folder Options, select the File Types tab, locate the Folder entry in the list (not File Folder!), click Advanced, and set "explore" as default instead of "open".
There really isn't much difference anymore between 'explore' and 'open' if you're talking about a folder. They both open the same window, just with different options active. When you 'open' the folder, you're only one click away (on my system at least) from seeing the folder tree as well- just click the "Folders" button in the toolbar.
