Which file are you trying to open?? You probably dont have any problem to open such files. Say for example if you need to open .doc files you need MS Word, to open pdf files you need adobe reader. Search on the internet for the type of file and download the necessary program for it.ThanksDineshPlease vote if my answer is helpful. Thanks

Yesterday I began receiving "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options Control." How do I correct the problem?Robert
