Association de fichiers /file association

[Cidtheo]

Bonjour à tous,



je rencontre, sur le PC d'une amie, un problème persistant concernant

l'association de fichiers sous Vista dont je n'arrive pas à venir à

bout.



Tous ses documents .doc s'ouvrent avec Wordpad et non Winword ... J'ai

tenté de réassocier par le panneau de configuration, en passant par la

création d'un fichier null.exe vide, par le clic-droit "ouvrir avec"

...



Rien n'y change, je peux changer le programme (maintenant le .doc

"s'ouvrent" avec null.exe) mais IM-PO-SSI-BLE d'associer WINWORD ...



J'ai également désintallé/réinstallé MSOffice 2003, puis 2007. Toujours

rien !



Pour info les .docm, .docx et autres s'ouvrent impeccablement avec

Winword.



L'un de vous aurait-il une solution à me proposer ???



Merci d'avance



Cidtheo

You might need to set something in the registry, but I don't know how

or what to do. Especially in another language :-(



Meanwhile, it should be possible to open Word, and go into the File

menu, click on Open file, and navigate to the correct folder choose the

desired file from there. It is less convenient, but it is not very

difficult.



I did not try to use the French words for the above, because I don't

know which words are used in Windows in French.



File = fichier

Open = ouvrir

Menu = menu

Click = clic

Folder = ? Je n'sais pas...

(peut être)

I didn't know you knew him.



He doesn't have to speak English, he only has to be able to read it.

That's why I wrote so clearly (just kidding).



Anyway, the guy in the room down the hall from him can translate what I

wrote.

Mr. Cidtheor,



Parlez-vous Anglais?



Please copy/paste your question to:

microsoft.public.fr.windows.vista.general Group., instead of here.



You accidentally posted it to an ENGLISH speaking group so most folks here

can't read it. I can read some b/c was born in Europe and know multiple

languages L)



Bon Apettite!

Gene,



That person doesn't speak Englush, he accidentally posted here but what he

meant is the same Newsgroup except with '"FR" in its name - there's a group

right next to this one, but it speaks French. That's where he wanted to

post, but accidentlaly did here.

Hi guys,



thank you for your replies : actually, my reading skills in English are

good enough to understand you !



I tried to convert the files into .docx through the path Gene gave :

but I knew it work(ed ?) (in the assocation files menu ony the .doc has

a bad association).



My problem is my friend possess a looooootttttt of .doc files .... you

know what I mean ^^ !



What is the issues I can encounter if I delete the specific

HKEY_CLASS_ROOT... in the Registry ??? I could try this if the only

problem is to reinstall MS Office.



Looking forward to hear from you



Regards,



Matthieu (a.k.a. cidtheo)



P.S. : btw Gene, "Folder" translation is "Répertoire" and the rest was

right !

BTW.

See if this key is present and pointing to Wordpad.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.doc\UserChoice

If it is, delete the key and retry setting the file association via the ' Open With ' dialog box.
