Hello, My problem is that Windows XP SP2 started to ask me with which
application it has to open programs, like when it doesn't have an
application assigned to a document type. I have used the System Restore but
the problem still persists, I thought it could be Zone Alarm or Ad Aware,
because once Ad Aware alerted me that the information in the registry about
the extentions was modified and if i wanted to eliminate it, but I didn't so
everything was fine and Zone Alarm stopped the Windows Explorer program from
accessing Internet. Both programs were working fine.I thnk it may be a
virus, but With two antivirus I haven't found anything.


Thank you.

Maybe you do not have the application that the file needs???

If you open explorer and click tools/folder options/file types
you can add file types /extensions and the program to open them...providing
you have the program
