files

Question

i accidentally set my .zp files to open with internet explorer and didnt know how to change them back so i reset them all back to original not knowing it would also change my other files (it also didnt change my .zp files back either) so now all of my url files (my games) have been set back to nothing and i cant open them. So now i cant use .zp files or url files.

Answer 1

Hi Lewis

That is okay, delete that dummy exe and restart (not shut down) the PC and check if the file association is removed for 7z files.

Answer 2

i cannot choose to open it with the dummy file it says this app cant run on your pc, to find a version for your pc check with the software publisher

Answer 3

Hi Lewis

Do you have 7Zip installed on your PC to open those files, if you do, you can open 7Zip and go int that applications settings and set the files association on 7Z files.

Otherwise, to remove the file association totally and end up with no application associated to 7z files, here are the steps.

1

Open Windows File Explorer

On the view Ribbon (tab) check the box marked 'File Name Extensions'

Close File Explorer

2

Right click your Desktop and choose New - Text File

Right click that text file and choose rename, then change the file extension on that new file from .txt to .exe

Confirm the change

3

Right click a .7z file, choose open with - Choose another App

Check the box marked 'Always use this app to open .7z files' - IMPORTANT!

Scroll to the bottom and click 'More Apps'

Again scroll to the bottom and choose 'Find another app on this PC'

Navigate to the dummy file exe on your Desktop and click OK

The .7z file will not open, this is expected

4

Delete the fake exe file on your Desktop and restart (not shut down) your PC

The file association will then be removed!

Answer 4

i meant 7z files and i just want to remove the file association to an app
