    Default program for .bin files


    Hi,

    I got an annoying problem. I accidently happened to make all my .bin files open with notepad. Ive tried to restore the default assocication of the .bin files through the default choice in control panel and also through regedit but without any success. Could someone help me to restore the default state for .bin files.
    Would be very grateful if someone could help me to fix this issue.

    Regards
    Arif

    :)

    Can't empty the recycle bin

    When I try to empy the recycle bin, right click on the recycle bin and choose empty, I get the following Explorer.exe error: "This file does not have a program associated with it for this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed,
    create an association in the Default Program contol." Any ideas as how to fix this. I can right click on the recycle bin and open it and delete the programs individually but not all at once. Please help. Thank You.

    When I right-click on the Recycle Bin icon on the Desktop, it shows a message that there is no Default Program associated with it. It usually just opens to File Explorer in Win 10

    Default program for .bin files

    That could be tougher than it sounds.

    Bin files just mean binary files, and are not necessarily associated with any specific program.

    In any case, you would not normally click in a bin file anyway.

    Is it specific bin files causing you an issue and what?

    You could try doing a system restore (if you have turned that on) and have any restore points before you made the error.
