    The year is 2020 and I started having the problem people have been having for the last five years. I've tried the sfc and dism method but didn't work and for some reason I'm not able to create a new user.

    How can I solve it?

    Windows version 2004 os build 19041.508

    ms-settingsms-settings:personalization-background "This file does not have a program associated with... :personalization-background "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action........"

    I am doing some restriction to non admin users by GPO.

    When I set the role:

    admin template> control panel >prohibit access to control panel and PC setting

    I receive the error below:

    ms-settingsms-settings:personalization-background "This file does not have a program associated with... :personalization-background

    "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control Panel."

    when i try to open display or personalize.

    How can i solve it?

    Thanks

  3. Can a file extension(.flv) be added to Default Program Associations.

    Hi Fred,



    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.



    I understand that you are facing issues associating a particular file extension with a program on Windows 10. I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you.

    To assist you better, please provide the information:

    When you say that "Default Program Associations", are you referring to the list of default applications in default programs settings?



    I want you to be informed that all the file extensions is listed in the default program settings which is displayed under
    Associate a file type or protocol with a program.



    In default program list, all the programs or application will be listed. Then we can select each program as default program for opening a particular file.

    I suggest you to refer to the below steps to make default program for a particular file extension.

    1. Type "Control Panel" without the quotes in search box and click on it.

    2. Click on Programs.

    3. Then click on Default Programs and click on Choose Default for this Programs.

    4. Select .flv file from the list.

    Also you can try other steps to associate the a particular extenstion with the program.

    1. Type "Control Panel" without the quotes in search box and click on it.

    2. Click on Programs.

    3. Then click on Associate a file type or protocol with a program
    and search for .flv extension from the list.

    4. Click on .flv and then click on Change Program.

    File Association to Programs


    Hello,
    Some programs on the pc were not installed with the installer - they are portable zip files, I unziped them into a folder, made a shortcut to the desktop and they work fine for me. They are not listed in the 'installed programs' list.
    I am trying to associate certain files to such programs, I open the "default programs" panel to set the association, but when I want to change the current program, it opens the 'look into the store', no option to browse into the windows explorer,
    to set the default program.
    Hope I made myself clear.
    Thanks for answers
