  1. Request to choose how to open application


    Hi, My question is....when I try to open a new application I get a box that will ask me how I would like to open the file. It is asking me to choose a program/application to open it with. I don't know how to choose the correct program to open certain files with. Is there a way for windows to find and use the appropriate application to open my programs with. I hope I have expressed myself correctly and haven't confused you to much. Thank you
    Pat

    HELP!! - Toshiba driver update for Toshiba Hotkey Driver - Error 0x800f0203

    I'm now running Windows 10 upgraded from Windows 7 & I have the same continuous problem with the update

    • Toshiba driver update for Toshiba Hotkey Driver - Error 0x800f0203

    I tried your Method 1 to fix it which said changes have been made to my computer & to try & update again which failed.. again & the same message above came up again. My laptop is secure as I run Norton 360, so what should I do next to try & fix this problem?
    My laptop is a Toshiba satellite L650.

    Thank you

    How to make application request for Internet connection in Nokia Belle

    @simeon_neo

    Welcome to the forum. As far as I can tell application-specific settings are no longer supported in Belle. What you've done is in my opinion the most fail-safe way of blocking application connections.

    Alternatively (or in addition) you could go through each app and widget and configure their individual Internet access. This way you could have apps attempt connections according to your preferences, and you still have the blanket mobile data off control for
    when you don't want to allow access.

    Request to choose how to open application

    When you click on a programs (application) shortcut that is New, or old for that matter, it should not ask you how to open it, it should open the Program.
    If you have a file that was created with a program you would choose that program to open the file. Every file has an Extension (ie) [filename].doc, [filename[.txt, [filename],jpg etc If you right click the file and choose Properties, it will tell you what the extension is. If it is not obvious, like the previous examples, you can type in Google, how to open .TFT file or whatever extension. It should list the programs that open that file. If you have that program installed, it should open that file or you can browse to the program in list and choose it. Or you can download the program if you don't have it.
