    Windows 10 Error Message: This program does not have a program associated with it for...


    Good Afternoon


    I have tried to solve the following problem on and off for a week or so. The problem is: I am unable to open PowerPoint attachments in AOL when using either Firefox or GoogleChrome. The error message I get is a follows:


    "This file does not appear to 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 apps setting page."


    I have, or at least I think I have, reviewed the default apps settings and found PowerPoint to be the default app. I googled the above error message and got recommendations to check for IsShortcut File in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile and it is present.

    Thank you for taking the time to read and share your thoughts.


    Al
