i am trying to run an authorizelive8.auz file for a program to authorize. its opening in notepad though. how do i run this file or get it back to the default setting which it will allow to open?
Hi zodiac3000,
Welcome to Vista Forums.
The first question is which program is the .auz file associated with. Here are some options: AUZ Extension Information - What is the AUZ Extension?. I suspect it is the one at the top from your explanation - do you have Ableton Live File installed? If not, it is some other program - but I don't know what you have installed so it's hard to assist you with that. You can't just return it to what it was - there's no "undo" option to file associations. You need to make a specific choice.
If so, or if you otherwise know the name of the program to which this file type is associated, then check out the following article: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/69758-default-programs.html. Make sure you select the program's executable file as that's the only choice that will get this to work.
Once done, auz. files should open with the program they were designed to open with and you should be back in business.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!
The program to open it is Ableton Live File. Locate the folder somewhere in Program Files and seek the executable file in that folder (it will be a file ending in .exe and will probably have a pretty icon next to it to identify it as the primary program file hopefully there won't be many .exe files or the one you need will be obvious). That's what you will use in the above procedure to fix the association.
Good luck!
