| File Associations Are All Messed Up? SUMMARY: TweakUI can replace Windows 98 file associations with their default software.
Due to system failures, hard drive problems, or crazy software installers, your file associations on your Windows 98 system may be incorrect. If you've given up trying to change all the associations through Explorer, this last-ditch effort may help. This tip will return all of the file associations to the default settings, so be very careful when performing this trick!
1. Access the TweakUI Control Panel applet (if you do not have it installed, read the tip elsewhere in MalekTips).
2. On the multi-tabbed dialog box that appears, click on the "Repair" tab (you may need to click on the arrows next to the tabs to cycle through the tabbed windows).
3. Click on the pulldown arrow and choose "Repair Associations."
4. Now, click "Repair Now."
5. Click "OK" to close the dialog box.
