file type not registered

Brian Perry Feb 4, 2016 1:32 PM

Hello all,

Some files in EPDM are not showing anything in the "file type" column, and I'm not able to sort files this way. When I go to that file extension in the administration tool, it says the file type is not registered. Please see attached screen shots. I've done a repair install a couple of times; it doesn't seem to change anything. I can't seem to find the issue on anyone else's computers, just on mine. Any ideas on how to fix this?

thanks,

Brian

Hi Brian, for Solidworks files you can try the "Restore File Associations" options, found in SolidWorks under Tools, Options, System Options, File Explorer.

You could also read through the attached PDF for alternative solutions.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Prasad Bhonsule
