Regedit literally is a configuration tool.
If you can't remove filtetype associations without going into the registry than your literally to stupid to use windows, which is sad. Go back to typing in your sudo pass everytime you right click in Linux
>>52045875
I can do it, I just don't understand why there isn't an option to do it in the little window that pops up when you right click on a file and select "change default program"
Just one little button to remove filetype associations and I wouldn't have to fuck around in the registry every time I have this problem
>>52045916
How is it a problem.
>>52045729
Linux also leaves behind remnants of directories and files spread all over. Just recently I purged firefox and had to manually locate the remaining folders and discard them.

Wrong. It only leaves a single directory.

I can't believe I am biting this weak bait.
There was an advanced file association manager up through Windows XP. Then microsoft decided it was too confusing I guess and they removed it so now you have to use the registry.
I'm still bitter as fuck about it.

I remember that shit is hidden somewhere in 7 and 8.1. Actually I find nice the new way to associate the default programs to files. Its similar to what some DE in UNIX/Linux does.

Its not, it's gone
>Actually I find nice the new way to associate the default programs to files. Its similar to what some DE in UNIX/Linux does.
No it's bullshit because you can only have ONE association per extension. For example you can't right click on a script and edit it if the default program is set to execute it.
>>52046142
The last time I used Windows I could do that perfectly.
Well, I'm in Korora now, so doesn't matter.
>>52046121
Actually, it's closer to six on average. I used to get four and a half average on vanilla Windows 7.

USB is complicated technology
>>52046424
Not him, but let's hear it from an obvious tech expert like you.
>plug in USB stick on Windows
>USB no work
What do you do?
>>52045916
there IS an option to change default program.
Right click > Open With > check the “Always use the selected program to open this kind of file” (or something like that) > Select the software you want to use your file with
And there is literally a tab for that in Win10’s settings for the main types of file (default software for emails, internet,…)
>>52046424
I didn't fail to put a usb in senpai, windoze did
>>52046404
Did you miss the bit where I mentioned deleting my windows partition
I would delete some files off my linux partition, shrink it, make a new partition, format it, and install windows on it just to prove to you, an anon on /g/, that the usb wasn't working, but honestly I just can't be fucked doing all that again on christmas
>>52046473
Trying the USB in other ports, in other computers, look at device manager and finally test the ports in other OS or a tester.
Eh?
>>52046473
Equivalent of these:
#df
#mkdir -p /run/media/AYY/LMAO
#mount /dev/sdXY /run/media/AYY/LMAO
Oh I am such a tech expert I will try another USB port silly me
Werkz for me
>>52046473
There is not much than can go wrong with basic USB. If it really doesn't work at all you probably try to power the device via USB and fail to do so. Device-class specific functions are a whole different beast which may need drivers to properly work, but an USB not working at all? Highly unlikely.
And Mass-storage isn't exotic enough to cause driver problems.

Just to correct you, I’m not Russian but French :)
But yeah, even if there are botnet-free alternatives, I have to admit that botnets usually offer best quality services despite collecting user’s data (I blocked it as much as possible in the settings, but eh, is it actually effective, I doubt it)

I know how do do it on Loonix, dumbshit, that's why I was asking for Windows. And apparently the Windows© solution™ is to stick it into another port and pray that it just werks. Brilliant.

>>52046319
Wait. Are you serious? I thought USB drives were pretty much the 1 thing in Wingbloos that was 110% guaranteed to work every single time in any circumstance.
I simply cannot believe that when you plug in your USB "nothing happens".
>>52046754
I prefer the features Yandex.browser offers to Chrome’s and Chromium’s, also Russian botnet runs better on my machine than Google’s.
I don’t use their search engine tho, but Google.
>>52046880
Linux users like to over-complicate stuff on windows, because shit is over-complicated on Linux, so they're not used to stuff working simply.
