I was trying to edit the .cfg file for half life 2 (well the config.cfg)
Since by default, you cannot open it, I right clicked%26gt;open with%26gt;(then selected notepad as default to open with for every cfg file.
It worked..
but when i open Half life 2, or any source engine games, (css, hl2ep1, ep2, etc), the Start up videos dont play anymore... and I think its cuz of what i did....
so i tried to %26quot;open with%26quot; again.... and accidentally clicked Mirosoft outlook....
now when i open with... the %26quot;Always use the selected program to open this kind of file%26quot; is now greyed out! only for cfg files. Other files work fine.
I just want to enable this again.. but i cant find a way how... please help!!!
summary:
1. Hl2 engine games (css,hl2, hl2ep1,ep2,etc) wont play the %26quot;intro videos%26quot; because I replaced the default %26quot;open with program%26quot; to notepad/wordpad for cfg files
2. %26quot;Always use the selected program to open this kind of file%26quot; is greyed out for all cfg files because I accidentally set Microsoft Outlook as a default and I cannot set it to anything else by default..
Extra questions...
-How can I set the %26quot;open program with%26quot; to its default? (before i used the 'open with')
-Is this causing the %26quot;no intro videos%26quot; for hl2 games?
I am SURE that this is the cause because right after the moment i changed the default program, they wont play.
thx
Default Program, .Cfg file, and Half Life 2 complications WINDOWS 7?
1) Delete the file association for cfg files. That's the default for cfg files - nothing.
2) It's not. Editing the file probably did. (Just because it has readable text in it, that doesn't mean that it;s a text file. If you messed the file up by editing it in a text editor, you'll have to replace it with a valid config.cfg file.)
