Many times I I get this message that says: The file does not have a program
associated with it for performance this action create an association in the
Set Assocatiated control panel.

Could you help me?

It means what it says. There is not a program associated with whatever you
are trying to open.

For example, .txt opens with NotePad.
..doc with Word
..pdf with Acrobat or Acrobat Reader or other
and so on and so on.

What you need to do is find one of the file types, right click and select
Open With. then choose the program you want to use to open it, check the box
to let it do it each time.

Hello,

I agree with DGuess. You can look at this link for how to do it.
