Win Explorer displays file type as C:\...\pdfcreator -NOSTART... I want simple pdf display
  • PDFCreator latest 1.2.3, just upgraded from older release installed with Alibre 3D modeling software earlier this week. Since Alibre and PDFCreator install, Windows Explorer has been displaying file type as C:\Program Files\PDFCreator\pdfcreator.exe -NOSTART -PF"%1". This is annoying. I really would like to revert back to the old display of "pdf", or whatever it was (perhaps something like Foxit Reader document?). On Windows Explorer I have file type set to open with Foxit Reader, as always, but this makes no difference. Running XP SP3. How do I change the file type display back? Thanks ahead.

  • Hi,

    this is most likely a windows bug, since "C:\Program Files\PDFCreator\pdfcreator.exe -NOSTART -PF"%1"" is the command used to execute PDFCreator and not a description PDFCreator uses for pdf files.
