You could try some software which will allow you to change file associations such as http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=2430

I havent tried it, so Im not sure if it will work.

Hi there i dont want any software i just want the default settings for .tsk and dat file associations thats it
hence they can be found with the total commander software in the properties tab of these kind of files and hence i m sure that many of us would be using that software but still it has been two days and nobody is there to help me with this simple problems .

Perhaps you could tell me how to get the information and I'll see if I can pull it off my XDA-Executive for you.

niketkumar: I've checked my file associations in GSFinder, and they're exactly as PReDiToR has posted above.

Now you suggest that you already have those settings, so it appears that the problem may be located elsewhere. If you've definitely got exactly the settings indicated, then you may have deleted something else related.

I suggest that you investigate the problem more carefully and come back to us with more detail. The registry settings are what causes the file to be launched with the associated control panel page, ctlpnl.exe cplmain,13
Perhaps you've deleted other settings that you've not told us about?

If those settings already exist in your registry, how can we help you further? Perhaps you should try dumping your registry, backup, hardreset, dump registry, use SSnap to compare the registry dumps, and then teach us what you know. http://s-k-tools.com/ You can then revert to your backup and fix the problem yourself. However, if you want a virgin registry dump, I'm happy to send you one.

You seem to be fairly confident that we are all incompetent, unable or unwilling to help you. I would contend that that's very much untrue. However, to quote PReDiToR's sig,
Do not meddle in the affairs of geeks for they are subtle and quick to anger

vijay 555 u surely misunderstood me i never meant the way what you thought of it is for sure that we all are here to help each other so i m very greatful to everybody who did replied to my post and let me be frank what actually i did was that in my application total commander i selected the tsk file then properties then association option there it showed an icon with x when i clicked it , it deleted its association
Hence i checked these settings in my registry they all are there but when i m trying to open that application it says " there is no application associated with it Run the app first and then open it within the application "
and if now if you dont trust me that still i m hiding something from you then you urself can download that ghisler's total commander and try it yourself to believe me .

The other setting that is needed to make a file open is the .tsk association that points it to the settings that I gave you.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.tsk
(Default) = tskfile


HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\tskfile\
(Default) = tsk
EditFlags = 0x10000

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\tskfile\DefaultIcon
(Default) = shellresapps.dll,-15618


HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\tskfile\Shell\Open\Command
(Default) = ctlpnl.exe cplmain,13

With these two pieces of code you should be able to use the ordinary Windows File Explorer to launch a .TSK file.

If that works then your problem is mostly solved. I don't suppose the file working in TC is important if you can use WinFE to install a theme?
