I mistakenly changed the file association of a .ghuser file to be associated with Rhino.exe. This changed ALL the user object files to be associated with Rhino WIP. I uninstalled WIP 8 and all the GH files and directories, then reinstalled Rhino. The .ghuser files are still associated with RHino WIP. I can’t seem to remove the Rhino WIP extension. Can anyone help?
Thanks -
create a .ghuser file in grasshopper (create cluster, then save as ghuser) should get your icons back.
File association is a Windows thing, not a Rhino thing. Click the “Change” button on that image and change it to a different app. Not sure which one you should set… ? 
No luck, Created a simple cluster, saved it as a “Create User Object” and still ended up with the WIP 8 association when I tried to load it. This is the error I get:
My best guess is that I have to go into the registry and change the association manually but I don’t know how to do that.
grasshopper doesn’t open .ghuser files, you put them in the correct folder and then the components are available in grasshopper after restarting your Rhino instance.
That is the question. I don’t know what association to set it to. I think I may have to do it manually in the registry, but again, there is no executable that opens a .ghuser file.
I don’t set the association. It shows up on its own after I save it without an extension.
you don’t open .ghuser files though, creating a .ghuser should fix your file icon/description
NO! Don’t do that.
I’m running put of options. I completely uninstalled WIP8 and all GH components. Loaded a fresh version of WIP 8. Ran GH, created a cluster, saved it as a User Object, went into Special Folders / User Object Folder, and I see the file I created with the WIP8 extension. Get an error message when I try to load it.
you don’t load them manually. They load when Grasshopper opens. Type the component name in the grasshopper to use.
You wasted your time.
