<p>Figured it out... I went into Windows File Explorer and double-clicked on one of the PDF icons with an ArMaterial name underneath. Windows told me it didn't have a program assigned to open that file format, so I browsed to "nXtMaterialEditor64.exe" and assigned it to the "ArMaterial" file extension. Magically, all the little PDF icons went away and I saw "slides" of materials instead. (Now if I could only get rid of the spheres and convert the slides to cubes, I'd be really happy. I can…</p>

I can do that one by one, but I don't have a year to spend on it. Any chance someone can write a macro to do that?)</p>

<p>Nope... Rebooted a bunch of times since "successful REGSVR32". Large, Medium, and Small Icon Views all show PDF icons with the names of the ArMaterials underneath. The AR5 installation on my old computer (that died) worked fine. When I transferred AR5 over to the new Windows 10 computer... it crapped out. I'm wondering why Windows is assigning a PDF icon to the items. Perhaps there's somewhere in Windows settings to unassign the PDF icons? Where are those material "slides" stored (and…</p>

<p>Try switching the View to something like Large Icons:</p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/55263273?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="721" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/55263273?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="721" class="align-full"/></a></p>
<p>I've also had people say they've had to reboot before the change took effect. Try that.</p>

<p>It doesn't look like you're running cmd.exe as an Administrator. To do this:</p>
<p>Go to Task Manager and select File->Run new task</p>
<p>Check the box which says "Create this task with administrative privileges."</p>
<p>Type "cmd" into the control marked Open.</p>
<p></p>
<p>You should see the word "Administrator: " in the title bar of the command prompt.</p>
<p></p>

<p>Other things can still be going wrong here-- but give this a try.</p>

<p>Are you able to open a command prompt as an administrator, and migrate to:</p>
