How do I change a file with the extension of .txt to .dll or Windows Shell extension?
I changed a file from a .truststore which opens with windows shell to a .txt. I need to change it back.

This is on server 2008 r2. I have a file that should be opening with Windows Shell how to I re-associate it?
Windows 7 and 2008R2 are built on the same kernel so it will be the same steps. also hold shift+right click the file and select Open With > choose default program > select powershell.

Windows Powershell is not showing up but its clearly installed. Also when I browse for it search can't pick it up.
You can press the browse button and navigate to the default location which is below...
C:\Windows\System32\Window
Powershell.exe

Okay I was able to associate with powershell but I don't believe that is the same as Windows Shell. I have attached a screen shot of another file that I'd like the .truststore to be associated with.

I don't believe the file was ever really associated. As long as the file can be manipulated, I think that is all that matters. Unless you have any insight on that statement I will consider this solved.
Change it to .bat
Not clear what your txt file has to judge whether the .bat is an appropriate extention to use.
