All user accounts Windows XPrestricted open all of a sudden 'Map network drive' by clicking on the desktop and the "research" by clicking on any folder

Hello

you have a problem with my Windows laptop that left me speechless.

I would really appreciate if someone could provide a solution or any ideas where to start fixing this, as I get close to return to the previous backup full system, but reluctant to do so as I have never done it before so I'm worried if it really works as supposed (Macrium and Ping).

1. description of the problem

All users of Windows XP (SP3) restricted accounts open all of a sudden 'Map network drive' by clicking on the desktop and the "research" by clicking on any folder, including My Documents.

However, all accounts administrator work as before and also user accounts work like so usual, they are included in the Administrators group, with respect to the clicks of the workstation and records.

In addition, the correct icons for 'Drive' and 'Record' are visible when connected as long as administrator but lacking when logged as long as user restricted when you check the file associations by "open the folder and then click on Folder Options in the Tools menu.» Click the registry file types list. »

2 solution unsuccessful attempts

2. google and tried the solution to manually change the registry entries from Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321186

"
Start the editor of the register (Regedt32.exe).
Look for, and then click the default value under the following registry keys if this problem occurs with folders:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell
If this problem occurs with drives:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell
Click on edit in the Edit menu.
Type 0 in the value data box, and then click OK.
Exit the registry editor.
"

(Fixit associated meanings has also not working for some reason, says that the Windows Installer does not run, don't know if the same problem...)

2B. and then also tried the fix "regsvr32 /i shell32.dll" at http://blog.chron.com/helpline/2005/10/double-click-opens-search-instead-of-folder/.

After these steps, the registry under "Drive" and "Directory" information are as attaché at the end read somewhere there should be a "find" under lock and key, as I have, but don't know if the subkeys under 'Search' are what causes weird behavior.

If anyone knows and could provide what the values for the registry values must be in a system that works, would be nice to compare to possible problems.

Unsuccessfully, with what precedes, to solve the problem, but noticed through that:

2 c. When you are logged in as administrator, I am able to see and modify the registry keys concerned with regedit, considering that when logged in as a regular user, I get an error that translates roughly as "the key could not be opened [consultation]?.» Error in opening the key. "for"Default icon"and subkeys 'shell' to 'Drive' and some subkeys under"shellex ".

Oddly enough, this is also the case even if I "Run with" regedit as a user belonging to the Administrators group when logged in as a limited user.  Could be the mechanism of Windows registry access.

Noticed that the small group 'Users' did not have access to "Drive". Grant read access, even as the "directory" and other registry keys next to them, for "users".

Now see the values of registry as a limited user, but the problem persists. Do you really know what to try next, after spending hours Googling for answers.

3 computer laptop environment and other factors

3. don't know if it's related, but perhaps that coincides the time and the possible reason of sage:

I had the problem two days ago described in "account Administor doesn't have access to some files and registry entries" to http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/Microsoft_Operating_Systems/Windows/XP/Q_27415496.html.

Zone alarm free firewall prevented changing the key of HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microdsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run.

Which was fixed as in the article above tweaking of Zonealarm settings so that changes are allowed.

3. the environment of the laptop:

Acer Travelmate 8204 laptop

Windows XP SP3 with virtually all updates of installed Microsoft.

Recent issues (related?) with the .NET Framework 4 updates and the repair facility. FixIt against MS to install MS Update and the Application works and reveals no problems, but the settings from-> Panel-> Add or Remove Applications said that it cannot change or delete NET Framework 4.

ZoneAlarm Free Firewall version: 11.0.000.057, prevented possible culprit get earlier access to the registry, uninstall?

Norton Antivirus version recently installed 20.3.1.22, possibly in conflict with ZA or bug?

It seems that I managed to solve the problem on my own. Did two things:

1 set the registry keys determine programs associated objects 'Répertoire', 'Drive' and 'File' to the default values by using the settings found here: http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\

2. If you want to have permissions for group 'Users' to read all these keys in the registry. For some reason any access worked only partly for standard users.

Not sure who finally solved this problem, but after I had finished 1. and 2. for the purpose of 'Record', by clicking on 'My computer' and any folder works normally for all users of the computer.

I suspect that some recent installation of program which adds actions associated with these objects messed up the registry. Suspects are Norton Antivirus and dbPowerAmp.

Thanks for the suggestions for this problem!

    I constantly tried to use the "NET USE" syntax to get a Windows XP Home system to keep & share mapped network drive on a Windows 7 Pro 64-bit of the system and nothing I tried or worked on ANY blog. I can map the current network through made normal drive right click on 'My computer' and then provide a designation of drive letter with the correct path and have had great success using the function "connect using a different user name."

    Hello

    Since you have a network with different OS' I hope that Win 7 is configured to run on asnetwork work.

    If evry thing is configured properly it can be a problem of how your router keep information network. With the help of Staic DHCP or IP static on computers could help solve the problem.

    Just in case you need to reconfigure your network.

    ---------------

    Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

    Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

    Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.

    Public share
    = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

    Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

    General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted
    Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall isactive .

    Since you have a network with Win 7 and the other version of Windows, you must configure Windows 7 as work network.

    In the center of the network, by clicking on the type of network opens the window to the right.

    Choose your network type. Note the check box at the bottom and check/uncheck depending on your needs.

  • How to map network drives for all Windows 7 users

    I'm trying to map network drives in Windows 7.  I did it by the usual method, but readers of network appear only for a single user (Administrator) and they do not appear for other users.  Is it possible to map these drives as an administrator so that all users can see them (instead of each user maps itself)?

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi may 1

    There is no possibility to map the network drive for all users at once.

    However, you can access the mapped network drive other user accounts by using the credentials.

    To access the mapped network drive.

    1. click Start , then computer.

    2. click on map network drive.

    3. now, make a check mark in connect using different credentials.

    4. click on Finish.

    Thank you, and in what concerns:

    on windows 7 starter edition how can I open an admin account, I have a standart account and I couldn't open any software on computer please help me.even change user account cannot be opened.

    Hi kuentin,.

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    (1) - what do you mean you have only 1 user account?

    When you set up Windows, you will need to create a user account. This account is an administrator account to allow you to set up your computer and install any programs that you want to use. And that's why the user account you are using is the administrator account.

    There is no way that you can create an administrator account, or by using a Standard account.

    (2) are you having issues during installation of the software or opening it?

    (3) what exactly happens when you try to open the software application?

    (4) should be codes error or error messages, if any?

    (5) what software are you trying to install or open?

    I suggest you go to the link below and read for more information on user accounts.

  • We do not find our user accounts, it is said that they are there, but they do not appear in the folder

    We just got this PC and tried to establish user accounts.  He said that accounts of users (2) are there but they do not appear in the record and 1 single user is available.

    Hello

    Press the Windows key + R, type netplwiz command run, click OK. In the user accounts window, you should be able to see all the user accounts on your system.
    Hope this helps, good luck :)
  • All of a sudden I started getting a "Cannot complete the command because of a problem." message using the Adobe color engine Can anyone suggest what it can be and how to fix it? Thank you very much!

    Trash this stage and re - register. It could be that new file dialog tries to assign a document profile that is damaged or is no longer present on your system. If this does not work, reset the Photoshop preferences. Press ctrl + alt + shift at the launch, confirm with the dialog box that appears if you did it correctly.

    Make sure to save all your other actions, brushes and so on first!

    Shares usually work between different versions, but if certain parameters have changed they may fail right there.

  • The directory of the user on the mapped network drive

    I want to move my user directory C:\Users\Edwin to a mapped network drive E: (i.e. mapped from a network share \\\\192.168.22.9\share ).

    The difficult part is to move the directory of the user himself. I found 2 possible solutions, which are not applicable for me due to my use of a network drive.

    1. Move C:\Users\Edwin" to "E:\Users\Edwin , and then use a symbolic link of junction ( mklink -J ) to post a link to C:\Users\Edwin .

      This does not work for me because I can't create a symbolic link to a directory on a non-local drive junction.

    2. Changing the value of registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\ProfilesDirectory of %SystemDrive%\Users to E:\Users before you create the user "Edwin".

      Later, when the "Edwin" user first connects, the profile will be in E:\Users\Edwin .

    The problem is that I met a problem of the egg and the hen.

    When you first login as a user 'Edwin' profile will be created in E: . However, at the moment I first login, the mapped network drive E: is not there.

    I tried without success to the following:

    1. Create a drive mapped persistent administrator. Did not work. The mapped drive is only visible to the administrator user.

    2. Create a mapped drive persistent using the rights system (using PsExec -s ). Did not work. The mapped drive is not 'owned' by anyone, not even the current administrator user.

    3. Create a drive mapped persistent by using the user newly created by Edwin, without opening a session as Edwin again (using the PsExec once again). Did not work. It is possible to create a mapped drive under a different name, once I tried to do it with persistence ( /persistent:yes ), I get a Access is Denied error.

    No idea how this can be done? Or is it it even can be done at all?

  • Satellite Pro A300 - I get the 'Windows search' if I left click on any folder

    I just bought a Satellite Pro A300 and it downgraded to Windows XP SP3.

    When I click the icon of any folder on my hard drive I got the "Windows Search" window instead of the folder. When I right click on any folder icon, the first item on the menu (in bold) is "search".

    How can I change the order of these items in menu so as 'Open' is the first element?

    Delete (Control Panel Add / Remove Programs) the installation of Windows Search without affecting any software I have loaded?

    Looking for Windows installation installed the likely cause of my problem?

    Thank you

    Murray

    Just solved my problem:

    1. the order of the items in the context menu of files can be changed by updating actions for file types specified in the Folder Options Menu. Select Folder Options + of + the + Tools + menu of any folder, select + File Types + and scroll to the bottom for * file *. Click on * advanced * then * New * and add * open * with * Explorer * as the program to use. Click on * OK * and * Close * and bingo! Appears in the order of the menu shortcut in XP is open before you search, but in XP Pro followed research of Open / Explore.

    2. the utility Windows search can be deleted without problem despite the warning launched - Microsoft Web site indicates the warning is simply a generic warning and it is highly unlikely that removal will affect all software installed since the loading search utility.

    3. the Windows Search utility is NOT the cause of this problem.

    Trust that the other could save hours of research that I had to do to find this solution...

  • Windows 8 forget my mapped network drives and printer settings

    I have a Dell Precision M4400 I have upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 8 a few months ago.  At work, I have mapped network drives shared on two different servers (called "appsrvr" and "wsbs2008") and use a network HP LaserJet P4014 printer.  At startup, Windows remembers always drives mapped on \\appsrvr\ but not \\wsbs2008\.  Each time you start and sometimes after sleep/hibernation, I have to re - map three drives \\wsbs2008\.  I always leave "Reconnect at sign-in" selected, but Windows 8 seems to have an anterograde amnesia.  It is irritating because I have a lot of files that I use on these drives.  It's bad enough, but it seems it can be related to a problem even more annoying, which is that Windows 8 does not remember that has LJ P4014 printer of a duplex unit installed.  Similarly, it seems to happen every time you start and after little sleep deep.  It is particularly irritating because I prefer to print pretty much any two-sided and it takes several steps more fix manually at least once a day via the control panel.  If I go to the control panel and you try to add a printer, I see two options:

    "HP LaserJet 4014 on APPSRVR" - selection that immediately gives an error: Windows cannot connect to the printer.  Operation failed with error 0x0000007e.

    "HP LaserJet 4014 on WSBS2008" - selection that gives "connect to HP LaserJet 4014 on WSBS2008.domain.local.  Looking for a driver.  Complete the installation.  Windows cannot connect to the printer.  Operation failed with error 0x0000007e.

    I followed several instructions online to resolve this error, nothing helps.

    I was finally able to connect with a limited fan support IT / desktop support person to the small company where I work.  According to the properties of the device, it is connected via a WSD port (whatever it is).

    Did it come all worms down to Windows 8 plays not nice with CAT 2008 (FE Standard with SP2)?  Are there solutions to these problems other than asking the company to upgrade to a newer version of Windows Small Business Server?  Ironically, APPSRVR, which doesn't seem to have a problem with my computer has Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition Rev 2, and I had no problem with either when I had XP.  Remember, despite these problems, I like much better than XP Windows 8, but I like it much more if only he would remember my settings!

    Hi Susan,.

    Your question is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Community. It is better suited for the IT Pro TechNet public.

  • Only the administrator can read mp3 files. All users get "Windows cannot open this file".

    I am running XP SP3... After that my children were on the internet all day, they have lost the ability to play mp3 files. When I went to ' Control Panel/folders/files Types... under MP3 - we say "Sound in MP3 format" with no program to open this type of file. "

    However, when I signed up as a Director and went to 'File Types' he registered "Windows Media Player" as the program to open the file.

    So I can play the MP3 files under administrator, but no one else can play an MP3 file.

    Any suggestions?

    Hello

    I suggest you check the security settings on the file that you are trying to play.

  • XP Home Edition limited question user account windows updates.

    Is windows assume update in limited user accounts?  This is not to do it for me.   When you are logged as long as limited user, I can only run windows updates with ' run as ' administrative rights and windows updates will be download but do not settle.  I have to log on to the administrator user account to install the updates.  Therefore, it seems that for individuals (notwithstanding a technical and complicated solution) you must be connected to the computer account admin to install windows updates.  Is this correct?  Thank you.

    As for the specific error I was getting when you try to manually run windows update in LUA, where I could download but not, the error was "Windows could not install the following update with error 0x8024200e'

    It isn't the mistake that we would expect to see if the user account was not permission to install updates (for example, 0x8007F002), especially in WinXP Home Edition.

    This gives a shot:

    1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. double-click on the file that you saved in #1 above to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    4. open IE (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run the difficulty mode and then AGGRESSIVE and DEFAULT. [1]

    5. restart & test.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    [1] you must be aware that the difficulty operating in AGGRESSIVE mode will remove your history of update (to the Windows Update Web site), but will not affect the updates listed in Add/Remove programs.

  • I can't create a new user account (Windows 7): the user profile service service has no logon

    I tried to create a new user account, but I get the following error when I try to open a session with him:

    the user profile service service has no logon

    Until I leave than anything more I will add that I activated the hidden administrator account and this is the account I use to create a new standard user account.

    Most of the patches for this issue are due to the fact that delete manually a user account does not remove the registry key that are associated, and you are required to go to the next section of the registry:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS NT\CURRENTVERSION\PROFILELIST

    and delete the key associated with the user account to be deleted.

    This fix IS NOT help, because whenever I try to create a new user, Windows doesn't bother creating a registry key to the new user.  The new user account appears in the account management window.  If I right click ondesktop and select Properties, then the settings , select the Advanced tab and click settingsunder USER PROFILES, the new account appears not here no more.

    It is a huge problem.  I have other people who use this laptop and I don't want to use my login information, or the guest account.  I'm not editing the registry just to make a new account.

    Please tell me there is a fix for this that works.  Windows 7 was not free, and this kind of problem is very frustrating for the premium software.

    Thanks - this is the only tip that help me to find the solution to this problem.

    Two files in the folder C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live could not be copied without administrator privileges.  This caused the connection in the attempt fail for all newly created user accounts.  The files are:

    C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live\Bici\Bici1_00.sqm

    and

    C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live\SqmApi\SqmData720896_00.sqm

    I've added the read permission for all users in these two files and retried the logon.  The opening of session proceeded set up initial user and filled perfectly.  Probably, this problem started when I installed Windows Live Messenger which is the only Windows Live application, I installed.

    Other important in your message board was to check the event log which stressed the two files which could not copy.  Otherwise provided in WARNING messages immediately preceded files event log error message indicates that the profile service could not connect.

  • Mouse freezing on the administrator account, but not on the other 8 portable computer user accounts windows

    Hi I have a Toshiba laptop, it's only a few months. This is the second time I had this problem the first time I had to delete the user account and to set up a new.

    I was on the laptop and all of a sudden the mouse wouldn't move. I pressed the Start button of windows and door to the top of the start screen. I was able to move with the keyboard, but the mouse did not work. So I pressed CTRL + ALT + DELETE and disconnected.
    When I clicked on one my friends login it worked fine no problems with the mouse so I logged in my own but the mouse is still stuck.
    I restarted my laptop and check the updates, but my laptop is fully updated.
    I have not used my account for a few days and I just connected again and the mouse worked. I opened an excel file and started working on it for about ten minutes when the mouse froze again. I am now logged in on my friends account and it works fine.
    Any ideas? I don't really want again to delete my account!

    Nothing extraordinary. I do not use many standard only apps provided with the operating system. I upgraded to 8.1 after posting the question, it seems to have done the trick... for now... If all goes well!
