Error 1606. Could access the location %APPDATA%\ network

I typed the error code in the search line and I went to support.microsoft.com/kb/886549, print resolution, and followed them. When I tried to delete the value name as he said instructions, but I get a different error message "Unable to delete all specified values." Is there another way I can remove the value? If this is not the case, what are other options that are available? I can also download all the pdf files or access Office home and Student 2007. I get the same error message.

Hello kfranklin,.

Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft answers Forum.

Right click on the values that you can not remove and click on "Permissions".

Make sure your user group (or you) have full control. It could be a Director or
another account that has administrator privileges.

Then try again and see if you can remove the values.

If this does not help, then give a more detailed description of what you're trying to delete and why.
This will give us a better understanding of what you are trying to accomplish and how we can help you better.

We look forward to your response.

Thank you.

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft answers Forum.  This problem occurs because there is incorrect entries in the Shell folder of the user who is logged on to Microsoft Windows.

  • Error 1606 could access the network location

    Zac,
    I have exactly the same problem and it appears so when I tried to install the student version of Microsoft Office and update Java and updated vesion of Adobe.  I found the Article ID: 886549 on the Microsoft Support site, but it was confusing.  It tells you that you must change the registry.  I can do it, but the first statement shown on the print are actually for Windows XP and NOT Vista.  You must go to the second page and find the Vista fix.  I followed the instructions for Visat and then you get to a second registry key that needs to change.  This time there is only a set of instructions and comparing to my values of Vista it show that my system was COMPLETELY different from those I had to enter.  My concern is that the second key values were also means ofr XP and not vista.  Can you help me?

    I made the following changes to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software. Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Version Shell thank you, Hangels777

    Hello Hangels777,

    Thank you for posting.  I would say that you haven't try any change of registry which is meant for XP.  This error is due to Java and probably the Adobe update.  I recommend you to manually check for the latest versions of Java and flash player.  You may need to uninstall and reinstall to the problem must be resolved.

    Please, try the following steps and let me know if this helps you. Zack

    Hello! I am an employee of the hospital. Currently, I am trying to install a provider software on a machine that I have admin rights and get a "Error 1606.Could access network location:.." I've read about this error in the installation/uninstallation of microsoft product, could this work to outside vendor and software?

    Is there something in the installation that needs to access something on your network? The best would be to contact the software vendor and ask them. I don't think that this would be linked to a windows problem.

    I hope this helps.
