• What should I do after getting error messages trying to change the registry to solve a problem of inability to create folders

  I copied a file titled "windows registry editor version 5.00" to solve the problem of records but when running, got an error message that says: "cannot import c:\...\NewFolder.reg: not all data was successfully written to the registry." some keys are open by the system or other processes.

  I've eliminated the "windows registry editor version 5.00" header then tried to run again.

  This time, I got an error saying "cannot import c:\...\NewFolder.reg: the specified file is not a registry script." You can only import files from binary registry within the registry editor. »

  What should I do now?

  I can't yet create a folder. This problem started after I had the help of Norton to eliminate a problem of phishing.

  How do I change turn the num lock (NumLock) key a Pavilion 17z-F200 CTO to have a State default one?

  System BIOS has no setting for it. By another post, I tried to set the value of register in HKEY_USERS\. Default\Control Panel\Keyboard for "InitialKeyboardIndicators" of "2147483648" to "2147483650. It seems not to change after a reboot.

  Yes, the BIOS settings was the first thing I checked. But BIOS seems to only contain States in order for the locks of keys on the new HP Pavilion or Envy laptop.

  I did more research and found more credible sources to TechNet asking to change the same registry value to 2. I tried it and it works a fact/do.

• By default the monitors of the printer in the registry missing__

  I have problems with a printer/scanner.  Then, I started to follow all the procedures in your forum on the problems of printer and usb.  I came to the procedure which you enter in the registry underHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors

  the subkeys for the default printer monitors are missing.  How can I restore them?  Not having is not the default printer monitors will prevent from appearing in the box printer/Fax printer?

  The spooler starts very well.  I have WinXP SP3 on my pc. Anti-virus software McAfee with automatic updates of cox.  AMD athlon 2000 + 1.66 ghz, 80 g HD, 2 GB of ram.

  What is a thread?

  Here is the part of the info I'm talking that I copied from one of the forum questions answered, below.

  When you click Start and then click Printers and faxes to try to view your printers, no printers appear. This problem may occur even if you have a printer installed.

  Thirdly, remove the registry entries for the default print monitors

  Remove the print monitor subkeys can be problematic, which can interfere with the printer you want to use. These may have been installed by the installation programs third-party printer. Follow these steps to keep the print monitors and comes with Windows registry entries and remove all others who may ask questions.

  Start the registry editor if it is not open. To do this, click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.

  Search for, and then expand the following registry key:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\MonitorsView the list of subkeys. It should only be the following subkeys for the default print monitors:

  ·       BJ language monitor

  ·       The local port

  ·       PJL language monitor

  ·       Standard TCP/IP port

  ·       USB Monitor

  If there are any subkeys other than the subkeys listed in step 1, do the following:

  On the file menu, click Export.

  In the file name box, type the name you want to use for this key, such as MonitorsRegkey and then click Save.

  When I looked in the registry, under regedit.exe, monitors default printer in bold above weren't there.  How can I restore them?

  I just wanted to say thank you very much!  That was the problem with my printer does not.  Once I loaded the info above in the registry and restarted the system, my printer has appeared in the box printer/fax and I was able to print a test page.

  Thanks for your help!

• Periodically remove the registry keys with the Task Scheduler?

  I wonder if it is possible to create a batch script or similar small program to periodically delete the registry keys, specifically:

  [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify]
  "PastIconsStream".

  [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify]
  "IconStreams".

  A little history on why I want to do this:

  My computer is configured to dual boot (Vista and Fedora Linux), with a score of shared data.  I also use Dropbox for a group of records.  It complicates things with a system dual boot because the folder name is different in each system (vs My Dropbox Dropbox).  I worked around this by creating hubs and symbolic links in each operating system of 'real' folders to default Dropbox folders as appropriate.

  This works as expected. The only problem is that Windows Dropbox does not monitor files for changes and checks only when the program starts.  To work around this problem, I created a small script that kills Dropbox and scheduled to run every half hour using the Scheduler of tasks, followed by a task to start Dropbox.

  The only problem with this is that over time I find myself with hundreds of copies of the Dropbox icon in the status bar Notification area.  I found some instructions to reset the cache of the icon, which is to remove the two above mentioned registry keys and restart the Explorer.  So my question (finally!) is really about if there is a way to automatically reset it one or twice a day, rather than manually deleting the key each time that I remember.

  Of course, if there is a better/more way to deal with this, I'm happy to hear about it!

  Hi Mander,.

  Editing the registry, especially using a batch file and the Planner is, in my opinion, a little dangerous. After all, a bad move a your system registry key could easily be paralyzed.

  I don't really know if my suggestion would be to use or not, but it's worth a try. There is a (free) third-party application called CCleanerwww.ccleaner.com it effectively removes temporary internet files, history, cookies, index.dat file and a host of other things too. An option available in the "Advanced" tab Windows section is to clear the "tray notification cache. Do you think that this is likely to help solve your problem without needing to run a batch file? It's only a suggestion like the registry rated - is not my field, but, like I said the app will costs you nothing and it is certainly worth giving it a try. It can do what you want it to do. Just a suggestion!

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

• Can I change the default windows folder explore in the registry? No shortcuts fixed please.

  How can I change the default folder, windows Explorer opens in just to run and type "explorer". I know that I could type in extra stuff, for example "explorer.exe C:\somedir\stuff\" but I prefer to be able to put it permanently in the registry so that when I type explorer.exe (no extra stuff) it should open where I want. Is this possible? What registry entry be? I do not use desktop shortcuts or shortcuts, start changing them, that's not what I'm looking for.

  If it was going to be everywhere, so it would probably be somewhere in this multi key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer branches, but that the use of parameters on the end of the "shortcut" probably is used to send instructions from command line directly on the .exe, it is more likely it is that stored anything in the registry?

  Many setup programs accept command line parameters yet Windows will have no knowledge of these programs, so that they are installed it is why I think that it would be futile in the search for a registry location?  I could be completely wrong of course and bow to the superior knowledge.

  You could use an article like this one to make some changes and use the following (RegShot) program to see what has changed in the registry, if anything.

  If you want to really dive in and get dirty, you could take a snapshot of your registry before you make the change and the other afterwards and see if you can pick up any changes.  This little freeware program can help you achieve this goal.

• The registry settings for the program by default PDF for IE

  Hello

  I have a problem with the default program for a PDF file through the registry for IE11.

  With the key:
  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.pdf\UserChoice

  I am able to set the default program for PDF files on the desktop / Windows Explorer - unfortunately this is not an effect on Internet Explorer settings.
  In IE11 always the last installed / updated PDF program is set as default to display PDF files.

  I would like to be able to set / switch between Adobe Acrobat Reader DC und dem PDFXChange Editor as default program for IE11 through settings in the registry for all the computers in our field.

  Operating system is Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and version the most recent IE and both programs PDF.

  Does anyone have an idea?

  Additional information:
  Wenn, I use the option "open with...". "to set the default PDF program, this isn't the effect of the setting of IE - but when you use the function integrated in both programs PDF to set as default, then it works for IE as well.

• Back to its location by default, the registry database

  Hi all

  Considers that I started working on a Windows 7 computer. During exploration I see there are a lot of changes by some registry entries. To solve them, I need to go on the path and change each of them. But I think that there should be a simpler way, say a tool. I know there are a lot of tools/apps, but I don't know which ones are really reliable.
  Is there a reliable software for the back registry keys to their default state please?

  I understand that you have given and important software on your computer, but unfortunately there is no way to restore the registry without affecting the system software.

  As an alternative method, I recommend you to go for a restoration of the system that would return to your registry for the day where it was working fine. It will not affect your data but made software changes may be returned on the date of the restore point.

  To learn more about system restore in Windows 7, check out the links in the following article:

  What is system restore?

  System Restore: frequently asked questions

  Important : When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  Hope this information is useful. Please do not hesitate to answer, in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

• Error login as new user - no entry in the registry key "ProfileList.

  Hello

  I have Windows 7 Home Premium, SP1. I have several user accounts and have never had any problem creating new accounts before.

  However, I just created a new account, and when I try to log in using this new account I get the error:

  "The service user profile Service has no logon.

  A google search showed that he is a well-known and well-documented problem, so I started following the steps of KB947215. But I discovered that there is, in fact, no entry in the ProfileList registry key for this user. There are entries for all users, but not for new users I create. I can't find any other reference to this particular problem - everything I found online assumes that there is a faulty registry key that can be fixed and does not address the possibility that there is no registry key at all.

  Any help would be appreciated!

  Thank you!

  Kiran,

  Even if your suggestions do not solve the problem, they provided me with the key to solve it myself - so thank you.

  Once I realized that it wasn't only the ProfileList registry key that was missing, but the profile itself, I could find that thread. Following the advice in this thread, I realized the following actions, which have solved the problem:

  • Log on as an administrator
  • C:\Users\Default right-click, then select Properties
  • On the Security tab, click Advanced
  • On the owner tab, click on edit, select the Admin user, select 'Replace the owner of subcontainers and objects' and apply
  • On the permissions tab, change permissions, select all the permissions of the current user, select 'Replace all permissions of child object with permissions inheritable this object', then apply

  (I did it in safe mode, because it was suggested on the other thread that might help... Although I don't think that it really made a difference in the end.)

  After these steps, everything seems to work fine once more. So it seems that something has updated some of the permissions in C:\Users\Default, and this is the cause of the problem.

  Hope that helps someone to solve the problem.

• Cannot write to the registry key for Acrobat XI - Error 1406

  Hi all

  I have a problem regarding the installation of Adobe Acrobat XI 11.0.07 on a laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium OS.

  In short, I cannot complete the installation of Adobe Acrobat XI on this machine because Acrobat is not able to write the value to the registry key that is located here:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-> SOFTWARE-> Microsoft-> Internet Explorer-> toolbar.

  I tried to find solutions on the internet and found a Web page on the Adobe Forums, which is this: Error 1406.Could not write the value Adobe ARM - and it was not very useful, since the person requesting to solved his problem, but did not say how he did. So, I found this page using Acrobat, called Error 1402. Error 1406. Acrobat, Reader where I tried different solutions, but so far none of them have worked. What I did to remove all previous versions of Adobe Acrobat, Reader, Air and so on. In fact, I deleted all Adobe software, in which case one of these programs were to blame, but it did not work. Before that I have deleted all this software, I deleted Acrobat and Reader several times, but you have probably already found, it did not work. As it did not work, I tried the following solution using Acrobat, which was to 'Set permissions to their default values in the registry'. I followed the solution completely and does what he says, but it did not work. As a note, I must say that the type of registry key with that I have a problem called 'Locked', is a REG_DWORD type and the data value is (0). That this has something to do with it? I'm not too familiar with editing the registry. However, I tried to change the value of (1) and updating the registry, but it did not work...

  More information: However if I install the full version of Adobe Acrobat XI or the default installation, the same error pops up: Error 1406. I scan my system with my antivirus Bullguard software, to see if there is no virus. There are not. Also, I closed my antivirus software and turned off the firewall of Bullguard, but this was not successful either, I did a scan of my system using cmd as administrator (sfc/scannow) and the program found a few mistakes, he could not fix. As far as I can see, he finds three files .dll with errors. I have the document called sfcdetails.txt if it would be very useful for you.

  In addition, I don't know what to do. I paid for Adobe Acrobat on 23 January 2015 and I failed to make it work properly again, and I can't update the software, because I have a problem with the registry. I am able to use the software for that I had to use it to so far, but I would like to be able to use it for what it represents and update in order to avoid any lapse in security.

  Thank you. I hope that you have some ideas for my problem and will be able to help me!

  Best regards

  Hello Rahul,

  I found a way around the problem I described in the post. What I did to reinstall Adobe Acrobat XI and do not install the PDFMaker for Internet Explorer, and this solved the problem! And since I do not use Internet Explorer for PDF do, it's good for me, and now I am able to update to Acrobat. But for people who would like to use Internet Explorer for making PDF, it is of couse is not suitable... But for me it is. I still don't know how to solve this problem. It might have something to do with the fact that Adobe Acrobat XI is not able to support Internet Explorer 11, but this was written by a user on the Adobe forums, so I don't know if it's reliable. The "help Acrobat / compatible browsers and applications of PDFMaker Guide" immediately said that he made, but I'm not sure. Maybe it's a compatibility issue?

  in any case, thanks for the answer you gave - but I found myself

  Best regards

  Mads
