Question: Can't create ZIP files in Windows 7 Home Premium

So, basically, here's the deal.  Whenever I try to make/create a file ZIP containing separate files or even containing a single file, I get an error message.

"Could not complete the operation.  Access is denied. "

I am the administrator and I should have complete and total control right?  I need to create folders zip for the work, but the only way I can do right now is with WinRAR, which works very well, but I don't want to pay $40 more for something that I should be able to do that through Windows.

Anyone have thoughts or ideas on why I can't make ZIP (compressed) files?

Help!

in regards to the third task... There is no merge option when you right click on it from the desktop.

I guess only he saved for you with the .txt extension. Just rename the .reg file, but...

On the previous message and the 2nd task, try this:

  1. Press the Windows key + R > type regedit and press enter
  2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.zip\OpenWithProgids
  3. In the right pane: right-click on the WinRAR.ZIP > delete
  4. You can also check these two keys:
    • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.zip\OpenWithProgids (there should be only (default) and CompressedFolder )
    • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.zip\UserChoice (this should not exist)
  5. Close the registry editor and restart your system.

    Thanks for any help.
    It's really frustrating.

    First thing, I looked for. The "Share With" was not there either. Abandoned and went the long way on this subject for that to be resolved more quickly.

    A disk image backup, re-installed Windows 7 and found the ntshrui.dll keys in the registry and it has exported to my office. Restore the disk image and import the key in my registry.
    All back to normal now. Tab share is present. Problem solved.

  • Want to download a file Iso Windows 7 Home premium is this website legitimate or not

    HI, I would like to reinstall Windows 7 Home premium on your desktop that I have at home because desktop came with an installation disk.  So, I was doing some research on the internet and I found the following site that says if you have the correct product key for your version of windows if the product key is correct, you can download an iso file on your computer and burn it to a cd or a usb key.  What I would like to now is the site following Web is a legitimate Web site:

    https://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/Windows7

    I was wondering it is free no charge to download the Iso file on the site or I have to pay a fee.

    I want to just make sure that is not an illegal site first and foremost, I do everything legal.

    Thanks a lot team Microsoft for your help

    The site is to give some problems.

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:
    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

    Make sure you scroll down and read the section:
    What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

  • Can't change screen brightness in Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit?

    I recently updated my old A305 laptop Toshiba Satellite Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit for Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit and it does not allow me to change the brightness of the screen, when I use the sliders, then click on save changes, nothing happens, tried to restart anything, tried the monitor generic PnP Manager peripherals/monitors/uninstall and nothing happens , can someone please help me my screen is literally blinding my eyes!

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    We would be happy to help you with the problem you are facing today. I understand the difficulty.

    Here are the instructions for setting the display brightness. Basically you can adjust the gamma in Windows or adjust the brightness on the screen itself:

    Within the BONE:

    1. press Ctrl + ESC, then type "control". This will put you in the control panel.

    2. double-click on the display icon.

    3. Select "Calibrate color" icon located on the left side of the screen next to a blue and yellow shield icon.

    This wizard provides a walk through to adjust the settings of your screen for the color and the brightness of your monitor setting.

    The Wizard "calibrate color" is good to cross, but the area you want to adjust brightness would be the page titled 'adjust gamma. You can adjust the settings until the screen has the brightness that you prefer.
