• Take possession of the System32 folder

  I have problems to install things like Visual Studio, the GPU drivers, printer drivers, file transfer from desktop to a folder on the desktop do not let me use or delete the new file, update Windows Defender and who-knows-what else that gives me an error immediately. Understood the problem with the GPU drivers by taking possession of the 'pilot' and 'DriverStore' files in the System32 folder with 'Appropriate' in the context menu. My old PC is running the same OS without any problem at all.
  Tried to buy permissions System32 the usual way, but I get an error. For the "pilot" and 'DriverStore', I used the context menu. It works, but it gives me the permissions (Administrator) AND I (users) defines as the owner. I just want to have permissions to change (installation, etc.) things and let the owner of the same. Now, the owner is not the same thing in other folders. SYSTEM and TrustedInstaler all the way with different permissions for them. Generally 'Users' have 3 permissions, 'Administrator' has 0 permissions, 'TrustedInstaler' has 1 authorization, "CREATOR OWNER" has 0 permissions, 'SYSTEM' has 0 or each authorization. Sometimes, there are even my username with 0 permissions, but especially it is not at all here.

  1. is it safe to take ownership of the whole System32 or even Windows folder?

  -> No, this isn't. This could destroy your system.
  
  2. how to set full control in permissions without getting an error?
  -> You do not because he didn't need to. To install the software, right click on Setup, then click "Run as Administrator".
  
  3. as a last resort: if I format my HARD drive and do a clean install, will this problem persists? Or is there a way to prevent it from happening?
  -> It's a perception problem that does not exist when you adopt methods applicable to the installation of a program.
  In other words: leave the Windows folder and its subfolders only.

• Windows XP SP3, corrupted registry. Corrupt / missing windows system32\config\system - restore via Recovery Console cannot copy files of origin of the system32 folder. Please help.

  When my husband's computer was incorrectly stop we met the ' Windows XP didn't start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM "error message. I understand that the registry is written on the judgment and that it is not rare that the registry damaged during the power failure or abnormal stop. Checking the bandages for details on how to proceed, and begin the process of recovery appearing in theArticle ID: 307545 of http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545/en-us below:

  «First part in the first part, you start the Recovery Console, create a temporary folder, back up the existing registry files to a new location, delete the registry from their existing location files and then copy the registry files in the repair folder to the folder System32\Config.» When you have completed this procedure, a registry is created that you can use to start Windows XP. This registry was created and saved during the initial setup of Windows XP. Therefore, any changes and settings that took place after Setup has finished are lost.

  The full, first part, follow these steps:

  1. Insert the diskette of starting Windows XP in the floppy drive, or insert the Windows XP CD into the CD-ROM drive and restart the computer.
     Click to select all of the options required to start the computer from the CD-ROM drive if you are prompted to do so.
  2. When the "Welcome" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.
  3. If you have a dual-boot or multiboot, select the installation that you want to access from the Recovery Console.
  4. When you are prompted to do so, type the administrator password. If the administrator password is blank, just press ENTER.
  5. At the Recovery Console prompt, type the following lines, pressing ENTER after you type each line:
     MD tmp
     copy c:\windows\system32\config\system c:\windows\tmp\system.bak
     copy c:\windows\system32\config\software c:\windows\tmp\software.bak
     Copy c:\windows\system32\config\sam c:\windows\tmp\sam.bak
     copy c:\windows\system32\config\security c:\windows\tmp\security.bak
     Copy c:\windows\system32\config\default c:\windows\tmp\default.bak.

  There was no administrator password prompt, but the console began without incident. I was unable to copy these files to a folder. (Yes, I checked my spelling and made certain that the commands, parameters and syntax are accurate.) I created another directory and tested the console by copying the files to repair to the secondary directory. These copied without any errors. I was able to discern that there are no problems with the console itself.  At this point, I'm not sure how to proceed.  There is data that has not yet been backed up and must be recovered where it is suggested to do a new/factory install. Therefore, I need to know if there is another way to proceed to the recovery or if I do a fresh install. In addition, any suggestions on its disk data recovery, if the new installation is the only way to move forward, also would be appreciated. Thank you.

  Just to be clear, when you have tried, for example, to run this command:

  copy c:\windows\system32\config\system c:\windows\tmp\system.bak

  You have an error message (please report it to full) or maybe nothing happened.

  But you did another directory (say 'c:\windows\otherdir') managed by running the following command:

  Copy c:\windows\repair\system c:\windows\otherdir\system

  If this is the situation in which you are in, you are essentially impossible to create a backup copy of the current registry damaged.  This is not the end of the world, because as you can see by reading the full article, you never use these files master anyway.  This step is just included "on the side of caution" so that you can restore the original registry files, corrupted, if for some reason you wanted to.

  Because you cannot start the system anyway, you might as well begin the process described in the article without creating these master files.

  You can either make the step remove first:

  delete c:\windows\system32\config\system

  or just try to copy the files in the directory of repair on the files in the \system32\config directory and answer 'Yes' when asked if you want to replace the existing file.

  Note that the success of this procedure assumes that you run the system restore.  Otherwise, you'll find yourself with the registry as there was when Windows installation - which certainly won't be compatible with the State of your machine today.

  Essentially, what you are doing are the following:

  1. While in the Recovery Console, restore the registry to its state when you first installed Windows.  This allows you to start Windows - but do not try to use any application program.

  2. in Windows, copy of the registry that is saved in a recent restore Point to a location that are accessible by the Recovery Console - but not by using the restore application from the system itself, because with the 'original' registry, System Restore is not aware of these restore points.

  3. While in the Recovery Console, restore the registry using the files you made available at step 2.

  I don't really know what's the point of the stage of section 4, unless it is to use system restore to restore to a different restore point.

  If you can't make things work by following the steps above, or if there is no recent restore points to use in step 2, then you are correct: you must backup your data, do a clean reinstall of Windows, then reinstall your applications with original media and restore your data from backup.

  If you are able to do step 1 and start Windows with its original register, you should be able to use the native Windows tools to backup your data.  I would not use NTBackup, but rather just copy (do not use the 'move' command) data on an external hard drive.  Alternately, you could boot from a live CD of Linux (for example, Knoppix) to access your drive and copy the data.  Or if you have a bootable CD from a like Acronis Disk Imaging application, you can use it.  If you would like more information in this sense, after return.

• CANNOT write to files in the shared folder of XP on a PC running windows 7 - but good vice versa

  I have a laptop under Windows 7 (SP1) and a desktop running XP (SP3).  I have connected both via a wireless network. While I can see and access shared files/folders from one computer to the other computer, I can only read/write files in the shared folder on the portable computer that is running Windows 7.

  If I try and change a file in the shared folder from the PC under XP on my laptop, I get the message "this file is set to read-only. Try again with a different name "."  I know that the file is NOT checked for read-only. When I change the name of the file I get the error message "\\Desktop\SharedDocs\filename.doc you are not allowed to save in this location. Contact the administrator for approval.  You want to save in the folder my documents instead? "If I save the file to another location on the laptop under Win7 it save then OK.  I can not just save a modified version of the file in the same shared folder from desktop running XP.
  It seems that it must be something to do with permissions and access to the parameters of the desktop running XP but I can not find these. Fairly easy to find in Windows 7.
  Finally, I don't have a login/password set for the connection to the computer to Office XP.  I don't have a user name and password for the laptop Win7 but you have turned off password protected sharing.
  Anyone have a solution to this?
  Thank you

  OK - the problem is now resolved.

  I noticed that the read-only for the shared folder has been checked. When I unchecked it and also checked the box "allow network users to change my files" in the shared folder properties/sharing, I was able to modify and save files in the shared folder on my laptop.
  It's a little weird because I thought I had done this the other day where the results have been less successful.  Strange.
  Thanks for your help.

• Why should I copy of a CVI DLL compiled in the System32 folder?

  Hello

  I've been letting the compiler CVI copy of a DLL (project) in the windows\System32 folder.

  It was mainly to leave more than 1 other executables CVI, installed in different folders under \Program Files\

  Discover and share this code of the DLL.

  In addition, when you build the kit distribution for the DLL, I directed the DLL must be installed in the System32 folder.

  When you introduce this concept in a review to an other software engineers, a mechanic found that the System32 folder should be reserved for windows, hardware drivers, etc.. My CVI DLL needs to reside in the working folder of the executable main partner, or any other location. His concerns were uninstalling and updating process, and if the DLL were at a location specified by the installer, it would be easier to follow, etc..

  I'm assuming that NEITHER recommended CVI to "COPY IN the \Windows\System32 folder. Why?

  Should my fellow engineer some friendly advice?

  [BTW, he used NEITHER CVI occasionally, especially with other languages]

  Thank you ALL

  Scott Youngren with CVI 8.1.x

  Hi Scott,.

  Even if we are aware of them or not, most programs use System32 as their destination of DLL.

  I myself wouldn't mind too much about.

  Have you seen this document?

  You can install to a different location and use the PATH environment variable where you can not convince that system32 is ok.

• Is it possible to add programs to readers separated at the Run dialog box without putting a shortcut in the system32 folder?

  When I want to run something from the Run dialog box, I just type the name of the program.  For example, to use the command prompt, simply type cmd.  But some program I have to type its full path.  The only way around this is to put a shortcut in the system32 folder.  Only, I forgot that I put it there, and I often erase it as a kind of Trojan horse.  I don't like things like nonwindows randomly in my system32.  Is this in any way about this?  I put a shortcut in the %ProgramFiles%, but it seems random with a shortcut to chance here.  In addition, if the shortcut is located in a folder in system32 or %ProgramFiles%, it won't work.  Shortcuts in the %windir%\System32 too much work, but makes me more suspicious of my own files.

  This is precisely what concerns the environment variable "path".

  The applications that you want to be able to run in a directory on your disk to another.  If, for example, you have a dirve D:\, you could create a directory named D:\MyApps and place the executables in D:\MyApps.

  • Open the system properties (right click on my computer > properties)
  • Click the Advanced tab
  • Click the "Environment Variables" button
  • Scroll down in the "System Variables" box until you find the variable "Path".
  • Select 'Path', then click on change
  • Go to end of the text in the edit window, and then type a semicolon followed by the path to the directory you created for your applications.
  • OK your way out.

  Be careful when you change the path variable that you add only.  If you delete the existing path variable (or part of it), it is likely that something no longer works correctly.

• Cannot replace the authui.dll in the system32 folder

  Yes I know I'm not supposed to do that, but I want to change the Vista login screen.  I copied and edited the original authui.dll, but when I try to ' move and replace "/" copy and replace "it in the system32 folder, nothing happens - screen flashes as if the file has been moved, but when I check, there is no authui.dll in the system32 folder.  I opened the file in Reshacker and has replaced the original authui.dll file with my changes successfully but the result is the same in both cases: Vista does not accept an edited version of authui.dll and the login screen remains black with only a slider and I'm forced to use sytem restore to restart vista.

  Why authui cannot be changed?  I don't understand!? I know that imageres.dll and basebrd.dll can be changed, why not authui.dll?

  I have vista 32 sp0 Home premium and I took possession of the file.

  It seems that this person was able to do it if its not impossible:

  What is the file deleted the files in the main folder, and can / should I remove it? Is it too much room, I could use?

  This file stores a list of files from previous version of Firefox that are no longer needed or supported in the current version of Firefox. This file is only a few KB and it is best not to delete files in the Firefox program folder to avoid update problems. If the required files are missing or modified with a update Firefox will download the full version (approximately 10 MB) instead of a small incremental update which is usually only a few hundred KB.

• How can I move files to the system folder?

  Hi all

  I was wondering how to move files to the system folder. With the update to El Capitan and the former program is no longer works and the developer suggests moving some files on the system folder that should fix it, but even if an administrator account I don't have write access to the system-> library folder where they need to go. Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Steve

  In short: you do not have. The folder/System is only for Apple.  The new protections in El Capitan make it impossible for you to place the files.

  This is what the folder/library for: install additional components to the system, but keeping them separated from the basic installation.

  What software are you trying to run? What files we told you to move? I'm curious to know what type of developer will tell you to put the files in / System.

• Where the photos are normally stored on a Mac computer? In the folder images in the Finder on my Mac, I see a file called "Library.photoslibrary Photos" i.e. 28.52 GB but I also have about 160 other image files in the same folder. But in pictures,.

  Where the photos are normally stored on a Mac computer? In the folder images in the Finder on my Mac, I have a file named "Library.photoslibrary Photos" i.e. 28.52 gb and another folder called 'iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary' i.e. 4.95 GB, but then I have also on the 160 other photo and video files in the same folder. But in my Photos app, it says that I have 6 260 'elements '.

  The pictures that you have imported into the photo library are, by default, stored inside the package (not file) "Library.photoslibrary Photos" in your pictures folder. The 'iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary' package would contain photos that have been stored in your library, iPhoto at the time of the migration.

  The other files in the pictures folder are that: other files. Also, they can be in libraries if you imported and has not deleted the copies lying around in the images.
