Stuck in the Games folder, shortcut does not delete or remove

RobbMiller posted this on a closed thread.

Hello ahhhhhhhh,.

I had this same problem and here is how I fixed (I have Windows 7, but they are substantially the same, so I don't think it should be otherwise)

1) go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameUX

(2) develop HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameUX\S-1-5-21-1024406848-2370630625-919077267-1000 (it may be something different)

(3) navigate each folder and note the title usually in most binary data.

(4) select the folder where your link is and delete it.

(5) check the 'games' to see if it is there. If Yes, proceed to step 6. If this is not the case, proceed to step 7.

(6) http://tinyurl.com/y9z75vg

(7) celebrate!

BUT

I see two things in the GameUX: GamesToFindOnWindowsUpgrade and MachineSettings.

They are both empty, although they display by default in the menu on the right and that's all.

What happened is that I dragged a shortcut on the desktop (which was also a game Steam - half-life 2)

It shows in games thing but I can't right-click / Delete or see the icon for halflife 2. just a picture of default icon...

I am running windows 7 64 bit.

Any help would be great

Thank you!

OK the FIXED.

After said Manasa P, he now seems to show the files required to remove repeat step below.

1) go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameUX

(2) develop HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameUX\S-1-5-21-1024406848-2370630625-919077267-1000 (it may be something different)

(3) navigate each folder and note the title usually in most binary data.

(4) select the folder where your link is and delete it.

(5) check the 'games' to see if it is there. If Yes, proceed to step 6. If this is not the case, proceed to step 7.

    When I click with the right button on the program, say the painting and choose Properties, she says, they are located in the System32 folder, but they will not even open when I click on them directly. I think that is why my last Windows Update will not install, because this is a security fix for the painting.

  • Stuck in the print module, LR does not open

    I was in the 3.5 LR print module and tried to print a file. The printer did not work properly. Now, LR is stuck as if he won't do anything else until the file is printed. I rebooted, deleted the printer, even ran repair on LR 3.5. Nothing helps. Any suggestions? When I try to start LR it opens up where start modules, and then I get the LR has encountered a problem and must close.

    There are a couple of things, you can try (one at a time):

    -Move or rename the LR preferences file. If this does not work, replace.

    -Move or rename the print presets folder. Ditto.

    To find all the two is on this site.

  • The catalog folder structure does not alphabetical

    In Lightroom 5, my file structure catalog shows that the first two in my pictures, Arizona, then Madden folder files, then my files newly created in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016. Then the rest of the folders are alphabetical and all in the right order. Why not in Arizona and and Madden are listed below by date or file numbers?

    Check the Top 2 files to see if they have a space in front of the name.

    Other that these 2 folders, everything is displayed in order. That's what leads me to think there is a space before the name.

  • Drag and drop the game. splice method does not work on the table

    Hello

    I have a drag and drop game. You listen a sound for 'bread' peculiarities, you switch to slide that mc in a box. If it's the right object I want to delete as mc and splice table so it isn't select this object more.

    However I notice two things.

    When I splice (0) a specific item - so nothing works.

    When I connect the indexed element cuurent IE: the last element to get right - it is not actually delete it table.

    I highlighted the parts of key code.

    private function placeBubbles (): void
    {
    var nextX:int = 0;
    for each (var: bubble in bubbles)
    {
    bubble.buttonMode = bubble.useHandCursor = true;
    bubble.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragHandler);
    bubble.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, checkDrag);
    Bubble.x = 0 + nextX;
    Bubble.y = 300;
    nextX += 100;

    addChild (bubble);
    }
    nextGameRound();
    }

    private function nextGameRound (): void
    {
    currentIndexArray = int (Math.random () * bubbles.length);
    currentBubble bubbles = [currentIndexArray];

    currentBubble.playSound ();
    }

    private void checkDrag(e:MouseEvent)
    {
    e.currentTarget.stopDrag ();
    If (this.currentBubble.hitTestObject (this.box))
    {
    If (currentBubble & & currentBubble == e.currentTarget)
    {
    currentBubble.visible = false;
    trace ("Right");
    Bubbles.splice (currentIndexArray);
    Bubbles.splice (0);

    trace (Bubbles);
    nextGameRound();
    soundCorrect.play)
    }
    }
    on the other
    {

    TweenLite.to (e.currentTarget, 1, {x: xIni, y: yIni, ease:Strong.easeOut, onComplete:onFinishTween}) ;// - If you want something happens on the ending of tween - good idea while children must wait})

    }
    nextGameRound();
    }

    the splice() method accepts two arguments.  the first is the index of the item to delete (start) and the 2nd argument is the number of elements to remove.  in your situation, you should use:

    Bubbles.splice(currentIndexArray,1);

  • Why the standard keyboard shortcuts does not work in the new update?

    Suddenly the standard keyboard shortcuts for example, Zoom (Select the Zoom tool temporarily) and moving around the document (Select the hand tool temporarily) no answer/works? Others with the same problem?

    No problem here.

    Usually, it is a sign that some third-party utilities entering your keystrokes (Shift key, key Alt/Option, etc.).

    Try restarting. Turn off all your startup apps or hold the SHIFT key as you launch your operating system to turn them off. Then open InDesign and probably all will be well. Therefore you need to understand what it is (e.g., Chrome plug-ins are common problems) that is causing the problem.

    Someone had this problem?  It drives me crazy.  Any time I rename or move a folder and try to use the option 'Find the missing folder' it does not show one of my hard drives!  It has been like that, through several updates of LR.  I continued to pray that the next version of lightroom would fix this, but so far no luck.

  • Why not a game show upward into the Games folder more?

    On the first computer, I installed Windows 7 on (there are two facilities), The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion appeared in the games on its own folder.  After the death of the mother of the computer, I installed Windows 7 32 - bit on a new computer, andoversight were not included in the games. I had to add manually, and it would download album cover nor does not endorse the links.  I am now on a third computer, Windows 7 64-bit and oblivion did not appear in the Games folder (although his predecessor,Morrowind, a).

    Y at - there a rhyme or reason to this, and then I manually fix the problem?

    EDIT: actually, I have a similar question on another game. The game itself did not appear, but the expansion pack has.

    Hello

    Most of the new games generally automatically appear in the Games Explorer folder when you install on Windows 7. However, some previous games may not appear
    in the Games folder, and in this case, you will need to manually add the shortcut of the game in the Games folder.

  • 'Ctrl + End' keyboard shortcut does not work as expected. I tried safe mode. does not move the tab to the end of such specified list, just scroll to the end of the page.

    According to http://support.mozilla.com/en-us/kb/keyboard+shortcuts,.
    'Ctrl + End' should move the active tab to the end of the list of tabs.

    But the shortcut does not work. Only, it scrolls to the end of the current page as if only "End" is pressed.

    I tried the mode without failure of firefox and closed all other open programs.

    What to do to debug this problem?
    or may there is a bug in firefox somehow?
