Vista 'Open file location' has stop working after installing IE9 Beta

My context option 'Open file location' has quit working on all the shortcut files (.lnk).  Choosing 'open file location' triggers WITHOUT ERRORS and seems to not trigger any increase in CPU activity, or I can't detect any change in process explorer, it's just nothing at all.  BUT it doesn't seem to work because he used for the FIRST time (and only the first time) I have choose it from a shortcut on the desktop after a reboot... as long as I do not first open all records.  PLEASE NOTE that this behavior only started in the morning, after I installed IE9 Beta on my computer.

I use Vista Ultimate SP2 on a box of Dell, Intel Pentium D 3.00 Ghz with 3.5 GB of Ram.

I rely heavily on "Open file location" to navigate through my system so that your help will be greatly appreciated.

Here's the sumery of FileExtInfo.exe of my .lnk file associations:

Thanks for the reply Martinez!

1. sometimes for all the shortcuts in all folders, including the office.

2. sometimes for shortcuts related to music files, JPGs, microsoft word files, exe files, and others.  The shortcuts are in several different directories.  It is worth noting that the target location listed in the properties files is correct exe programs will be running, and music or photo files will play/display double clicked.  Only problem is NO way to open the folder of file location of the shortcut target.

Step 1: Permissions for all folders that I normally use are the same they have been for years, which includes the folders that contain the shortcuts and those containing targets.  They are: 1) the permissions of system-all verified.  (2) MyName (HOMEPC\MyName) - all verified permissions. (3) Directors (HOMEPC\Administrator) - checked everything except special permissions.  The exception being the 'Programmes' to root folder that has no permissions other than read, execute, and list.  Subfolders for individual programs have the same permissions as mentioned above for my usual records.

Step 2: I uninstalled IE9 Beta and the location of the file open function has been restored as if by magic!  .Lnk file associations appear to be identical to what they were when that was the problem.  IE9 has maybe a bug or an incompatibility in this somewhere1?

Thanks for your help... I'll check to see if it is what I do for IE9, like the speed increase!

  • on dv6 fingerprint reader has stopped working after installing Norton 2012

    Fingerprint reader has stopped working after installing Norton Internet Security 2012 on both of my notebooks from HP.

    Product name: HP Pavilion dv6

    Operating system: Windows 7 64-bit

    Error message in Device Manager under biometric devices in Device Manager displays an exclamation mark beside validity sensors (WBF) (PID = 0018). The following message is under the general tab: "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19) ».

    Driver is present and seems to be up-to-date.

    Appreciate your help.

    I have finally isolated the problem of my software lack of HP dv6 fingerprint reader. I think Norton Removal Tool, available online at www.symentec.com/nrt, was the reason. I am sure this conclusion because the exact same problem occurred after I installed Norton Internet Security 2012 on laptop HP same as my wife. I tried, in vain, to uninstall and reinstall the driver for the biometric fingerprint device provided by Validity Sensors, Inc.

    After spending a day and a half to try to "solve" the problem, I decided to restore my system and go back to the prior agreement of the point of the installation of Norton. Thank you HP to make this process quick and painless. Don't forget that if you installed anything after the restore point, it will have to be reinstalled.

    Fortunately, there's a less intrusive on CD of Norton removal tool. This utility uninstalls an older version of Norton you are requested to restart and then installs the latest NIS. It is a method of removal safer that wide brush offered by the Norton Online link, which wipes everything remotely suspect.

    After reinstalling Norton Internet Security 2012 from the CD, everything works as it should, including the fingerprint reader.

  • Satellite U300-130 - TosBtMng has stopped working after installing Nokia PC Suite

    I have the same problem too... with Toshiba Satellite U300-130.

    Bluetooth worked well enough before I installed the Nokia PC Suite for my mobile on my PC (new version 7.1.26.0 Web site).

    To be correct, as a first step, I even managed to maintain a connection between the PC and the Nokia Bluetooth and ran the synchronization of the contacts. I tried several times, but each time synchronization run ended with the message "PC couldn't get response from your Nokia.

    After the reboot, my PC went crazy and started broadcasting the message "TosBtMng has stopped working" and it restarted every time that I ask him to close.

    Installation of the new version of BT Stack (6.40) does not resolve this error.

  • Satellite P200 - Microphone has stopped working after installing Windows 7

    My Satellite P200 came with Vista Ultimate, the mic has worked for a few months, all of a sudden it stopped. I decided to install Windows 7, but the microphone still does not work.
    Any ideas anyone?

    I use this laptop for skpe my people a lot. I can use an external mic very well, but really want my only integrated works again.

    Hey Buddy,

    Sounds like there of something wrong with your installation of Windows 7 so the microphone doesn t work anymore...

    I recommend updating the driver of the webcam, because the microphone is a part of it. You can find updates driver here:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

    I put t know what Satellite P200 you have exactly, but if you can t find a driver Windows 7 for webcam, choose another model which is fully Windows 7 taken in charge, e.g. by Satellite P300.

  • Sony motion eye cam on my sony vaio vgn-fe48g has stopped working after installing win7

    Please could someone help me to set up the Board Sony motion eye cam and FN keys that don't work after upgrading from Vista to Win7, Sony are no help at all.

    Device Manager can't even see the cam. I tried to install it manually and the nearest me am added the cam, I was able to start.

    Maybe you are missing the drivers. Are there drivers available for this W7?

    You should check with Sony for your specific model and area/region Web site to see if they provide any W7 drivers at all. If Yes, have you installed them for the web cam?

    EXAMPLE - this site is for the India, they have a few drivers for Vista HP 32 bit, but none that seems for W7 HP 32-bit. - http://www.sony.co.in/support/product/vgn-fe48g

    This is a missing driver for W7 then issue you might try to install drivers vista in compatibility mode, but this is not guaranteed and can cause other problems. Back up your data first to be safe. See http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/98073-drivers-install-vista-drivers-windows-7-a.html and you need the correct version of the pilot 32 or 64 bits depending on the case.

    This error message comes just out of nowhere I do not install anything or make updates when this issue was raised. I tried to restart the computer, but it did not help.

    I checked for viruses, but none came.

    Then, I tried to do system restore, but it could not solve the problem.

    In addition, I used the command line to find the problem and found a few corrupted files, it has been unable to remedy.

    Details of SFC are:

    «2010-11-17 11:38:44, Member's file Info CSI 00000160 [SR] cannot repair [01:24 {12}] "settings.ini" in the sidebar of Microsoft Windows, Version 6.0.6002.18005, pA = Process_Architecture_Intel <0>...» »
    and there is more like that, but I don't know how to copy and paste these messages.

    I don't know what to do from here.

    I don't want to reinstall all of Vista. In addition, Vista is PREINSTALLED on my computer.

    Oh and I am not an expert in using the command prompt,-j' found how to do this in other forums.

    Please help on how to solve this problem.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Norton search spyware however your question may be caused by or to the less aggravated
    by Norton.

    Norton/Symantec is known to cause strange problems and aggravate others. Better is to uninstall
    for a test by simply disabling will still allow pieces of it to install. Uninstall it and run the Norton
    Removal tool to avoid problems causing leftovers being left behind. The following recommendations
    to use when testing, even better all the time.

    Norton Removal Tool
    http://us.Norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docURL=20080710133834EN&LN=en_US

    ------------------------------

    Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
    launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
    reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
    Operation of the network.

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
    right of IE)

    Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x

    Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
    Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
    Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
    Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
    disabled - click OK

    Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
    and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
    Finish those you don't use).

    Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
    programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
    or use Google to see how to remove.

    PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
    would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
    (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
    never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

    I hope this helps.
