• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE

  Hello

  I am trying to create HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NEWKEY but REGEDIT.exe does not show the new key on this path, instead, it apears on

  HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-3683771369-3266819176-3176474894-2642\Software\Classes\VirtualStore\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NEWKEY.

  Reading, writing and deleting works very well, but not on the path I'm specifying. Everything is done on a different path.

  RegWriteString (REGKEY_HKLM, "SOFTWARE\\NEWKEY", "KEY", "1234");

  Why this behavior happening?

  Thanks for your time.

  Kind regards.

  Thank you for your suggestions.

  Currently my programs for XP no problem should ocurr, but in the future, I have your sugestion API Windows function SHGetFolderPath() if something does not work as aspected.

  I wanted to use the registry for the simple reason that I think that data shared folders may be changed/deleted by any user. Of course that the registry has the same problem, but I don't think that many users 'normal' dare to even open it. (I think...)

  Thank you for your help.

  Hello JohnDeCastro,

  Thank you for posting.

  • The EXE file opens in Notepad.
  • EXE file opens in a few other installed programs.
  • Windows displays the 'Open with' dialog box to select the program.
  • Windows displays the error message "Windows cannot find .exe file. Make sure you typed the name correctly.

  Most of the time it happens when you accidentally replace. Type of exe to Folder Options settings. Sometimes, it can happen due to the virus.

  In any case no need to worry. Here's a solution that will fix this annoying problem:

  1. open RUN command prompt by typing the command in the dialog box.

  2 provide now following command:

  cd\windows

  3 it will activate the Windows folder. Now provide following command to open the Registry Editor:

  Regedit

  4 now goto following key:

  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe

  In the right pane, change the value of default elements exefile key

  5 now goto:

  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Exefile\Shell\Open\Command

  In the right pane, change the value of the default key to:

  "%1" %*

  6 that's it. Now, quit the registry editor and restart your Windows. Now you should be able to open EXE files without any problem.

  Please let me know if this helps you.

• Try reinstalling iTunes but I get the error "could not open key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\.m4b\OpenWithList\iTunes.exe.

  original title: problem with installation of iTunes

  Hi guys

  iTunes was running great until I tried to update to 9.0...

  I tried the apple forums and forum of microsoft ideas, but nothing helps...

  I use a dell 17 with vista home premium with sp2 installed studio.

  partially, he settled then I get this error:

  Could not open key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\.m4b\OpenWithList\iTunes.exe check that you have sufficient access to that key or contact your support team.

  I guess you're the closest to support staff I have....

  in any case... I uninstalled itunes and quicktime and itunes now will not reinstall.  I tried the version 8.2.1.6 and I guess I can try the previous version... I also tried opening the HKEY and got in what concerns the OpenWithList, but he will not give me access.  I have no idea what I'd do if I got there, but I watched out of curiosity and was blocked...

  any info would be greatly appreciated!

  If you have guitar questions let me know, I have been a tech for almost 25 years.

  Thanks again, scott

  I had the exact same problem and error as you message the guy but he fixed earlier. I'm not an expert, or even trained somehow. I just worked through until I got everything to install. If you try this, please back up your registry first.

  In any case, here's what I did.

  First of all, I uninstalled iTunes, Quicktime, Apple Software updater toally, _-anything with Apple in the name.

  I opened regedit using 'run as administrator '.

  I then went to the registry key:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-1-5-18\Components\DA42BC89BF25F5BD0AF18C3B9B1A1EE8\108B43C0CEA676640B35306AE7D24051

  .. .and selected the folder DA42BC89BF25F5BD0AF18C3B9B1A1EE8

  Right-click & click Permissions
  Click Advanced, and then click the owner tab
  Type "Administrators" in the current field of owners and th check Replace owner subcontainer and volumes

  (Note: I did this because I had another key with permission issues, after I fixed the original onelisted above)

  Apply the settings, and then click Permissions tab. Once more, add 'administrators' to the permission entries list, and then click on edit and select all the checkboxes of permission. Also click on the boxes of the 2 bottom regarding permissions inheritable.

  Click OK

  Now on the main permissions tab, choose administrators in the windows user name or group and then check the full control and read check boxes. Click OK.

  In the main window of regedit, you should now see the keys in the right pane for each subfolder in:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-1-5-18\Components\DA42BC89BF25F5BD0AF18C3B9B1A1EE8

  In the menu bar click file > exit

  I downloaded and installed the new handset iTunes9 and apple Quicktime.

  Everything worked well. I hope this helps.

• Firefox.exe suddenly only 2 k (and IE 1 KB) & flagged up as a malware

  January 13 (2015), I was surprised to find my anti-virus (Pure 3.0 at the time) Kaspersky software tracking upward of what follows as a malware (trojan):

  Firefox.exe C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe HOUR: Trojan.WinLNK.StartPage.gena
  Iexplore.exe C:\Program may Explorer\iexplore.exe TIME: Trojan.WinLNK.StartPage.gena
  eBay Sidebar for Sidebar C:\Users\David\Desktop\eBay Firefox.lnk for Firefox.lnk HOUR: Trojan.WinLNK.StartPage.gena

  I followed the instructions to the quarantine and re - start. No problem. After re-booting, I couldn't access Firefox and discovered that he had indeed been quarantined - with IE (which I use rarely) and eBay Sidebar for Firefox (which I have not used for a long time). On the restoration of these, they are still identified as malware. Further investigation revealed that firefox.exe was only 2 KB - and that is only 1 KB.

  Kaspersky was advised to switch to total security, that I did and it has continued to identify the files as malware. Full virus controls, including safe mode, is not revealed. Run a suite of recommended anti-malware programs don't have pick up a limited number of bits and pieces (and I deleted) that Kaspersky has not, although my research on the net pointing everything be the kind of things that produce advertisements on browsers... not something that would erase or rename programs (I don't see bad ads though, perhaps because of my settings in Firefox Kaspersky and NoScript).

  Kaspersky feels firefox.exe has been altered (on 2 k, it is certainly not right) - Although that corrupt is another question. All other files \Mozilla Firefox seem to be there, and I have no problem with other software or files on my PC (just those three). Again the same thing happened to IE at the same time. That is a hard drive failing very little likely indeed - but it makes me suspicious that there was * something * deliberately made that Kaspersky did not pick up. However, it would be unusual for decent antivirus software like Kaspersky miss something. In addition, the same question must occur widely around the same time, because if everyone around the world lost their browsers he would have made the news - not to mention advertising malware that corrupts the two browsers being rather doomed to failure!

  Either way, the desktop shortcuts have been replaced by the Windows icon by default for programs that do not have a shortcut to measure. And by clicking on what was the shortcut of Firefox opens a DOS window, which closes immediately; IE does the same thing but a "16-bit MS-DOS Subsystem" error box appears (these are the days!) with:
  C:\Users\Public\Desktop\Internet client.lnk
  NTVDM CPU has encountered an invalid statement.
  CS: 123f IP:012d OP: 8f 9f af 6th ba choose 'Close' to terminate the application.
  [By clicking on 'Close' or 'ignore' both close BACK - and that's it.] [No virus or something similar is picked up and four anti-malware programs, I am using now show that my system is clean.

  So my questions are:
  (1) any thoughts on what happened?
  (2) I need to get Firefox working again. Can I simply copy firefox.exe from another machine and replace the existing 2 k firefox.exe and everything should be good, as it was before... or it is not as simple as that? (I understand that Firefox keeps preferences, etc., in separate files).

  Thanks in advance for your comments.

  Dave

  Sorry, you had this problem

  It my be possible and work if you replace the firefox.exe problem

  However that could cause problems and the solution would be to download and install Firefox again by an official site, and by using a pure install involving the removal of the existing program files. (Care to leave the files and folders from one Firefox profile. In fact, it would be interesting, as a precaution suspenders belts ; Locate and save first)

  • See Firefox crashes at startup_try a clean install
  • Backup and restore Firefox profiles information
    • Profiles - where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data _finding-your-profile-without-opening-Firefox

  As to what happened, you gave a well-reasoned and intelligent summary, but after the event, it's going to is almost impossible to define. Sometimes the AV brand and/or & false positives especially temporarily if not totally updated.

  Clean reinstall it

  Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

  Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

  1. Download the latest version of Firefox from mozilla.org office (or choose the download for your operating system and language on this page) and save the file to install it on your computer.
  2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (or open the Firefox menu

     

     Click the close button

     

     ).

  3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
     • Windows:
       • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
       • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
     • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
     • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
  4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
     1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
     2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

  More information on the resettlement of Firefox can be found here.

  WARNING: Do not use an uninstaller to third parties as part of this process. This could permanently delete your Firefox profile data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and passwords saved. They can be retrieved easily unless they have been backed up on an external device!

• Firefox.exe is suddenly gone, so ie11 tried to access the internet to reinstall, but it will not download - now what?

  Hello everyone, newbie here with a weird problem. Looooong time FF user and could care less about IE or Chrome. I recently did a backup of my Acer Aspire One with Win7 Starter user, as I have before, to an external and everything seemed fine except when I tried to launch FF, I received a message that the shortcut can not locate "firefox.exe", I want to remove the shortcut? WTH? So I try the search of the entire computer for him and of course he went. So I try to reinstall FF with an .exe from a previous installation of upgrade and even though she acted as if it might work, but then I got the message "interrupted installation". Bleerg.

  OK, so I opened IE11 here to download a new copy from scratch. IE seems to find the download page of Mozilla very well, but it displays a blank window. I see some elements of the download page, but not the necessary parts, which are visible on IE on my Toshiba (which I did to see what missed me). I tried the same thing with Chrome, just in case IE has, um, ignorant of Mozilla. No, same issue with her.

  So now I run CCleaner Registry Cleaner to see what might appear and this is there are a handful of questions firefox.exe. As I am on my Toshiba to ask for help, I have to manually type in what I show on my Acer:

  I want to install various plug-ins on different profiles for evaluation.
