• After that the changing environment variables get various issues which cannot find %windir%\system32\rundll32.exe errors

  After you sort a few UAC problems on the computer of a friend (see http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/a-domain-user-in-the-local-administrators-group/745fc28d-7573-4414-aa4e-657054fc62dd) we hit another problem.

  After modification of the environment variables, it seems that windows loses some environment variables until a disconnection/connection is made. If you open a back command prompt and type the value, there are far fewer variables and things like %windir%\System32 disappeared. If you try to open the variable dialog environment again, you get a 'cannot find windir%\system32\rundll32.exe %. The same thing happens if you restart in safe mode. After a closed session/login, added environment variable are there, so they are saved, it just seems like it won't let windows none of them until a new logon.

  One oddity is that the variable env pathext has different things in after things go wrong. He started as a

  PATHEXT = .COM; EXE;. BEATS;. CMD;. VBS;. VBE;. JS;. JSE;. WSF;. WSH;. MSC. ; PY

  and after adding a new use env variable and opening a new prompt back, together said

  PATHEXT = .COM; EXE;. BEATS;. CMD;. VBS;. JS;. WS;. MSC

  Is this a sign of a register messed up, that could have caused the original problem, or something else? Any ideas on how to diagnose this problem? Any help much appreciated. I have left this in the Security section, as it seems that it could be linked to the original problem, but am happy to move.

  Any help much appreciated.

  I don't know what caused your problem, but your original path certainly seemed excessively long. There is a lot of overlap in it you need to remove - see below. In addition, having records of remote machines at the beginning of your path will cause the machine to slow down a lot. You should remove them.

• How can I create a shortcut to "change user" on the desktop using rundll32.exe in Vista Home Premium?

  I am trying to create the shortcut to "change user" using rundll32.exewithout to create the shortcut to "lock", only to pass the user. I already know that I have to right click on an empty space on the desktop, press New\Shortcut and type%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe user32.dll,but not after the comma. Type so I can only create the shortcut to "change user" and not the shortcut to 'lock '? (This means that I don't want this: %windir%\System32\rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation, with LockWorkStation after him.)

  Unfortunately, it can be done in your version of Vista (or so they say, hang on a moment.)  I found the article according to that cllaims to do in Vista Basic and Vista Home Premium in addint a file and shows a set of procedures.  As it is a 3rd party file, do so at your own risk. http://www.vistarevisited.com/2008/08/02/create-a-desktop-shortcut-to-switch-users-in-vista/.  NOTE: This is not how you suggested higher, but if it works who cares?

  In case you don't want to consider the solution above, you have refused, here is the procedure (how to do it in other versions of Vista):http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/136969-switch-user-desktop-shortcut.html.

• Games of not launching, rundll32.exe keeps CPU usage

  Hello, I have encountered this problem several times and I am completely irritated by it.

  By chance, it happens with any game installed on my PC, in which the game after the launch through the Games Explorer or the shortcut for the program will fail to run and when I see the the Task Manager or process explore, a process called rundll32.exe uses the processor, which is launched after the charge of the exe of the game.

  I looked at the different threads running in the rundll32.exe process and see the following(screenshot here) running threads, when I click on kill for the thread in the foreground running as shown in the screenshot, the game starts at the same time.

  It spent a lot and it's a real pain... and I can see its related games (gameux.dll) Explorer.

  My computer didn't have any sort of malware so please do not suggest this possibility.

  I unchecked all options related to the Games Explorer, access to the internet for album art/updates or anything like that... but the problem still persists.

  Some of the games I play: NFS Carbon, a "rundll32.exe" process is also generated at the same time. This process makes use of the processor to 100%, which makes my PC too slow like a SNAIL.

  Hello

  Can someone help me, I am trying to open files and folders, and all I get is Windows can't find C;\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe and stop me so gains access. I was told that I could find the file on another computer stick in my memory stick and reapply, only problem I have is I don't know where its located. I'm on windows XP.

  Thank you very much

  Thanks for the suggestion, Lisa!  I tried the link but it says page is more noticed.

  You happen to know any other solution for that darn missing file?  I can't open all the apps in my control panel! ACK!

  Someone found a solution to this problem yet?  Thanks a lot for any attempt to answer!

  :)

  EDIT: I GOT IT!  Browsing the internet, I came across this answer:

  Find a copy of rundll32.exe in the folder c:\windows\system32\dllcache or c:\windows\servicepackfiles\i386.
  If you find it, go ahead and copy rundll32.exe in the c\windows\system32 of the system folder.

  Otherwise you need a windows disk to extend this fichier.* *.

  I have dd a search on my computer for the file "rundll32.exe" and he came in two different folders on my hard drive.  But it MUST be in c:\windows\system32 (file there lack of).  I found the file in the folder dllcache as shown above, then simply copied and pasted in the system32 folder.  And WALLAH!  Problem solved and control panel and all the rest works just fine now!  So simple!  I hope it works for you, the people who are still struggling with this problem!

• Rundll32.exe missing, unable to reinstall open rundll32.exe or .exe files

  Then I looked around and discovered I had a virus, XP Security, erased rundll32.exe when it was faded.  Now, I found another copy on my computer to ISO recovery that accompanies it (thank you, MSI), but it is useless, because I can't OPEN. EXE FILES.  I had internet explore to open internet Explorer by selecting in the menu open with that appears whenever I open a .exe file, and that worked for a few other programs (World of Warcraft, as well, mainly to test).

  So, what should I do to open Rundll32.exe when my computer won't let me choose Rundll32.exe as a program to open Rundll32.exe with.  I select it in the open with menu by means of travel, and it does not appear in the list of programs that I can use, such as Internet Explorer and wow.

  I wanted to talk to someone on the phone for 5 minutes to understand this point, but that costs 20% of this cost my computer ($50, im on a netbook).  Come on, $ 50?  really, microsoft?

  Thank you for your response. Here's my problem. I'm on a laptop at the moment. My problem is with my desktop windows xp home edition. I can't access a Web site or make it appear an address bar imput your link. Whenever I click on internet explore or itunes or whatever it is that must be open to the top, I get the 'open with' box and it says: "choose the program you want to use to open this file. I tried to remove the rundll32.exe and go back in the folder.

  When I go to the c\windows\system32\rundll32.exe folder and remove the file, I go back to the results of the research, and he returned in the results of research after a few seconds.

  Thanks again.

  The goal is to not do not delete the rundll32 permanently, but replace it with a replacement valid. If your MAP replaces the file then it is useless to continue to delete.

  That said, the best way to solve this problem is to use a flash (USB drive) drive or other removable media to download and run the file on the link I gave you. However, if you do not have access to removable media, you can try to manually reassociate the executables.

  CTRL-ALT-DEL and open Task Manager.  Once there, click file, and then hold down the CTRL key and click New task (run).  This will open a command prompt window. On the command line type assoc.exe = exefile > press ENTER. You should receive a prompt action succeeded.

  Looks like your shortcuts can have been so separated. On the command line type assoc.lnk = lnkfile > press ENTER.

• not found c:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe

  It's one of the messages when I try to open certain files or downloads.  I can't get my control panel items to open.   What is happening with my system?

  If you see a message like this:

  Control Panel
  Windows cannot find 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe '.  Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again.  To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click search.

  This means that your system is currently or has been infected with malicious or all software you use antivirus/antimalware tools examined the file a threat and quarantined (effectively deleted) file.

  Provide information on your system, the better you can:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

  You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

  Sinusoidal signals, we know nothing on your system, I have on my SkyDrive a copy of rundll32.exe file that comes from Windows XP Service Pack 3.

  Things of course would work better here is the support engineers technical Microsoft has not assumed automatically everyone has a CD of Windows XP installation by hand, huh?  The Ministry of Education should address the problems with the idea that no one has a genuine XP bootable installation CD.

  You can download the rundll32.exe file and when you do, place a copy of the file in these two folders (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

  c:\Windows\System32
  c:\Windows\System32\dllcache (this is where XP keeps backups of important files).

  Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:

  http://CID-6a7e789cab1d6f39.SkyDrive.live.com/redir.aspx?RESID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

  When you see the files available for download, you will not see the extension of file (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, etc), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

  You have to put the downloaded files in the correct folders on your system.

  That may not solve all your problems, but at least you will be spending this part and we can then fix the rest.

  I would follow with this:

  Perform scans for malware, and then fix any problems:
  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
