  Hi Tim,.

  To accomplish this task, you must change the Windows Explorer target area

  (a) click Start | All programs | Accessories.

  (b) right click Windows Explorer, and then click Properties.

  (c) change the path in the field target to point to the desired Windows Explorer folder to open.

  (d) click OK.

  (e) the key box is the target area. To change the shortcut to Windows Explorer to open a specific folder of your choice, enter the target as follows:

  c:\windows\EXPLORER. EXE/n, / e, X:\Folder of your choice

  This will show a folder and all subfolders under him.

  Otherwise, you can try this out for a slightly different look:

  c:\windows\EXPLORER. EXE/n, / e, / select u:\Folder of your choice

  This will show the folder and all its subfolders is collapsed.

  Hi Sheryl30,

  Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forum.

  Since when are you facing this problem?

  What are the hardware changes, did you?

  Wuauclt.exe is a Windows Automatic Update Client first.

  Wuauclt.exe rest reside in the background and checks the Microsoft Web site for updates to the operating system.

  Originally, wuauclt.exe is a legitimate system process, which is located in C:\Windows\System32, but there are cases where wuauclt.exe is actually a disguised virus, Trojan or worm.

  If you find wuauclt.exe stored anywhere different from its original location, you should get really suspect and scan your system for possible threats.

  Search for the file and see if you have this in several locations.

  If you find, run a scan of Malware on your computer. Find a good program and run the scan of Malware on your computer

  You can also set your computer to the State of clean boot that you get this error randomly. This will help you determine if the services running in the background are the cause of the problem.

  Here's how you set your computer to clean the boot:

  b. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  c. under the general tab, click Selective startup, and then clear the check box load startup items. (The check box use the file Boot is not available.)

  d. on the Services tab, click to select the skin all the Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all.

  e. click OK and then click on restart.

  Here is a link to the article that will show you how to troubleshoot using the clean boot:

• Satellite Pro A100-622 can not read the card SD and Memory Stick with Windows Explorer

  I have a Satellite Pro A100-622 running MS Vista Home Basic Edition. I tried to use the card reader integrated with SD and Memory Stick card but cannot view the contents using Windows Explorer.

  In both cases, the laptop recognizes the card and try to install new hardware. Unable to do so, he asks the drive of the software provided with the cards. Any software not provided with a card and I cannot find drivers to make the drive work.

  The only application that I can find on the laptop that is associated with the player is a module of SD formatting, but I don't want to format the card (s) I want to just read the current content of them and add files.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  You can download the drivers (and especially in your case for the sd-card-reader) here:

  http://PC-support.Toshiba-Europe.com/Vista/

  and here

  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  So the other point is the service of the SD card must be enabled in the start menu-> Control Panel (change to Classic view)-> Administration-> Services-> Chip card (at this point, you must activate the service and configure it to start at windows startup).

  If you have any other questions, just ask. ;)

  Good bye

• Problem with the Explorer Windows XP (Home) to explore a network place

  I can set up a network and get a path to the root with no problems. I can also directly access the http address via my web browser (Chrome).

  When I navigate to the network place in Windows Explorer and try to explore the path I get the error message "the current operation cannot be completed because an unexpected error has occurred" the same process on my laptop XP pro works fine.

  I think that it all depends on WebDAV.  Any ideas on how to fix it please? I've been through Art 287402 without success.
  The main difference between the two XP machines (outside the Home and Pro) is that the Pro machine still has installed Office97 Pro while the Home machine has Office 2010 Pro installed. Both machines have Explorer 8 is installed even though Chrome is used both as a browser.
  Thank you

  Update works fine until yesterday. Microsoft tool ran (no change), reloaded Windows Update (no change), a tool for malware own virus check comes to nothing. Any ideas?

  Since it is a Dell computer, chances are a Norton or McAfee free trial is preinstalled. When you have done the clean install, the free trialware would have ALSO reinstalled (but not valid now).  Let's see if the execution of two removal tools & a few tweaks resolves the behavior.

  [You can print these instructions for reference offline. [If a step said to restart, restart! ]

  1. click right on the following link to download the Norton removal tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  1B. right click on the following link to download the tool McAfee Consumer Product Removal, save it to your desktop: http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. double-click on the file that you saved in # 1 a above, to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  3. double-click the file that you saved in # 1 b above to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then reboot again.

  4 start | Settings | Control Panel | Add/Remove programs. Set Program Access and Defaults: select (check) the CUSTOM [<>] configuration option, and then click the arrows pointing to the far-right | Browser: select "Internet Explorer" here (to not "use my current... »). [1]

  If you return to check the out parameter #1 above, it'll be "Use my current..." "but now it's going to be"point"to IE so that you don't need to change anything or reset. [Think of it.]

  5. now check your settings here: IE tools | Internet Options | Programs | Default web browser: If the make default button is NOT dimmed, click/press it.

• 8.1 Windows Pro problem with HP OfficeJet Pro 8600

  I am running Windows Pro 8.1.
  I tried to install the software and drivers for HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 without success.

  I tried to remove the software, reinstall, reboot the computer, do a 'clean' start, and nothing has worked so far.

  I received the following error message:

  Impossible to install a file that is necessary because the CAB file c:\users\User\appdata\local\temp\7zS2EAD\OJ860x64.cab has a signature digital invalid. This may indicate that the file is corrupted.

  The error message is the same every time I try something new.

  I am able to print, if I add the printer through the option "add a printer" in Windows Explorer, but I want to install the complete software so that I can scan also.

  I downloaded more than 10 times the files several associates of troubleshooting: troubleshooting HP Installation failure MSI, HP Print and Scan doctor, but they have not helped at all.

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello Alfitoand welcome to the Forums of HP, I hope you enjoy your experience!

  I see that you have found errors during the installation.  I want to help you with this.

  I would start by trying to install on another account on the computer.

  It also seems that there may be a corruption in the temp directory.  I suggest you remove all your temp HP folder.  I am including the steps to get the specific folder:

  -On your keyboard, hold down your windows key and R key

  -A 'RUN' box will become available

  -Type in %Temp%, and then hit

  -Open your folder that begins with 7z

  -Delete everything inside

  -Restart your computer

  Once you have done this, I recommend reinstalling the software using the HP printer install wizard for Windows.

  If this does not resolve the issue, I would recommend going to your home screen in mosaic, and typing in CMD and press to enter.  That will take you to your command prompt.  In you command prompt, type sfc/scannow, and then press ENTER.

  Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting operations. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  ===========================================

  Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

  It is preferable to ensure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

I can download from these sites with Vista and XP with other computers. Now, I can't download the programs that are supposed to solve the problem! including FoxFire
