Registry tips and tricks

If I click on a xls or word file locally it launches word or excel but when I'm on the internet and I download a xls or .doc it crashes and won't bring the associated application.

Where is the association located for the web? Can you help??

Internet Explorer tries to use the dynamic library interface shared by the application and crashes, I can't really tell you why.

I don't know if any updated windows products have sought to solve this problem or not. I still use older versions 95, 98. But it is something I would like to see. I have a list of unusually named file extensions that my computer hasn't associated with any particular application. There are literally a thousand of them on a bbs system each with numbers going from 000 to 999. They are all zip docs but my computer doesn't recognize them as such till I give it a properly recognized extension number. Can you get your computer to sweep all unknown file extensions and route them to a certain application and then maybe use a Question mark as an icon so that your you know that although this is going to open up with your chosen app, it still is unknown to your computer right now. That would certainly keep me from having to go through my computers file association menu and place all 999 of the extensions to my zip app.

You can do that, just open the first tree (HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT) and find the *. It is meant for all extension types.

Look at the handlers for other extensions (.txt for example) that you know to see what you can add there.

I use Win98SE and while the asterisk (*) is used for all file types, if you scroll down towards the end of the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT hive key, you will see a subkey called Unknown. Here you can add a its own subkey called DefaultIcon for using your own icon on unknown file types. Under the Shell subkey, you can add associations to open, edit, etc., using the same format as the other file types

i need more information about registry(like current vision) and also about the settings in systems.

the folder will be indicated with a +

click on it and he is open.

in the preload folder is an entry

like

1 REG_SZ 00000409

these entry

keep the information for the keyboard layout. in this example united states

00000C0C est le clavier Canadien français

0000040C est le clavier Français (azerty)

etc

hi, I have a question regarding testing softwre installation. I work in an It department and from time to time there is a new software to be insalled. But for a lot of time those product may not installed properly. ?I want o check ac couple fo things:

1. the HKEYS are populated after the installtion

2. files are present and permission are right after the installation (before reboot if required)

3. temparary files that are introduced during installation are cleaned up after installation

4. after the system reboot (if required). 1,2,3 are done and application lanunced.

5. 1-4 requirements applied to different OS (microsoft platform e.g. XP, 2000 Server, 2000 advance server, Data Center, Win NT 4.x, 20003 Professional Server etc) required in the IT.

We use some script to check the HKEYS before and after installtion & the files. But they still require a lot of eyeballing. And it wastes a lot of my time in pressing button loading up images of different OSes and eyeballing. I would rather run this automatically, log the file.

Can anyone suggest what they have done?

How can w e deploy a component using registry in VC++?

What I would like to do is In win98se, Change all the default "ShortcutArrow" icons across my system, to a simmilar but -Green-ShortcutArrow Icon, or 32x32.bmp file, wich I've created elsewhere on my pc. I wish only, to do this with win98se's Regedit program. (as TweakUI and simmilar programs cannot keep up with Microsoft updates and changes.)

can some one please walk me through this process carfully,

and in detail?

for sake of argument, lets presume that the Green ShortcutArrow in question,

is on hard-drive as

D:/alt/system/icons/Green_SC_Arrow.bmp (32x32 px.)

--NOTE--(& Please observe carefuly)--

-I'm generously experianced with Regedit. but definatly no expert.

-I have Tweak UI and it fails to accomplish the abode task, due to:

- my InternetExplorer Verson = 6

- I have written a text file, that i renamed "WorkDarnYou!.reg"

and executed this file in the standard doubble left clicking fashon.

and contained in the text file, were these lines:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Shell Icons]

"29"="D:\\alt\\system\\icons\\Green_SC_Arrow.bmp"

This sucessfully changed the regestry to read:

29 D:\alt\system\icons\Green_SC_Arrow.bmp

but it is not solving the delema.

the white and black default ShortCutArrow icon still remains.

--End NOTEs--

Please Assist.

PS: I'm Like, -SO- sure, that this java-applicate will remove all the preformatting of this text i have written. omg. >.<

Jamil, you CAD, you are very clever and somewhat like me in this regard , however what your trying to do is software theft...If I understand correctly. The reason they do the trial period is so you can try it and then NOT use it anymore until you purchase it. If you like the software, then just spring for the fee and enjoy it man.

I've got a friend - really - who is having a problem - he can sign in under his Yahoo ID, but all of a sudden is unable to access the Yahoo Golf area - it comes up with a "cannot find server" error - wherein he use to be able to access this no prob. It is just on his computer as this area can be accessed from anyone elses computer - which lead me to believe that it may be something that is stuck in the registry files that isn't allowing him to do it.

How can I correct a dso exploit error?

how we read start menu text above 5 letters please all detail tell me for start menu

First off!!!

DOWNLOAD THIS "RESOURCE HACKER" it's an application to change ANYTHING you like in ANY fricking .exe, .dll, *.oxc, and other fricking application!

Here's the site!

http://www.users.on.net/johnson/resourcehacker/

Download this fricking application!

Now when you have those "ResHacker":

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

FIRST THING FIRST!!

ALWAYS SAVE AS THE BACKUP!!!

Save as ( .BAK )... You might Screw up very badly if you make an mistake.. So, Save as .bak

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

1.

Open this directory to this application

- C:\Winnt\explorer.exe (or in C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe)

2.

See all the folder that say;

-Bitmap

-Icon

-Menu

-Dialog

-String Table

-Accelerators

-Icon Group

-Version Info

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

3.

Click on this folder "String Table"

In "String Table", click on this folder "37"

In "37" click on "1033"

Now you see this list on your right...

That's display like this;

578, "Start"

579, "There was an blah blahblah"

580, "Restrictions"

581, "This operation has been...."

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

4.

In this line of the number "578" that show "Start", Click on that and Change it WHATEVER YOU LIKE!!! but keep it below 10 characters for the start up... My say "Got R00t?" with linux logo in it...

click on "Compile Script" on the TOP of the ResHacker to COMPLETE it!

5.

LOGO!!

Creat any logo you like for this Start menu, My guess of the size should be 20x16... Create this first then start reshacker...

6.

Same directory as in explorer.exe

Now click on this folder "Bitmap"

In "Bitmap" click on "143" and again click on "1033"... Now you see the picture of the WINDOW LOGO!!!

7.

Time to change this LOGO!!

Click on "Action" and click on "Replace Bitmap"... Now you see the pic of the Window logo, Click on "Open file with new bitmap..." And find the LOGO you've create! All after that... CLICK "REPLACE" then you're done!!

8.

Click SAVE!!!

9.

Close the "Resource Hacker" and RESTART your system!

10.

Log in!

11.

And Ta DAA!!! The beautiful logo and your magical text!! ENJOY!!

If this DOES NOT WORK!? then it's ON YOUR OWN!!! best thing is to GOOGLING this "Resource, regedit, Start Menu, change, Decompile, Replace"...

It's not my responsiable for any error cause in your "Start menu"... Remember if this goes ERROR then you got the Explorer.bak to fix it back to normal...

Good luck and enjoy hacking!

I have a Intel P4 1.6ghz and 256ddr ram,40 gb samsung 7200rpm hdd. But still then my computer is working very slow. Can u suggest me how to increase the performance

increase ur ram to 512 megs. keep the swap file on a disk (or partition) with atleast 1 gig free space.

if programs can run widout installing them, then don't install them, keep ur registry small.

use system mechanic to disable unnecessary startup programs. u can do this wid msconfig also (click start>run and type msconfig.)
