  1. Well, I don't know what to say. It's working fine now.

    What happened... I don't know. I was going to make a small divx video to better represent the problem and possibly post it here. While doing so; I enabled/disabled hidden and system several times, then switched to Windows Classic theme then back to my modified theme and it's working flawlessly now.

    I'd post the video, but it's over 400mb. Divx won't convert it, stating that the origianl video source is an invalid codec <shrug>

    Oh well, thanks for the help.

  2. Well, I can safely say it's not the UI. The UI I have runs on 3 other workstations, so I have eliminated that issue. Again the problem just came up a couple weeks ago. I have no shell modifications.

    I've compared the desktop.ini file with a working system and it's ok. At least I think it is... I never seen anything within the desktop.ini file in root or Windows\System.

    Bagsmru/BagMRU are saved folder settings, but doesn't disable Views if the cache becomes full. The system just discards older settings and replaces them with new. Even a corrupt bagsmru/bagmru shouldn't disable the 'View' function.

    From what I see in tweakui I don't have the ability to reset folder settings at least ver2.10 doesn't.

    However, this is what I did...

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer (Delete string: 'Shellstate') 
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CabinetState (Delete string: 'Settings')

    The following are what I delete every six months or so:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StreamsMRU
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagMRU
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\BagMRU
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags

  3. Nope.

    Though when I enable Hidden and System Files, Views are again activated for Root, Windows, System and System32. If I disable Hidden and System Files, Root, Windows, System and System32 directories no longer allow displaying Views.

  4. Has anyone seen anything like this before? Explorer Views Disabled on the toolbar and also within the context menu. I just noticed this about a week ago and now just looking to fix it.

    Works fine within "My Computer" and any drive besides C:

    Untitled-3.jpg

    Toolbar Views disabled (Greyed Out)... Only in the C drive. If I move to E, G, F... Views work fine.

    Untitled-2-1.jpg

    Context menu also disabled... Views do not scroll open.

    This is strange... registry corrupted? Can't find anything on google regarding it. However, found something about some unregistered services, but re-registering services did not resolve the problem.

  5. I'm looking for a script or some direction on creating a batch file, which will search the entire registry for several variables (key, string, binary, dword... etc) then delete them if exist.

  6. Besides the fixes suggested here. The best way to resolve this if a fixmbr does not resolve it:

    1. Boot into repair mode on the XP cd.

    2. CD to the cd drive

    3. navigate to the i386 dir

    4. cd_drive:\>expand ntdlr.dl_

    5. reboot...

  8. Well that's just cause you don't know how to cover your tracks. :D

    If the school admins are clever enough and know how to setup the network (CORRECTLY); Regardless of what you do your attempts to access (bypass) the network are logged. Not too hard to setup SNMP on the routers and monitor traffic per segment, IP, User.

    Don't be too sure of yourself. ;)

  9. Every one at school has there own name that is on the main server, when my friend is logged into his name firefox portable works but when i'm logged into my username firefox just can't connect, why?

    ps. my friend is in yr 11 and i am in yr 9, would this have anything to do with it?

    Possible the net admins know you're attempting to bypass their security. Therefore restricting your account.

  10. fiz has a good solution. Works great. However, prior solution ended with Vista recognize the drives BUT shown the drives having no data on them (displaying it as a format), over 200gigs, booting into XP reads just fine.

    Haven't played with it much to figure out what needs to be done to resolve the issue. forgot to add this is RTM

  11. Don't Blame Mr Billie Gates... If you're looking to blame anyone; blame Corporate America and capitalists. Besides, have you ever thought how much money you can make just by supporting an OS? Apparently Not.

    Would you work for free?

  12. Ok, so I was a bit bored this weekend and decided to setup Windows 2003 Server RC2 and install Windows Media Services module. I'm able to stream local media on the server, but unable to figure out how to stream media which is stored on a network storage medium.

    What i've done so far is mapped the drive and Windows Media Services does not recognize that network location and only displays A, C, and D.

    Any suggestions?

  13. Boy, oh boy... where have people begun to think a RC1 is ready for any games. Let alone expect any game, for a matter of fact, run on a system that was built upon the 2003 server architecture.

    Wait until the final product has been release or when your favorite Windows ME games are ported over.

  14. wow 128 builds since RC1, <blah, blah, blah....>

    bit disappointing this release really....

    Quit complaining. Besides, the build number is not a literal digit.

    There is only 1 RTM version - the actual release of Windows Vista.

    Of course you have to pay for it!! Unless you get it bundled with a new PC that is.

    You won't be able to download it from Microsoft (Well, not yet - maybe one day?). You go to your local computer shop, pick up a Windows Vista box and take it to the till. Once you hand it over to the assistant, they will swap the display box for the actual thing and at this point you hand over some money (Around £200). Then you now have a copy of Windows Vista RTM.

    That is how you get Windows Vista RTM when it is released.

    Its only going to be complete next month, not released. Coporate customers get it in November with everyone else getting it rearly 2007.

    Cough... downloadable to MSDN / TechNet members :w00t::ph34r:
