Under Tools > Folder Options > View, do you have "Launch folder windows in a separate process" checked or not? Check here (everybody seems to have their own solution): http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/winxp/t1035471916 http://www.experts-exchange.com/Operating_...Q_20648703.html

Which of these actions causes a new window? (make sure these are folders and not drives) - With an explorer window on the screen with the tree view on the left visible, selecting a folder from the tree - With the tree visible, double-clicking on a folder on the right pane - With the tree visible, right-clicking on a folder on the right pane and selecting "Open" - With the tree visible, right-clicking on a folder on the right pane and selecting "Explore" - With the tree NOT visible, double-clicking on a folder on the right pane - With the tree NOT visible, right-clicking on a folder on the right pane and selecting "Open" - With the tree NOT visible, right-clicking on a folder on the right pane and selecting "Explore" And I guess I should ask... What version of Windows are you using?

What version of Windows are you running on? On my XP Home, unchecking "Display delete confirmation dialog" on the Recycle Bin properties disables all warnings. >I don't mind the standard delete confirmation I don't know how to have the standard without the read-only, etc., warnings.

Run "regsvr32 shimgvw.dll" without the quotes. Post here if you get any error. What version of Windows do you have?

Delete the (default) value under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell

Hey thanks, it_ybd. You did a good job.

When you say it got turned off, do you mean that it isn't the default open with handler (isn't the program which runs when you double-click the file)? Can you still run it by right-clicking and selecting "Open With >" or "Open With..."

What does your "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder" key look like? Could you post a reg file?

Hey, somebody actually posted to this topic If anybody standing by knows more about this, please post, because I've never used nLite. I'm just going by what I've experimented with. >Shell Media Handler Thanks for pointing that out, it_ybd. It blew right past me on my way down the list.

>i dont see wut foobar has to do with this but ok heres the reg I thought maybe there was something in there that was conflicting, since everything else looked fine. But if shmedia.dll doesn't exist, that's your problem right there. You can either get it off your windows cd, or download it from DllDump.com (I verified that it is the identical contents to my own on XP Home) Or [maybe] put Media Player back in to fix it.

This looks more like a game problem. Try moving the post to the Gamers Hangout by PM'ing one of the global moderators.

Could you also post a reg file for this key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\foobar2000.mp3 > yea...i cant find the last one tho Does "shmedia.dll" exist in your System32 directory? It is the "Media File Property Extractor Shell Extension" (You might have to show Hidden Files to see it.) If it does, try running "regsvr32 shmedia.dll" [without the quotes].

Could you post or attach a reg file for each of the following keys exported from your registry: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mp3 HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mp3file HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{875CB1A1-0F29-45de-A1AE-CFB4950D0B78}

I don't use FooBar, so I don't know if it would mess up anything with its installation. Backup your "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.mp3\shellex\PropertyHandler" key before trying that reg file.

I can repeat that exact dialog by making a 0 byte mp3 file and doing properties on it. I can also repeat it by removing the "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.mp3\shellex\PropertyHandler" key. The atached .reg file is what my PropertyHandler key looks like with WinXP Home and Media Player 10. Try importing it in to your registry.

If you go to properties on the media files themselves, can you get the information that you are expecting to be visible in the details view?

You mean only 3.57% know how nice a password manager is? I don't even remember the last time I had to TYPE a password (other then my master-pass). Password Safe just keys the others in for me.

Is your computer shutting down properly? Does it ever lockup? Do you hear any abnormal sounds from your harddrive?

What do you mean by autorun.exe? (I'm on XP Home, so maybe this is a pro feature I don't know about)

> cuz for an unknown reason every time i quit windvd it sets my speaker configuration to stereo, althougth i have 5.1 Sounds strange, but I guess if locking the registry values works, then good. Glad to be of help.

I couldn't find what msfn11 was referring to, but here is a workaround kind-of method: (Change "zzz" to any available extension) Using registry editor... Export HKCR\.lnk to a temporary reg file Using notepad, replace all "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.lnk" with "\.zzz" in this reg file Replace the @="lnkfile" with @="zzzfile" Save the file, and import it back into the registry Export HKCR\lnkfile to a temporary reg file Using notepad, replace all "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile" with "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\zzzfile" in this reg file Remove the "IsShortcut"="" line Save the file, and import it back into the registry Using command prompt, rename your link to something with a .zzz extension (explorer won't work because it refuses to show shortcut extensions)

Try setting this value to "1": Key: HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop Value (REG_SZ): PowerOffActive

Do you mean that if you are sending a file with the text DIR CLS (etc.) , that your .cmd file will run the those commands as if you were typing them at a command prompt? Or a, I completely misunderstanding you?
