This isn't just a vLite issue by the way, its affecting a lot of OEM copies too, I can post some links later if you want. Forgive my ignorance, but when you say 'default keys' in here: 'HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\FolderDescriptions' do you mean just create the '(Default)' entry again or am I missing something? I installed the updates last night before checking for issues, and look what happens.... Couldn't remove them either. I'd hate to have to reinstall if I can help it. Thanks, and keep up the good work nuhi!

nice detective work nuhi

Wow, I second that.

thanks nuhi. =)

DigeratiPrime, it was a pain, especially when I saw that I did nothing wrong.

wintertiger, oh that's great news, I hope MS reads this and fixes that hotfix installer to be more flexible.

Default is what would be on the full - retail Vista there, few entries with class numbers. I can export the one you need, let me know which version of Vista.

BUT the issue is that reg tree is protected probably and simple reg import will be denied, but you can try, if nothing else you could add the missing ones manually.

Thanks nuhi, I'm running Ultimate x64 right now, I appreciate the time you're taking to solve Microsoft's problem. I'll PM you a link to the discussion on the TechNet board so you can check into anything new Microsoft comes up with regarding the issue, it gets more interesting around pages 4-6 I think.

Well they can always say "you shouldn't have tampered" so they are safe.

Here is the x64 Ultimate clean export of all the entries attached.

FD.zip

Thanks, and yeah, Microsoft is off the hook...

nuhi, can you share the entries for the Vista Ultimate x86?

thanks.

i've just been comparing that reg file to my x86 version and it's identical from what i can see - i haven't checked every line but i've checked as much as i can fit on screen when they're side by side at the start and the end of the file.

and it worked straight away - didn't have to re-install the updates. just imported the file and bingo.

Thanx Nuhi,this reg file work fine with 86 version too!

marc2003, wait a second, it fixed your rename issue or just the reg import worked but it's still the same?

(just playing safe before celebrating)

rezzo, here.

marc2003, wait a second, it fixed your rename issue

yes.

doesn't even need a restart. one minute rename doesn't work.... import the reg file and it works immediately.

Ok, now someone with the 64-bit to confirm and we're done.

Or I'll make a quick virtual test...

*sounds of geeks celebrating*

Thanks nuhi.

I import the .reg file and immediately the rename function works.

Yep, pre-import it won't work, post-import, no restart, problem solved.
