I have installed windows 7 build 7600 on my P4 PC.While i am taking computer management by right-clicking the "computer.Computer>right-click>Manage.I have got an error message that "the file does not have program associated with it and please re-install the program......

This is the error message i am getting please help....how to get rid of this ....error

[gosh]

you wont get that on a clean installation, which means you are leaving out information. You probably used a tool like nlite and removed some components you shouldnt have

[arunstar008]

it worked first after the installation but after some restart ......it started giving this message

[Tripredacus]

See what happens if you just try to run MMC from the run box.

[arunstar008]

no error in mmc. i have also added computer management from there also no error....

Can you tell me what happens when you run the Computer Management Launcher

%SystemRoot%\system32\CompMgmtLauncher.exe

It is still the same error when running %SystemRoot%\system32\CompMgmtLauncher.exe

[MrJinje]

But it works just fine when you run "mmc %SystemRoot%\system32\compmgmt.msc"

i can open computer management by all other ways...

but by right clicking computer>manage will not working ........

[MrJinje]

I don't know why it is happening, but I might have a solution.

Try this registry tweak - it changes Manage right click to use the msc directly instead of calling the launcher.

mmc %SystemRoot%\system32\compmgmt.msc

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Manage\command]
@=hex(2):6d,00,6d,00,63,00,20,00,25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,\

If you want to put it back to the original use this.

%SystemRoot%\system32\CompMgmtLauncher.exe

can you please explain this registry entry

[MrJinje]

can you please explain this registry entry

That GUID (really long number thingy) is the well known GUID of the My Computer Icon, so that's how I knew where to look.

The "Shell" section of each GUID controls what happens when you right click on each GUID's location (in this case the my computer icon). If you go into your regedit you will see all the things that appear on your right click menu.

The "Manage" is the actual text displayed in the right click menu. In case someone wanted to change it from Manage to something else.

Obviously the command is what explorer will run when you right click and select.
