Recover Administrative Tools Default Services (local) Settings
Aug 24, 2009
Re: Vista Ultimate 64-bit I changed settings for several Services - disabling some - etc & made some trouble for myself.I did find some tech web pages that suggested how to edit/make large scale register changes - sounded risky.Can I return all the Vista/Administrative Tools/ Services back to their default settings - within Windows Vista - without having to reinstall or make other drastic choices? I do have backups but failed to note the dates of changes I made to the settings.

I have had this problem for a now while. As you see in the title an instance of svchost.exe always using about 70,000 K (right now another using 88,000 K) in task manager and I would like to know why and if I can bring that number down. If I right click it and click go to Services, the following are shown:........
Disabling Windows Update in Administrative Tools Services does nothing. I have 2 GB RAM also.

I've tried some methods already and still unable to use "Computer Management". I've tried having my computer in safe mode. I've tried going to cmd and net user administrator /active:yes and tried to access "Computer Management" I've switch on and off UAC. Note* I am logged on as the administrator. I am using Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit What can I do to access the Administrative Tools?

Today I found that the Administrative Tools folder items are missing. This has happened before but can't remember how to fix it. Also when I attempt to merge a .reg file back into the registry the file simply opens with notepad for editing?

I have a sound trigger for the 'Open program' event in Vista Basic sp2 x32 When my computer is idle and I "here" a program open the only thing I have to go by is the time it occurred. If I want to go to Event Viewer in Administrative Tools and see what this event was that triggered the event sound I'm overwhelmed with a bunch of categories and sub-categories. In order to find what opened at the specific time I need to check each category and sub-category. That is a real pain in the ass. I find no search capabilities in Event Viewer unless I've missed it. Is there some way of making a hunt for a specific time easier in Event Viewer? Or, is there some 3rd party software with the capability to sort all events by data and time??

With the release of Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista SP1 Microsoft removed the old management tools that shipped with RTM Vista. When you install Windows Vista SP1 you will notice that the Group Policy Management Client (GPMC.msc) and other features are no longer available. They have been uninstalled from your system.
Microsoft replaced the old uitilities with updated version in the Remote Server ...

I don't know what the Folder or File names are for my Local Folders in Vista Mail.
My old HD began making noises so I bought a new 750KB FireAgent last week,
(ST307504FPA1E3-RK), and Backed it up immediately, before Dell replaced it.
I had my HD set with 4 partitions and Backed them up individually: C-OS & important
programs, D-Vista's Recovery, E-non-critical programs , F-Data.
There were other problems in the C: OS drive so I could not just restore it as I had to use the Dell reinstallation CD.
I have restored most folders and files, BUT my Vista Mail "Local Folders" with all the subfolders and messages did not restore. If I look in I:/backup/CarlP,
I can see C, D, E, F. But, I don't know what I'm looking for, don't know what they would be called, where they are, and how to get them back. It's imperative that I DO restore the information stored in the messages.

i used advanced vista optimiser to give my laptop a good clean out as i do every week. but this time when i went to log on the diagnostic comes and says either change proxy settings or try resetting local connection setting. i tried resetting many a time which as done no good. web address bar states where its going but the diag box comes on again.so in the mean time while this is all going on a new tab keeps on opening by its self and saying the same thing,this started to happen before i cleaned my l.p but it was just redirecting to a blank page.
that is why i did the clean.anyhow resetting the lan did not work so i reset the internet expolorer in the tools on the bar. which as worked but the same thing is still happening with the tab ,but now its redirecting to all the freebiee sites and it will not stop. i have spyware-adware-trojan software on my l.p and still no good it did pick up 3 infections which it sorted out, its driving me f*&^%*ng nuts:mad::mad:

It use to be when I would open something it would put icons on the task bar on the right hand side. It would only show two at a time and you could Click the arrow to scroll through. All of a sudden it stopped doing that and it adds them on the left and shows all the programs. Any ideas how to get it back?

Is there any way possible to configure Vista and Windows Explorer to display the entire directory and/or filenames when Explorer is being used? Constantly resizing the display of the contents of Windows Explorer has always been a PITA. Especially in Vista

I want it to default sort by name and not size and I want it that way for all folders I open. I find that some apps use the windows protocol and it is annoying having to change it there too. I was able to do it in XP and 2000 but it is not as intuitive in Vista.I want it to sort by name and I would like some other view tabs instead of what's displayed. I know how to do that by adding sort (tabs) by right clicking but how do I make it universal and how do I make it stay that way?

I recently messed up real bad. I was playing Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 for PC. And I went into the documents folder to try to delete the last saved game. When I did I made a mistake and changed the folder with a GCF file in it to open the GCF files with adobe reader. Now I can't figure out what program it originally was suppose to open with. So my question is: How do I change the GCF file folder back to it's default settings so it will open with the program that it's suppose to open with?

I have purchased a Windows Vista license a short time ago and I have some difficulties with the folder option of remembering each folder settings. I have unset this option but Windows Vista still continues remembering the situation I leave each folder. What I would like is that all the folders were always initialized to a default, even a default for each kind of folder (I just wouldn't like Windows to store individual data for each folder).

My windows didn't logon after the following: checkdisk for inconsistency, followed by the message: "the security settings changed to default for file ___(counting)" <cannot remember exactly the words>. all this in blank screen, win vista logo.
battery emptied so the operation could not be copleted.
After restart, the computer entered the win vista logo, green brick running, then blank screen with mouse pointer, HDD working for 20-30 seconds, then NOTHING. I have tried, restore (from the installation disk) and Last good known configuration. I tried safe Mode, but still nothing.

While trying to install Realplayer 11 gold I keep getting an error message saying that I do not have administrative rights to the register, install canceled. I am the administrator of my PC, I right-clicked and hit 'run as administrator', checked all of my 'permissions', even created a new user id with admin rights! Used the 'take over' program available from vista and now I'm at a loss.

I installed vista ultimate x64 on my PC. After a while, I ran into some programs that requested I run them on the Administrator account. Not wanting to have to right-click and select the option every-time I installed something, I decided to enable the Administrator account with the command I found on the net, namely net user administrator /active:yes Restart, log into Administrator account, all is well. Naturally, not wanting to re-install all the programs, I simply copied the AppData, Documents and Desktop folders from the previous account over the ones in the Administrator account. All is well. I want to install a program and I receive the error message that I, the f-ing Administrator, don't have the privileges to install the program to it's pre-specified directory. So I go to the ProgramData folder (that's where most programs go) and check the Security properties. Administrators and System accounts have full permision enabled in every single sub-section of the option.

I am running on windows Vista (32bit). I don't think any other specs are really necessary, but I can provide them if they are needed. Basically, I am having a lot of problems all through out my computer, all coming down to the issue of not being the administrator, or having administrator privileges. When I go into Control Panel > User Accounts, it shows me (The only account) as Administrator. However, I am not being recognized as it.
I've been trying to uninstall an old version of Microsoft Office. When I access it via Control Panel > Programs & Features and go to uninstall, it gives me the error "You do not have sufficient access to uninstall Microsoft Office. Please contact your system administrator."
Also, I have an external hard drive full of files that I would love to be able to organize (Moving and deleting files) and anytime I try to move or delete any files I get the error "You'll need to provide administrator permission to move this folder". It gives me two options of "Continue" or "Skip", both of which close out of the window and do nothing. How can I take control of my own computer? I am sick of this

Lately I bought a new nice laptop with a strong cpu and lots of ram. The reason was, that a wanted to use it for both gaming, programming, designing and recording music.
This other day, I finaly had enough saved up for buying the M-Box 2 with Pro Tools software. At this point, I realised, for my big dissapointment and confusement, that it wasn't supported for my Vista system?
I learned, that Digidesign doesn't support Vista Home Basic, and overall doens't support 64 bit systems!? Ok, maybe this is Digidesign's problem, but then again - if I had known this before I bought my laptop, I would surely have bought a mac instead, so at that time it gets your problem.
My question is therefore: Why is M-Box 2 and Pro Tools not supported for x64 Vista systems, and why only a couple of x32 systems? This is simply not good enough, and I really must underline my dissapointment in this case.

I was looking for the snipping tool but it was gone, so I went to turn windows features on/off and the box was checked for tablet features. So I unchecked it and rebooted, went back to turn on features and rechecked it and rebooted again. Still the folder for tablet tools including the snipping tool is empty.
