Apps / Software :: How To Set Location / City In Weather App Via Registry

Dec 9, 2013

We are deploying several hundred win 8.1 enterprise tablets and I'd like to set the default location to our local city when users first sign in. I can't find any information on the internet about how to do this programmaticly or via the registry (or even better via group policy)

Where the weather app location / city data is stored in the registry or in an ini file or something somewhere that I can modify via a script?

Apps / Software :: Cannot Turn On Live Tile For Weather App

Aug 11, 2013

I can't seem to turn on live tile for my weather app. When I right click on it, there is no option at the bottom of the screen to turn it on.

Compared to the photos app, it is currently running live tile by default, and when I right click on it, I can toggle live tile on and off.

Is there something special I need to do with the weather app to activate live tile?

Apps / Software :: App Takes To Wrong Website Location?

Oct 1, 2013

I just got a Surface Pro with Windows 8. My first exposure to both. I am involved in genealogy so I download the app for Ancestry.com. My subscription is worldwide so when I click on the icon on my other computer with Windows 7 it takes me to the Ancestry.com webpage. But when I click on the APP on Windows 8 it takes me to Ancestry.ca (the Canada site) not .com. I checked my Region setting as per a post I found and made sure it is set to United States instead of Canada but that made no difference.

Apps / Software :: Set Compatibility On Exe File Regardless Of File Location

Jun 3, 2013

I have an issue running a program that is contained in a self extracting zip that is supposed to run automatically.

The SFX files unzips the contents to a folder on my hard disk (no problem), but then tries to run another program (installer.exe) that is located in the extracted folder.

The program fromm inside the SFX runs fine if I set the compatibility to XP manually, but the problem is that the the SFX extracts the files to a different location each time it is run.

Is there a global way to make a program (installer.exe) run in compatibility mode wherever it exists?

Win 8.1 Weather App Immersive Shell DCOM Error

Sep 15, 2013

I did a clean install of 8.1 RTM yesterday and have a problem with Weather App. About 20x per second I get error id 10016 when I launch the app. It seems to be saying that my user does not have rights to launch "Immersive Shell" local server. From what I can see however this is picked up from defaults which do allow launch.

I've not changed any permissions as I don't really understand DCOM but do these setting look correct?

Except, on the Start Screen, although all the other apps show live tiles, the Weather app does not, showing only a plain blue background with the word "Weather" on it. The live tile feature is definitely turned on for this app.

Windows 8.1 Registry - HKLM Is Not Always The Same

Mar 12, 2014

New laptop which was recently upgraded from Windows 8 to 8.1

One issue might involve a registry edit so I began to look in the registry but I've noticed something odd when I run regedit. Each time I run it, what appears under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (HKLM) is not always the same. (I was looking for Components under HKLM). Here's an example running it 10 times.

I run regedit and under HKLM see 7 entries

BCD00000000
Drivers
Hardware
Sam
Security
Software
System

Then I exit regedit (without making any changes) and run it again and see that Drivers has disappeared leaving the other 6 entries. Exit and run again I see the same 6 entries. I repeat the exit and run again process seeing the same 6 entries each time, but on the 7th run, Drivers reappears giving 7 entries again. On the next run a new entry, Components appears (between BCD00000000 and Drivers) giving 8 entries. Exit and run again, same 8 entries but then on the next run Drivers and Components both disappear leaving the other 6 entries.

I just run another 10 times or so and each time has 6 entries (no Drivers or Components)

Sep 7, 2013

For example there is:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftABCEFG]
"HIJ"=hex(7):25,00,77,00,69,00,6E,00,64,00,69,00,72,00,

2E,00,6D,00,6F,00,66,00,00,00,00,00

And I want append (without overwritting) there more data (green below) and remove some data (red above) to have:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftABCEFG]

6F,00,66,00,00,00,00,00

Is it possible by some batch, script, command line...? (Please note, that two 0 values in red has to be deleted from the original string 1st.)

Does Windows 8 Automatically Backup Registry

Jan 5, 2013

I am seeing some vague references to older Windows versions automatically backing up the registry at startup and saving the backup in some folder..

Any definite information about this in Windows 8, and where any such backups can be found? How and when is the Windows Registry backed up in Windows 8?

If Windows doesn't do it, could you recommend a tool that can do it in the background on a regular basis? I really don't trust myself with this anymore....

Registry Search Error Code 2

Jul 24, 2014

When I do a search of the registry, I get the following errors:

Failed to open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClassesWow6432Nodeigfxdv32.CUIDriver while searching the Registry on Local Computer, Windows reported error code 2.

Registry Search Error. Failed to open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClassesWow6432Nodeigfxdv32.CUIDriver.1 while searching the Registry on Local Computer, Windows reported error code 2.

[Code] .....

If I try to delete or modify any of these entries, they cannot be accessed through regedit but are available to PsExec.exe from System Internals. I haven't tried deleting these entries for obvious reasons since I do not know if they are essential or not.

Registry Corrupt - How To Repair Win 8 From Boot

Sep 15, 2014

I have messed up my computer I need to work on! Basically, I had a freeven pro virus which I have identified by some malware software and I have deleted the registry folders where my several viruses were located. In the process I also I disabled the SYSTEM to control my account (task manager?).

The effect is that the computer at start up shows weird signs instead of English (so I can't even identify troubleshoot- but by now I've tested all options anyways and there is no reaction) but also doesn't want to log in.

The windows key is on the system of the computer (how smart) and I have no access to original cd as im away. Can I automatically repair it somehow from boot or how do i put a windows on usb to repair the computer from it?

Customizing Shortcuts By Modifying Registry

Sep 15, 2014

I read in another forum that you can stop Windows from adding "- Shortcut" to shortcuts by modifying the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerlink

To do so, you have to change the binary data from 1e 00 00 00 to 00 00 00 00.

I did this and it works great. I want to go a bit further, however.

Whenever I create shortcuts to files that have an extension (e.g. .txt) the shortcut ends up having the file extension as well.

I was wondering, is there any way to modify the same registry setting (or some other one) to also remove the extension for shortcuts?

Is there any way I can find out how to interpret registry binary data so I know what to change? How can I find out what each bit does?
