Adjusting The Options To Open VBS Files In Script Hosting?
Oct 2, 2008
I'm trying to install Nuance DNS 10 Pro in two of my XP machines. Nuance has a problem on the install disk with the Visual C++ install required to permit the full program install. Nuance requires download of a fix zip file wihich unzips to several VBS files. On one of my computers, the file options is set to open VBSScript files with Microsoft Based Script Hosting so the VBS file opened OK.On my other XP computer
the file options did not offer the Script Hosting as a choice of a program to open VBS files--only Notepad which is worthless for these files how to get XP adjusted to open VBS files in the Script Hosting vs Notepad when Script Hosting is not offered as one of the program choices in the listing for programs with which to open various types of files? I have SP2 in which a file search identfies the wscript.exe file as present

A couple days ago, seemingly on its own, an instance of svchost.exe started preventing me from browsing. Doesnt matter what browser, ive tried IE, IE 7, FireFox, Firefox 2.
I've tried downloading processexplorer, and ending each individual process running inside this problematic svchost.exe tree. Still doesnt let me browse. I get the good old "Cannot locate page" error in IE, and in Firefox, the progress bar down the bottom loads, and I just get a blank white page, even though it says 'done'. However, as soon as I end this particular svchost.exe process, everything works fine. Even though its not hosting any processes.

Internet Options won't open in Windows Xp Pro Sp3 from Control Panel or anywhere else. I have checked SYSTEM32 and there is inetcpl (control panel extension file) and inetcplc.dll. I have tried opening Internet Options in Run, no luck. I have also run a VB script written by someone on the web to Remove Internet Restriction. Didn't work.Here is the error message I get when trying to open Internet Options from within Internet Explorer 8 (I usually use Firefox BTW, the latest, and this update was two days ago.

When I go to my documents and open the folders, they always open in the list view. I would like to have them open all the time with thumbnail view.I change the view when the folders are open, but they always revert back to details when I go to them again. Can it be changed permanently?

changing some icons last night and managed to mess up somewhere. When i went to folder options to try and change the icon for drives it somehow reset the setting for opening drives to find. I changed it to open with windows explorer for now so that i can open things but this doesnt help as they all open in new windows. Does anyone know how to reset this action to default? I checked on my other comp and there doesnt appear to normally be a default option it just opens.

My keyboard is set to the US setting and I am from the UK so I want to change this but when I go into the control panel and double click on the regional and language options the sand timer comes up for around two seconds then it turns back to the normal pointer and nothing else happens and the window has not opened. Although this may not seem a big problem it is extremely annoying to have to use a US keyboard setting with a UK keyboard.My other problem is that when I try to install the Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 2.0 (KB917283) the update process runs for a while and it eventually says that the installation has failed. All other updates are being installed successfully but this one continues to fail no matter how many times I try to install it and restart the computer etc.

I'm trying to set a default view for Windows Explorer but everytime I make my changes Windows doesn't seem to save the settings. I would like Windows Explorer to open with the Explorer Bar on the left with Folder view as the default. I've tried saving the view under options but this doesn't seem to work. If I close Windows Explorer it just goes back to the default view before I made my changes. Also is there a way to have Windows Explorer default to a certain directory?

When I attempt to open internet options the window flashes open and closed. If you blink you miss it. If I click on " Delete Browsing History" nothing happens. Everything else seems to be working. I have Zone Alarm running for virus, spyware, firewall. I scanned with Spybot and SAS.

For the past two weeks, when I start or restart my Dell Dimension 8250 running Windows XP Home Edition, it passes through a blue page with a Windows label that says: "Checking the file system on C; The type of file is NTFS; Cannot open volume for direct access; Windows has finished checking the disk." Otherwise the computer seems to start up normally and operate as usual. Something has changed and I don't know what the problem may be.

Not sure how this file got here. Probably from downloading crap on Limewire. I came across a file in one of my folders that i tried to delete, but nothing happened. Theres no error message at all. It just doesn't delete or do anything. When i try to rename it it does nothing. When i try to move it it does nothing. I'm stumped. Also, when you right-click the file, there is no properties option. I tried one of those move on boot programs to delete it, but when i drag the file into the deleter box, it says the file cannot be found. I think i may have caught a virus.

Hi, I am having a weird problem. I cannot change what programs I use by defualt to open windows files. It does not matter whether I right click on a certain file and choose open with or if I use the tools option in the folder menu. This is what happens. I want to open a .jpg file with picassa photo viewer. I right click the .jpg file and choose open with. I then click browse to locate the .exe file that will open it. Well once I click it I get sent back to the open with window and nothing has changed. The .jpg file will not open with any program that can open it and it will not add the .exe file into the window. This is a bit frustrating as I cannot change what opens certain windows files by default. This goes for any type of file I try to open with any program.

When i double click on a folder to open it, or single click of the start menu, it brings up a search, rather than the contents of the folder. How do i change it back so that just by clicking or double clicking opens the folder rather than bringing up the search window?

Sometime over the past couple of weeks, I started having a number of files on my C:/ drive which would not open. I wrote another forum and got some advice, and did some studying, and for some I was able to take back permissions and found what looked like a phony user account hidden way down in Documents and Settings.
Today I found close to 2/3 of my files would not display, of the types, htm and html, jpg, png, and doc files. I went to check permissions and the security tab was not under Properties.
I have tried everything: I have re-installed Windows, I have run every virus and adware and spyware scan and repair known, and have constantly cleaned the registry and used HiJack this which did show two programs called Voodoo and Banshee which were not mine.
