Pro - Get The Folder File Path Sorted Out
Nov 29, 2008
I have a strange problem with my home-built PC;when I open "msconfig via the run box on H D "E",I try to set safe-mode boot option, but it shows the boot.ini file from my "C" H D , I have been using my "E" H D as my primary(because the "C" drive had been recently infected by trojans/malware,etc. making me have to do a "repair" install of Windows X P, I would like to know if anyone on this forum knows how to either use regedit to change H D "E" the file path file of "E" boot.ini file ,or any recommendations other than reinstall Windows XP w/SP 3?

when I start my ms outlook 2007 I get this error. "Errors have been detected in the file 'file_path'. Quit all mail-enabled applications, and then use the Inbox Repair Tool." I tried to scan with scanpst.exe but it went in vain.I tried it with other applications it worked fine.But,the problem is they all are demo versions and I gets back only 5 to 6 mails for more mails i have to buy that applications. Do we have any free tool that can fix my problem or any other way to fix this.

I was wondering if anyone knows the file path ( if there is one) that would let you open the recycle bin via task manager (new task run) under win2k pro? I just had a call from a friend who, after installing google tool bar (by "mistake" )then used the search function and removed all of the files by hand .The end result was that the pc hung, and when she restarted explorer.exe does not start,(therefore no desktop, start menu etc) task manager does however function and i have managed to get her to open programs that way As she deleted the files to the recycle bin i was wondering if there is a way to restore them by opening the recycle bin threw task manager? if there is then presumably i would need to give her the file path, and was wondering :-
A/ if it is possible to do this &
B/ (if it is) if any kind person knows the file path to the recycle bin .exe ? I realize that this might not be possible and it might seem a lot more involved than simply poping in the win2k CD and doing a repair on the OS, but having done this with her before i know it will mean spelling out every action.

I guess the question asks what I'd like to know. I'm trying to set up the programmable keys on my new keyboard and I'm supposed to type in the file paths.

I'm sure this has been asked and answered but I couldn't find it with a search so here goes again.Is there a way to change the file path for the desktop in Windows 2000 without a tweak tool? I'd prefer a simple registry edit if possible.I would like to store the files on my desktop to another partition than my default profile path under C:

I am helping a friend with a new GPS he bought. The configuration file wants to see a program located at the following place:
sdmmc66-con\maps
oute66.exe
I think the program is located in the maps folder. The problem, I think is with the \ in the syntax. How do I make the location agree with the \maps folder?

So I was trying to import an already existing project into my Eclipse workspace. It was taking WAY too long, so finally I canceled. I looked in the folder that it did import, only to find another identical folder. I opened that folder, only to find another identical folder. I opened that folder, only to find another identical folder . I have no idea how many folders it made, but I just want to get rid of them. So I found the folders in My Documents and tried to put them in the Recycle Bin,

I can't access Control Panel components anymore, such as Display, System, or User Accounts. Specifically, this error appears when attempting to open one of these: On some help forums rundll32 was pointed to as the cause of the problem, and I found entries in Comodo's Defense+ Log where various programs (mostly explorer.exe) were calling rundll32.exe, but it was being blocked everytime.I have tried disabling Comodo (and ending the proccess) but it doesn't make a difference.

I believe I have committed a fundamental eejit blunder. For reasons that are too complicated to explore here I cleaned my 140 gig Seagate C Drive (no, not that reason) with two wipes using the Kill Disk programme. I then re-installed XP Pro which also includes a formatting phase. All appeared well as I installed AVG anti-virus, Zone Alarm Pro, and Ad Aware; I then loaded Picasa, Adobe and all the bits and pieces that make for fun and utility.

My 2nd drive isn't allowing me to delete any files from it. when i try i get an error that reads "error deleting file cannot find specified path". this started occurring when the wires on the drive came loose causing the drive to intermittently lose power. i fixed that and now i'm screwed.what i've done: i tried deleting from safe mode and that didn't work. i checked all the wires on my drives and they are fine now. i got a program called "moveonboot" that deleted a few files, but i want to fix the problem, not find a way around it.

I need to backup my PC, but the backup wizard gives the following message when I choose my DVDR drive as the destination: The backup file name could not be used "E:mybackup.bkf". Please be sure it is a valid path and that you have sufficient access.

I have folders on a USB stick, which I ahve tried deleting in the past. Now inside each folder is one file titled U¬U¬SWIN.4.1 - 0KB each. When i click on delete an error message appears saying: "Cannot delete U¬U¬SWIN.4: Cannot find the specified file. Make sure you specify the correct path and file name." I can still add files to the USB, but I it looks like it's full with folders and looks messy. It's just really annoying.

After installing the Japanese language pack in XP, the file path / delimiter has been replaced by the yen sign. I have uninstalled the language pack but the problem persists. All new file paths now look like this -- C:Documents and SettingsJoe BloggsDesktop. And the / key still produces /, so it's not just a key substitution. XP SP 2 fully updated.

I havent a clue what to do. Im not a beginner in these matters but Im not very technical so please keep it simple in any explanation or instructions

My 'restore' has completely disappeared. I followed the advice given on in one of your forums, going to start/run/inf and then right clicking sr.inf and then install. I received a pop-up box asking for the file path (a path is already given, but it must not be correct) as well as a message stating I need to insert my xp service pack two cd and that I should then reboot. I did this, but I still receive the same pop-up and message. I don't know what path to type and obviously, when I rebooted, I didn't install anything. I tried to figure out how to extract just what I needed from the cd but I admit it, I'm a deer in the headlights.

I downloaded "RegSeeker" and ran it to see what was up with it. Using the'Clean the registry" tab,I was very surprised to find over 700 questionable entries, most of which were "File or Path does not exist" and " Invalid ActiveX/Com entry (CLSID)".

I'm played with the folder options over and over and for some reason ever though I have clicked open folder in same window and "launch folder window in a separate process" is NOT clicked, for some reason when I double click to open a folder it still opens it with a new window. Also, under file types it won't let me edit or remove the commands for folder, drive, and file folder.

i went to tools---->folder options----->file types----->[NONE]file folder------advanced
i then bolded "enqueue in winamp" and clicked "set default" then clicked ok.
every file folder i click on, the default action is enqueue in winamp.i was having a problem with my right click context menu and winamp wasnt an option(i uninstalled winamp,reinstalled,went into options,everything to no avail).SO i thought this may do the trick in adding it to my right click options.
How i can change this back to the default norm of clicking on the file folder and entering to see its contents

Like I said in the title. In one of my folders, (and only that particular one), all file and folder names are missing. I don't know if it's a design feature or a bug, but I really want those names back. Can it be caused by malware?

I got a file in a folder that I can't delete. When I try to do that always got the message that the file is in use. I already restarted the pc but it keeps saying the same thing. The file is not a system file, it's a normal user file.

I've got this problem. It's a little problem, but quite annoying. It's only present on one of my 3 PC's. The problem exists on a new Toshiba laptop that I recently bought.It's XP home, and I put SP2 on it. Here's a description of the problem: Let's say that I've got an IE website open, and I want to delete a file. I right click on the file, and then click delete, and everything's fine. I get the little window that says "do you want to delete this file", and, as I move my pointer to click OK, as soon as the pointer gets into the desktop area, the delete window disappears. In order to keep it "on top", I've gotta close out or minimize the IE window. It's the same no matter what file or folder I open. As soon as the pointer enters the desktop, the file or folder disappears. It won't stay "on top". I've tried to find a way to keep the current file/folder "on top", but haven't found one.
