Error while double click opened the Folder or Drives.
Applies to: Windows 7 operating system
Issue:
When opening a folder or drives using double click gives a program association error.
Folder are accessible using right click explore or right click open.
When right clicked for options in folders or drives, the primary command/program set to open drives or folder is “Explore”.
Files & application opens using double click open command/program
Resolution:
This above given issue happens because there is no primary command/program set to open drives or folder.
Since the files and applications opens directly by double click open command/program, there is some file association problem in executing the folder shell.
Two way of resolving the issue:
Type 1
Click on StartàRunàtype RegeditàEnter
You will gain access to registry editor.
Here navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTàFolderàshell
On the right panel or shell, you will find a string named “(Default)”
If the Data set in the (Default) string show “No/blank entry”
The Windows error "I/O Device Error" means there is an error in the computer's ability to read data when you try to install a program or to copy data from your CD or DVD drive.
This issue is likely to occur when Windows tries to use a transfer mode that your CD drive cannot use or does not recognize. To resolve this issue, you will need to change the transfer mode in your IDE channel properties.
Steps To Change IDE Properties
Click the Start button
Right click My Computer
Select Manage from the resulting menu
In the Computer Management window, select Device Manager
In the right pane, click to expand IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers
Identify your CD/DVD drive in the expanded menu and right click the appropriate drive
Select Properties
In the Properties windows, click the Advanced Settings tab
In the Transfer Mode box that represents your CD/DVD drive (typically Device 1); open the dropdown menu and select PIO Only
Click ok and exit all windows
If this does not resolve your issue, then you will need to go back using the above procedure and change the Device 1 in step #9 back to "DMA if available". Then, change Device 0 to "PIO Only" in the Transfer Mode box.
For reference, the Device 0 is the Primary IDE Channel and the Device 1 is the secondary IDE Channel.
After you change your settings, make sure you restart your system so that the computer recognizes the changes you have made. After you reboot, check the settings to make sure they are in effect. If they are, your device should now work properly.
This issue does not occur in Firefox 2 or below. Starting in Firefox 3, downloads of executable files (e.g., .exe or .msi) may fail and the Firefox Downloads window may contain this message, under the filename: This download has been blocked by your Security Zone Policy -
This issue occurs because Firefox now honors your Windows security settings for downloading applications and other potentially unsafe files from the Internet.
You can resolve this issue as follows:
Bypass Windows Security Policy check
Starting in Firefox 3.0.6 you can use about:config to manually add the new Boolean preference, browser.download.manager.skipWinSecurityPolicyChecks and set it to true. This will bypass the Security Zone Policy check.
This happens if the operating system is not installed properly or “winmgmt.exe, winmgmtr.dll & wmi.mfl” is missing or these files are damaged due to number of reasons.
Resolution
• Copy the winmgmt.exe, winmgmtr.dll & wmi.mfl from any PC with same operating system (with its service pack) and paste it in “C:\Windows\System32\Wbem”
• Now type the following command in CMD.
o Winmgmt/kill (To kill any windows management based application that is running)
o Winmgmt/clearadap (To clear the windows management adapter settings)
o Winmgmt/unregserver (To un-register the windows management components)
o Winmgmt/regserver (To register the windows management components)
• Now, open services.msc and start the service that is added.

Most of the Internet connectivity problems arise out of corrupt Winsock settings. Windows sockets settings may get corrupted due to the installation of a networking software, or perhaps due to Malware infestation. You will be able connect to the Internet, but the packets won't transfer back and forth. And errors such as Page cannot be displayed may occur when using Internet Explorer. This article lists the methods (with links to third-party websites) to reset/repair the Winsock configuration to defaults.
Windows XP Service Pack 2 - New Winsock NETSH commands
These Two new Netsh commands are available in Windows XP Service Pack 2.
1. netsh winsock reset catalog.
This command resets the Winsock catalog to the default configuration. This can be useful if a malformed LSP is installed that results in loss of network connectivity. While use of this command can restore network connectivity, it should be used with care because any previously-installed LSPs will need to be re-installed. The output results to this in Command Prompt (CMD.EXE) “netsh winsock reset”
2. netsh winsock show catalog.
This command displays the list of Winsock LSPs that are installed on the computer. The output results to a file type this in Command Prompt (CMD.EXE) “netsh winsock show catalog >D:\Winsock.txt”
There are also some Tools available to reset.
WinSock XP Fix offers a last resort if your Internet connectivity has been corrupted due to invalid or removed registry entries. It can often cure the problem of lost connections after the removal of Adware components or improper uninstall of firewall applications or other tools that modify the XP network and Winsock settings. If you encounter connection problems after removing network related software, Adware or after registry clean-up; and all other ways fail, then give WinSock XP Fix a try. It can create a registry backup of your current settings, so it is fairly safe to use. We actually tested it on a test machine that was having a Winsock problem due to some Adware removal, and after running the utility and rebooting, the connectivity was restored.
Pros: May save you hours of headaches; can fix tricky connection problems
Cons: Not actively supported or developed
Type: Freeware.
OS: Win XP

Information on How to Use the Group Policy Results (GPResult.exe) Command Line Tool:
Intended for administrators, the Group Policy Results (GPResult.exe) command line tool verifies all policy settings in effect for a specific user or computer. Administrators can run GPResult on any remote computer within their scope of management. By default, GPResult returns settings in effect on the computer on which GPResult is run.
Using GPResult Command Line Tool: Parameters: /s Computer Function: Specifies the name or IP address of a remote computer. (Do not use backslashes.) The default is the local computer. Parameters: /u Domain\User Function: Runs the command with the account permissions of the user that is specified by User or Domain\User. The default is the permissions of the current logged-on user on the computer that issues the command. Parameters: /p Password Function: Specifies the password of the user account that is specified in the /u parameter. Parameters: /user TargetUserName Function: Specifies the user name of the user whose RSOP data is to be displayed. Parameters: /scope {user|computer} Function: Displays either user or computer results. Valid values for the /scope parameter are user or computer. If you omit the /scope parameter, gpresult displays both user and computer settings. Parameters: /v Function: Specifies that the output display verbose policy information. Parameters: /z Function: Specifies that the output display all available information about Group Policy. Because this parameter produces more information than the /v parameter, redirect output to a text file when you use this parameter (for example, gpresult /z >policy.txt). Parameters: /? Function: Displays help at the command prompt.
Unregister DLL in Windows XP or Vista
Sometimes we need to unregister a dll file to troubleshoot a problem in Windows XP or Vista. Here’s how to do it:
From Start –> Run, type “cmd” then click on Open. (Where is RUN in Windows Vista?)
Type “regsvr32 /u filename.dll” where “filename” is the name of the file that you like to unregister.
Please keep in mind that this involves system modification and can be highly risky. It’s always recommended to keep a system backup handy, in case things go wrong.
By using the Windows Instrumentation command-line interface (WMIC), you can easily uninstall an application without having to use the GUI. Once you become familiar with the steps, it will be much faster than having to access the Add/Remove Programs applet in the Control Panel.

When you install Windows, you're prompted to enter a username and a company name. But since it's fairly common for companies to merge, you may want to change the name of the company Windows is registere to by using this hack:
Navigate through the Registry Editor to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion.
Change the values that are assigned to the RegisteredOwner and RegisteredOrganization keys to reflect the new ownership information.
One of the things about Vista that seems to irritate a lot of people is the User Account Control feature. In essence an administrator is treated as a standard user. Administrators who attempt to perform an administrative action receive a prompt asking whether they initiated the action. I think that this prompt is a valuable safeguard against malware, but since a lot of people don't like it, here's how to use the registry editor to suppress the prompt:
Navigate through the registry editor to: "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System".
Change the value of the "ConcentPromptBehaviorAdmin" key to "00000000".
