I've got a machine where the HTM and HTML files have recently lost their associativity with Internet Explorer and open via Notepad instead. When trying to fix this, I notice that Internet Explorer does not show up in the "Open With" list.
I've looked at the HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.htm\OpenWithList key and it matches up fine with a different machine that works.
Any ideas how to get IE back in the "Open With" list?
Thanks,
DC

Try looking instead at the Classes Root directory.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.htm\OpenWithList
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.html\OpenWithList
Add IE if it is not already there.

hai friends,
in my room, due to lack of air flow, my system is getting heated up.
is this the only reason why my system is getting heated up?
because, when i run the task manager and see the performance, then it seems to be reasonable and hte processor is certainly not busy due to the daemons and back running programs,
kindly confirm my doubt.

If you over-clock your CPU heat would/could become an issue.

Hi
1st of al ur assumption is right.
But this can happn due to following.
This condition will arises if u have takem a very long time after u have last work on it.
Somtimes in very short time this may happen cause of computions and large amount of applications are running simuntaniously.
This can be reduce by external cooling(Air/Water[yes! It is also available and it is very efficient])
All the Best Mate.
Have a good Day

iam damn sure that, my system is not haveng any back running huge applications when it turned slow.
i confirmed the same from task manager.

The usual culprits for a suddenly slow system are a recently updated virus scanner, a virus, a bloated registry or a hardware problem. You can usually check if your system is clocking itself back to avoid overheating by looking in the BIOS after a reboot or with tools provided with the motherboard if you built the system yourself. The BIOs should at least should you the CPU temperature. If it's < 55 for an Intel or < 65 for an AMD then I'd be surprised to see any slow down at all. Much more likely a software/virus/OS problem.
Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

with reference to my previous post
"short cut way to switch between two IP addresses in a single system." (fifth one down from here),
jerry has suggested me to go for a batch file.
but i tried ipconfig from the command line and iam unable to change the ip address.
iam able to only see it here.
can anybody suggest some command through which i can change the ip address from command line.
thanks in advance.

this problem is solved by one of my colleagues using netsh command.
any more suggestions are welcome.
|
|
|
|

setting the ip address is ok.
but to set the preferred dns server and alternate dns server through netsh is not achieved.
any ideas?
|

Why don't you just set up two network connections on the same NIC, and then enable/disable them depending on which network you want to use? Two clicks to change connections, and they'll hold all the relevant IP/DNS information for you.

Open the Network Connections applet from within Control Panel. Click the "Create a new connection" button.

but i tried the same and could not establish a new conection.
the wizard is taing me through a couple of screens and on clicking finish, nothing happens.
i contacted my network administrator also, but he could not solve it.
remember that,
i have only on network card in my system.

however, i got the problem solved using netsh command in the batch files.
but here in netsh, i could not configure the alternate dns server.
any ideas

it will help you
netsh interface ipv4 add dnsserver name=""<id>" address=<dnsip>index=1

hi all,
i am facing this problem recently. I am using Windows XP Professional.after my machine is booted, the local area network alone takes time (say 10 min) to load(dont know a better word) to appear in the system tray. in that 10 mintues duration, i am not able to do work on any environment.
I am not able to open a word/excel/pdf documents.When i open Visual Studio and run any application, it says binding handle is invalid.
When i contacted my administrator, he says there is virus in the machine and has to be formatted.
But after that initial 10 mints(i mean after the local area network is loaded) i am able to continue working as usual and i have no problems.And i scanned my machine for viruses.it says no virus .
Could there be a possibility of spyware??
What could be the problem? has anyone faced this before?
I dont particularly like to format my machine.
Thanks in advance. 
Regards
Anuradha

It's probably not a virus or spyware. After you login, hit Ctrl-Shift-Esc to bring up Task Manager. Click on the Processes tab and see which process is taking up all the CPU's time.
We has an issue around here where it was a home-brewed AutoArchive app running out of the domain login script that hung the machine for about 10 minutes.

hi,
thanks for your reply. after logging in, i find that the explorer.exe,svchost.exe (i think its the antivirus software -macfee) are taking CPU time.
I am not aware of network administration.so i need advices on how i should proceed..
could it be a problem in the local network connection?
Any suggestions??
Also i have another question. if i uninstall macfee from my machine, will it affect .NET. i heard from many people that if i uninstall macfee, it removes some of the .net DLLs too!!!!!!

why dont you disable your LAN and then reboot.
when ever you want it then you can enable it and disable before shutting down.
|

When this happens again, open the TaskManager and get the ProcessId of the SVCHOST that's taking up the CPU time. Then open a CMD prompt and type (I'm assuming your using Windows XP):
tasklist /FI "PID eq ProcessId" /SVC
and hit Enter. This will tell you the names of all the services running in that service host process.

Since I don't use McAfee at all, I've got nothing to uninstall to test it. It SHOULDN'T cause a problem when uninstalled. If it removes some the .NET Framework stuff, all you have to do is reinstall the .NET Framework versions you're using.

How much ram do you have?
Do you have IE7 installed along with McAfee?
If your answer is yes to the second question and you have less than 1.5g of ram you may consider either rolling back IE7 and McAfree or increasing your ram to 2g.

as dave suggested, you can use task manager to see the performance of the system in the first 10 minutes.
no sooner you see your desktop, wake up the taskmanager,
and see the performance of the different processes in live,
then you can find some thing out there.

my network administrator has some thing to advice.
he says as follows.
1.go to safemode.(press F8 while booting up)
2.go to start>programs>accessories>systemtools>system restore.
3.select the date from which, you are facing the problem.
4.click restore.
i suggest that,
you perform this activity in the presence of your network administrator.
because,
he personally must have seen your problem, and apply his intellect based on this clue.
