Yes David. Also, quoting the original QA would have helped.

What I noticed is he didn't even give a link to your site.
 
SPOKE TOO SOON!

Now none of my shortcuts will open. I get a grey box telling me "This file
does not have a program associated with it for performing this action.
Create an association in the Folder Options control panel."
 
The point we make is we don't know what you are talking about as you started a new thread.

Try typing

regsvr32 /i shdocvw
 
SPOKE TOO SOON!

This is a different issue. Registering the shell32 does not cause this
behavior. If the error occurs for all the shortcut files (.lnk), one of
these steps should help:

1. Type "cmd /c assoc .lnk=lnkfile" in Start/Run without quotes
2. As per David's post, register the Shdocvw.dll file.

-or-

3. Apply the the LNK association REG fix from the following site:

No access here, as usual :(
I can to buy a SET-TOP box, but the subscription is pricey.

His form has been poor. Flintoff has taken on the role of stock bowler instead of strike to cover for Kallis.

I just posted this to Raymond's suggestion box.

There are some problems, not that common, where cut and paste stop working. I thought about it and came to the conclusion that an app has opened but not closed the clipboard. So I wrote a program to examine the clipboard. I didn't know how to test it (I don't have that problem) so I wrote some programs to open and close the clipboard and confirmed that symptons people report match that of a locked clipboard (in notepad copy is available but does nothing and paste in not available).

If a invalid hwnd (and GetActiveWindow is invalid in this sense but not GetDesktopWindow() but this might be because I'm passing someone's else's hwnd) is passed to openclipboard() then any attempt by another program to open it will fail but will unlock the clipboard so a second call will work.

I have a sense and so do others that one frequently has to copy data twice.

Do you know anything about this?


* All references to lock is the state of the clipboard not memory lock functions a la 16 bit clipboard.

Also I asked Larry O via mail this

why are some stop codes in the form
0x1nnnnnnn which has the same meaning as 0x0nnnnnnn. Is this always true (not all stop codes are documented as I found yesterday).
But he, being a low level programmer, doesn't know what a stop code is. So I had to call it a BUG CHECK CODE (it's official name - stop is only in the UI).

Yesterday I found one of your suggestions in the list. Can't remember what you asked. Did it get answered?
 
Nice ones, especially the clipboard test. I came across this question many
times before, without a proper solution. Will see what Raymond has to say.
