Trying to set a new drive letter for your virual drive and this error shows up?

1. Control Panel >> Device Manager
2. The drive will be under other devices
3. Right mouseclick on the drive >> Update driver software
4. Point to C:\Windows\System32

And you driver for your virtual drive will install and now its possible to set new drive letter

If you have security patch 896358 installed or you have Windows 2003 SP1 it is possible that you cannot view .chm files on a remote share.

To fix it you should make a .reg file with the following content:

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\ItssRestrictions]
“MaxAllowedZone”=dword:00000002

Run it and viola you should see your content again from a remote share.

I discovered on unusual bug/feature in Vista.
Most of the times it is not possible to “select all” (CTRL+A, etc etc) the files or folders in some directories. Which makes copying a royal pain in the PEEP.

Some other symptoms are:

• Select All option in Edit menu is disabled (greyed-out)
• Mouse highlight over and drag does not work.

Of course I searched the internet looking for people that were having the same problem. There were some suggestions to do a Reset on the folders but that didn’t work for me.

Then I found someone that made a modification to the registry which works.

1. Open Regedit
2. Navigate to HKCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\
3. Delete the Bags & BagMRU keys

Windows Explorer should be its normal self again.

Hope this helps.

Today there where 2 words on the Vistablog. “It’s Time”.
Do I need to say more?
