Answer» here's my problem it's just an image thank you all in advancemore details?Printer ? ? USB card READER ? ? Camera ? ? If so uninstall these devices and re-install them as it's probably just a corrupt driver...Quote from: patio on January 18, 2009, 07:07:05 AM Printer ? ? Actually, it's just the win live 8.5 sharing folders ..and i updated to win live 2009 and this is what i ended up with ...i think the trick is to know which part of the registry holds the "other" section of "my computer" it's a was a pure uninstall for 8.5 then installed 2009 Quote from: amz_raptor on January 18, 2009, 07:30:33 AM i think the trick is to know which part of the registry holds the "other" section of "my computer" it's a was a pure uninstall for 8.5 then installed 2009 Actually... no... You would have to find out which IShellFolder Implementation is adding that object to the shell namespace, retrieve the CLSID of that object, do a reverse lookup in the registry for the InprocServer32 that instantiates it, and then all you've done is determined what is creating it. It does sound LIKE a missing DLL still listed as a Component Category for Shell Extensions... Alright... It is a shell extension that Windows Live Installs. Try this- you'll need to locate the extensions file. On my computer it is: "C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\fsshext.8.1.0178.00.dll" (I'm using Messenger 8.1). the "fsshext" part will likely be the same on your version; if there is more then one, you should probably try this with all of them... once you've found this file- you need to unregister it: create a new Command Prompt window- Start->Run (SEARCH) cmd replace the file with the path/filename of the fsshext file you found in the following command: Code: [Select]regsvr32 -u "C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\fsshext.8.1.0178.00.dll" a confirmation dialog should appear. If you don't want a new Sharing folder appearing after you REBOOT from the latest version, you can rename the latest numbered version you find to another name- when I need to do something of the sort, I just tack ".old" to the end of the name. You will likely need to reboot for the icon to disappear now. I hope this works for you.thanks BC_Programmer that did the trick it was just a 8.5 instead of 8.1 and the icon became a "deletable shortcut actually" so i PRESSED delete key and YES and it was gone for good. good to hear! come back anytime! Nice job, BC I'm always up to a challenge of this sort. Gives me an excuse to use process explorer to see what Explorer loaded as an extensions... then some "simple" monitoring of the thread stacks when I clicked on my web folders icon... and there it was, the dll file that needed to be unregistered Elementary, my dear watson... |
