windows explorer file man won't shut down
Hi folks
Trying to shut down my Windows Explorer file manager by any means I know fails and results in this message: __________ restrictions | ---------------- |--------------------- This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator --------------------------------------- ctrl+alt+ del shutdown WE = same message. Then the "prog not responding box Click shutdown = WE shuts down All sys tray items deleted ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? This happened mid session and so far as I know, I didn't do a thing to cause it. The error message doesn't quite ring true to me (as a genuine MS message) MS's language skills are usually clumsier. Other file manager works OK still. So far as I can see, all other progs work OK This is a first for me in all 12 yrs I've been using win 98 ============================== Machine info Operating System Microsoft Windows 98 OS Service Pack - DirectX 4.09.00.0904 (DirectX 9.0c) Computer Name TOSHIBA User Name User Motherboard CPU Type Mobile Intel Pentium II PE, 400 MHz (6 x 67) Motherboard Name Unknown Motherboard Chipset Intel 82440BX/ZX System Memory 256 MB (SDRAM) BIOS Type Toshiba (12/31/99) =========================== Hope someone can help me on this. yours douglas |

oups.com: Just a guess, I've only had one virus problem in 20 years, but it sounds like an infection. You could put the drive into another machine and scan /your/ drive's OS partition using that machine's AV program. If you have no access to another machine, or can't get into Windows without this happening, get a DOS virus scanner (ESET has a DOS version). It /might/ tell you something. Most current AV programs only run on XP and up. You might consider doing a dual-install of XP along with 98. I have this, and use it VERY infrequently, but it comes in handy for a couple of programs/hardware incompatible with 9x. |

In that KB, the problem is encounted on a system running Office XP. The solution is to obtain a new version of MSo.dll. The "cause" - as described in that KB - is not really a cause but rather is a description of an alternate symptom or condition, which is: =========== This problem may occur when you apply the Only run allowed Windows Applications (RestrictRun) system policy on a Microsoft Windows 98-based computer or a Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition-based computer. =========== Unless there's something I'm missing here - can you run Office XP on win-98? On a win-98 system with Office 2000, there is no "mso.dll" file. |

windows explorer file man won't shut down
Thanks guys, registry won't allow that particular adjustment.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\. html there is no entry for html Can someone guide me through CREATING such an entry? I made IE default browser like jo suggested. NOW I can't reverse it. AND now both Win Expl and Int Expl BOTH give me the fkng message. And yes I googled it..... This is definitly a hack. Not a malicious one, but irritating as hell. WTF did it come from? 1/ I NEVER open IExpl, just use the .dll's etc. No prob. 2/ WExpl is convenient, that's all. I regularly use XYplorer which is much more versatile. The way I have it set up though it's heavy duty. So I liked WE as a quick and dirty look and see. Stuff works just fine... BUT someone stuck a stick in my spokes and I'm ****ed. When it comes right down to it I resent having my habits manipulated by some bozo, who may very well evceed my level of understanding in these matters, but who nevertheless has generated a certain ENMITY. douglas USMCR 1964 98 Guy wrote: Buffalo wrote: Check out this one also, (by the Cause header). http://support.microsoft.com/kb/325478 Yea, I came across that one too.

oups.com: I made IE default browser like jo suggested. VERY bad move. You should NEVER use IE. NEVER. N E V E R. NOW I can't reverse it. Of course not. Just like when you get cholera it's not easy to get rid of it. AND now both Win Expl and Int Expl BOTH give me the fkng message. And yes I googled it..... This is definitly a hack. Not a malicious one, but irritating as hell. WTF did it come from? You'll never know. Just be glad it's not worse. 1/ I NEVER open IExpl, just use the .dll's etc. No prob. Ya think? ;-} 2/ WExpl is convenient, that's all. I regularly use XYplorer which is much more versatile. The way I have it set up though it's heavy duty. So I liked WE as a quick and dirty look and see. XY looks pretty good, but judging by the screenshots, it does too many things a file manager does not need to do, and possibly does NOT do SOME things it SHOULD. I bought and use Total Commander - I can't remember the last time I used WE. It is totally useless. I have this saved to paste when appropriate: Windows Explorer is NOT a file manager. It is a torture device whose primary function is to prevent a new computer user from understanding the basic principles of file and directory organization, to keep him/her as ignorant as possible, and to allow only the most basic of functions, the execution of which is designed to be as troublesome as possible. Stuff works just fine... BUT someone stuck a stick in my spokes and I'm ****ed. Doesn't sound like "stuff works just fine". snip Check out this one also, (by the Cause header). http://support.microsoft.com/kb/325478 Yea, I came across that one too. But it doesn't make sense. It's from the MS KB, why should it make sense? No one at MS (or anywhere else) understands /everything/ that happens in Windows. snip This problem may occur when you apply the Only run allowed Windows Applications (RestrictRun) system policy on a Microsoft Windows 98-based computer or a Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition-based computer. =========== Unless there's something I'm missing here - can you run Office XP on win-98? Oh, yes, you can even run Office 2010 on Win95! [sigh] On a win-98 system with Office 2000, there is no "mso.dll" file. I suggest you get rid of Office and use one of several alternatives. About 5% of people who have ANY version of Office installed use it for less than can be achieved with WordPad and a free or $20 small spreadsheet program. There are also alternatives to Powerpoint, and if you tell me you actually use Access, I will not believe you. Now, AFA Internet Explorer. I see you use K-Meleon. I tried it, but dumped it, just like I dumped Firefox, the most overrated piece of software after Photoshop. Many people DO like Firefox, but I believe the best one is Opera. It appears most people are not smart enough to either understand that, or to take the time to learn how to use it. I use the Opera10usb version, modified (with Opera's permission) by a nice person named Obermair Markus. It is designed to run off a USB drive without installation, but I have it installed normally on my HD and it rocks. Apparently later versions do not work on 98 systems, but there is very little reason to get the latest version of ANYTHING except your A-V program signature file. I still use many programs from 10 years ago (and earlier) and I would not switch for anything. Unless you are heavily into Flash and javascript (and some important sites you may need to visit DO require them, like your bank), you might want to try the smallest, fastest, and 100% safe browser which almost no one knows about - it is not even mentioned in Wikipedia's list of browsers (I guess if you can't Facebook or watch YouTube on it, it's just worthless). http://offbyone.com You're welcome. |

Check out this one also, (by the Cause header). http://support.microsoft.com/kb/325478 RIGHT and be subjected to this ****e: When this system policy is enabled, users can run only applications listed in the value data field of a particular registry key. Applications that can run and start other applications are also restricted to the applications that appear in this value data field. Then of course they never ID the reg Key. DUH Nice your satisfied with wordpad, me I NEVER use MS prods if I can help it. I use Textmaker. They are krauts though. a free or $20 small spreadsheet program. Me, I use QubeCalc ver 3.01 (c) FormalSoft 1986, Sandy, Utah. YUP, DOS still works fine. And no, no one has come up with an alternative cubical spreadsheet that comes close yet. I see you use K-Meleon. I tried it, but dumped it, just like I dumped Firefox, the most overrated piece of software after Photoshop. Many people DO like Firefox, but I believe the best one is Opera. It appears most people are not smart enough to either understand that, or to take the time to learn how to use it. You mean you reject the svelt sleek lines of Off by One, you CAD. But then, clearly you ARE both smart enough to understand that OperaRules, AND willing to put in the enormous amount of time required to fully MASTER opera 10. A masterpiece of code writing so great in size and force and sheer extent as to elicit awe. Few would dare make your claims , certainly not with such self effacing candor, such appealing modesty. I use the Opera10usb version, modified (with Opera's permission) How did you rate Operas permission? You speak Scandihooverian? Unless you are heavily into Flash and javascript Just WTF do you think I use K-Meleon? You're welcome. Well you are welcome too, and thanks for the opratoonity to have so much fun. Get my mind off my problem. WHICH by the way, you haven't done a fng thing to help me solve. \ / (OO) \/ / / OO_______DOUGLAS The flying spaghetti monster horny ASCII hoot owl. |

This is the
OP ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Ta DAAAAAAA, I would like to solve this problem just to satisfy my curiosity. I should let fellow forumeniferuns know though, that this machine is destined to be wiped, and ruled by puppy linux for ever after. It allows me to get more out of an aging machine. It's going to control my whole greenhouse and chicken coops environment, temp, humidity, ventilation louvers, vidcam surveilance, lights, music, (plants and chickens love good music), and I can read up on microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion while I groove with Randy Bachman (Bachman Turner Overdrive anyone?) and my pet Brocolli's. well there IS my pet hen too. That's a story for another day though. So koonaone wrote: On Feb 24, 10:19 pm, thanatoid wrote: OH thanatoid thank god you showed up ps. thanatoid, is this too early in the morning for you? or what?
