regsvr32 shell32.dll
On Sat, 19 Jan 2008 22:29:41 -0500, "glee"
put finger to keyboard and composed: "Franc Zabkar" wrote in message .. . Sorry to hijack this thread, but what exactly does the regsvr32 command actually do, ie what does "registering" a .dll file involve? All I have been able to find is an explanation such as ... "This command-line tool registers .dll files as command components in the registry." Well, that's what it does.....the particular file contains the information for self-registering, which means to add its needed entries into the Registry. Each component is specific to the file that is registered, and what those components are is known by the programmer. Some can be searched online.....for example, go he http://www.mvps.org/serenitymacros/repair.html Expand the first heading: Repairing your File Associations from Winzip Scroll down and you will see an example where, if you've installed Compressed Folders from Plus!98, the file zipfldr.dll is registered, and you can effect a repair if it stops working correctly by re-registering it with regsvr32. That action adds the following entries to the Registry: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.zip] "Content Type"="application/x-zip-compressed" @="CompressedFolder" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.zip\ShellNew] "NullFile"="" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CompressedFolder] @="Compressed Folder" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CompressedFolder\CLSID] @="{E88DCCE0-B7B3-11d1-A9F0-00AA0060FA31}" snip Every self-registering .dll or .ocx file can have anywhere from a few to dozens or hundreds of entries....it depends on what the programmer built into the file. Hope this helps.... Yes, it does. Thanks to all. - Franc Zabkar -- Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email. |

regsvr32 shell32.dll
I just started using Microsoft Vista OS about three months ago, after putting it off as long as possible. I have an Acer Power 2000 PC and Vista Home Premium. I've already had to reinstall, restore several times and upgrade any number of programs in order to use this. After installing an old version of Adobe Audition, I found my microphone no longer worked. I've found several comments about such problems on internet sites, but none of them have solutions that help me. I bought Driver Detective after being sent to that site numerous times, but it was not helpful. I downloaded a new Realtek sound card driver, since that was a solution several people gave. Still no help. Registry Mechanic fixed all sorts of registry errors, but not what I needed. Unfortunately, but the time I realized what was happening I'd already done several other installs and was past the Restore point to revert to the time before I installed Adobe Audition. Of course Uninstalling did nothing to solve the problem. Every time I try to do anything that requires ...\system32\shell32.dll, like make changes from CONTROL PANEL to sound, audio, mouse, etc., I get the same message. CANNOT ACCESS FILE. When I check this file out, it is there where it belongs and claims to be accessible to all parties, certainly for reading and executing. After several weeks of trying to get help locally (here in Sulawesi INDONESIA), even the official Microsoft service, I get the same reply. "You just have to reinstall." I consider that a totally unacceptable option because I have spent too many hours/days getting all the programs I regularly use up and running and getting everything updated. I note that on the Vista CD there are many drivers, but shell32.dll (and others of that kin) are not available. Isn't there some simple, reasonable way to just replace this file with one that isn't blocked for access??? I am really disappointed with Vista, but I am committed to use it at this stage, and I DO NOT want to reinstall everything!! Thanks for any reasonable advice.

BASinar Check out this link to see if if could help you. It replaces the shell32.dll with a 'beefed-up' version. I don't have Vista, so I know little about it. Searching on Google for "shell32.dll for Vista" may give you further info. http://www.winmatrix.com/forums/inde...howtopic=12416 |

Your advice isn't exactly reasonable, but I couldn't agree more. Unfortunately, circumstances don't allow me to make a change.
