I'm facing issue with the "File > Open Windows PowerShell" for some time, I don't know what to do to solve it, googling also didn't help, and I have installed windows updates many times already.
I use this feature really lot, but now once I click "Open Windows PowerShell" I get an unkown file format dialog (see bellow).
Does anybody know whats wrong? or how I can solve this issue?

I have encountered the usual Chrome "feature" of displaying "this type of file can harm your computer mac no keep option" when trying to download a file from a filehosting website.
However, when the warning appears there is only ever a "discard" button and not one to "keep" the file as I have seen when using Windows...
Can anybody suggest anything?
Going to the downloads list (Command+Shift+J) shows you the Keep option.
#DickKennedy Helped resolve my woes with a workaround for this by going to Chrome settings and enabling the option "Ask where to save each file before downloading" in the downloads section.
This isn't a fix, but it certainly gets the job done!
Yes - super annoying issue. Luckily a small work-around that works is going to Window -> Downloads and clicking on "Keep" there.
Been trying to find a way to do this for a while.
Opening a link in an windows explorer window instead of a browser.
For example using this link : ftp://username:pass#ftp.domain.com:80
And opening it in Windows Explorer.
Is it possible to dictate how windows should react when clicking on that link in a email ?
Thank you Fabian H!
Your solution works fine for me :-)
I made just a small change to your code, infact I wrote:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\IE.FTP\shell\open\command]
#="C:\\Windows\explorer.exe" %1
Instead of:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\IE.FTP\shell\open\command]
#="C:\\Windows\\explorer.exe %1"
This second one didn't work for me :-(
But now I can finally enjoy using explorer.exe as the default FTP Client!!
PS:
Tested on WIndows 7
Save these lines in a file with a file name ending .reg and double klick the file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\IE.FTP\shell\open\command]
#="C:\\Windows\\explorer.exe %1"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\IE.FTP\shell\open\ddeexec\Application]
#="Explorer"
Tested on WIndows 8.1 64bit.
Thanks to Perneel for his link.
The Windows registry keys shown before didn't work for me, but this works:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\FTP
Use Web Based FTP = "yes"
Just change value to "no".

I was fumbling around looking for how to do this and I ultimately decided to go with the "Add Network Location" wizard method as described here by "nhinkle".
However after doing so, I got a link that generated this shortcut:
ftp://MYFTP_LOGINID#FTPADDRESS/Some/Folder/Navigation/&Stuff/
More what it actually looks like:
ftp://123445_65432#78.13.223.184/root/main/servers/current/
Then was prompted for my login credentials, and thats it. Does not open in Chrome and I just did Send To > Desktop (shortcut) and moved that shortcut to the folder I wanted it in. Now I can open the FTP location from explorer by hitting the link instead of typing the address into the address bar, and it is not opening up in any internet browsers.
I only have one ftp account, dont know much about any background magic that the wizard may have done regarding registry/etc, and I feel like deleting the shortcut wont really undo any of that if it did happen, so if someone could test this and confirm whether or not it works, that'd be great.
Just my 2c :)
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Associations\UrlAssociations\ftp\UserChoice
Check it out, i got the above answer working by deleting this entry
For regularly used FTP sites, if you don't want to make registry edits, create a shortcut using the following format and your site will open in Windows Explorer.
%windir%\explorer.exe ftp://
I have a problem every time I open the chrome.
I'm getting the error message:
Your preferences cannot be read.
Some features may be unavailable and changes to preferences won't be saved.
So, I have to sign in at chrome every fresh start.
I have search the web and the solution to reinstall chrome doesn't work for me. I find that the problem is a missing folder but I don't know who.
My operating system is Windows 8. Any help to overcome with my problem is more than appreciated.
Exit Google Chrome completely.
Enter the keyboard shortcut Windows key+E to open Windows Explorer.
In the Windows Explorer window that appears enter the following in the address bar:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\
Locate the folder called "Default" in the directory window that opens and rename it as "Backup default."
Try opening Google Chrome again. A new "Default" folder is automatically created as you start using the browser.
fix, error: preference files cannot read."
go to control panel
programs
uninstall
click on program getting error.
click repair
this fixed my problem.
this problem can be solved easily.. once you have setup everything after the error message i.e bookmarks and sync, Run CHROME IN "ADMINISTRATOR MODE" every time you want to open chrome..that solves the issue..
I have just installed Enthought Canopy on my Windows 7 32-bit (I have russian version of Windows). But when I tried to start it, I got a bug reporter dialog window saying "... we ran into a problem setting up your environment ...". I also tried reinstalling it as administrator to a custom folder (C:/Program Files/Enthought to be exact), but the problem persists. I tried to send bug report throught this dialog window, but it freezes and it seems it doesn't send anything. Has anyone encountered the same problem? What might be the solution?
Anton, does your Windows user name (hence your home directory name) contain a non-ASCII character?

In the below Code i get a Path/File Access Error In Vb 6 .
Open App.Path & "\testing.Bat" For Output as #1
This error happens in windows 7 PC's only & not at all times & Only in sometimes
any virus issue involved here?
Any one give me a solution . Please ?
If App.Path is c:\Program Files, it's most likely a rights issue. On Windows 7, even if you are an Administrator, you don't always have full rights to Program Files.
When you launch you Visual Studio 6.0 IDE, make sure you right click the icon and select "Run As Administrator" instead of just running it normally, you can also right click the shortcut icon, select properties, and in the Compatability tab, you should be able to check "Run As Administrator" so that every time you click the shortcut for Visual Basic 6.0, it will run in admin mode (and may ask/prompt you every time, in which case, you must select Yes). In this case, the File/Path access error will go away :).
Let me know how you get along and if you need more help.
