I changed my icons using 'IcoPackager' to Mac theme and then I uninstalled the IcoPackager, and when I installed it to remove those icons, it says my trial has expired, can you help me out?
Every single icon in my Windows 7 Ultimate, 32-bit laptop is now fked up with Mac Icons.
Yes try system restore but if you don't want to i'm pretty sure there are programs out there that will help you get your files back. you could try a program called Icon Cache Re-builder.
another way to do it is with cmd, here are some step by step instructions i made to fix it.
Close and save anything that you are working on. This command will kill explorer and restart the computer when completed.
Open a command prompt in Windows 7 or Windows 8.
In the command prompt, Copy and paste each command line below exactly as is one at a time and press enter after each command.
ie4uinit.exe -ClearIconCache
taskkill /IM explorer.exe /F
DEL "%localappdata%\IconCache.db" /A
shutdown /r /f /t 00
The IconCache.db file has now been rebuilt and your computer should all be back to normal
Nothing above worked, I just copied the C:\Windows\system32\imageres.dll from my fathers 64bit PC to my 32bit Laptop, and I replaced it with mine and rebooted my computer and everything worked fine!

How to open Microsoft To Do (2.56.43053) from command line of Windows 10 Enterprise (1909). I need this answer in order to create keyboard shortcut to AutoHotkey. There might be also be another way to open the program in AutoHotkey.
So far, I have managed to open Microsoft To Do from Windows menu
or from taskbar
.
However, I did not find way to launch Microsoft To Do from command line.
From the properties of "Microsoft To Do" in Task Manager, I found that the program is located in C:\Program Files\WindowsApps, however, I do not have access to the folder from the command prompt.
It is weird to have a program which can be launched from the menu or taskbar, but cannot be launched otherwise.
From what I have read on different sources, you would have to set this up yourself.
Even though I think you should be able to launch any Microsoft app from the command line (other than the microsoft store app with the command: start ms-windows-store), like Linux does, not every app supports that from what I see.
These are the sources that I have read about how to do the setup of launching Microsoft apps from the command line.

Edit by Heikki (questioner):
According to the links you may
first create a shortcut from the original application and
then call the shortcut from the command line: "Microsoft To Do.lnk"

I have a batch file with name hack.bat with content "shutdown /s /t 0"
when I press this my system shutdown automatically
I have placed this file in a startup folder
"C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp"
This action makes the file Hack.bat to execute on start of windows.
when ever I login into my account this hack.bat is running and system is shutting down.
please help me to resolve this problem.!!!!!
You'll need to boot into safe mode to move or remove the file, the method depends on which version of windows you are currently using.
Windows XP and 7:
Press F8 immediately after your BIOS screen goes away (on some PCs the dead givaway is your screen flashing) then choose safe mode from there. after your computer boots find and move or delete the offending batch file from C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp.
Windows 8, 8.1, and 10:
Boot your install disk, chose "Repair your computer" then "Troubleshoot" "Startup Settings" and click "Restart". this will restart your computer into a new menu, choose the option that says "Enable Safe Mode" (usually #4) from there find and move or delete the offending batch file from C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp.

I installed Windows Server 2003 on one of my machines. It was a long back machine and the OS was also installed long back. Its RAM is 4GB.
Until 4 days back the machine was fine and providing services. But recently its graphics got problem. Only command prompt is working. If I open Windows Explorer through "explorer.exe" through command prompt, the window gets opened but no graphics would be displayed. It is showing black desktop.
The machine is currently running as a development server. Could anyone please suggest and help me in making the machine run perfectly?
Somehow I found the answer. I killed the process explorer.exe with the help of below commands
> tasklist
> TaskKill /F /IM explorer.exe
and started the process with the below command
> explorer.exe
It should resolve the issue at this point. If not, logoff the machine and login back. It should definitely show the result.

My Windows 7 started installing updates on shutdown. After I manually forced shutdown by mistake, after restart I have a message : "Installing updates : 10 of 42", i.e. the installation of updates continues. If there is any way to stop the process? Like, start Windows in protected mode or something similar, as it was available in Windows XP?
I am not asking how to disable automatic updates installation in the future, I am asking how to stop the update process after it has already been started.
Thanks,
Kostya
There is no way to kill installing process after it started but just to long press the power button and disable the automatic after restarted.
SOLUTION !
1) create a .bat (CMD) file, with this code:
sc stop wuauserv
2) put that file in STARTUP folder ( %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup )

Is there a reliable equivalent of xkill for Windows?
For those who don't know what xkill is: it is a Unix tool which basically kills the process of any windows you click on.
A Windows port can be downloaded here.
Windows xkill.
Disclaimer:
I got it from google and I haven't tried it.
Update: Process Explorer has a window Finder function. Very useful to locate a window.
taskkill /im ProcessName.exe /f
The "f" is for "force".
PSKILL from the SysInternals suite is very handy. PSLIST and PSINFO are related tools. You can view the entire Sysinternals Live tools directory in a browser at http://live.sysinternals.com. , or download a ZIP file from here.
To kill process based on its window, install Process Explorer (from the Sysinternals). It got the option to find window's process by dragging over the window.
There is WinKill. Does exactly that and it's free. Rightckick -> Kill to get rid of hidden processes too.
