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..

All of the sudden the method by apps open the "select a file" dialog stopped working. For instance if I go to https://uploadfiles.io/, clicking on it does nothing, but the drag and drop works.
This is happening for apps as well, for example I just needed to resync my Google Drive and change the folder location, clicking in "browse" to select a folder does nothing. However, going to Notepad and file > open file works.
I've been searching for a while for the method, .dll, or something that is responsible for this without success. Anyone with a similar issue or more knowledge than what I have can point me in the right direction?
I'm not a naive English speaker so I am not sure if I'm not finding anything because I am not using the right names to search for it.
Windows 10 64b INSIDER PREVIEW FAST RING
I have exactly the same issue. It started somewhere between Friday and today. (Computer was shutdown for two weeks until friday night and before shutting down the problem did not exist.) I suspect some update. In addition to the mentioned issue I have trouble downloading files through Chrome. Edge and IE are downloading fine. Firefox will be installed to test this. It is consistent which apps are (not) allowed to spawn new windows. Apps in 'Program Files' seem OK while those in 'Program Files(x86)' differ. Of those in the (x86) folder OpenOffice is allowed to open a browse window, Adobe Reader is not. KeePass is allowed to open files, EventGhost is not. (changing install folder does not make a difference).
Since it is not clear how long this issue has been around I am hesitant to do a system restore. Also I believe that is a bandaid, not a solution. I am on the Fast Ring of updates.
I have tried time and time again to get remote-edit working within atom. I have added my known working FTP server, click on the Browse Hosts button, and attempt to connect. I am 100% sure the username and password are correct. I don't know what kind of data to provide, other than it worked once, but has never worked again.
From a look at the source, remote-edit prints all errors to the console. To open the console, open the View menu, then browse to Developer and click Toggle Developer Tools. Or use the shortcut CmdAltI (it's probably CtrlAltI on Windows.) This should help finding the cause of your problem.
I installed windows 10 on my computer.
Every time I restart my computer, my all new files disappear
and my desktop is empty!!!
Is it a bug or setting issues?
How can I restore my files back
Thanks in advance!
You somehow corrupted your explorer.exe or changed a registry setting :
If you corrupted explorer.exe, best bet is to do a repair or system restore.
To check if explorer.exe is set to your shell:
Ctrl+Alt+Del to bring up task manager. Click File>Run new Task.
Type REGEDIT, click ok.
Click the plus sign (navigate through) entries:
-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
-SOFTWARE
-MICROSOFT
-WINDOWS NT
-CurrentVersion
Click the folder WINLOGON
in the box to your right, find the entry Shell.
If the data correspondig to it is not Explorer.exe, double click Shell and modify it to Explorer.exe.
Close the registry,
Ctrl+Alt+Del to bring up Task Manager.
File>New Task. Type explorer,
click ok.
I think something is gone wrong by the installation. You can look for the files in C:/users/"you username"/desktop if they arent show there you can try other users in the /user/ directory. Maybe you have a bit of luck and the files are stored by the wrong user by some weird reason.
In the most cases the best solution is to reinstal Windows 10. I think it is faster than looking for an solution. (when you havent install a lot of software)
How you can restore your windows (clean instal) it is explained in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzTNjs8k15Q
Make sure you have an backup from your data ;-)
(sorry for bad english, iam from holland ;-) )
yes it looks like the installation process has not been taken place properly without any interruptions.
The most convenient solution in my experience is:-
1.search locally 'recovery options'through windows 10 search icon on the left bottom corner
2.click "get started" button under "reset my pc".
3.select the option "keep my files".
then once you are safely back in windows 7, again start the process of updating to windows 10 in a fresh manner WITH the pc plugged in to power and with a stable internet connection.
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".
(Windows 7 Pro x64)
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 managed to successfully silence the CrashReport dialog, but when my application crashes and I restart it, I get the annoying dialog as from Title. Is there a way to prevent it to appear, and just let the application run without interruption?
Try this to get rid of the reopening windows:
defaults write -app "Application Name" NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false
You may also disable it for every application by selecting this option in the preferences: "Close windows when quitting an application"
And for others reading this thread, to remove the CrashReport do this:
defaults write com.apple.CrashReporter DialogType none
Also note that in the source of this information they say:
For this to work one needs to check the box, open the program in
question and immediately close it. On the next re-opening it will work
without Resume.
You may also have to delete:
/Users/…/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/org.python.python.savedState/
I was having a similar problem with google chrome and I could solve it by reading the following link:
https://support.google.com/chrome/thread/22716083?hl=en
Drew Z recommends the following solution there which worked for me:
In the Mac menu bar at the top of the screen, click Go.
Select Go to Folder.
Enter ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/ in the text field, then press Go.
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.
Voila! I've just solved this problem by deleting all Unity-related files inside ~Library/Caches folder on my Mac!
For those trying to accomplish this
defaults write -app "Application Name" NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false
with Python, you may get the error Couldn't find an application named "Python"; defaults unchanged.
To solve this, repeat the process to get the "reopen windows?" pop-up again, but do not choose an option in the pop-up – leave it alone for now. Right-click on the Python application's icon on the dock and choose "Show in Finder". Right-click on the application icon within Finder, hold the option key, and click Copy "Python" as pathname". Paste that in as the "Application Name" for the command above and it should work.
You can disable this for a specific Xcode scheme by going to Edit Scheme, choosing the Options tab, and checking the box labeled "Launch application without state restoration."
However, this will only apply when you actually launch the application from Xcode; it won't disable the dialog when launching by double-clicking in Finder, or when launching from the terminal.
(As best I can tell, there no way for AppKit/NSApplication-based apps to do what UIKit apps can do with UIApplicationDelegate's application:shouldRestoreApplicationState: and disable persistent state entirely for the application.)
