I have just set up a Guest Windows 2008 R2 Standard Edition 64bit (VirtualBox on Windows 7 64 bit host) for some testing.
I have found that while "inside" the remote desktop environment (i.e. I remote onto the guest ip from the host) that copy and paste does not work. When I say "does not work" let me be explicit.
Assume I am logged onto the Win2008 machine via RDC
Nothing is in the copy/paste buffer. I can mouse click some text and then rclick copy. I can then right click and click "paste" but nothing happens. I can see the "choice" is enabled to paste bu nothing happens. The caret stays put.
CTRL+C / CTRL-V / CTRL-X does not work in RDC land
I am not talking about going in-between copy/paste RDC land/host land.
HERE is the double whammy: when I do the above it then "infects" my host pc so that copy paste is unavailable there too. if PRT SCR doesn't work any more.
I have tried:
restarting the guest os and host os
in group policy editor I have disabled "do not allow clip board redirection" ( I can't give you the full path to this copy/paste just broke again)
I have made sure that in RDC "options" for local resources include clipboard.
NB: if I don't touch RDC at all and log into the guest OS via the console copy paste works perfectly
Kill the rdpclip.exe process using the Task Manager. Then, create a new process named rdpclip.exe. This will solve your problem.
Follow these steps in Remote Machine.
Stop the rdpclip process
Open Task Manager.
Go to process tab and find rdpclip
Choose rdpclip and End that task.
Start rdpclip.exe
Go to start menu and open Run command
Open rdpclip.exe and click Ok button.
Copy paste should work now.
it appears this is a flaw with VirtualBox
these posts covers it

(In VirtualBox) SETTINGS->GENERAL->[Advanced]->Shared Clipboard {disabled}
There are multiple things to check.
Restarting rdpclip.exe is a worthy try if the copy/paste fails sporadically, meaning we might on a process in a previous session.
On the client side, we check the RDP Options. Click on the Show Options button in the bottom, pick the third tab Local Resources. Make sure Clipboard is checked.
On the remote server side, we want to check Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration (Win Server 2008+).
Double click the connection to open its Properties window.
In the tab named Client Settings, Make sure Clipboard is not disabled.
We need to log off from the remote desktop.
Workaround
Use an online shared text box like this one:

I added this command to httpd_uwamp.conf :
#LOG ROTATION
TransferLog "|C:/UwAmp/bin/apache/bin/rotatelogs.exe C:/UwAmp/bin/apache/logs/backup/access-%Y_%m_%d.log 5M"
It works fine, but cmd window is always visible while Apache is on.
Does anyone know how to hide this cmd window ?
This happens to me too with my access logs. I couldn't figure out a solid solution but for now I hide it through the command line using this tool found here:
https://steve.fi/Software/windowhide/
I've used it on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2012

Revisiting... You might want to check on what user profile your server is starting and make sure it's running as a service.
My rotatelogs windows finally cleared away when I ran my server applications as a service..
Under the Task Manager the username is now SYSTEM and no longer my user name.
With this modification, an "Interactive Services Detection" window would popup presenting the option to view the prompts from a self-contained screen.
I also modified the httpd.conf and moved my "CustomLog" and "ErrorLog" lines to the directives as they were outside, though I don't think it'll affect the outcome.
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 was wondering if it is possible to use the command window commands to attach to a remote process? (It gets very annoying for remote debugging to roll through the dialog steps every time.)
I don't think there's any way to do what you want from the command line. But you should be able to eliminate at least some of the dialog steps.
For example, for C++, in the Project Properties find the Debugging Tab and change "Debugger to launch" to "Remote Windows Debugger". Now change Remote Command to the name of the process you want to attach to, change Remote Server Name to the relevant host name and change Attach to 'yes'. You can also set other properties as desired.
Press F5 (or Debug | Start) and you should end up attached to the process you identified on the remote server you identified.
My operating system is Windows 7 32bit. I installed RedMon1.7, Ghostscript 8.71 and GSview 4.9; installations were successful.
I went to Add New Local Printer in Windows Devices and Printers, clicked on Create A New Port, and selected Redirected Port from the Type of Port list. Clicked Next and in the Add New Port window I named RPT1: and clicked OK but it says Specified port cannot be added. Operation could not be completed (error 0x00000001)
I tried giving different names to the port, RPT2:, RPT4:, VPport: etc but all gave same result. Disabled Windows Firewall and tried but it continues to give same error, Disabled the Antivirus (Avira) but no change.
What can be preventing windows 7 from adding redirected port?
BTW I was following instructions in this tutorial in order to create a postscript printer.

Appreciate any ideas or suggestions. Thanks
Run cmd.exe as Administrator and then run:
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /il
from the elevated cmd.
Go to your Start Menu,
Type Print,
Right-Click "Print Management",
Select "Run as administrator",
In Print Management; Expand "Print Servers" and Select "Ports".
Right-Click in the "Ports" pane (on the right hand side) and Select "Add Port...".
I'd also recommend configuring a Port from Print Management, as opposed to trying to do it in a Printers Properties. ;)
Adam Reed describes a workaround in his blog:
http://borntoidentify.blogspot.com/2010/09/configuring-virtual-printer-using.html
Not very comfortable, but works for me ...

The gist is that under Win7, you need to run explorer with elevated rights. This can be done using another browser, or, as mentioned in the comments on the original post:
Open a CMD window by right clicking and running as administrator
Kill the process explorer.exe from the task manager
Run explorer.exe from the command prompt window, now as an administrator.
Be very careful when running explorer as an administrator.
You need to enable Admin mode OR log with the Admin account!
This is cause by the new Vista/Win 7 security system.
Try reseting the firewall (Windows 7)
(be warned tho, the firewall will reset to the default setting)
*go to Control Panel
*go to Windows Firewall
*on the left choice pick "Restore Defaults"
It works for me, i hope it works for you.
F3lix's rundll32 method works but after you've created the port you most probably would need to configure its settings. Elsewhere in the net there are instructions to open Port management as Administrator, but in Windows 7 Home that seems to be very much impossible. One can only view the virtual port settings. The only workaround I found is to edit registry directly with the Registry editor at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors\Redirected Port\Ports\RPT1:
(Replace your port name in the end.)
It seams to be tricky. In my case it only works, after creating an new User account with the name "admin" / group " Administratoren" (de).
Before with my real Nickname User "Nick.." / group "Administratoren" (de) it dosent work´.
Takes several hours to discover ...
Accepted solution did not work for me...I found an other command line that worked well (I'm on windows 10):
%systemroot%\system32\printmanagement.msc
It opens the print management in administrator mode, and I was able to create the port with no problems.
