Re option two, I beg to differ with you, I know your comments are well intentioned but “…simply press the Alt + Print Screen hotkey combination to capture a shot of the active window to the clipboard. Now enter mspaint in the Run… dialog box to open MS Paint and press Ctrl + V to paste the contents from the clipboard. Save the image as a .jpg and you’re all set…” does NOT qualify as simple in my view. It’s not good enough in 2012 that we are still forced to go to such arcane steps to achieve such a simple outcome.

Microsoft should get off their asses and make the first method of copying dialogue error messages consistent across the board.

-Thanks

Thank you for this solution. However I found this sentence to be not true:
“This will mark the message as read so that it doesn’t keep your Outbox highlighted for unread messages. ”
My Outbox is still bolded with number 1 in brackets, even though my Outbox contains only one ‘dummy’ mail marked as read.
Despite this I am satisfied.
Thanks.

1) Add “Option Explicit” — I resisted this practice at first because I hated the extra work including each & every variable in a declaration line, but as my scripts become increasingly complex, it helps A LOT in debugging.

2) I haven’t tested your code, but it seems some instances of your sub are spelled “ducument” rather than “document”–spelling error may be causing your trap to fail, and since you’re not using Option Explicit as above, WSH is creating a new variable space allotment which is not returning a value as you expect it to.

Best wishes!

It worked like wonder =)
Simple and clean.

Good job! +1 to you

Hey, you may found my problem as well! My .vbs association keeps getting “lost” even after I fix it, and I use (and love) Notepad++ as well, and used the interface setup options to set .vbs to be edited w/ Notepad++ instead of the default of Notepad. I won’t know for sure for a few days, but thanks for the heads-up!

Thanks for the help Nilpo, the good posters here, and the folks over @ http://kiranpatils.wordpress.com/2009/08/13/there-is-no-script-engine-for-file-extension-vbs/ ! (look there for an easy way to reset the defaults using the %windir%\inf\wsh.inf file! - thanks to kiranpatils)

Of course I remember you. Thanks for stopping by. I’m glad you found it useful.

If I call ssh://64.xx.xx.xx it opens up my Term client fine, but there is an extra ” (that’s a quote) at the end of the IP address? for example:

My Term program says.. Connecting to 64.xx.xx.xx” (this extra quote at the end is causing it to fail..)

Any ideas..?

Already solved it for me.

i want that for particular internet base application , whenever i pressed any button so that a script run for particular that application, suppose a apllication name is “abc” and there is to buttons “btn1″ and “btn2″ and this application is created so many before years so now i want the acces of mouse whenever it clicks on a particular pixels on the application “abc” then my scripts run,,

Thanx,

Cannot import FixVBSFileAssociationsVista.reg: Not all data was successfully written to the registry. Some keys are open by the system or other processes.

Your registry entries solved it for me on Windows 7. MSDN describes the issue (”This file extension is not mapped to a script engine.”) and how to solve it: “Check your file extension and also the spelling of your scripting language designation.” or “Use //E to designate a script engine.” At last the last item is a workaround, from the command prompt, to get a script to run.

Pretty sure setting Notepad++ to associate with VBS files caused the problem for me (from the NP++ interface). I should probably let them know…

Your real solution is much appreciated

What pisses me off is the people here that say “Oh nevermind, I figured it out” bullshit, when several people before them and after them cannot get the option to ungray.

in the meantime I would like to share a similar problem if any one has any solution to share:

Recently, facining a problem which I belive is being caused by ‘desktop.ini’: it has created short cut of many folders; when I open any folder, I fing ‘desktop.ini’, and it will come back when deleted manually; whenever i# I tried to burn any file or folder, the ‘desktop.ini’ file also appear to be burnt.

so could you advice how to get rid of this problem.

looking forward to hearing from you all.

sincerely

The script mangled your database because you should not have run it. As the title says, it’s a prefix changer tool. It’s not meant to run on databases without table prefixes.

I would also suggest that you make sure that the “Send immediately when connected” is selected under Send/Receive on the Mail Setup tab in the Options dialog.

I’m thinking there must be a registry setting for this, but can’t seem to find anything.
