Skip the first 5 steps: just type "services.msc" into Start, and hit Enter.
You can also use the Shared Folders snap-in to Management Console (I can't remember the exact msc filename right now) to share folders beyond what the GUI permits.

How to add FLVPlayer.exe in default program list

I have the above program FLVPlayer.exe with some *.flv files.
*.flv files now is defaulted to open with windows media player in the properties.
I need to change the default program to open *.flv to FLVPlayer.exe. However this program is not listed in the Default Program List. I have been trying for the past 5 hours how to get this done.
When trying to set default program to run *.flv, since FLVPlayer.exe is not inside the Default Program list, I go manually browse to the FLVPlayer location. But when I selected the file from this location, Windows does not seems to pick it up.
I need to know what is the trick to add any .exe program into Default Program list.
Can anyone help me out..
Thanks.
you need to tap and hold on the .exe file and select copy
then go to windows/startmenu/programs
and the click on the right soft key (should say EDIT)
then tap paste shortcut
then tap and hold the shortcut and tap rename then rename to desired name then you should now see it listed alphabtically i the start > programs path
Hi JayJay,
Thanks for your quick reply. I already have the file in my Start > Program Path.
What I am not able to do is to set *.flv file to automatically open up with Flvplayer. Fyi, I am using Windows Vista and how i am doing it is via
Control Panel>Default Program > Associate a file type or protocol with a program.
My problem is i am not able to get the FLVplayer.exe into the Default Program list from which I can select the .exe for file association.
When I go to Control Panel> Default Program > Set Default Program, Vista will do search, but somehow it cannot find the .exe .
I tried following your suggestion to drop the .exe into control panel > Default program, but when i do OPEN the folder, I cannot paste the .exe in.
Appreciate if you have any more suggestion.
it may be program wont allow thid, maybe if you cinract the reator theg can help
Adobe Media Player
Hi
I had Adobe's media player installed and that played FLV files pretty well. It's on their website.

Baby Steps: ADB for us Dummies

In the past couple of weeks it's come to my attention that some of the basics of using ADB from the android software developers kit has escaped a few people. With new folks showing up from time to time and all this becoming more or less "ancient history" for most of us ....and an excercise in computer theory to the noobs it just seems like it could stand to be addressed one more time.
Hopefully we can reduce it to it's SIMPLEST concept this time and all in one place where they don't have to go thread hopping and try to piece it all together that way.
SO......let's start right here. OK? This is a link to the install.exe for "ADB for Dummies". https://www.cx.com/mycx/share/Vh6QrvFAEeGmMRICPRQ27A/ADB for Dummies.exe
Now when it pulls up you can save it somewhere in case you need to reinstall it, or just run it from right there. You'll have to accept the "Terms of Agreement" (of course) & then it will give you an option of choosing a folder to install it in on your computer. TAKE THE DEFAULT OF C:\ .
The .exe file will then start installing everything you need for a "bare bones" version of "ADB" into a folder named C:\android-sdk-windows
Now you are DONE with your installation! Easy Peezy....HUH??
NEXT you will want to put that folder in your windows path so you won't always be having to change directories back to that folder to run your commands. To DO that just click on the windows "Start" symbol and look for "Control Panel" over in the right hand column. Click on control panel and open up that folder.
NEXT you want to look for the"System" option and click on that. In the upper left hand corner you will see an option called "Remote Settings" and when you click on THAT you will open up a window named "System Properties". There will be 5 tabs across the top......one of them being named "ADVANCED". DON'T CRAP YOUR PANTS JUST CLICK ON IT! See...nothing blew up.
NOW....at the very bottom right hand corner there is a tab called "Enviroment Variables". Click on it baby....you're almost HOME now! "Enviroment Variables" is the very window it will open up too! (A shocker, I KNOW)!
In THAT window you will see an area at the bottom called "System Variables". That's where you're going to be finishing up and getting outta there.
NEXT I want you to click on the scroll bar until you see "Path" on the left & what's IN the path on the right. You're going to be adding your new folder to that path. OK?? NOW....highlite "Path" and then click on the middle button named "EDIT" and another little tiny window will come up named "Edit System Variable". The "Variable Value" IS YOUR EXISTING PATH!
NOW.....Click at the very end of this string and add this to the end with no spaces ;C:\android-sdk-windows
NOW VERY carefully click on "OK"....then on "OK"....then on "OK" again until you are right back to the Control Panel window you started in. Click on the little "X" in the upper right hand corner of the control panel window and close it out.
LAST but certainly not LEAST........close out everything you have open & REBOOT your computer so windows will be SURE and read it's new path addition.
From this point on, all you'll have to do to run ADB is pull up your command window and type CD\ To take you to a C prompt. And ANY file you are wanting to flash will be placed in your root directory C:\ on your computer....where there are usually no other individual files existing. Makes it EAAAASY to clean up behind yourself when you need to find that file & can it....if you ever even do.
TA freakin' DA!! You are now an ADB WIZARD!
(but don't tell anyone where you heard it....)
P.S. My very best advice is that you consider this a 2 part thread that you don't consider yourself through with until you have read and completed Blue6IX's tutorial and user's guide below.
Here is a write up I did explaining the adb pull command in detail - should help add to the topic at hand:

Use Zune as Hard drive

Do it at your own risk. Though it's required only registry value enable. Please note all default values, if it doesn't work set all value to default.
1. Make sure your Zune is not plugged in and your Zune software isn't running
2. open up regedit by going to the start menu and selecting "run". Type regedt32 and hit "OK"
3. Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet001\Enum\USB\
4. Search for "PortableDeviceNameSpace". This should be contained in the Vid_####&Pid_####\########_-_########_-_########_-_########\Device Parameters within the above ...\USB\ The ##'s listed here will be numbers and letters specific to your Zune
5. Change the following values:
* EnableLegacySupport to 1
* PortableDeviceNameSpaceExcludeFromShell to 0
* ShowInShell to 1
6. Plug in your Zune, and make sure the Zune Software starts up.
7. Hopefully at this point you can open up "My Computer" and browse your device, though it does NOT show up as a drive letter.
Right now you can access it both as a harddrive and sync through the Zune Software.
thanks to Jason Chen for this useful info.
Its worked in my & my friend's case

Media foundation protected pipeline crashes when transferring mkv

Hello guys when i transfer any mkv, it just pop up and transfer interrupted.... I can't find properly on google directly..So i am sharing the solution here.
Mfpmp.exe is a Media Foundation Protected Pipeline EXE belonging to Microsoft Windows Vista from Microsoft Corporation. It is a program that runs automatically every time you play DRM content on Windows Media Player to prevent the DRM file from being hacked. While it is not a dangerous file, it's been known to use lots of system resources when it runs and slows down computer speed. Removing Mfpmp.exe can be accomplished easily to prevent it from running on your computer.
Instructions
1 Open the Windows Task Manager by pressing "Ctrl," "Alt" and "Delete" together. Click the "Processes" tab.
2 Locate the "mfpmp.exe" process and click it. Click "End Process." If it is not a currently running process, move to the next step.
Click the Windows "Start" button and click "Start Search." Type "cmd" (without quotes) and press "Enter" to open the command prompt.
4 Type "takeown /f C:\Windows\System32\mfpmp.exe" (without quotes) and press "Enter."
Again type "icacls C:\Windows\System32\mfpmp.exe /grant (user name):F" (without quotes) and press "Enter." Type your name in the "username" category.
5 Double-click "My Computer" on your desktop and double-click the "C:" drive. Double-click the "Windows" folder and double-click the "System32" folder.
Locate "mfpmp.exe" and right-click it. Click "Delete."
