Guest Jeff@unknown.com Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 One of Kelly's Korner tools (#164 in http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm) is a vbs script. I saved it to my PC, but how do I run in? When I double click it asks me what application to run to use it and I do not know. When I double clicked to run it again nothing happens. If I open it in IE7, I just see the text of the script. Jeff

Guest Jeff@unknown.com Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 Re: running a vbs script Wow, hearing from the source itself! BTW, thanks for all the great work you do. You are wonderful. Actually, I tend to run a very clean and secure system and it is possible that in the past I may have turned off the ability to automatically run vbs scripts (though I no longer remember when or how I did that .....). I'll look at the file you recommend, but I actually solved my taskbar problem by restoring my C: partition from a recent image backup. So all is well and I no longer need to run the vbs script. Just fyi, the problem I was trying to solve was the following: I installed the MS Virtual Desk Manager Powertoy to play with it. After a while, I uninstalled it but noticed that it did NOT really uninstall and was still present as a working toolbar in the taskbar. Very annoying! I then manually removed the 2 msvdm files (ini and dll) and all references to it in the registry and that eliminated it - except - that the desktop manager toolbar remained visible in the taskbar. It was non functional but remained as a non-functioning toolbar option. Finally I bit the bullet and restored my system to a backup I had made before installing that powertoy which is why I no longer need the vbs script. Thank you for writing.

Guest Jeff@unknown.com Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Re: running a vbs script If anyone can do it, you're the one <grin> Actually I installed MSVDM because the latest PCWorld had a write up about it. So I tried it. I bet I am not the only one to have done that and therefore there are certainly others facing the same issues. Thanks again. Jeff Kelly wrote: > Thank you so much!

Guest Jeff@unknown.com Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Re: running a vbs script Hi Kelly When you do write a script to remove "Windows Manager" from the taskbar toolbar options let me know. I have a friend who is in the same situation (uninstalled Powertoy Virtual Desktop Manager but found it is still not uninstalled). Unfortunately he does not have an image backup like I had nor a usable restore point. I deleted the remaining msvdm files and references to msdvm in the registry so his msvdm is not longer functional but the option to select a non-functional "Desktop Manager" remains among his toolbars. See http://www.sephardicgen.com/upload/desktopManager.jpg So when your repair is ready let me know. Where the heck are these toolbars listed in the registry? I cannot find them to delete "Desktop Manager" and help him. Jeff Kelly wrote: > Thank you so much! Your support of my work is greatly appreciated. As for > the rest, how interesting.
