Guest Arturo Seis Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Re: Win ME Disks You should post your question again in a new thread so's it'll be seen my those who are not interested in the Win ME Disks discussion. I no longer have Win ME available and off the top of my head can't think of the answer to that one - it is several years since I saw that problem come up! However, it may just depend on how long ago you made this change. Have you tried "Scanreg /Restore" ? If you have a registry backup from before the change, restoring that should correct it. Likewise running System Restore - though there is really no point having System Restore enabled in VPC because i). when you have Undo Disks enabled, you can discard said error - assuming you realised it before merging Undo Disks, and ii). you can back your VHDs up by simply copying them and should do if not on a regular basis, certainly at the very start of using a VHD, and with *your* use for Win ME there should not be so much changed that it hurts to go back to square one. But if you have System Restore running, possibly that will be a solution. When I'll be back here, I don't know. But if I am able to help, I will need to know what file type you're talking about.

But if > you have System Restore running, possibly that will be a solution. i run my vms like real computers, so no undo disks, i did this about 4 days ago, it was for torrent files, no registry backups, and i did look at system restore with no luck of a restore point. as long as it doesnt do this autoo download thing to other files, i dont care really, because downloading torrents is too much for WinME considering i only gave it an 8.5 gb hdd

You should have five, at least one of which is older than 4 days. Are you saying you've run SCANREG /RESTORE and it does not give you those options? Otherwise, if the file type is .torrent, I would uninstall the BitTorrent client, reboot, then either reinstall it or search the registry for the word 'torrent' and delete all instances I found of it, then reinstall it.

Guest secret00agent00man Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Re: Win ME Disks what the heck. its just got to be a small deal of enabling or disabling a feature within WinME or IE6. besides like i said, i dont use the bittorent client on the vm because i only have an 8.5 gb hdd with it. i was just downlading torrents for my main system. nothing big, really. it doesnt bother me that much. and if you WANT to help me, like REALLY WANT to help me, feel free, but show me how to do whatever (only if you feel like it)
Guest Mike M Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Re: Win ME Disks To restore the question"Always ask before opening this type of file" when downloading. Control Panel | Folder Options | File Type. Select file extension in the left hand column, click Advanced and recheck the box "Confirm open after download". -- Mike Maltby mike.maltby@gmail.com secret00agent00man <secret00agent00man@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: > what the heck. its just got to be a small deal of enabling or > disabling a feature within WinME or IE6. besides like i said, i dont > use the bittorent client on the vm because i only have an 8.5 gb hdd > with it. i was just downlading torrents for my main system. nothing > big, really. it doesnt bother me that much. and if you WANT to help > me, like REALLY WANT to help me, feel free, but show me how to do > whatever (only if you feel like it)
