Guest DAXU@HOTMAIL.COM Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 Hello, I got an appliation like a toolbar to lunch things like notepad etc (some application, just same me some type time). Before I install terminal service, it works ok. But when I got terminal service installed, it failed to launch. (e.g. when the toolbar tries to launch notepad,it gives out error: Unable to find notepad.exe in "C:\documents and settings\administrator \windows\". So why it is searching that path? If I remove terminal service, the application will be OK again. Many Thanks Jerry

Guest TP Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Re: Why this happens in terminal service? Hi Jerry, It seems that your toolbar program is checking for the windows directory using GetWindowsDir and then using that as a basis to launch notepad.exe. This makes partial sense because notepad.exe is located at %systemroot%\notepad.exe, however, under a terminal services session GetWindowsDir will return the user-specific windows directory instead of the *real* one. In order to fix this you can set a compatibility flag for your toolbar program. For example, if your toolbar program is named toolbar.exe you would need to make the following registry additions: 1. Create the following registry key, substituting the real program exe file name (without the .exe) for TOOLBAR: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Terminal Server\Compatibility\Applications\TOOLBAR 2. Create the following registry value under the above key: Flags REG_DWORD 0x00000408 See this document for more information: Program compatibility flags http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/df78c476-00d5-41f0-a21d-e1e12e3d1f8b1033.mspx Thanks. -TP DAXU@HOTMAIL.COM wrote: > Hello, > > I got an appliation like a toolbar to lunch things like notepad etc > (some application, just same me some type time).

But not notepad. I hope the Program compatibility flags described by TP solved the problem, but look at the following in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppPaths In there, there is an entry for WORDPAD.EXE but not notepad. I don't know however if that is relevant.
