lnk gives Error executing program

[Clo]

Hello !

- Same issue after several reboots ¦ turns off…

- The error string is :

30012="Error executing program!"

( In French I added : “… OR lack of memory”, 'cause it's displayed in that case too…)
- No free memory problem here, I've always around 250 MB free / 512…

Send me Sysinternals Regmon log with include filter set to totalcmd.exe, maybe I can see what's going on there.
Clean the view before clicking the link so no unneccessary info is included.

Otherwise format c: and never play around with outdated registry tips and tools anymore.

Oh Claude,

since Windows still puts some necessary files on C:\ even if installed on e:\ or K:\ format c:\ will suffice.

If you one of those

BOOT.INI
bootfont.bin
ntldr

at c:\ your XP won't start again.

Hi Stefan !

- Sorry, but here, it's the Win 98 SE on C:\ which don't start anymore…
- XP-Pro has ben installed years later in another new SATA-HD, nothing to do with the C:\ HD drive… It ignores totally the C:\ register, its <windows> dir. and this is even boring, since my M$ Office is unusable from the E:\ HD, since the DLLs and other caboodle are not loaded at the start up time…
- I had to install Open Office (bheuuuu…) for XP-Pro (my M$ Office 2K CD is lost…)

When I accede to virtual desktop (\\desktop\*.*\) it show the lnk files of the current user and for ALL USERS.
The lnk files of the user work fine, but the lnk files of ALL user don't work well.

the lnk files of ALL user don't work

Confirmed
