Reporting a problem with opening msc files on XP x64
« on: February 12, 2012, 05:30:39 am »
Hey,

Registering system files on Windows XP x64 seems to break opening .msc files. I'll have to manually tell Windows to use Microsoft Management Console to open, say, services.msc. I've tried it a couple of times on fresh installations and Tweaking.com Windows Repair (All In One) seems to break that functionality every time. Not a huge problem for the user to fix, but I thought I'd let you know. Even though this OS is marginally used. ;)

Thanks.

Thanks for letting me know :-)

Is it only the register system files that does it? You can edit the list of files it registers in the files folder. I haven't seen this problem on other versions of Windows, xp 64 bit is one of the systems I haven't used. Xp 32 bit and then vista and 7 32 & 64 bit are the ones I test on the most.

Let me know what you find out and I can update the repair to better handle it  :wink:
