B.A. Regedit

Any of you that do websites and like to open .html and similar files in notepad to edit scripts, this is the coolest windows registry edit ever you can download the zip file with the .reg in it (run it and it automatically adds itself to your registry) or do it manually.

CODE
http://www.geocities.com/ichbindeingott5/winxp-notepad.zip

Manually: regedit and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\*\Shell add the key "notepad" it's default value should be "open with notepad" now, under "notepad", add the key "command" it's default value should be (with the quotes) "c:\windows\system32\Notepad.exe" "%1"

ok, exit regedit and go right click on ANY file...
you new option: Open with notepad.

I know this one works on XP and 2000, you can PROBABLY enter it manually on windows 9x, but I have not tested that.

I know maybe not everyone cares... but this was fun for me because I love tweaking my computer and it makes some web design stuff easier for me :D

Failed to install suite service

Hi,

This problem occurs when the Windows Update agent file Wups2.dll is registered incorrectly in the registry. Because the registry files that correspond to the Wups2.dll file are missing, update installations are unsuccessful. There are two methods to resolve this issue, use method one first and if it did not resolve your issue, proceed to method 2

Method 1: Register the Windows Update files

1. Click Start and then type notepad in the Start Search box.
2. Click Notepad in the Programs list.
3. Copy the following commands, and then paste them into the opened Notepad window:
REGSVR32 WUPS2.DLL /S
REGSVR32 WUPS.DLL /S
REGSVR32 WUAUENG.DLL /S
REGSVR32 WUAPI.DLL /S
REGSVR32 WUCLTUX.DLL /S
REGSVR32 WUWEBV.DLL /S
REGSVR32 JSCRIPT.DLL /S
REGSVR32 MSXML3.DLL /S

4. In Notepad, on the File menu, click Save As.
5. In the Save as type list, click All Files.
6. In the File name box, type register.bat.
7. Save the Register.bat file to your desktop.
8. Right-click the Register.bat file, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password or click Continue.
6. Try to install updates again.

Method 2: Download and install the Windows Update agent

Ipod opens notepad insted of contenets?

You may have selected Notepad as the program to use to open file folders. Right click the "ipod" icon and select Explore instead of Open, and see if it will display the contents of the ipod. Whether it is successful or not, at some point you will need to open up My Computer --> Fodler Options --> File Types, and find out which file types are associated with Notepad. This is time-consuming, but it the safe way to approach the problem. There is advice online that will show you how to edit it by registry, but this method is fraught with peril - one false move and you could ruin your computer. Good luck!

Downloading

When you open the file, Windows may be trying to open it with the wrong program. It may be trying to open a picture file with Notepad, which would result in numbers and unreadable characters. If this is the problem, right click on the file, choose "Open With", and choose the appropriate program.
