Dear Kelly or other experts,
I have used a few tweaks from your site that work wonderfully.
But I installed a tweak that wasn't what I thought it was.
Can you "please, please" email me VBS tweak to reverse it.
My computer now show .lnk after every desk top icon etc.
The name of the tweak was "ShowHiddenexts".

My email address is pcar***@bellsouth.net.
Could you please email me a vbs to reverse the below PLEASE?
Thanks a million.

Here is the vbs script.

On Error Resume Next
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.RegDelete "HKCR\lnkfile\NeverShowExt"
WshShell.RegDelete "HKCR\DocShortcut\NeverShowExt"
WshShell.RegDelete "HKCR\InternetShortcut\NeverShowExt"
WshShell.RegDelete "HKCR\piffile\NeverShowExt"
WshShell.RegDelete "HKCR\SHCmdFile\NeverShowExt"
WshShell.RegDelete "HKCR\ShellScrap\NeverShowExt"

Dim MyBox

MyBox = MsgBox("You must Log Off/Log On for the changes to take effect.",
vbOKOnly,"Done")

VisitKelly's Korner

Sub VisitKelly's Korner
    If MsgBox("This script came from the Tweaks Section of Kelly's Korner" &
vbCRLF & vbCRLF & "Would you like to visit Kelly's Web Site now?", vbQuestion
+ vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton, "Visit Kelly's Korner") =6 Then
        wshshell.Run "http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm"
    End If
End Sub
  Was this post helpful to you?        

  Why should I rate a post?

Hello,

If you don't get an answer from Kelly - the ingenious genius of all
things Registry.

Try this:

Copy the text below between the dotted lines, but not the dotted lines
themselves. Open Notepad and paste it in. Save the result in a
suitable location as extension.reg - making sure that the default .txt
extension doesn't appear in the file name (Save as type = All Files).
Double-click on the saved .reg file to merge the contents.
Restart or Log in/Out

-------------------------------------------------------------

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DocShortcut]
"NeverShowExt"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InternetShortcut]
"NeverShowExt"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile]
"NeverShowExt"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\piffile]
"NeverShowExt"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SHCmdFile]
"NeverShowExt"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ShellScrap]
"NeverShowExt"=""

I just noticed your problem is multi-posted. Check also the other
suggestions - especially System Restore - if it's available to you.
