YES, it does. Success at last! I must remember that quirk with PowerShell having some different commands. Many thanks to you and the others for your help. Can close this thread now. Best regards, Ken.

I was using PowerShell. I have now tried assoc .scr=scrfile in Admin command window. It echoes the command and that's all, just goes back to command prompt.

Hi pseymour, reg query "HKCR\.scr" Returns no result at all. reg query "HKCR\scrfile" /s Returns following: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\scrfile (Default) REG_SZ Screen saver FriendlyTypeName REG_SZ @shell32,-10162 HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\scrfile\shell...

Hi, Yes, I've tried Screensaver Planet -- no success. The Power Shell shortcut does not work Only suggestion that works is Saver Starter, but that is just as clunky as going to Settings. I'll try putting the problem on its message board.

Hi, I have completed a Repair Install. sfc /scannow now runs correctly to completion without any integrity violations. So I then ran: Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth Again successfully completed, But problem persists -- when I click on the .scr file it asks me...

I will try a Repair Install. Thanks

Hi All, and thanks for your help. I have tried your suggestions, but to no avail. As Scott says: I have tried admin command prompt with sfc /scannow. It responds with message: "Beginning system scan.This process will take some time. There is a system repair pending which requires reboot...

Hello, I want to be able to invoke screen saver immediately, without waiting for timeout. I have located the .scr files and made a desktop shortcut to Ribbons.scr. When I double click on it a panel pops up asking me to select an app to open it. None of the apps offered launch the screen...

Contacted AceMoney website. They aske me to find the .amj data file. When found, the old computer name was part of the file's pathname. So problem solved. All seems to be OK now. I have carefully noted the old name! Thanks for your help. Ken.

I have looked in my MS account. It gives me the old name for my computer before I upgraded to windows 11 pro. This name is NOT the same as that given in the Registry Editor, also does not look anything like I recall. It also does not work. The app that is objecting to the new name is...

Hello, My recently purchased PC came with computer name; DESKTOP-K******** For simpicity, I recently changed it to just DESKTOP I did not make a note of the old name, and cannot recall what the ******* were. Now one of my programs insists I must enter the previous name before it will launch...

I fixed the File Explorer title bar issue by installing a third party patch: It is ExplorerPatcher, from Valinet solutions SRL product version 22000.795.48.2

Well that is odd; I was pretty sure the active file explorer used to have a green title bar. I guess I must be imagining it! Thank you anyway. Ken.

Hi, Under Setting > Personalize > Colors, I have set Accent color to Manual, and selected a nice shade of green. I have set the "Show accent color on title bars and windows borders" to "On". My chosen color duly appears on the border of the active window every time, i.e. when I click on a...

Hi All, Latest info: I have done the In-Place Upgrade described by Ghot; retained my files and apps. Problem is now RESOLVED (Hurrah!); at least for the moment. Reboot without updates is OK; I have not yet tried updates and reboot. I will make a new complete backup first. System>About now...
