Recycle.reg by Surferdude No Answers required.

Have an answer sorry to bother you. Please delete this.

In a previous message you said:

"Since the above was compiled under duress to answer a specific need and to replace a specific earlier file that was removed, I will offer an alternative to doing all that work yourself. I now offer a Regfile to download and run or run from the download site. Either way it will do all of the above and a little more to ensure that your Recycle Bin registry script is put in proper order in one easy execution.Get BinRepair.reg here. "

I tried your "Script 2 regentry" fixes in a previuous msg and deleted one registry key using RBKeydelete.reg script but recycle.reg would not be accepted.
Please elp me get my Recyle Bin back.

Thank you

 

The hosting service went from "free" to "pay me" so I moved the BinRepair.reg file to a different host. It's now available at BinRepairRegFile in case anyone needs it.

Link to original thread about the problem

 

Hi Surferdude2,
A while back, you gave me a link for a boot.ini floppy that would allow me to select which partition I wanted to start my computer on. I want to make a copy for my son, but I have been unable to copy this floppy. I believe one of these was the link for it, but neither work. Maybe it is just that everything has gone to your new host. Please supply me with a new link. It is a great tool.
Thanks,
Barry

Hi Barry!

No problem, I'll include a zipped iso in case you want to make a boot CD as well.



BootIniEdit

XP2P3DbootFloppy Creator

XP2P3DbootCD creatorISO

And as an afterthought, here's a zipped ISO file to create a boot.ini editing CD:

BootINIeditCD creator

 

Thanks for the new links. Actually, now that I have the names, I was able to locate them on my computer. I do have a couple of questions, though. The new BootIniEdit.exe is 486kb, while my old one was 738kb. What is the difference between the two? Also, your new XP2P3DbootFloppy Creator was labled xpbt2p3d.exe. They are both the same size. I assume that they are the same. Please refresh my memory. Under what conditions would I use one or the other? Thanks for your help.

 

I can't explain that beyond saying that I got the original file from a friend and probably remade it when I changed web hosts. Smaller is better in this case since it works equally well.

My creative juices tend to change from time to time, especially when dealing with assigning titles. I try to keep it intuitive but my definition of that varies depending on what the school of hard knocks has taught me lately. It's the same file and works the same way the other titled one did.

You can use the bootiniedit floppy to boot an NTFS system and edit the boot.ini file in situations where the system is otherwise unbootable due to a corrupt or mis-edited boot.ini file, the latter usually being self inflicted. If has no value on FAT32 systems since you can easily access those file from any ordinary dos boot disk.

You can use the XP2P3D floppy or CD creation to boot an ailing XP system when it has corrupt or missing bootloader files or a corrupt MBR. The boot floppy or CD will supply the necessary bootloader files (boot.ini, ntldr, ntdetect.com) and present a boot menu screen that allows you to select which drive and partition you want to try booting. Due to the nature of these types of boot disks, the MBR is not necessary for the boot process so that can allow booting when the hard drive MBR is corrupt.

That's the basic uses for those items. Used properly, they can be very handy tools for troubleshooting flawed systems. If you make them and keep them handy, you may never need them but if you ever do, they may save your bacon. I suggest you practice using them enough to get familiar with their operation so you're well prepared. Remember the old acronymic adage, "PPPPPP. "

 

Thank you. It works perfectly.
