There are a few ways to fix it, including deactivating User Account Control (UAC) or logging in as the Administrator user (and not a regular user with Administrator privileges), but the method I chose to handle it was the following. I chose this method because it didn’t not open any needless security risks such as turning off UAC and I didn’t feel like logging into another user.

1. Open Administrative Tools
2. Open Local Security Settings
3. Click on Software Restriction Policies
4. If there are no software restrictions defined, right click on Restriction Policies and
   select New Software Restriction Policy
5. Double click on the new enforcement and select All Users Except Local Administrators
6. Click OK
7. Reboot your computer and run the installer again

Download MSINET.OCX

After you have downloaded the file, you can either place it in your C:\Windows\System32 (or C:\Windows\SysWow64 on an x64 system) and register it there or you may want to put it directly into your application’s directory and create a .local file so that the application does not look beyond it’s own folder for the file.

To register the file, open up command prompt (Win+R then cmd) and enter:

regsvr32 "C:\Windows\System32\MSINET.OCX"

If you are going to use the .local file, just create an empty text file in that directory with the same name as your application but a .local extension appended. So for example if you had a file called “MyApp.exe” you would create an empty text file called “MyApp.exe.local” Make sure if you have hidden extensions that it is not secretely adding “.txt” to the end of the file name.

Failed to start monitoring changes to [...] because access is denied 

I figured it was because I had shared the page and IIS must not like that, so I unshared it expecting that to resolve the issue — it did not. From there I dug through many pages of Google results all telling me to make sure the files weren’t marked Read Only and to make sure the ASPNET user had permissions. Interestingly enough such a user did not exist on my machine, possibly due to a different version of IIS or the fact that I do not have Visual Studio.net installed on that system.

It wasn’t until I compared permissions with another web folder that still worked that I spotted the difference. One had permission granted access to “Authenticated Users” and given it Modify permissions. After following these steps I was once again able to serve pages:

1. Right Click the Virtual Directory in IIS
2. Click “Edit Permissions…”
3. Select the Security Tab
4. Click the Edit button
5. Click the Add button
6. Type “Authenticated Users” †
7. Click the Check Names button to ensure that it recognizes the name
8. Click OK
9. Ensure the Modify checkbox is checked
10. Click OK until all remaining popup windows are closed

† If a name is not recognized it will pop up a “Name Not Found” box, whereas if it is recognized it will prefix it with your computer name and underline it (e.g.: fettesps\username).
If Authenicated Users is not recognized as a user, try ASPNET instead, which is what most guides suggested (but did not work for me).

After making these changes you should now be able to access your site again. If not, please consult Microsoft’s Knowledge Base article for more possible solutions.

1. Launch iTunes
2. On the left menu go to iTunes Store
3. Click Sign In on the top right and enter your account information
4. Again, click the Account button (your e-mail address appears as the button), re-enter your password
5. Click View Account
6. Click Deauthorize All

Now you can reauthorize your account and finally get around to transferring those purchases or downloading some podcats on your iPhone.

Windows has blocked access to these files to help protect your computer

Puzzled, I tried again, and got the same error. I knew it wasn’t a virus scanner blocking it, since the zip I was trying to extract was the virus scanning utility that I was trying to install. I found this very ironic, despite how frustrating it was. After a few minutes of research I discovered that it was a very simple fix.

• Right Click the file in question
• Click Properties
• Click Unblock

Problem solved!

First and foremost, insert a blank DVD into the computer’s drive as this will be the disc used for your repairs. Click on the Start icon and type the words “system repair disc” into the appropriate search box. This will immediately open up a new window. Once the window is opened, you will need to select the proper drive and also select the Create Disc function. Once you do this, the process will start automatically and the disc will be formatted so that it may be used as a boot disc.

Should you find yourself unable to boot Windows 7, you will now have the ability to boot off the System Repair Disc and either repair it or if you are unable to do so you will at least be able to backup your files before installing a fresh copy of Windows 7. Yes, it is as simple as that!

Go to the task bar and right click on it. This will reveal several of options and you will want to select the Tool Bar menu. Once you do this, you will have the option of clicking on New Tool Bar. Upon doing this, the next step will entail locating the particular folder you are most interested in. Obviously, in this case, you would be looking towards the My Computer icon. When you find it, select it and then click on the Select Folder option.

As soon as you do this, you will immediate see the My Computer folder directly in the task bar. As soon as it is in the taskbar, you can access with little more than a simple click. From this, you can then access all the many different subfolders in your computer with relative ease. Why fish around for your My Computer folder when you can just locate it on the task bar? Again, the process is easy and worth taking the time out to perform.

With that being said, you can quickly re-enable Telnet by following these steps:

Desktop Preview is a new feature in Windows 7 which is otherwise also known as AeroPeak (Desktop Preview is a feature enabled by Aero Peek desktop enhancement function). Desktop Preview allows user to temporarily minimize all open windows and make open windows transparent in order to preview what is on desktop when user place the mouse pointer to mouse over the “Show Desktop” bar on the far right end of the taskbar.

Illustration above shows the effect of Desktop Preview, where user mouse over the Show Desktop (without actually clicking on it) on the far end of the Windows Taskbar.

• Right click on the Start button and click on Properties
• Select the Taskbar tab
• Uncheck the Use Desktop Preview checkbox
• Click OK

Desktop Preview is now disabled. If you would like to re-enable it, simply follow the same steps again making sure to check the Desktop Preview option this time.
