Hello there fellas.
Here's what I wish to do:
I want all .docx files to open with MS Word 2007 as Administrator (runas).
I haven't figured out how to do it yet.
How do I do this? File Options? HKCR? PPE?
Why do I want to do this? Well, I have a bblean shell and it covers all of my Office buttons on top of Office2007 apps.. running as Administrator will bring back the normal Windows shell (explorer.exe) and thus I can see my buttons again.
What I have figured out is: how to run MS Word 2007 as Administrator (that's quite simple, just add runas /user:xyz\abcomputer /savecred)

Why not just go to word's file properties and check "Run this program as an administrator"?
-
I don't really see what you mean.
I don't find fields to change it.
You can only change it if it's a shortcut.
-
Not true...you can change the .exe as well...
-
Different program. Same idea.

Every time I start VB6, regardless of HOW I start it- even if I double-click a vbp file or module or what-have-you, it starts under the admin account.
-
Why do you show a Vista/Win7 screenshot when this is an XP subforum?
Or am I wrong?
I don't have that option and I'm on XP Pro SP3 with bblean shell.

Hmm, quite right, sorry about that.
Best I can come up with, is changin the actual association to use runas;
I was able to get it working for text files in my VM program; I changed tje registry association to:
runas /env /user:%COMPUTERNAME%\Administrator "\"%SystemRoot%\system32\NOTEPAD.EXE\" \"%1\""
so, for Word, you could probably change the key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Word.Document.12\shell\Open\command 's default value to
runas /env /user:%COMPUTERNAME%\Administrator "\"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12\WINWORD.EXE" /n /dde\"
here is a registry script that should do just that:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Word.Document.12\shell\Open\command]
@="runas /env /user:%COMPUTERNAME%\Administrator \"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Office\\Office12\\WINWORD.EXE\" /n /dde"
I'm uncertain how runas will interoperate with DDE... you might need to tack:
\"%1\"
in place of /dde
Hope this helps some. Sorry for the confusion re: Vista/XP.

Nice, but the path was not correct.
I know, I'm smart enough to figure it out. ;P
I find "C:\Progam Files" a lame path.
I use "g:\appz" and stuff like that.
Even using the correct path, sadly it didn't work..
The bblean shell took over.
What kind of weird value is this for the 'command' key? ..
vUpAVX!!!!!!!!!MKKSkWORDFiles>tW{~$4Q]c@5d1`,xaTO5 /n /dde
and my ddexec key has the value:
[REM _DDE_Direct][FileOpen("%1")]
Strange..
-
You're infected...

ignore the command key- it's unused.
Additionally, that "weird" value is inserted by several cracks/pirate copies of 2007.
-
Or perhaps that 'weird' part is an octal/hexadecimal/other system translation to ASCII.
Doesn't mean it's infected.
A reply like that coming front a moderator.. I don't mean offense, but that was a bit noobish.
So, what's the solution, since this one doesn't appear to work?
-
Treval, you're the one that's coming over, not exactly 'noobish', but certainly 'dorkish'. People are good enough to try to help you and you throw their efforts back in their faces with snarky remarks. You are infected. Being in denial about it and moreover being discourteous to the people who told you is not exactly going to get you a flood of help on here.
Just my 2 cents worth.
-
How can I be infected if I've thoroughly scanned with NOD32 and Norton Internet Security and they both say I don't have any infections?
Perhaps some malware scans too?
-

So you've got 2 AVs running?
BTW, AVs don't pick up everything - that's why you'll never see a "100% detection rate".
-
No, I don't have 2 AV's running, however I have NOD32 with advanced heuristics and everything set.
NOD32 is the best AV out there, I've read the reviews/charts. It's also used by my college's WLAN admins.
The Norton Security Scan was that online scan.
It usually detects 1 more virus than NOD32 (probably because it's in RECLYCER, I don't know).
Anyway, now I'm scanning with MalwareBytes & SpyBotSD.
I must say my laptop runs smooth and nice so I have no problems.
It's hardly cookie/*ware infested. In fact, it's not.
I have a firewall that blocks cookies and I block all domains except those I accept.
I have adblock plus, noscript for firefox, hostsman.
I have to say I'm pretty well protected.
In my opinion it's too much of a hassle to be running 5 different products to know if you're 100% clean.
It's just a waste of my time.. I have other things to do..
-
Have it your way.
But if "vUpAVX!!!!!!!!!MKKSkWORDFiles>tW{~$4Q]c@5d1`,xaTO5 /n /dde" is just some weird ASCII translation, then I have to say that you have no idea what you're talking about.
-
May be relevant. Read them all.
2 possibilities I have found:
1. Virus
Weird strings similar to the one quoted - virus, origin Russian Federation.Cure ? ? ?

2. Identical string to one quoted, supposed by some to be leftover reg entry after upgrade from Office 2000 (but could still be virus!)

http://www.vistaheads.com/forums/microsoft-public-windows-vista-general/327747-error-file-office-2007-association-docx-2.html
I solved the problem by deleting the type file .docx with the program Creative Elements Power Tools*. After this cancellation all files .docx are now associated with Microsoft Word
Even if this appears to clear the problem, I would still do a very thorough virus check, as guided by the very good experts in the malware section of Computerhope.
If this works I want a nice "Thank you".
*Not freeware. May be other tools which do the same job. Or evaluation copy (time limited) may do the job for you.
-
Did all scans. Hardly yielded anything.
1 cookie in my whole system. ROFL
Anyway
-
just delete the f-ing things manually. they only appear 5 or 6 times.
the command key is not used by anything anyway. And additionally I have the same weird key myself.
-
Excuse me but that cuss word really degraded the quality of your post.
I'm going to ask the admins if cursing is against forum rules.
It's certainly not pleasant to read.
-
Just to make it easy for you, here are the rules: http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,58736.0.html
By the way, technically, "f-ing" could have meant "fecking", which was recently introduced into the English dictionary.

It could also have meant "freaking", common I believe in North America, which I find much more annoying than the word it is supposed to stand in for. Treval, you seem to have a certain, shall I say, attitude, which I fear will do you no good on here.
It's certainly not pleasant to read.

Reported.
By the way kpac, why are you trying to cover up for that guy?
You could show some intelligence, for example:
If he meant to write a normal accepted word, why did he censor it?
Censored words are cuss words.
I am 100% sure he didn't mean 'fecking'.
'-' doesn't stand for omission, * does.
'-' is used to couple words together (e.g. "part-crunching", "bone-clicking").
If It did, it would be f- - - - ing (each - replacing a character).
When one curses, **** is used.
However he did not, he wrote only one -.
Either way, that kind of writing causes me grief, which is against the forum rules.
You think I'm dumb don't you?
Of course I read the forum rules before I made accusations.
I read them all carefully.
Fact is, the language he wrote was intentionally censored,
so don't try to cover him up.
I find this a very unfair way of treating forum users who have valid complaints.
Also, Salmon, you can join my ignore. ;)
I don't tolerate users who break the rules and are not friendly.
Moderators, see here:

post 270: obnoxious; rude
Q. "And you never will while you keep posting nonsense."
Clearly this guy is nothing but an obnoxious Brit, most people don't like him because
of his arrogance and his obnoxious nature.
I don't want anything to do with this guy and if I was an admin, he would be banned.
Also, arithmetics are difficult. Don't come talk about your 9 year old nephew.
When I was 9, I could do + and -, not more.
It was already difficult for me.
I could do arithmetics when I was 21.
By this I therefor stand,
Treval

Look, the fact is that this is a public forum on the wide open Internet. If you are offended by such small things, then a public forum on the wide open Internet is not for you.

Nice going moderator.
No offense to you but I believe you are not doing your basic administrative tasks well.
A person has been rude more than once and you are being lazy by not checking it up.
I don't understand this.
Also there are "family friendly forums" on the internet.
The fact remains that it was against the rules, Salmon also broke the rules and you do nothing about it.

And yet you have no idea what you are talking about. "Web moderator" means that I am moderator of the Web Design forum only, so I do not have full moderative abilities.

Who's being rude and obnoxious now? Now you're just as bad as they are. Whatever about being rude, that is a racist remark.

There are two sides to every story. This is something we both disagree on and that's the way it is.
just delete the f-ing things manually. they only appear 5 or 6 times.
the command key is not used by anything anyway. And additionally I have the same weird key myself.
BC_Programming reacted in this way because of your attitude. At least 4 people have told you that you more than likely have a malware related problem. You said "no, I've done my scans". We told you it's not enough. So in other words, you are not talking our advice. Yeah, you may have asked a question and not gotten an answer you'd like, but you should still follow our advice. You came here for help didn't you?
Also, most of those posts you quoted "abuse" from have nothing to do with you so stay clear from them.
-
I scanned, I followed every single step on the spyware forum.
Yes, I had only 1 cookie on my system.
Everything was ok.
Right, I try to help the community by ridding it of bad people and you tell me to stay out
instead of thanking me for that half an hour I just spent trying to show proof of his misbehavior
and obnoxiousness.
Well, I won't listen to you anymore.
You do not fulfill the tasks of being a moderator.
Bye.
-
Oh dear! I feel as if I have been flayed alive and then rubbed all over with salt! Wow, Treval, you sure made a big post there! Top marks for research! if you look for the users "Dias de Verano" and "Contrex", you can find a lot more, I think.
Clearly this guy is nothing but an obnoxious Brit
I wonder if that is ethnic abuse. You wouldn't like it if I called you a "Belgian chocolate" would you?
-
I'm guessing Treval is someone we all know under a different name.
-
Since it seems the complaint is a lack of moderation...
