    Why does this not work


    I have a .reg and bat file that I thought used to work but doesn't work right any more. It only works if I shift+right click on a file, but not on a directory.


    AddisItaLink.reg:
    I've merged the reg file into the registry:

    C:\Users\ztruk>rq HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\isLink
    ECHO is on.

    C:\Users\ztruk>reg query "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\isLink"

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\isLink
    (Default) REG_SZ Is This a Link
    Extended REG_SZ

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\isLink\command

    C:\Users\ztruk>rq HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\isLink\command
    ECHO is on.

    C:\Users\ztruk>reg query "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\isLink\command"

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\isLink\command
    (Default) REG_SZ "C:\rexxprogs\isItaLink.bat" "%1"
    C:\rexxprogs\isItaLink.bat

  2. Edge Search Does Not Permit Change of Region


    I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
    We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.
    I would suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.
    Step 1:
    Clear browsing data option of Microsoft Edge and check if you face the issue. To do so perform the steps below.

    1. Click on the More actions icon next to the feedback icon present on top right corner of the Project Spartan homepage.
    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.
    Step 2:
    I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.
    5. Click on Finish.
    6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.

  3. Windows 10 infinite restart black screen


    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
