Forums -> UltraMon™ -> system mechanic killed the abilty to run scripts

hi guys!

i was using ultramon's hotkey-scripts function very happily, until i ran system mechanic. after that, whenever i pressed a hotkey, notepad showed up instead of ultramon function.

any idea why this is the case?

Do you have the script code in Notepad, or just a blank window?

Sounds like the default action for .vbs files has been changed to edit instead of open.

To fix this, run regedit.exe, select the key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VBSFile\Shell, then change the (Default) value from Edit back to Open.

hey christian, thanks a million for your help! Much appreciated.

hmmm, i changed the default value to &Open, but then i got:

Failed to execute "c:\program file\ultramon\..."

Any idea why? Thanks a lot man!

That's probably due to the &, the value should be Open, without the &.

Yup, but when i did that, the original problem comes back. hmmm... any other cause?

I'm not sure what would cause this. You could send me a copy of the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VBSFile registry key to support@realtimesoft.com and I'll take a look at it, to export the key right-click it and select Export from the menu to save it to a .reg file.
