| | Cannot open .ini files! I recently got errors regarding .ini files. When I open an .ini file, it gives an error that says that "The filename, directory name, or the volume label syntax in incorrect." Is this a bug? Can you help me? |

| | Re: Cannot open .ini files! Hi, Mart. WHICH .ini file? And how are you trying to open it? Are you trying to Edit it? With Notepad? What is the exact command you are using? Or are you using a series of mouse clicks? RC -- R. C.

It's possible that the file associations for INI file have been messed up. If you right-click an INI file, and use Open With, are you able to open them in Notepad? If that too fails, then open notepad, and drag and drop the INI file onto notepad to open it. |

| | Re: Cannot open .ini files! When I try opening any .ini files, the error always shows up. I Used the commands like double-clicking the file and right-click then "open-with notepad command". "R.

| | Re: Cannot open .ini files! Hi mart, I had the exact same problems as you and although I'm not sure what caused it, my fix was to export the following registry keys from a working machine to the machine with the fault: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\batfile HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\inifile After exporting these registry keys and importing them into the problem machine it started working straight away (right-click, edit=no notepad error) From what I could tell, the only difference between the problem PC and the working machine's registry's were that the working one had the following Binary Value directly beneath it: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\xxxfile\EditFlags = 30 04 00 00 I hope this helps...
