MSC files won't open
MSC files won't open
Hi,
I was ummm.... playing around with permissions and administrative shares on my work pc (XP Pro) and now I can't open .msc files. When I try to run them (services.msc, compmgmt.msc, iis.msc, etc.), I get a message stating that the file cannot be opened and do I want to choose the program or do I want XP to search on the web for the program. I checked in the Folder Options and .msc files are still associated with Microsoft Common Console documents. I am able to access mmc and am able to add snap-ins but have to create a new console everytime because the it saves as a msc file (doh!) Does anybody out there know how I can fix this?
Thanks,
Makila
Solution: MSC files won't open
Try start, run, mmc c:\windows\system32\compmg
mt.msc
If this works its your file associations and you can fix that in Explorer, Tools, Folder Options, File Types....
