Re: windows can not find compmgmt.msc

your issue, your
file associations may be screwed. You can try repairing the
association
for MSC files. See www.dougknox.com, Win XP Fixes, File Assocation
Fixes.
Download and import the REG file for MSC file associations.

hi, i need to adjust my assigned drives for my external devices, but
when i go to 'control panel/administrative tools/computer management
i
get the message that 'windows cannot open this file' 'compmgmt.msc'.

does anyone know how to fix this and what might have possible caused
this to occur in the first place?

thanks in advance

before. unfortunatley last time i had to resore my computer to a
previous point just after i fixed it. but silly me forgot how to fix
it, and i couldnt even find the web page forum that helped me. so im
back searching for the answer again.
