Hi,

Yes...SFC usually terminates around 18% but every so often it will run to completion.

The CBS.log file is mostly gibberish even as windows gibberish logs go.....

When SFC completes, it has made no difference.


There must be some simple registry item that is messed up.  The Windows File Sharing property sheet (as executed by the Advanced File Sharing Button) is not well documented.


Thanks again.

Hi,

Windows media player Networking has a long sad history, if memory serves, of flooding LAN with crap packets.

Don't know if they ever did fix that issue.

Also, check your PC for junkware like conduit, and such.... Its a huge problem.  Doesn't get flagged as malware or virus, but it can bring your pc to a crawl just the same.

Hi,

I think you misunderstood me....  I already had a second partition that I only use for occasional testing; so its a very basic install of win 7 pro on my D: drive.  This is the registry I exported to test with.

My C: drive is my main Win 7 Pro install....this is the one I am having this issue with.

When I imported the entire registry from my "clean" D: install, it fixed the issue with the Advanced Sharing Button.  It was when I rebooted the PC and tried to get back into the C: drive install is when the anticipated registry hang happened.  I did the Repair Windows in an effort to do a system restore, but the Start-up Repair off the DVD, NOT a reinstall got me back into my C: drive, but the "Class Not Registered" error came back .

I can only conclude, as you have suggested, that some place in the registry holds the key/subkey that controls the action of the advanced sharing button.

Question is, how does one find the key ?


Thanks again for your help !!

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.

I have 2 other user accounts, and
both show the same behavior. One is older
and the other is about a week old.

Hi,

So last night I got antsy about this problem.....   I created a system restore point, then I exported my entired registry, and then I rebooted into my other win 7 "clean" partition I have for testing things and exported its entire registry.

Then I rebooted back into my normal partition, the one with this issue, and imported the entire registry from the clean partition.....  Stupid yes, but it was the only way to see if I could fix this odd issue without a re-install.

Amazingly, it fixed the problem....  well that is until I restarted and tried to go back into this partition.....  Not unexpected, I could not get into it, even in safe mode....

Restarted off my Win7 DVD and ran Startup repair & restore....took it quite a while, but when I came back, it had put my partition back into a bootable condition.  However my odd issue had returned.....

grrrrrr.....

Hi,

VERY odd issue.

Windows 7 Pro
Using Advanced Sharing Button when trying to Share a Folder (normal Sharing works ok) I get a popup saying:
"Your administrator has blocked you from running this program" and in smaller test it says  "Class Not Registered"

Normally, when you click the Advanced Sharing button here, it opens the manual "Advanced Sharing" sharing window, NOT to be confused with the Network & Sharing Center Advanced Sharing page...

I know it used to work, so I must have done something in my recent tweakings to mess this up.

1) System restore doesn't go back far enough to correct this.
2) I would rather not do a re-install.
3) I can not re-register NTSHRUI.dll as it errors out about an entry point or some such, presuming this is the DLL that is executed when you click the Advanced Sharing button.
4) All the googling I have done has not turned up any useful info, other than my own post in Technet Forums.

5) Related or not, SFC /scannow chronically terminates at 18%

6) The rest of windows seems to run pretty well.

Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance !!
