REGISTRY KEY WILL NOT ALLOW
ACCESS OR DELETE?
psexec -i -d -s c:\windows\regedit.exe
psexec is available from Microsoft here
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx
This gave me full access to the registry. You should
definitely be careful with this sort of access.
1. Move PsExec.exe into a folder called PSTools. Locate it under C:\, so it
should be C:\PSTools.
2. Create a new text file called "PsExec.bat"
3. Open the file in Notepad, and enter the following information, and save it:
C:\PSTools\psexec.exe -i -d -s c:\windows\regedit.exe
pause
4. Close Notepad, then right click on the new Batch file, and click "Run as
Administrator".
It will open a special REGEDIT program for use.

RIVA TURBO X BLUETOOTH
CONNECTION PROBLEMS
I tried everything I could think of - rebooting computer and Riva,
uninstalling bluetooth driver, reinstalling, updating Bluetooth from computer
manufacturer...and finally found this after RIVA began bluetooth connection with
very poor sound quality:
When 8.1 computer connects, right click the speaker icon near clock, playback
devices, scroll down and you see the RIVA connects as
a telephone with very poor sound quality. Click the hands-free device,
properties, advanced and you see the very low telephone quality
frequency response.
Pick the RIVA TURBO X STEREO as default device, and the sound immediately
becomes high fidelity. Click properties, Advanced and
you can see the connection frequency response. While in the properties, you can
see that you can change the Name of the Device, and
change the icon from headphones to a speaker icon. Also, choose the Riva Turbo X
Stereo as the DEFAULT device!
Then I tried to remove unused Bluetooth devices in windows settings, but they
wouldnt allow to be deleted.
To remove unused Bluetooth devices that will not remove in bluetooth Settings:
Click on Start, Right-click on Computer or This PC, and select Properties.
Click on Advanced system settings from the left-side panel.
Click on Environment Variables button.
Now under the User variables for box, click on New. And enter:
devmgr_show_nonpresent_device
in the Variable Name field. Enter:
1
Click Device Manager and select View > Show hidden devices, all the ghosted
devices will be shown with their icons faded away.
In Device Manager, click UNINSTALL to delete all the ghost entries...do every
one that shows greyed out (ghosted).

CAN'T DELETE A WIN 10 REGISTRY ENTRY?
- even after successfully
getting the registry entries
permissions to change? -
Download
just this program PSExec
which is part of Windows
Sysinternals PsTools - get
just the small program here:
PsExec
Then this is the command to
run in an elevated cmd
prompt...I used:
psexec -s
-i regedit
This is a very powerful
program that allows you to
edit the registry from the
System Account which is way
above the Admiinistrator.
(It can also be very
dangerous as well)
Many, many times in the past
I have struggled with
difficult registry keys and
spent hours trying to find
ways to edit or delete them.
I ran it from the elevated
cmd prompt and it never
failed when I deleted bad
keys. Just be certain the
file psexec is in the proper
path...I put it in C:/

Difference between Incremental and Differential Backups
--->
Incremental backups: <---Use this!
Day >>> | Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday | Sunday |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Backup Type >>> | Full | Incremental | Incremental | Incremental | Incremental | Incremental | Incremental | Full |
Effect >>> | N/A | Changes since Sunday | Changes since Monday | Changes since Tuesday | Changes since Wednesday | Changes since Thursday | Changes since Friday | N/A |
These examples assumes that backups are done daily. Otherwise,
the “Changes since” entry must be modified to refer to the last backup (whether
such last backup was full or incremental).
It also assumes a weekly
rotation.
Day >>> | Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday | Sunday |
