Notepad++ Error for 64bit - ShellExecute failed (2): Is this command correct?

Cause : It happens when you set Notepad++ to "run as" administrator on Windows 7. Fix: To fix this, you need to manually edit the registry of your system to create a new option in pop-up menu to open files with Notepad++ Step 1 : Delete existing Edit with Notepad++ entry from registry Go into your registry as an administrator (Run -> regedit) and search for notepad++.exe. Find the key under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT that has an entry with the Edit with Notepad++ (or maybe Edit with &Notepad++ ) and delete the entire key. Right click and you should see that you no longer have that option.

fastboot device not deleted in Windows 10? Here is the fix

I was cleaning my closet and found my HTC Incredible S (which I had bought in 2011). I gave the phone some juice for few hours and booted it, surprisingly it was working :) I thought about rooting it and flashing with new rom in market. I searched xda fourm and found this (Cynogen 13 based Rom for Incredible S). I started to flash it. but, my bootloader was still locked. I went to HTCDev to unlock the bootloader. but Fastboot was not able to detect my phone. After 3 hrs of internet searching I found this simple fix. I think this can work with all the android phones. you need to create a registry entry (below) and reboot the system(PC). [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\0BB40FF00100] "SkipBOSDescriptorQuery"=hex:01,00,00,00 after the registry fix, it worked liked a charm. Thanks
