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

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.

Right click and you should see that you no longer have that option. Step 2 : Create new entry Open with Notepad++ Go to: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell Create a new key under shell called  OpenWithNotepad  and create a subkey under that called  command . In the  OpenWithNotepad  key the default string is what you want the context menu item to be called. I set it to  Open with Notepad++ . Still in the  OpenWithNotepad  key, create a ne
