Solution for the txt extension: Access denied.

Sometimes after the installation of some software or application or maybe due to the system crash the extension of some file will be disregarded. I am not so sure but it maybe happen due to some virus, spywares, malwares, Trojans etc. And I'm not so sure again which is the reason for these malfunctions. Although I've faced this problem myself in my own pc. And sometime my notepad file extension does not work properly. And when i want that file to open then the following error occurs in my screen.

So, i would like to share the solution to all of the visitors. I hope you visitors may follow this instruction if such problem is happening with your pc or laptop too. And i'm giving this instruction for the Windows Xp users and can also be used in Vista and other OS.

Modify .exe Files And Crack A Program

1) Don't try to modify a prog by editing his source in a dissasembler.Why?Couse that's for programmers and assembly experts only. If any of you dumb kidstry to view it in hex you'll only get tons of crap you don't understand.First off, you need Resource Hacker(last version).It's a resource editor-very easy to use.
Resource Hacker Version 3.4.0CODEhttp://delphi.icm.edu.pl/ftp/tools/ResHack.zip/
Help FileCODEhttp://www.users.on.net/johnson/resourceha...eshack_hlp.zip/
*************************************************************************************2)Unzip the archive, and run ResHacker.exe. You can check out the help file too,if you want to be a guru.*********************************************************
3)You will see that the interface is simple and clean. Go to the menu File\Open orpress Ctrl+O to open a file. Browse your way to the file you would like to edit.You can edit *.exe, *.dll, *.ocx, *.scr and *.cpl files, but this tutorial is mentto teach you how to edit *.exe files, so open one.*********************************************************************************
4)In the left side of the screen a list of sections will appear.The most common sections are: -Icon;-String table;-RCData;-Dialog;-Cursor group;-Bitmap;-WAV.*Icon: You can wiew and change the icon(s) of the program by double-clicking the icon section,chossing the icon, right-clicking on it an pressing "replace resource". After that you can choose the icon you want to replace the original with.*String table: a bunch of crap, useful sometimes, basic programming knowladge needed.*RCData: Here the real hacking begins. Modify window titles, buttons, text, and lots more!*Dialog:Here you can modify the messages or dialogs that appear in a program. Don't forgetto press "Compile" when you're done!*Cursor group: Change the mouse cursors used in the program just like you would change the icon.*Bitmap: View or change images in the programs easy!*WAV:Change the sounds in the prog. with your own.*************************************************************************************
5) In the RCData,Dialog,Menu and String table sections you can do a lot of changes. You canmodify or translate the text change links, change buttons, etc.*************************************************************************************
TIP: To change a window title, search for something like: CAPTION "edit this".TIP: After all operations press the "Compile Script" button, and when you're done editing saveyour work @ File\Save(Save as).TIP: When you save a file,the original file will be backed up by default and renamed to Name_original and the savedfile will have the normal name of the changed prog.TIP: Sometimes you may get a message like: "This program has a non-standard resource layout... it has probably been compressed with an .EXE compressor." That means that Resource Hacker can't modify it becouse of it's structure.
Remember! This is only a small example of what you can do to executables with Resource Hacker.

Converting to NTFS

Your hard drive must be formatted with a file system such as FAT, FAT32 or NTFS so that Windows can be installed on to it. This system determines how files are named, organised and stored on the drive. If you're not using it already, NTFS (New Technology File System) is recommended for Windows XP because of the additional functionality it offers. If your PC came with Windows XP pre-installed then there's a chance that you're already using NTFS. If you've upgraded from Windows 98 or Windows Me you may still be using FAT or FAT 32. The option to change over to NTFS would have been available during the upgrade process. Don't worry if you skipped this as it's possible to convert at any time from within Windows XP without losing any data.

The recommended option

There are a number of features in Windows XP that will only work if the NTFS file system is present, which is why it's suggested you make use of it. File and folder permissions, encryption and privacy options are just some of those you'll be able to access. In particular, those of you who have set up user accounts will find NTFS invaluable. For instance, if you continue to use FAT or FAT32 anyone with physical access to the drive will be able to access the files and folders that are stored there. However, with NTFS you'll be able to use a level of encryption (Professional Edition only) that will enable you to protect your data.

You'll also find NTFS more reliable in that it's more able to recover from disk errors than its FAT or FAT32 counterparts. A log of all disk activity is kept so should a crash occur, Windows XP can use this information to repair the file system when your PC boots up again. To find out what file system you're using, open My Computer, right-click your main hard drive and choose Properties. Take a look at the General tab to see confirmation of the file system that's in use.

Convert now

You can use the convert tool in Windows XP to change the file system on your hard disk from FAT or FAT32 to NTFS. The whole process is safe and your existing data won't be destroyed. To begin, click Start -> Run, type cmd and press [Return]. At the command prompt type convert c: /fs:ntfs and press [Return] (where 'c' is the letter of the drive you're converting). When you try and run the convert utility, it's likely that Windows XP will be using your paging file so the process won't be completed immediately. Therefore, you'll see a brief message on screen informing you that the conversion will take place instead the next time Windows starts up. Having restarted, the Check Disk utility will run, the conversion will be performed automatically and you may find that your PC will reboot twice more.

The benefits

With your drive now running NTFS, it's time to take advantage of the new options that are available. Having created a number of different user accounts you can now control the level of access that's granted to individual users. For example, there are going to be certain files and folders that you'll want some users to be able to access but not others. If you have Windows XP Professional Edition you can do this immediately.


Right-click any file or folder, choose Properties and select the Security tab. A dialog will be displayed showing the names of all your users. Alongside will be two columns which enable you to select levels of access for each of them, the permissions include Full Control, Modify, Read and Write. You can then check the appropriate box to determine whether or not to Allow or Deny a particular permission. For Windows XP Home Edition users, the Security tab won't be immediately available. To access this option you'll need to restart your PC, pressing [F8] until a menu appears. Next select Safe Mode and wait for Windows XP to start up. You can then set your options in the same way.

Another feature is NTFS compression. It's quick and seamless as your file or folder is decompressed automatically when you access it. (Don't confuse this with a Zip compression utility where the files need to be extracted before they can be accessed.) Although you may have used NTFS compression on a file or folder, there's no way of telling just by looking at it. To remedy this, open My Computer, click Tools -> Folder Options and select the View tab. Under Advanced settings, scroll down and check the option 'Show encrypted or compressed NTFS files in color', then click Apply and OK. Take a look at your compressed items in My Computer and you'll see the text label has changed from black to blue. Something else that's exclusive to Professional Edition users is the Encrypting File System (EFS). You can use this to protect your important data so that no one else can read it. Your encrypted files and folders will only be accessible when you have logged into your user account successfully.

Add/Remove optional features of Windows XP

To dramatically expand the list of applications you can remove from Windows XP after installation, navigate to C:\WINDOWS\inf (substituting the correct drive letter for your version of Windows) and open the sysoc.inf file. Under Windows XP Professional Edition RC1, this file will resemble the following by default:
[Version] Signature = "$Windows NT$"DriverVer=06/26/2001,5.1.2505.0
[Components]NtComponents=ntoc.dll,NtOcSetupProc,,4WBEM=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,wbemoc.inf,hide,7Display=desk.cpl,DisplayOcSetupProc,,7Fax=fxsocm.dll,FaxOcmSetupProc,fxsocm.inf,,7NetOC=netoc.dll,NetOcSetupProc,netoc.inf,,7iis=iis.dll,OcEntry,iis.inf,,7com=comsetup.dll,OcEntry,comnt5.inf,hide,7dtc=msdtcstp.dll,OcEntry,dtcnt5.inf,hide,7IndexSrv_System = setupqry.dll,IndexSrv,setupqry.inf,,7TerminalServer=TsOc.dll, HydraOc, TsOc.inf,hide,2msmq=msmqocm.dll,MsmqOcm,msmqocm.inf,,6ims=imsinsnt.dll,OcEntry,ims.inf,,7fp_extensions=fp40ext.dll,FrontPage4Extensions,fp40ext.inf,,7AutoUpdate=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,au.inf,hide,7msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7msnexplr=ocmsn.dll,OcEntry,msnmsn.inf,,7smarttgs=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,msnsl.inf,,7RootAutoUpdate=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,rootau.inf,,7Games=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,games.inf,,7AccessUtil=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,accessor.inf,,7CommApps=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,communic.inf,HIDE,7MultiM=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,multimed.inf,HIDE,7AccessOpt=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,optional.inf,HIDE,7Pinball=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,pinball.inf,HIDE,7MSWordPad=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,wordpad.inf,HIDE,7ZoneGames=zoneoc.dll,ZoneSetupProc,igames.inf,,7
[Global]WindowTitle=%WindowTitle%WindowTitle.StandAlone="*"
The entries that include the text hide or HIDE will not show up in Add/Remove Windows Components by default. To fix this, do a global search and replace for ,hide and change each instance of this to , (a comma). Then, save the file, relaunch Add/Remove Windows Components, and tweak the installed applications to your heart's content.
Cool, eh? There are even more new options now under "Accessories and Utilities" too.

Add album art to any music folder

One of the coolest new features in Windows XP is its album thumbnail generator, which automatically places the appropriate album cover art on the folder to which you are copying music (generally in WMA format). But what about those people that have already copied their CDs to the hard drive using MP3 format? You can download album cover art from sites such as cdnow.com or amguide.com, and then use the new Windows XP folder customize feature to display the proper image for each folder. But this takes time--you have to manually edit the folder properties for every single folder--and you will lose customizations if you have to reinstall the OS. There's an excellent fix, however.
When you download the album cover art from the Web, just save the images as folder.jpg each time and place them in the appropriate folder. Then, Windows XP will automatically use that image as the thumbnail for that folder and, best of all, will use that image in Windows Media Player for Windows XP (MPXP) if you choose to display album cover art instead of a visualization. And the folder customization is automatic, so it survives an OS reinstallation as well. Your music folders never looked so good!
Album cover art makes music folder thumbnails look better than ever!
Change the location of the My Music or My Pictures folders.
