- cannot find files with msc ext
- Posted by bahri on November 17th, 2005
Hi all !
Lately I tried to run the Services console which I was using with no problem
some time ago and I got the error below
==========================================
Windows cannot find 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.msc'. Make sure you
typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click
the Start button, and then click Search.
=================================
Now services.msc is there ok, in fact I get the same error even if I double
click services.msc in explorer.
This is also the case with all system file with the msc extension like
gpedit.msc
I tried a few things but I'm stuck.
Any help appreciated
Thanks all
bahri

Check your Path environment variable.
Start, Run (Type) Cmd [Enter]

Be sure the path string includes C:\Windows\System32

Hi
That's what you should get. Can you open Windows Explorer and go to
Tools>Folder Options>File Types. Scroll down to the .MSC, click on that
entry then select Advanced>Open>Edit. What do you see in the 'Application
to perform action' box? Please don't alter anything in there for the moment
though.

I have also made Open to be the defaualt action (Then it turned bold).

difference
