| Jan 25, 2016 at 0:52 | comment | added | Ben N | @fixer1234 Yeah, that makes sense. We should probably reopen superuser.com/q/490421/380318 and close the current target as a dupe thereof. I have voted accordingly. | |
| Jan 25, 2016 at 0:50 | comment | added | fixer1234 | It's just that if we're going to refer people to a "canonical" thread, there are some characteristics that make a good one and some that are less than ideal, especially for non-technical users. Latter category: sending people to a thread with a single answer if it is one they can mess up with serious consequences. It's a second strike when it contains indications that don't engender confidence, like a disclaimer that it's dangerous plus it might not work, and a comment that it didn't. But that may be just me. Perhaps it would help to add an explanatory comment with context on the answer. | |
| Jan 24, 2016 at 23:24 | comment | added | Ben N | @fixer1234 I think it didn't work at first because the OP saved it as a .bat instead of a .reg, which clearly won't work. That solution is just as dangerous as any Registry modification. | |
| Jan 24, 2016 at 23:23 | comment | added | fixer1234 | The only issue I had with the question you picked as the "original" was that it has only one answer, and that had a potentially "dangerous" solution, with the boldface disclaimer, "Use at your OWN risk! There is no guarantee that this will work!"., and the first comment by the OP was that it didn't work. | |
