How to fix the vbscript error "There is no file extension in..."

Have you ever seen this error on windows XPE-based thin clients?
The actual script path is "c:\script with spaces in the name.vbs"



Here's the fix.

copy this code and paste it into a blank text file. Save it as whatever.reg and then double click on it to enter the contents into the registry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VBSFile\Shell\Open\Command]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\WScript.exe \"%1\""

Solution: How to stop the Dymo LabelWriter registration reminder (updated to version 8.7.4)

I use my LabelWriter on a lot of different computers, and I have clients who share their LabelWriter on a network with multiple computers. Installing the software is no issue, however my clients and myself are getting tired of being nagged to register our LabelWriters every single day. There is currently no option to simply "don't remind me again to register" which seems like it should be an obvious addition. There is only an option to "register later", but by later they mean tomorrow. It seemed like the only option to get rid of this nag screen was to proceed with registration. Until I got so fed up with it that I decided to find out how to override this reminder. This should work with any LabelWriter printer.



If you want to never see this screen again without registering, do the following:

save this text as dymonag.reg and double-click to run it.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\DYMO\DLS8]
"Initialized"=dword:00000001

Start up DLS and it should not nag you any more.

 I welcome your feedback.
