Solution to corrupt Windows XP Profile

If you encountered “can not load locally stored profile….possible cause of …. insufficient security right or…” when you log into your account of Windows XP. Your profile seems to be corrupted.

Here is a solution you may have a try. I know two successful example with this solution.

Go to your registry editor (Win+R, type regedit, enter)

Follow this path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

You will find a key suffixed by “.bak”.

What you do is to remove the “.bak” (including the dot), and then reboot.

If you are prompted there is an existing name, just rename the existing one to another name. (actually you won’t need it anymore)

Hope it helps.

Open terminal in Nautilus/Explorer/Finder and vice versa

Nautilus, Explorer and Finder are GUI file browsers of Ubuntu, Windows, and Mac OS respectively. No matter under which system, it would be extremely convenient if users can open a terminal with path being the same as location of the file browsers or vice versa. Here I show the ways of doing such under each system.

Ubuntu
Open terminal in Nautilus:
just install nautilus-open-terminal with your Synaptic Package Manager, then you can find a “open in terminal” item in your context menu of your Nautilus.

Open Nautilus in terminal

nautilus . 

Windows
Open cmd line in Explorer
install cmdhere tool in the collections of powertoys provided by Microsoft

Open Explorer in terminal

start .

Mac OS
Open terminal in Finder
Download a simple cdto … app here and drag it onto your Finder toolbar. Clicking it will open a terminal with the current path in Finder.

Open Finder in terminal

open .
