If you are facing a problem while trying to open your Windows Explorer from taskbar or even from start menu and the following error is displayed whenever you try to open your windows explorer, then today we will provide you a detail solution to fix this error.

This error basically occurs due to corruption of one of your registry key. The reason for corruption of your registry could be because of any virus affecting your computer or could be due to change of registry value by a new program which you have installed recently or might be some any other reason. When you see the above error, you will also find that when you press Win key+E, a window opens displaying “Unspecified error“.

However, you may find that you are able to launch Windows Explorer by double click on My Computer icon or after trying to include additional switches like ” /e or /n” with explorer.exe, but if you want to recover your computer from this problem, then you will need to fix the registry key “ HKCR\Folders”.

To fix this registry key, just go to this link. After that you will see a page as follow.

Now save this file to any of your preferred location. Now go to this file location and then you will see a zip file with name “folder_fix_w7”. Open this file and extract it to Desktop and ensure that you save the file in REG format. REG is the registry format and after extracting this file to desktop, you will see a icon as follow on desktop.

After that right click on this REG file and click on option Merge. The alternate way of doing this is open your Registry Editor by typing regedit in start menu. Then click Import option from file menu to merge REG file contents. Do ensure that you are logged in as administrator to change this registry key else you will see a error message and you won’t be able to change this registry key.

After changing this registry, close the Registry Editor and then restart your computer. Now you should be able to open your Windows Explorer from both taskbar and start menu.

Quick Multiple Pictures Collage Maker

You must have got an idea by the title of this post, Well you know that the tool which I will be reviewing today will be used to create collage of the selected image files. Now for me this tool was very useful as i liked the way it created the collage of the images that were imported by this tool. The name of this tool is Collage It and I will be telling you more about it.

Many a times we are required to create collage some times it is an occasion and sometimes as a gift. Now this tool will help to create by importing all the image files that are available on your system. In my case it detected all the image files, so I would not be able to tell you the particular formats which it can detect. But yes in my case I had some of the BMP and JPEG files. So atleast this tool will not fail for these two format.

As you can see in the snapshot that all the images which are selected by you will be collected on the right column of the application window. Once you select all the images, just click the Generate Preview button and then you will see the preview in the full screen mode and you will also be able to see that in the center of that application window.

If you want to change any setting related to collage then all the setting options are available on the left side of the application window. If you want to change the background color and its color flow then you can select the change background option, if you want to change the number of images present on a single collage then it is the very first option in the settings column. If you have increased the number to 30 or 40 and the number of files which were selected by your are 10 then the files will be divided in to different pieces and then the collage will be prepared. No repetition will take place.

The size of this tool is around 5 Mb and it will take no time to get installed. This freeware is not portable but it is expected that it is compatible with all the versions of Windows as it has been checked with Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate edition.
