“C:\Users\JEFF SMITH\AppData\Local\MP3 Skype recorder\MP3SkypeRecorder.exe” Note the VERY subtle difference there with the quotation marks.ĭ) The result being that windows is trying to open C:\Users\JEFF. WHAT THE REGISTRY KEY NEEDS ARE QUOTATION MARKS ( “ ) SO THAT IT SEES THE ENTIRE ADDRESS PATH.

It calls the file C:\Users\JEFF instead of the full file path. Note the space in JEFF SMITH means that windows registry sees that SPACE as the end of the filepath. (Please forgive me if this is wordy… I’m trying to give as much detail as possible to avoid confusion)įirst, some of the independent factors (in my case) that came together to cause this problem Ī) You have a USER FOLDER that uses two words separated by a space – In my case “JEFF SMITH”ī) At some point in the past windows has left a file in your user directory named the first word of a user account – In may case “JEFF” (note: it had no extension, it was a very small log file likely left over from some windows system maintenance task)Ĭ) Some other program has created a start-up key in the registry improperly formatted so that it actually (incorrectly) calls this file (from B above) by accident – In my case, MP3SkypeCallRecorder had the registry key C:\Users\JEFF SMITH\AppData\Local\MP3 Skype recorder\MP3SkypeRecorder.exe. Hopefully going through it here can also help solve your problem as well. I had exactly the same problem and it took a little problem solving but I’ve found the root cause of my issue. It treats the symptom but does not get to the root cause (as TRICKYWAYS1 later asked). The solution above is a great start however it only goes 50% of the way to solving the problem. This is why it doesn’t happen to everyone. This is one of those problems where 3 or 4 different independent issues have come together to result in the problem you now see in front of you. But I am not sure about this at the moment.Īddition: One of our readers shares his experience and this might be helpful for you. You can delete it from the path where you found it.
