How to Re-register Internet Explorer DLL's

Sometimes I found that after upgrading software, installing new software, security patching that IE starts behaving strangely. Issues like links no longer opening in new windows, Blank screens etc.

I've found that re-registering the IE dlls can sometime fix this;


  • Create a batch file. call it IEFIXDLL.BAT 
  • This is what the batch file should look like.

Asus' Windows 8 tablets follow familiar Transformer theme

I was holding out for the Transformer Prime Infinity (Android) but I may hold out for this a little longer as the OS is Windows 8.

Slipstream Office 2010 with Service Pack 1

I will have to comment that this is not really slipstreaming.. You are extracting the MSP files and placing them in to the update folder which is the Microsoft supported method to create Office 2010 installation media that patches itself to SP1 after installing.

Programmatically open multiple instances of Windows Picture and Fax Viewer on XP

I have not figured this one out yet.. Under normal behaviour Windows Picture and Fax Viewer (WPFV) for XP only allows you to open one instance of the application at any one time. Someone did find a hack way to open 2 copies by bringing up the print wizard screen before opening the next file but that's not good solution.

To launch a image file using WPFV you run the command line
C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe c:\windows\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen Imagefile.Tif
If anyone does figure it leave the solution in the comments section if you please.

Update July 2012:
I have not been able to find a way to open this app more than once. We ended up writing our own simple replacement for WPFV instead.

Photo viewer in windows 7 does support multiple instances. This means the issues goes away once you upgrade to Windows 7.
