1. Re: Windows Explorer automatically pops up displaying C:\Pro
visolvejboss Jul 13, 2006 3:22 AM (in response to markus.wahl)Hello,
The reason might be jboss is starting at the time of windows bootup.
To check whether JBoss is starting at bootup time, use the msconfig command.
To check that,
1. Go to the Run prompt in the Start menu and give msconfig command, it will give the list of programs which are starting up at the time of Windows boot up.
2. Check whether the jboss entry is present. If so, remove the JBoss entry from that file and check it out. -

Could you be a little more specific on what you are seeing? My response above is based on the assumption that you are seeing an Explorer window opening at the JBoss home directory. It would help to have a more thorough description of the window in question (i.e., window title text, text within window, buttons displayed, etc.). -

No, it's not checked."PeterJ" wrote:

You are right, this is precisely the problem."PeterJ" wrote:

peterj Jul 20, 2006 3:08 PM (in response to markus.wahl)I assume that you used the installer jar file to install JBoss and that you installed into the Program Files directory. Correct?
Did you set up JBoss as a service?
Download the Autoruns utilities from Sysinternals http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Autoruns.html and run the command line version as follows:autorunsc -l >> autorun.txt
(The option is a lower-case 'L', not the digit '1') Post the contents of the resulting autorun.txt file. -

I did use the jar file (jboss-4.0.4.GA-Patch1-installer.jar) but I installed in the Program directory rather than Program Files (read someplace that JBoss don't like Program Files and that Program should be used instead)."PeterJ" wrote:

7. Re: Windows Explorer automatically pops up displaying C:\Pro
peterj Jul 21, 2006 11:06 AM (in response to markus.wahl)Eureka! The key is the statement that you installed to "C:\Program". Up to now I assumed that some code was tripping over the space in "Program Files" and causing a wierd Explorer window to show. Anyway, I installed to c:\program, logged out and back in, and guess what appeared on my screen? Also, there very briefly flashed a dialog box which then very conveniently hid itself behind the Explorer window. I pulled that dialog box back out front and here is what it says:
Title: File Name Warning
Text: There is a file or folder on your computer called "C:\Program" which
could cause certain applications to not function correctly. Renaming it
to "C:\Program1" would solve this problem. Would you like to rename
it now?
This makes sense based on how Windows converts long file names into short file names to support older 16-bit programs.
The solution is to rename c:\program to something else (I use c:\apps). You do not have to unistall and reinstall JBoss, there is no registry information or anything like that that points to the existing directory. Though, the uninstall script will not work since it still has the c:program directory, but uninstaling JBoss is easy - just delete the directory.
This is why I like trying to solve wierd problems posted on this forum - I almost always learn something new! Thanks, Marcus, it's been a trip! -
