Help Required: HummingBird Exceed 2008 v13.0.0.0

Hi All,

I badly need help in removing the desktop namespace for the shortcut named, Hummingbird Neighbourhood. I have tried to follow the solution mentioned @ http://itninja.com/blog/view/hummingbird-exceed-2008---remove-hummingbird-neighborhood-from-desktop

Still when i reboot the system and open in standard user, this shortcuts comes back to haunt me. Please suggest some permanent solution .


Thanx in advance.

hello,
Correct me if i m wrong, the source of Hummingbird exceed comes in uncompressed format.
I remember i did hummingbird exceed 14.0 a long time back. there are two files called HN_MyComputer.humreg and HN_Desktop.humreg under Program Files\Hummingbird\Connectivity\14.00\Default User\Registry\Shared
and Program Files\Hummingbird\Connectivity\14.00\Default User\Registry\PerUser. Following was how i modified these two files to remove desktop shortcut and retain a similar shortcut under MyComputer


HN_MyComputer.humreg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

; Install Hummingbird Neighborhood into Current Users' MyComputer
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Approved]
"{DB8DC413-C0AA-11D0-9545-080009B1C2F3}" = "Hummingbird Neighborhood"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{DB8DC413-C0AA-11D0-9545-080009B1C2F3}]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{DB8DC413-C0AA-11D0-9545-080009B1C2F3}]


; Install Hummingbird Neighborhood into Current Users' MyComputer
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE64\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Approved]
"{DB8DC413-C0AA-11D0-9545-080009B1C2F3}" = "Hummingbird Neighborhood"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE64\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{DB8DC413-C0AA-11D0-9545-080009B1C2F3}]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE64\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{DB8DC413-C0AA-11D0-9545-080009B1C2F3}]

HN_Desktop.humreg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

; Install Hummingbird Neighborhood into Current user's desktop
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Approved]
"{DB8DC413-C0AA-11D0-9545-080009B1C2F3}" = "Hummingbird Neighborhood"

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{DB8DC413-C0AA-11D0-9545-080009B1C2F3}]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{DB8DC413-C0AA-11D0-9545-080009B1C2F3}]

; Install Hummingbird Neighborhood into Current user's desktop
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE64\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Approved]
"{DB8DC413-C0AA-11D0-9545-080009B1C2F3}" = "Hummingbird Neighborhood"

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE64\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{DB8DC413-C0AA-11D0-9545-080009B1C2F3}]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE64\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{DB8DC413-C0AA-11D0-9545-080009B1C2F3}]

 Modify these two files as per above and i m sure you will get rid of desktop shortcuts.

If the shortcut is returning after a reboot, I'd suggest that the uninstall has failed, as it sounds like Windows Installer is repairing the shortcut's feature. The Event Log will show that happening.

Ah, OK. In that case, check for localised effects of sunspot activity.

Hi rkava,

HummingBird Exceed 2008 v13.0.0.0 has separate features to install Desktop ICON's u can change the corresponding feature level to 0.Also special shortcut table _HCLSHORTN contains Desktop shortcut entry u can delete them through MST.

regards

r u nutsProbably but, ibn my defence, I may have been driven that way by people who assert that "uninstallation is fine" when clearly something is left behind to trigger a repair. Did you look at the 'Application' event log yet? Thought not...

Thank u Mayur. That helped. BTWS i found another way to remove that shortcut (namespace). I changed the path specified in that url to my computer and all the shortcuts worked properly and desktop shortcut was gone :)

VBScab instead of blamming the uninstallation, will u be kind enuf to read my query...i said after REBOOT and not uninstallation. And i checked all the logs and after that only i decided to open up a query here. Sir, i am kind enuf to not to WASTE your Valuable time and drive u NUTS.

My apologies. I mis-read the gist of your query as an uninstallation. Nonetheless, my advice still stands: a feature is being repaired and the shortcut restored. Find the component (the event log details will contain its ID), find the feature containing that component, then re-jig the feature using a transform.I changed the path specified in that url to my computer Hmmm...a bit like using a hammer to drive in a screw. It works but it's not the right way.
