    Type COMPMGMT.MSC in the start search box. When the icon shows, right click on it and choose 'send to' .... send the shortcut to your desktop or wherever you want it.

    cheers guys, i've just been reading that thread, i've not tried the fix yet, but i soon will

    :)
    Strictly speaking, it's a workaround, not a "fix", and copying over binaries from Vista to use instead of the Win7 equivalents has a degree of risk associated with it - there are valid reasons why they're different.

    The conclusion in that thread is also incorrect. The Win7 version of CompMgmtLauncher.exe is not "corrupted" but is instead sufficiently different to the Vista one to be confused by the configuration changes made by a particular app on your system. In other words, the Vista CompMgmtLauncher.exe is slightly dumber and simpler - it overlooks the app problem which stops the Win7 version from doing its job.

    Hopefully, everyone is making the same mistake that I made. It has to be my computer and not the shortcut.

    if anyone else has still this problem...


    i had a problem with compmgmtlauncher.exe i guess it got corrupted but i suppose its sort of the same problem....

    my workaround was this, create a .bat file (named whatever) and just type in it:

    Start C:\Windows\System32\compmgmt.msc
    Exit

    save

    shift-right-click and select "copy as path"

    open up Regedit
    navigate to:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/CLSID/{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}/shell/Manage/command/

    edit the data entry and paste the path to your new .bat file

    also, if you dont have the corrupt file like i have, you can just check to make sure it points into "%SystemRoot%/Windows/System32/CompMgmtLauncher.exe"

    I have had this same problem repeatedly...using 7 pro version with some default programs removed, services tweaked, and running avg. when it happens to me I cant run the compmgmtlauncher.exe at all...nothing happens entering....

    %SystemRoot%\system32\CompMgmtLauncher.exe
    in start->run

    i have admin priv on machine...

    uh...i just noticed you have %systemroot%/windows/system32....???
    %systemroot% = windows

    maybe a type-o

    THIS WAS THE PROBLEM


    Hi CompMgmtLauncher.exe seems to execute the hard-coded path C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools\Computer Management.lnk (or wherever your System-wide Start Menu is). If you have moved or deleted this shortcut CompMgmtLauncher.exe will silently fail.

    Fixed


    Manage - Fix "File does not have a program associated"

    if the %SystemRoot%\system32\CompMgmtLauncher.exe does not work even if you double click on it, Just change the registry Default key value at:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Manage\command

    "%SystemRoot%/Windows/System32/CompMgmtLauncher.exe"

    to:
    %SystemRoot%\system32\mmc.exe %SystemRoot%\system32\CompMgmt.msc

    works fine.

    lqedu,
    Thanks for the fix; it works great. Funny thing is, the shortcut is still there, but I had to change the shortcut to "run as administrator" to avoid getting the file security warning popup. Your fix, by going around the shortcut stopped the annoying prompt.

    If you just want to get to Disk Management, then
    | type DISKMGMT.MSC | ENTER

    I do suggest that you go at the source of the problem.

    As a first step, run SFC /SCANNOW at an elevated command prompt and best in safe mode.

    In any case, read this tutorial and follow the procedure given there:
    SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker
