Clean install + Change in program directories = Trouble
Hello guys
After doing a clean reinstall, I have discovered a problem bugging my system (Windows 7 Ultimate x64).
Straight after the install, I changed my program directories, as in here, to another drive. However, not only did I change all 4 Strings (ProgramFilesDir, ProgramFilesDir x86, ProgramFilesPath & ProgramW6432Dir) to the same directory (E:\Program Files), but I also changed the common file entries (CommonFilesDir, CommonFilesDir x86, CommonW6432Dir) to the same directory, on the different drive (E:\Program Files\Common Files). I had copied all of the contents of both C:\Program Files x86 and C:\Program Files into my new directory, copying the 32-bit folder first, then overriding with 64-bit, however I now face a new problem
I first started noticing my downloads disappearing whenever they reached 100% (firefox and ie) and initially found no way to fix it. But then I came across using sfc /scannow, which fixed my initial problems, but then lead to the corruption (i think) of stickynotes, i.e. click on sticky notes -> Sticky notes has stopped working -> Close program -> repeat. So I used sfc /scannow again, but that just lead me back to my initial problem with the downloaded files disappearing.
So to sum it up, I am now stuck between being able to download files, or use stickynotes and I would really prefer to be able to use both at the same time
