The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Windows 2000 PC's losing file associations

Asked by hbueno in Windows 2000 Operating System

Tags: file, losing, associations

The problem is happening slowly throughout our company (15 of our 300+ PC's over the last 3 weeks).  File associations A through F are getting lost on Windows 2000 PC's.  The only ptograms that run successfully are IE and My Computer.  All desktop program icons show up with the Windows default icon (except for IE and My Computer).  It appears that since the .EXE file association is lost, the PC doesn't know what to do with EXE files.

I've checked for viruses using both Sophos and McAfee and haven't found anything.

Has anyone heard of this type of problem?  I've searched Microsoft's web site as well as used Google on the Internet and found one mention of this problem with no solutions.
