Windows 7 64bit용에서 

AdobePDF.dll 이 없다고 설치가 안된다면 위의 파일을 받고 경로 지정해주면 된다.

windows가 설치되어 있는 하드를 다른 곳에 연결하면 내폴더 내용은 볼 수 없다.

접근권한 때문인데 이를 해지하고 볼 수 있는 방법이 있다.




탐색기에서 "도구->폴더옵션->보기-> 모든 사용자에게 동일한 공유권한을 지정"을 체크 해제

 

c드라이브 -> 속성->보안->현재의 사용자 선택->고급->소유자

하위 컨테이너와 개체의 소유자 바꾸기 체크

 

적용 후 사용권한 탭으로 이동

모든 권한을 체크해주고 적용.

{90120000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}.zip


탐색기 실생 -> 도구 -> 폴더 옵션 -> 파일형식 ( XP 기준 )

에서 MS Office 문서 확장자 ( doc, docx, xls, xlsx, ppt, pptx 등 )를 선택

고급 -> 아이콘 변경 선택하면 

C:\WINDOWS\Installer\{90120000-0030-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}\xlicons.exe 파일을 찾을 수 없습니다. 와 같은 메시지가 나온다.

ms office 버전에 따라 폴더 명이 다르다. 2010의 경우{90140000-0030-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}


압축파일을 푼다. 폴더를 해당 경로로 옮긴다.(ms office 2007기준)

C:\WINDOWS\Installer\{90120000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}

(ms office 2010의 경우 C:\WINDOWS\Installer\{90140000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}


해결!

Babel: A Listing of Computer Oriented Abbreviations and Acronyms by Irving Kind, 1989-1992

     UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU Version 92A UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU


Copyright (c) 1989-1992  Irving Kind         All Rights Reserved



     Compiled when I became frustrated while reading magazine

articles, help wanted ads and equipment for sale brochures....all

pertaining to computers....where the following Abbreviations and

Acronyms were used and their meanings were either not known to me

or were not immediately available.  I have actually seen these

combinations of letters used at one time or another in magazines,

newspapers or handbooks.  They apply to personal computers,

mainframes, communications, programming, networking, etc......you

name it.  This list is free for anyone to use, but with no

guarantees as to its completeness.  That is why I am now requesting

your help.  Look over the definitions and let me have your

feedback.  If you can fill in any of the blanks that I have

questioned; or, if you have ever seen letter combinations that you

also did not understand, please drop me a note at the address

below.


     Also if you find any errors, obsolete information or can

suggest any additions or deletions, they will be most welcome.  If

you can help, my thanks in advance. 


     In the meantime, print out a copy of this list and keep it on

your desk.  I know you will find it useful.  Updates to this

listing will be issued three times a year; in January, May and

September.  You may download the latest version of BABEL from your

favorite Bulletin Board.  If any Bulletin Board SYSOP, Computer

Club Librarian, Organization or Teacher sends me a formatted disk

with a disk mailer, stamped with return postage, I will return the

disk with the latest updated version of BABEL at no charge.  See

end of listing for additional information about updates.

                    

     Letter groups followed with " * " were used before 1965.  

At some of these, I have noted historical information.


     And please remember to ECAL.
