JSI Tip 4577. The Windows XP System Restore calendar is missing?


When you run the System Restore tool, %Windir%\System32\Restore\Rstrui.exe, the calendar that lets you Choose a Restore Point is missing?

Mostly likely, the .htc (Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) component) association is missing or corrupt.

To fix the problem, copy / paste the following into a .reg file and double-click it:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

\[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.htc\]
"Content Type"="text/x-component"
@="htcfile"

\[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\text/x-component\]
"CLSID"="\{3050f4f8-98b5-11cf-bb82-00aa00bdce0b\}"
"Extension"=".htc"

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\\{3050f4f8-98b5-11cf-bb82-00aa00bdce0b\}\]
@="Microsoft Html Component"
   \[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\\{3050f4f8-98b5-11cf-bb82-00aa00bdce0b\}\InProcServer32\]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\mshtml.dll"
"ThreadingModel"="Apartment""

\[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.htc\]
"Content Type"="text/x-component"
@="htcfile"
