ISSUE: Bluepages & Notes error "Invalid directory name or device not ready "

Problem: My Help - Installing v1.1.20 caused the association of notes .nsf files to change from 'nsf file' to 'Notes database'. If a user tries to open a notes .nsf file when notes is open you get this error message - "Invalid Directory Name or Device not ready" from notes.  Removing 1.1.20 does NOT change the file type back.

Solution: 1. Went to Folder Options under Tools in My computer.

2. File Types

3. went to NSF under registered file types

4. Advanced

5. Edit the 'open' Action and remove the " " around the %1 part of the statem

If this does not work--->

Resolution:

Edit [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\Shell\Open\Command]

Remove the quotes around "%1" so that the value is C:\notes\notes.exe %1

Can you check the Profile sections? i.e User and Group. also, check the rights of that profile. If it is not "Administrator Rights" it gives the errors.
