  • Wireless Network Profile – Backup


    How to Backup and Restore Wireless Network Profiles in Windows
    Information
    This will show you how to backup a wireless network with all of it’s settings in Windows 7 to then be able to restore (import) and use on any one or more XP, Vista, and Windows 7 computer as well.

    This makes it easy to have a wireless network and it’s settings automatically added and setup from one computer to another.
    You must be logged in as an administrator to be able to do this tutorial.
    Warning
    You will be required to use a USB flash drive to be able to backup a wireless network profile.
    OPTION ONE
    To Backup a Wireless Network Profile in Windows 7
    1. Open the Control Panel (icons view), and click on the Network and Sharing Center icon.
    2. In the left blue pane, click on the Manage wireless networks link.
    3. Double click on the wireless network that you want to backup.  
    4. Click on the Copy this network profile to a USB flash drive link.  
    5. Connect a USB flash drive to your computer, and click on Next.  
    Warning
    This will replace any other wireless network profile backup that you have previously backed up on the USB flash drive using this method. If you wish to keep more than one wireless network profile backup, then you would need to:
    Create a New Folder on the USB flash drive or some other location, and move (cut and paste) all 3 of the backup files below   from the root of the USB flash drive into the new folder before doing step 5.
    NOTE: I would recommend to name the new folder the same name you had for the wireless network to make it easier to know what it was for.
    6. When it’s finished, click on Close.  
    7. When you are finished, click on OK.
    8. Close the Manage Wireless Networks window.
    OPTION TWO
    To Restore or Import the Wireless Network Profile
    Warning
    If you used a New Folder as in the warning under step 5 in OPTION ONE above to keep mutliple wireless network profiles backed up, then you will need to do this first before doing step 1 below.
    In the USB flash drive, do the warning in step 5 in OPTION ONE above if the wireless network profile backup files in the root of the USB flash drive is not the backup that you wanted to restore (import).
    Afterwards, copy the all of the backup files from within a new folder that contains the wireless network profile that you do want to restore (import) to the root of the USB flash drive.
    1. On the XP, Vista, or Windows 7 computer (ex: laptop or netbook) that you want to restore or import the wireless network to, plug in the USB flash drive that contains the wireless network profile backup files from OPTION ONE above.
    NOTE: This must be done from a USB flash drive, or it will not work.
    2. In AutoPlay, click on the Connect to a wireless network option.  
    A) Go to step 4.
    OR
    3. Open the USB flash drive and run the setupSNK.exe in the root of the USB flash drive.
    4. Verify that this is the name (ex: Brink-Router) of the wireless network that you want to restore or import, and click on Yes if so.  
    NOTE:
    If it isn’t, then do what is in the Warning box right under OPTION TWO to have the correct wirless network profile backup files in the root of the USB flash drive.
    5. Click on OK.  
    6. The wireless network has now been restored (imported). You can repeat steps 1 and 2 in OPTION ONE above to verify.

  • Change the Default Icon of a File

    How to Change the Default Icon of a File Extension in Windows 7
    Information
    This article will show you how to change the default icon of any file extension to have a custom icon of your choice instead for it in Windows 7.

    Tip
    By default, known file extension types are set to be hidden in Windows 7. You will need to unhide file extensions to see and know what the file extension is to make it easier to change the icon for the file extension.
    Note
    You will need to use a 256×256 pixel icon for them to display properly at all of the available icon view sizes in Windows 7.
    Some programs may automatically reset the default file extension icon back to the default one it uses even after you have changed it. This tutorial will not work for these programs.
    If you change the default program for what opens the file extension, it will also change the icon of the file extension to be whatever it is for the program you selected uses.
    Warning
    You will need to be logged on to a administrator account to do this.
    Making changes in the registry can cause problems if you make a mistake. You should create a system restore point before proceeding in case you need to do a system restore with the restore point to undo a mistake made in the registry.
    EXAMPLE:
    Default and New Icon for “MP3” File Extensions

    Here’s How:
    NOTE:
    For an example in this tutorial, I will be changing the default icon used for the MP3 file extension. You would just substitute the file extension that you want to change the default icon for instead.
    1. Open the Start Menu, then type regedit in the search box and press enter.
    2. If prompted by UAC, then click on Yes.
    3. If Using the Default Program in Windows 7 to Open the File Extension With
    NOTE:
    You would use this option if you are using the default program that Windows 7 uses to open the file extension with, and not opens with a 3rd party program that you installed.
    A) In regedit, go to: (see screenshot below)
    NOTE:
    Substitute .mp3 below with the file extension you want to change the icon for instead.
    Code:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mp3
    B) In the right pane of the file extension, make note of the Data value to the right of (Default). (see screenshot above)
    NOTE:
    For example it is WMP11.AssocFile.MP3 for the .mp3 file extension.
    C) Go to step 5.
    4. If Using a Installed 3rd Party Program as the Default Program to Open the File Extension With
    NOTE:
    You would do this option if you have changed the default program used by Windows 7 to open the file extension with to be opened by a installed 3rd party (not included in Windows 7) program instead.
    A) In regedit, go to: (see screenshot below)
    NOTE:
    Substitute .mp3 below with the file extension you want to change the icon for instead.
    Code:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.mp3\Userchoice
    B) In the right pane, look at the Data value to the right of Progid. (see screenshot above)
    NOTE:
    For example it is WMP11.AssocFile.MP3 for the .mp3 file extension type by default. Your value will vary depending on the default program you have set or installed to open this file extension with.
    5. In regedit, scroll past the file extensions and go to: (see screenshot below)
    NOTE:
    Substitute WMP11.AssocFile.MP3 with the Data value from step 3B or 4B for the file extension Data value that you want to change the icon for instead.
    Code:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMP11.AssocFile.MP3
    6. Click on the arrow next to for example WMP11.AssocFile.MP3 to expand the key (folder). (see screenshot above)
    NOTE:
    Substitute WMP11.AssocFile.MP3 with the Data value from step 3B or 4B for the file extension Data value that you want to change the icon for instead.
    Tip
    To Backup the Default File Extension Icon
    NOTE:
    To restore the default file extension icon from this created backup below, right click on the .reg backup file and click on Merge. Next, approve the merge and log off and log on to apply the change to restore the default icon.
    A) In the left pane of regedit, right click on DefaultIcon and click on Export. (See screenshot below step 5)
    B) Select a location to where you want to save the backup reg file to.
    C) Type in a name and click on the Save button.

    7. In the right pane of DefaultIcon, right click on (Default) and click on Modify. (see screenshot below step 5)
    NOTE:
    If you do not have DefaultIcon in the left pane of for example WMP11.AssocFile.MP3, then right click on WMP11.AssocFile.MP3, click on New and Key, type in DefaultIcon, and press Enter.
    8. Select either Option One or Option Two below for what type of icon you want to replace the default file extension icon with.
    OPTION ONE
    Use another Icon Included in Windows 7
    A. Download and install the free program IconViewerfor your 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7.
    NOTE:
    This program will add a Icons tab to files (ex: imageres.dll) that contain a icon library in them so you can see the icons available in it.
    B. In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Windows\System32\imageres.dll and right click on imageres.dll, click on Properties, and click on the Icons tab.
    NOTE:
    You can use any of the Windows 7 files that include icons in them that you want though. This is just the most common one.
    C. Scroll through the icons and make note of the icon number of the one you want to use to replace the default file extension icon with, then close the properties window. (see screenshot below)
    NOTE:
    For example, icon number 1023.
    D) In the Modify window, type in (full path of the Windows 7 file with file extension),-#### and click on OK. (see screenshot below)
    NOTE:
    For example, I would type in the location exactly as below for what I used in B and C above.
    Code:
    C:\Windows\System32\imageres.dll,-1023
    E) Go to step 9.
    OPTION TWO
    Use a Saved Custom Icon of Your Own
    A) Create or download and save a icon (.ico file) of your choice to a location you wish to keep the icon stored at.
    NOTE:
    See the Note box at the top of this tutorial for about what kind of icon to use. The icon must stay at this location for as long as it is being used for the file extension.
    B) In the Modify window, type in “full path of the icon file with file extension” and click on OK. (see screenshot below)
    NOTE:
    For example, If I I had a icon store on my Desktop name New Icon Location.ico, I would type in the location exactly as below. Just substitute with your icons full path and name with file extension in quotes instead.
    Code:
    “C:\Users\UserName\Desktop\New Icon Location.ico”
    9. Close regedit.
    10. Log off and log on, or restart the computer, to fully apply the icon change.
