After applying a few Microsoft patches to one of my desktops, I could not load my login script (.wsf) anymore. When I ran my login script, the following error occurred:
Windows Script Host
Error: Can’t create object: ‘Scripting.FileSystemObject’
Code: 80070005
Source: WScript.CreateObject

The file thumbs.db is a thumbnail cache. Windows uses thumbs.db to store thumbnail images for Windows Explorer’s thumbnail view. When a folder with images and movies is opened for the first time, Windows creates thumbnails for all these media files. The thumbnails are saved into one file, thumbs.db. This speeds up the display of images as the smaller images do not need to be recalculated every time the user views the folder.

Last week one of my servers had an strange issue. After pressing CTRL-ALT-DELETE to log on, the log on window turned almost completely black (as you can see in the screenshot).
Google gave me the answer, but I still have no idea how this could have happened.

Since a week, all of a sudden, I had this very strange problem that I could not move email items from the message list pane to a directory in the left pane. I got this error:
“Can’t copy the items. An OLE registration error occurred. The program is not correctly installed. Run Setup again for the program”

I recently faced the problem that I could not install KB968930: Update for Windows XP. Installation failed.
This update contains the Windows Management Framework Core.
This installation failure only occured on a desktop computer, which had Windows XP Sp3 workstation and the Exchange 2007 Management Console installed.
