If you have Filezilla installed in Windows XP delete the following user specific file:
\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\FileZilla\trustedcerts.xml
Replace “UserName” with the username of the user account that was running the Filezilla program when the SSL certificates were saved.
If you have Filezilla installed in Vista delete the following file:
C:\Program Files (x86)\FileZilla\Trusted Certs.dat
Change “C:\Program Files (x86)\FileZilla\” to the directory you installed Filezilla to if you did not go with the default installation location.

There is a very handy PowerToy for Windows which allows you to right-click any directory in the File Explorer and an option to “Open Command Window Here” would show up in the contextual menu. This option would allow you to open up a command prompt window with the directory already set to the directory you right-clicked on.
This feature is built into Windows Vista and can be activated by right-clicking on a directory name while holding down the shift key. When you do this, the contextual menu option “Open Command Window Here” will appear.

When trying to install Adobe Creative Suite 3 ( CS3 ) you may encounter the following error message:
Internal Error 2739
This error message occurs right after you run the setup program to install CS3. The problem is that a DLL file needs to be reregistered with Vista. To fix this error perform the following steps:
1. Open a command prompt but do so with administrative privileges. See this link on how to do this.
2. If you are running Windows Vista 32-bit, then ensure the command prompt is currently in the directory “C:\Windows\System32\” which should be the default starting location when you open the command prompt. If you are running Vista 64-bit, then run the following command to get to the correct directory:
cd ..\SysWow64
3. Type the following command in the command prompt window and then press ENTER:
regsvr32 jscript.dll
- If the problem persists, then additionally run the command :
regsvr32 vbscript.dll
4. Try running the CS3 installer again. It should now work.

User Access Control (UAC) is the feature of Windows Vista that requires the need to always confirm administrative actions by typing in your password. If you disable this then your account can be configured to run with administrative privileges all the time like you could do in Windows XP. This results in you not having to type in your password all the time to do administrative functions on your computer like installing programs. Here is how to disable UAC:
- Launch the MSconfig app by opening up the command prompt and typing: msconfig
- Select the Tools tab.
- Select the Disable UAC option.
- Click the Launch button to execute the command line which will disable UAC.
- Reboot the computer to put the changes into effect.
