Today my friend ask me to help to fix a problem, a webapp of his boss are not running. Soon I discover the problem is the MS sql server service cannot start because of the error "cannot found path specify". What this happen? After a quick google search, someone say probably someone rename the path of the exe. My friend say his doesn't, the only hint I have is the database fail to start after scandisk. Soon I found that the path is in format d:\progra~1\micros~2\mssql . In fact the path should be d:\progra~1\micros~1\mssql , it show scandisk may re-general the short path for windows file system which will affect some service or program still use old short path.

. Create backup copy of c:\WINDOWS\notepad.exe. Just in case you want to revert back to this. 2. Create a copy of your favorite text editor and rename it to Notepad.exe. In my case it is the very cool Notepad2. 3. Copy the new Notepad.exe to the following folders in the same order quickly a. C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386\ b. C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache c. C:\WINDOWS\system32 d. C:\WINDOWS (for WinXP prior to SP2 ignore folder a.) 4. Have fun with the new Notepad. http://www.vasanth.in[..]c6abd4d-ffe6-4610-9cae-58dc00c802bb.aspx
