When you try to start the Local Users and Computers MMC snap-in, you receive:

Unable to access the computer \.
The error was: library not registered.

This problem is generally the result of missing registry Keys and/or Value Names.

To resolve this problem, I have scripted FixTL97d25.bat, which you run without any parameters.

FixTL97d25.bat contains:

@echo offsetlocalcall :parse %SystemRoot%(echo REGEDIT4echo.echo [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTTypeLib\{97d25db0-0363-11cf-abc4-02608c9e7553}]echo.echo [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTTypeLib\{97d25db0-0363-11cf-abc4-02608c9e7553}1.0]echo @="Active DS Type Library"echo.echo [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTTypeLib\{97d25db0-0363-11cf-abc4-02608c9e7553}1.0]echo.echo [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTTypeLib\{97d25db0-0363-11cf-abc4-02608c9e7553}1.0win32]echo @="%drv%\%win%\system32\activeds.tlb"echo.echo [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTTypeLib\{97d25db0-0363-11cf-abc4-02608c9e7553}1.0FLAGS]echo @="0"echo.echo [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTTypeLib\{97d25db0-0363-11cf-abc4-02608c9e7553}1.0HELPDIR]echo @="%drv%\%win%\system32"echo.echo.)> "%TEMP%FixTL97d25.tmp"regedit /s "%TEMP%FixTL97d25.tmp"del /q "%TEMP%FixTL97d25.tmp"endlocalgoto :EOF:parseset drv=%~D1call set win=%%SystemRoot:%drv%=%%
