Unable to system restore due to missing file “RDPCLIP.EXE” on Windows 7.

[LooRa]

Hello guys I bought new machine in last month with the Windows 7 installed on it. I haven’t downloaded any update for it. And the Autoruns specifies that the file “RDPCIP.EXE” which usually resides in the folder System32, and that file cannot be located on the startup. And I am not able to do the system restore due to that missing file. Machine runs fine most of the time but sometimes it freezes. Can you guys tell how to restore that file on the Windows 7.

Hey first of all thanks for posting this thread, I was looking the same query. My system also gets hanged sometime. I did remember that few weeks ago I changed some settings in the registry while using the remote desktop. May be that have affected my system, I don’t know much about the computer stuffs and that is the only change I have made recently, so guys please help me out I hangs occasionally while downloading but it’s really annoying when it hangs just before the download completes. Please help.

Well you guys have made some changes in the registry files and due to that you guys are facing this problem. When your machine acts as a terminal server that means if someone else using who connects with your machine using the Remote desktop. Then the “REPCLIP.EXE” file be loaded in your computer, which will act as a part of the Terminal server functionality. RDPCLIP helps the machine to connect via the Remote desktop, you will find this under this path “Program files\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\Wds\rdpwd\StartupPrograms” and to solve this issue you have to back up the registry and then restore the registry.

Dude that is exact solution for registry back up and don’t have to visit the Microsoft forums because I know the steps required to restore the registry and steps are as followed.
1> First step is same as for the “Backup registry” step-<A>.
2> Now on the “Welcome to System Restore” page you have to click on the “click Restore my computer to an earlier time” and click on “Next”.
3> Now on the “Select a Restore Point” page, and click the system checkpoint. Now in the On this list you have to select the “restore point area” and now click an entry that is named “Guided Help(Registry Back up)” and then click on the Next. And if you get a System Restore message click on “OK”.
4> And now on the “Confirm Restore Point Selection” page click on “Next”. And restart the computer,
5> After restarting the computer click on “Ok” on the “System Restore confirmation” page.
