Thank you very much for that, great to get a "secret look" in the kitchen :-) Well, at least you know I'm doing my best, and each time I fail I respect YOUR work that much more. So you weren't surprised my system went belly-up with my crude attempts?

In Firefox 78+, some extensions worked incorrectly

Applying Windows 11 build 26100 with WinNTSetup works fine (of course), the NoDefender tweak works, thank you very much for that. Nice to see that after a successful setup, Defender is off, so my postinstall (with all my programs and settings) is as fast as before (absolutely no need for an antivurs to keep checking these files). I also have my own little Apply tool, made in AHK (basically scripts with a GUI). Just to learn and experiment. This has also worked very well until now. Even with 26100, the only thing that has changed for me is that Defender was not deactivated. So now I'm trying to replicate what JFX has done to deactivate Defender in my own scripts. Looks like you do a series of "Image File Execution Option" settings, correct? When I set these for MpCmdRun.exe, MsMpEng.exe and smartscreen.exe, Defender does seem to be deactivated, but the system becomes incredibly unresponsive and slow. So once again, I feel like I'm so close, yet so far away from the solution :-) Do you have any tips to nudge me in the right direction? I must have these entries below wrong somehow, this is the only thing I added to an otherwise working .reg file. Without these, apply and setup runs fine, but when I add them back, the system is incredibly slow after Setup finishes. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\temp\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\MpCmdRun.exe] "Debugger"="NUL" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\temp\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\MsMpEng.exe] "Debugger"="NUL" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\temp\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\smartscreen.exe] "Debugger"="NUL"

At least, on my old computer with a 32-bit single-core CPU. I did a little research about the preference extensions.webextensions.remote. This is a preference to disable separate webextensions process(es). When set to true, Mypal 68 will use separate content process(es) for webextensions that are installed in the web browser. The number of these processes can be set by the preference dom.ipc.processCount.extension with the default value of 1. When extensions.webextensions.remote is set to false, then Mypal 68 won't use separate content process(es) for these webextensions. The extensions.webextensions.remote preference will only be read once. If you are changing this preference, the browser needs to be restarted for it to apply. I now assume that this preference has no effect when using Mypal 68 in single-process mode because there is only one process.

Hi, I'm working on an experiment about converting Windows XP Professional to Windows XP Embedded. And I just discovered that there's a registry data EmbeddedNT in the ProductSuite value. The problem is the Embedded SKU is only available in some WIM-based installation media disks. And I decided to port it to I386-based installation. But the problem is the GUI-mode setup restarts itself immediately if the EmbeddedNT data was added during text-mode setup. I tried to edit both setupreg.hiv file and hivesys.inf files. But both ways ended up with the same result. Then I decided to install that value duing GUI-mode setup. And I think it is possible, because the registry data Terminal Server is added after GUI-mode setup on Windows Server 2003 installations. But I'm not pretty sure on how to do that. Any ideas? Thank you.

Multi-process won't work as designed then. https://www.ghacks.net/2017/07/11/firefox-nightly-out-of-process-web-extensions/ And potential compatibility issues with extensions, eg. https://github.com/hackademix/noscript/issues/148

sorry, but the only "association" I have with chocolate is this -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKH3qchAAec

Those are XAML tooltips, not Win32 tooltips.

Thanks for the reply!, I’ll be home shortly and I’ll have a go and see if it works. Thanks again!

The reason OpenOffice is still compatible with XP is because it hasn't received a major version update since 2014. https://www.libreoffice.org/discover/libreoffice-vs-openoffice/

Thank you for your quick replies! May I ask how the tweak works in WinNTSetup, I would like to replicate that in a manual apply. Thanks for the link to last June, when this was discussed, sorry to have missed that. Any other links are welcome, so I can read up on the matter. I have to admit I was sort of ignoring Windows 11 for a while, but now with the upcoming LTSC 2024 (and the leaked 26100 build) I think we have to learn to live with it (or at least work around it). [EDIT: Aahh, wait it minute, it all seems to be coming back to me now <g>, it's the "File Execution Options", right? --Testing now ---)

I retested NoDarkTooltips, in fact the font is the default for Windows, but the tooltips are wider and the design is no longer that of Windows Not possible to have tooltips and default Windows font like that ? Thanks

Sweet! I hadn't even noticed that Thorium may be our first post-360Chrome-v86 for XP that is UNGOOGLED. Will definitely try it out this evening or so.

I never did try to convert this portion of a system. If it happened to me, I would probably clone the disk, then attempt a repair install.

Has anyone tried using the chrome://flags/#ungoogled-thorium flag? If so, are there any downsides to it?
