Once I found FaceTime, never used Skype again. FaceTime just works. It's that user friendly thing.

Hi jaclaz, After the excellent results for alacran I've also modified my link to use https://msfn.org/board/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=42711 Thank you very much!

Sure, but - loosely (not that it has any real relevance/impact) - it is to say the least "perplexing" or maybe even "preoccupying" that specifically you (not exactly a newbie ) cannot download the file or resolve the address with Firefox 61.01 and on Internet Explorer 11, on Win7 x64, as this shows some "serious" issue with accessing an otherways apparently perfectly "normal" site (not https or strange javascript, etc.). I guess it is a little revenge for all the sites that don't work (or suddenly stopped working) on my aging browsers. jaclaz

As a matter of fact, by copying files sequentially you reduce (or more exactly avoid creating) fragmentation on the target. Just for the record once upon a time NT 3.51 and NT 4.00 did not have any fragmentation utility, so it was common to copy the whole volume contents to a temporary storage, then format the original volume and copy back the whole stuff in order to have a defragmented filesystem. The only "issue" (if it is an issue) of doing copy and paste is that if/when you want to update the backup (and/or make "incremental" backups) you will have difficulties with overwriting existing files and/or replacing with newer ones the old ones, etc. If you adopt an "integral" backup strategy, that is not an issue at all of course. Otherwise I would suggest you the use of Robocopy (the actual command line tool has a little bit daunting sintax, but there are free GUI's for it that are very handy), examples: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2006.11.utilityspotlight.aspx https://archive.codeplex.com/?p=betterrobocopygui https://sourceforge.net/projects/roboscript/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/robomirror/ If you are OK with command line tools, besides Robocopy you may want to try the excellent STRARC: http://www.ltr-data.se/opencode.html/ @Sal No prob , it is just that imaging takes more time (and usually more space on target media) because it stores much more information, and sometimes this is not needed as in this case. jaclaz

"Fluent" design is in itself inconsistent - by design. You never know where the UI elements are going to move to, or how they're going to look, or whether they're even going to be there. So expectations are out the window. The feeling of "I no longer remember how to use this" isn't supposed to recur for every use. There does seem to be a need to display information in various sizes and aspect ratios. Microsoft just wasn't terribly good at picking a way to do that. And some design decisions are just dumb... They may have sounded good on paper but in practice they just don't work. Discoverability has suffered, for example, because of things like mysterious appearing scroll bars. Just try to find all the configuration options in Skype 8. -Noel

Yep , that is a common issue with "compilers" (like the AutoHotKey one) that are essentially an assembly of the interpreter .exe + the actual script. Since your script is extemely simple, maybe (it has to be tested) it will work with AutoHotKey v.1.0 (once called "Basic") that should allow to make .exe's in the around 200-300 KB size range. jaclaz
