That would of course involve admitting that XP still exists, and that would never do!

As always, nothing is straight forward... Microsoft: We're getting rid of Flash by the end of the year - except you can still use it Adobe Flash Player EOL Enterprise Information Page Unhelpfully the document doesn't allow Copy but the Enterprise Enablement section starts on page 28. The Silver Bullet appears to be to add EOLUninstallDisable=1 to mms.cfg (this sits in C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash) How easy it will be to get hold of HARMAN's versions of Flash Player, who knows. Ben.

So, you have Flash installed in your system, but not in the browser? Why keep it then? Just to fill a few MB on your drive? No, the most "dangerous" software to use on your PC is Windows10. It hijacks your whole system, and you're even happy for this, lol... I want to play my flash games, screw "unknown vulnerabilities"

MS cannot do it to XP anymore. Not easily, at least!

Just as a heads up, the saintly individual behind Facebook Purity has now produced an extension which will revert Facebook to the old design. https://revertsite.com/ It works a treat, on my old and new versions of Firefox anyway! It tells Facebook that it's an old browser which doesn't support the new layout, which is probably pretty much the same as using the Mac/Safari user agent string did. Of course it will only work while the code for the old layout is still actually available to use, which won't be forever, but it should buy a bit more time.

The "INTEGRATE" function is for integrating updates into install.wim Cab files can be installed into a running system with a couple of commands in a batch file. There are a couple of suggestions on the thread below. The exe files such as ie9 and nf35 can be run manually. Attached are the lists for the 64 bit editions, which I created in the same way.

Microsoft bashing is... Sometimes warranted. Ignoring their own "desktop consistency guidelines" to what, try to make it look "different"? Just bad policy. Show me someone who honestly thinks desktop usability is "new and improved". I love the system Windows is based on. I've been a Windows afficionado since the time of NT. Second to none the kernel is. Dave Cutler's design was so many decades ahead of its time and is still better than any version of Unix, IMHO. But it is not open and it is starting to look like we have already seen the best it could become. Today Windows development appears to have become about hanging all kinds of things on that solid kernel and calling them operating system improvements, because "perception is reality". Truth be told, even as a software developer I don't need cloud-integration. But Windows is no longer a system for developers. Microsoft envies Apple, and that is a very, very bad thing. -Noel
