It's a tough spot for sure. It's one guy working on the project, and we only have to pay once for a lifetime license. The last update came out superquick, but overall they've been slow to come out. It's too bad MS messes with the OS so much, that it takes BigMuscle month's to fix aeroglass to work with the new version. Hopefully 1.5.9 comes out soon, but I understand why the updates take so long.

OK. Thanks for your explanation.

Well, what I do criticize in your posts is the way you usually avoid saying anything. You instead direct the reader to a link or image and let the reader deduce or conclude what you're posting about by her(him)self. I'm not trying to bully you. When, sometimes, I've criticized the content of some of your posts, it was in the sense that you adopt a paranoid attitude. I do criticize @glnz about that, too, and he's never offended by it, even because there's really no offense meant. Not to him and not to you. There was no need to delete the contents of that post. My replies were intended to be constructive, not offensive. I apologize if you felt offended.

Found the solution, the sub directory or 'program' folder needs to exist in start menu first. Shortcut.exe can not create directories. so I use mkdir before I run shortcut.exe and it works. Not obvious!

From a post by @412070391 (which was scrubbed with the msfn server crash):

As far as I know, EFI support was not available in any Vista Betas (non-Itanium). It wasn't added until SP1. https://www.anandtech.com/show/2452/4

It's right there at the bottom of my post: I just posted the AHK script as well in case somebody doesn't trust my exe, they can make their own.

@bigmuscle I just think everyone would appreciate a faster turn-around time.

Aren't you a bit overexaggerating? I don't use the cloud but I am not in the dust also.

Yeah, sure. jaclaz

Don't you do your own backups? I have completely shunned the cloud and yet - amazingly - I haven't lost any data since 1976 (though I admit that some of it is on punch cards and mag tape, which I never transferred into the PC environment). As far as files on my computer go, my oldest Word document in my Documents folder is from 1990 (which is when I started using Word). Never once have these documents been "on the cloud". You cannot espouse advantages of "cloud" computing - which differs from traditional computing with networking in one key point, you don't have control of the communications - because there simply are no advantages for users. The only advantages are for those who would seek to profit from handling your data. Surely you don't believe in a free lunch. The oldest program in my BIN folder is dated 1986, which is when I started accumulating useful applications. It no longer runs on my host system since it's a 16 bit application. However, to this day I still run the NT CLOCK32.EXE application, which is dated late 90s, on my desktop 24/7. Why? Because it accomplishes its purpose (showing me the time and date) with almost no resource consumption. The executable is a whole 42 kBytes in size. My point? There is no reason to believe that "newer is better" when it comes to software. People aren't any smarter than they were decades ago. If anything, they lack the wisdom and prowess people had to develop when computing was more expensive and difficult, and they weren't distracted by their damned phones all the time. -Noel
