The forum is not bound by what is and isn't supported. Windows 7 is a top-level sub-forum due to the activity. It has come up in private discussion to move it, the question was then: why? There is no harm to keep it the way it is.

I don't think that was what he meant. Sounded to me like he thinks the Rust language (used for FF 56+) has some inherent vulnerabilities, regardless of OS. I do run MBAE on my XP VM; hopefully that's good enough....

I don't force it, just advice And as you said , He can speak in his language as long as he provide an English translation to his own post.

Actually, you can speak in your language as long as you provide an English translation to your own post. MSFN Rule 2.d:

I have the same question. The thing is that Windows XP and 2000 require an older VMware to get rid of the sound distortion sometimes. But apparently we can't install multiple vmware versions in the same OS, we would need another Windows installation.

yes

@Win95rtm If I can get my ntoskrnl extender working, it should be possible to install an unmodified 368.91 driver on windows 2000.

at 18:12 look at the run prompt! It has the acrylic title bar! YAS!

Some interesting news is that I posted this over in the Windows 11 part of this forum, but Ill do a TLDR here since it relates to Aero Glass. There is a possibility that the next major insider Dev build this week will include Acrylic title bars out of the box, implimented by Microsoft. It was "shown" in a PowerToys stream. We'll see if this actually goes through this week. Build in specifics was 2505x related

I view it more along the lines that hackers want to hack as many computers as they can. Between 2018 and 2021, Firefox has lost 50 million users. In 2018, there were about 244 million users, that number is now down to below 200 million. That loss is staggering now matter how you look at it - "rose-colored lenses" can't even make those numbers look 'good'. So if Firefox overall is down that huge, what percentage of those are Quantum versus Pre-Quantum, Rust versus Pre-Rust? Why would a hacker target 1 million users if s/he can target 199 million users?

@TSNH That's an answer to a completely different question, not the one in OP. And a bad one since it basically tells how to modify UAC configuration, which as a person who just wants old search bar, you don't want to do. The correct way to get back an old search bar would be this registry tweak: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID\{1d64637d-31e9-4b06-9124-e83fb178ac6e}\TreatAs] @="{64BC32B5-4EEC-4de7-972D-BD8BD0324537}"

My slide rule is traditional: In the picture I am in front of my Lenovo all in one pc.

Me too. And we're not old....if life starts at 40 we're still in the prime of our youth. And I have no anti-XP sentiments. Look I wrote elsewhere on Saturday: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/how-much-ram-have-you-got.444036/#post-3067449 Unfortunately I don't have my C64 anymore, even that is broken, but I still have my slide rule similar to those used in the movie Apollo 13.

I'm "old". My first computer was a Commodore 64 (still have it). I've been using XP non-stop since it was released in August of 2001 (when it was released to manufacturing [Research & Development Laboratory where I worked as a college intern], retail stores did not receive it until October 2001). I was running AutoCAD at the time that still used a "tablet" mouse (a mouse with a magnetic crosshairs pickup zone and a huge tablet with "icons" and large "template" sheets where you could change the tablet "icons"). I remember it to this day because IT was concerned about whether that "tablet" mouse would run on XP (it did!). My point remains - I have no interest in this thread turning into a conversation on how "unsafe" it is to be using XP - we that use it are already aware of this and we do not read an NT-Family OS thread to be hit with "use Linux" or "use 10" or "XP is insecure" !!!

As soon as you delete the certificate in the ProxhttpsProxy folder and open the program again, a new one will be generated.

Yes, this appears to be correct. Here are instructions to patch the latest (as of writing) onedrive installer so that it will install and work on Windows 7. OneDrive installer version 21.245.1128.0002, download link: https://oneclient.sfx.ms/Win/Prod/21.245.1128.0002/OneDriveSetup.exe 1. Open OneDriveSetup.exe in HxD or any other hex editor 2. Ctrl+F and search for hex string "84 C0 75 11 C7" 3. Change "84 C0 75 11 C7" at the beginning to "84 DB 75 11 C7" 4. Ctrl+F and search for hex string "8B F0 89 B5 30" 5. Change "8B F0 89 B5 30" to "31 F6 89 B5 30" 6. Save and exit 7. Run installer and it will work. I don't have a microsoft onedrive account and I'm not interested in making one, so you'll have to test by yourself to see if it actually works. Honestly, I don't understand why one would install windows 7 and then add modern MS garbage on top of it, but at least it was an interesting technical exercise to get the installer running. I don't know whether the auto update will f*k everything up when it runs, so do this at your own risk yada yada. Uninstalling the app from the control panel does appear to work fine. Known Issues: The taskbar icon of OneDrive is blank. You have to hover over the blank space to find where the icon is.

Anybody know how to get fully workable OOBE on XP x64?

1. Hardware Certainly more powerful computer you have, more faster building your will get then, consider two cores CPU and 4G RAM will be sufficient. Also i suggest to have two hdds, the first for source, compiler, build tools and the second for output. 2. Virtual drive If you have more RAM it is good to make virtual drives, no need second hdd then. Why this you ask, so building things such as browsers put heavy stress on the hdd, with ramdrive you save hdds life and increase building speed greatly. For last time i used 10gb drive for all stuff except compiler 3. Software 3.0 OS For msvc build win7+ is required,, and assuming you have x64 3.1 Git Download at https://git-scm.com and install, i did not try portable, but you can i think. 3.2 Compiler I do not like regular Visual Studio, with its junk and onlineness requirement, so i do not use it. Good Microsoft cares for me too, and made available good build tools without junk. They are in the iso file, and ready for usage anywhere, no need to do install. Download, unpack or mount iso.

I released RDP7.0 for Win2000 some packeges. I think you used lastest package, Windows2000-KB969084-v4-x86-int.wlu

I just described the article http://blog.livedoor.jp/blackwingcat/archives/1990724.html It had any problems on Cygwin. :3

Hi. KB3244476/KB324446(5.0.3900.xxxx) based on Windows 2000 "SP5". It breaks some compatibility. So, I does not recommended to use it.

"Chrome Tool for Windows 2000" does not bases on extended kernel but KDW. They don't have compatibility. If you want to use SRWare Iron 30 on Extended kernel. We should only set executable XP mode with fcwin2k.exe. ( Of course it requires --no-sandbox option.)

No, W2kRP only replaces browseui.dll and comdlg32.dll. I will fix display icon issue ( for example Google Earth Icon ) which is not transparency one on next version extended kernel. # If anyone provide me modified browseui.dll and comdlg32.dll by W2kRP, I may be able to apply it Extended kernel. :3

It seems to come from Win2k Revolution Pack or OpenGL(d3dcompiler_47.dll) problem.

I think FileZilla FTP Client problem does not related their functions. Filezilla v3.16 and later can not connect server without Security Protocol. Filezilla v3.22 and later breaks setting XML file. Filezilla v3.43 still works SFTP Server without Saving Setting on Extended kernel.

I think The Verge article is fake news. It is only that Microsoft does not stuck new feature but fix the defective of Windows 10.
