If I understand what you are saying, they only reappear when you explore inside one of the hidden folders, correct? Well since the left column essentially shows a "bread crumb" trail of how to get to the current folder that you are in, what did you expect to see there? And from what MrGRiM says, if you then close that Explorer window after you are finished exploring in the hidden folder, then reopen Explorer in a non-hidden location, then the hidden folder should no longer be shown over on the left. Does that happen for you? If so, then it appears to be operating "as designed", nothing to do with OldNewExplorer, and you seem to be stuck with that behavior. Of course, I could be totally wrong about my understanding of the situation. Cheers and Regards

If you're interested in a minimal update list, effectively only what WU would push, then I'll point you to yet another list. See here. Even though the list is in a French sub-forum, you will note that: (That should answer your language question as well) Also note that there are other updates listed that can not be integrated, but must be added at RunOnce. Cheers and Regards

And besides an assumed increase in speed, what exactly would you expect to get out of such a test? Cheers and Regards

It looks like you are on your own. FWIW, I use an extension to my browser to download from YouTube. I use a version of Chrome as my browser so I use this extension, which works very well. No toolbars, adware, or other software, just the function I want. Cheers and Regards

And by text file, I mean that the .ram file can be opened with notepad. But from my brief looking around, all of the few .ram files I checked on that website just have the exact same file name inside the .ram file, but with the extension changed to .rm. So, after you download more of them to confirm my theory. whenever you want to play one of the streams from that site, you might try just changing http://xxxxxxxxx.rm, plug that address into MPC-HC and see if it will play. They do on my version of MPC-HC. Good luck. Cheers and Regards

I'm not sure how .ram files are supposed to work, but all they seem to be are a text file with the "real" address for the stream, ie: http://rockradioscrapbook.ca/chum-spragge-jun17-63.ram just has this in it: http://rockradioscrapbook.ca/chum-spragge-jun17-63.rm If I plug that last address, (http://rockradioscrapbook.ca/chum-spragge-jun17-63.rm), in my installed MPC-HC x64, with Shark007's codecs installed, using Ctrl+O and paste that address in "Open:" and hit OK, then the stream plays just fine. Cheers and Regards

It is NOT corrupt, it is fine, but it does require the latest version of WinRAR to open it. (I have WinRAR v5.00 x64.) Not even 7-Zip v9.30 Alpha is able to do it. So Kel might consider a different archive method for easier distribution. Cheers and Regards

I think what Andre means is that while Aero is still in development that it might actually be better to have to be a knowledgeable user in order to play with it. Tweaking tools might make it appear easy enough to use that some users will play with it that aren't really ready to do so, or they'll use a version of the tool that doesn't match the version of Aero that they're trying to adjust. They'll get themselves into trouble and then clog up the board with questions and complaints that so-and-so doesn't work right, when it was really their own fault. I'm sure that once Aero is finalized that all users will greatly appreciate your tweaking tool, and perhaps you and BM can jointly release it, ensuring that only documented and approved settings are adjusted, maybe even only over a set range to keep new users from "hurting" themselves. At least that's my two cents. Cheers and Regards

The OnePiece update pack can also be integrated with nLite, if you're more comfortable with that. Cheers and Regards

And what did you expect to have to do? It specifically states in the first post that there is no installer. Cheers and Regards

Oookayyyy, but you might want to reread the recent posts by Kel and me here, where I think you might have meant to post the above post. We suspect that what you read about "requiring" any previous SP probably was due to differences in applying the various SP to a running system, vs integrating them into a new source via nLite. Besides, isn't your "epic" less likely to have problems the fewer steps you have to take? Cheers and Regards

Welcome! Cheers and Regards

Years of testing is definitely correct. It's been so long that I, like you, can't point to the posts giving details, but it makes no effective difference to the end user which route you take to get there. As long as you end up with SP3, and the many, many updates since then of course, all OS commands, settings and programs will work exactly the same, all software I've ever heard of will install and operate the same, you will have no additional features or capabilities either way. As Kel explained, the difference is that when you go SP1a + SP2 + SP3, or any other path besides XP Gold + SP3 or XP SP3 directly, you end up with leftover files and registry entries that will never be used and serve no other purpose than make your installed OS and registry bigger and more bloated and possibly run infinitesimally slower, besides taking longer to install. Any post you read that said that some other software required you to go SP1a + SP2 + SP3 etc was just plain wrong. Probably because of some other issue they had when trying to do their install and some difference in their methods when they tried the two different approaches. [if you can find a link that says otherwise we might can try and refute it, or find other posts that contradict it.] Or as Kel mentioned above, they were talking about doing this on a running system. I assume, since you placed your question in this subforum and from your question, that you are talking about slipstreaming to create a new install source. It's a waste of time and disc space to do the intermediary steps and only leaves potential for future problems. Don't do it. Cheers and Regards

I could be wrong, but I think you can replace this: If ( -Not (Test-Path 'registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Jinje')){New-Item -Path 'registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\' -Name Jinje -Force;Set-ItemProperty -Path 'registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Jinje' -Name $PROGS -Value 1;}else{Set-ItemProperty -Path 'registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Jinje' -Name $PROGS -Value 1;}with this: If ( -Not (Test-Path 'registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Jinje')) {New-Item -Path 'registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\' -Name Jinje -Force;}Set-ItemProperty -Path 'registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Jinje' -Name $PROGS -Value 1;Correct?Cheers and Regards

And, just for fun, I found out if you choose almost every available option the price ends up over US$21,000!!! But it would make a heck of a desktop replacement system! Cheers and Regards

Sorry. You are not listening. You asked: Did you have a particular app you were trying to install that you needed this for? If so, tell us what it is, preferably with a link so that we can download it ourselves and experiment if we choose to. If you don't have a particular app that you needed to do this for, then why did you ask? Was it just a general question? If so, then the answer is "maybe, sometimes, for some apps". There is not a general purpose answer that fits most apps. It that answer is not good enough for you, then come back when you have a particular app you need help with. Cheers and Regards

Why don't you try it, provide feedback, then ask Tihiy if your feedback is worthy of that kind of reward? Asking ahead of time, IMHO, is just rude. Cheers and Regards

Can you provide a link to one of the problem Real Media stream links? I'm curious if my MPC-HC x64 with Shark007's x64 codecs can play it. Cheers and Regards

Sorry, that is the correct link. Ryan's has changed his policy recently to require membership to view some of the subforums. It's free and he does absolutely nothing with your signup data like send you emails or anything. Many of the members here are members there as well. You really ought to sign up. Don't worry, it's completely safe. Until you sign up, you can use this DL link. Size: 758,696 bytes MD5: b6aafa8c528552a41a2d820611e707ea Note that even though the app is v2.2.1, I forgot to update the changelog in the included ReadMe. The missing entry is: 2011-12-14 -- Version 2.2.1 Switched to using vmanda's downloader until I can get mine working again Please let me know how it goes. You can comment at Ryan's with your new account, or here if you prefer. Cheers and Regards

Andre, I can't find any working example that shows passing the administrator password with the batch. I only found posts by folks that say they can't get it to work. Can you elaborate or provide a link? Thanks in advance. Cheers and Regards

Me too. I essentially use mine as an mp3 player, for audio books, that can also be used as a phone in an emergency. Cheers and Regards

vinifera, since at this point there have been 100's of updates to Win7 SP1, besides your rebellion against "the man" , why are you running Win7 SP1 with no updates? If you are trying to just wait until SP2 I'm afraid that is not going to happen. Cheers and Regards

I guess you only have 13 since the Dolphins are listed twice? For the rest you could probably find them easily enough with a search something like what I used to find the Falcons "atlanta falcons radio broadcast online"? Cheers and Regards

You can also use MPC HomeCinema x64 with a decent set of codecs. Check out these. They are regularly and frequently updated. There are additional x64 codecs to install for use in an x64 OS with a x64 media player. If you look in the Tools section, you will find links to versions of MPC-HC, both x86 and x64, that have been specifically tweaked to work well with Shark007's codecs. As far as I know, they will play RealMedia files. Please let us know if that solution works for you. Cheers and Regards

If you got that file directly from tomasz86, then that is a false positive. tomasz86 does not distribute infected files. Period. AFAIK, the reason you can't delete or repair it is because it is use. Don't try. Just tell Avast to go away, leave the file alone, and don't bother you again about it. Cheers and Regards
