perfect ! thanks alot !

the autorun is hardcoded even if you manually remove it, on next app run it will re-insert itself (real time scanner doesn't matter here, this is its service)

I'd like my mouse by pressing the wheel to activate flip3d but obviously it needs some sort of mapper, and my mouse is old so no driver would allow it anyone know any program to do it ?

I have it disabled its not problem as problem, more like annoyance and classic winOS distrust as when I see such cloning, always kicks in either a malware or some process that is digging where shouldn't

ok time to bump finally found what is causing this, and this is affected by ALL win7 systems out there if you have a browser with DL manager (and all of them do now), or if you use torrent client, or anything simmiliar and if you right click on your download/file being downloaded, and do "Open Folder" or "Open Path" it will open the folder of file you clicked on and with that new instance of explorer.exe

problem with portables is you can't update them

small resource taker ?

exactly

MBAM is more generic than specific its not bad to use both I just hate how MBAM plants itself into startup for no reason and you can't remove the **** thing

ahahah I just love this http://www.theverge.com/2014/1/30/5362156/windows-8-1-update-1-boot-to-desktop-by-default ehehehe they can't decide anymore should this be OS for touch or classic ah the blessed irony

with great joy I am writing that another Qt based browser has spawned it is as Light as Qtweb, but this one is made to mimic classic Opera UI its name is Otter Browser, check it out, its in early alpha and is much better than QtWeb already

this makes no sense at all vista uses quick launch toolbar, which can be easily reinstated in "7" too which again contains same shortcut as vista as for right button on "7", nobody is forcing you to use it, beside it is barely noticable under glass and basic theme (btw I use one from quicklaunch as its easier to reach from center of screen than going all the way to the right) lets not forget how vista follows clunky taskbar and its idiotic grouping just like xp had comparing that of that from "7" is total crap, I'd take iconized "superbar" any time and another thing that vista fails at is UI of File Manager, just check that folder tree on the left everything is stiffed one below the other, so squished its not only annoying but ugly as hell at least "7" provides divided groups where user can easily see what is and what's not

seems like Update 1 will allow pinning of metrocrap apps to taskbar http://www.winbeta.org/news/modern-apps-can-be-pinned-taskbar-latest-windows-81-update-1-builds is it just me or this move + "threshold" which will bring windoved metrocrap apps to desktop is admitting metro was failure from beginning ?

I love this crap from their "desktop blog" lulz... 60 releases of garbage and 4 major releases of nonsense

- don't use Java, its a nesting place for viruses

hehe fair enough but comment still stands as in having major "known" exploits unpatched I know I always loved XP SP1, because it was so light while for some reason SP2 was system hog but later when all those viruses like sasser and others started to annoy I just had to get the fixes, and things like this no AV or firewall CAN FIX nor prevent as these are backdoor exploits on system level

very out of context and this was quite a dirty trick by you some are relevant, not all, I agree many hotfixes, especially in SP2 screwed the OS but those that are for system level & kernel, I do agree user should have btw quoting system on this board sucks !

can't go more stupid than this basically you rely on your AV for everything while known backdoors and weakness are still there

problem isn't just in XP its in all NT win versions if you disable UAC in any NT 6, it is equally weak as XP/2000 is about 1.5 years ago I got certain virus under win7 SP1, that installed itself under SYSTEM account !!!! UAC was off (gee I thought SYSTEM was protected by certain restrictions even with UAC off - guess NOT)

funny thing is, if they just tweaked win7, to for example boot faster and be maybe lighter on resources thus RAM requirement be lower they'd got perfect OS (well at least as NT goes...) after XP and 2000 question is what made them to make such radical and stupid change... was it fear from google and apple ? (who cares)

even if I despise what vista became as final product I'd never use RTM, not even SP1, SP2 would be my only choice as many things are fixed and tweaked with SP2 so while you're determined to use Vista, why not slipstream SP2 init and solve your miseries also some things like Platform Update was released after SP2 (I think), should slipstream that thing too

problem with that idea is that its not doable many NT 6 features are simply incompatible with NT 5 tho believe it or not vista shell and explorer DO work on NT 5 via alky but I doubt that kernel changes could be simply reintegrated, same goes for ReFS or even superfetch same goes for UAC and DWM while some things from business side is better to deny

to above posts, simply put, they won't care win2k sp4 + rollup still has system exploits, do they care ?, no same will be with XP, why should they care, it ran out of its support cycle and thats it soon will come vista with same problem activation servers, again why should they care, since you're technically not buying their OS but simply rent it, otherwise it wouldn't be illegal to modify it, even with nLite your only salvation is to use XP Pro VL, and then backport XP POS patches, as that one go till 2019 is it legal ?, its up to you

since you didn't write which ones are for both we can only guess they can be or .net frameworks or visual c++ redist packages or some other stuff

maybe if someone ports over Protogon/ReFS
