I have folder created on desktop I keep only shortcuts in it to all my sys apps but **** folder ALWAYS reverts to thumbnail view no matter what view i set it when i'm init the only thing I did with it is change its icon via properties-customize how to fix this stubborn behavior ?

get yourself Windows 8 Embedded at least during its beta it was possible to remove metro crap components it should be same as finished product too

IMHO your RAM is only problem, especially if you are putting 64bit windows on it increase it to +1 GB and you won't need any tricks for OS now unfortunately increase page file so your HDD covers the shortage of memory

doesn't simply re-inserting things via DISM does the date change ?

the only use of FB what I saw is to find maybe lost relatives who got themself a computer and internet but youngsters lost their ways of living and socialising in somewhat standard way (not saying normal coz even without it aint normal what they do these days)

always hated and always will all this era of "social" crap IRC, e-mail and forums rule !

disable UAC and pufff no Metro

I always go by logic, not feeling if X program (no matter which, there are tons of them) show some file or files are fragmented, then they are fragmented there is no reason why should X company dictate what MEANS to be fragmented by THEIR standard and what doesn't this is the same reason why people are customizing their OS-es because given UI isn't good and because certain components are useless yet again imposed by X company

you can encrypt files or stiff them in encrypted archive but then it won't install by "nature" you can scratch the cd/dvd but then it won't be readable at all

well that is also impossible, at least on NTFS systems as they suck when something needs to be reallocated I was implying "real versus MS results" and I'll take any 3rd party app solution over what MS imposes as "truth" or their "model for..." whatever crap

so you like approach of: if MS doesn't think something is fragmented then disk isn't fragmented at all

that one is terrible

have in mind that Office 2003 had inbuilt tracking software that reported MS exactly what was user clicking on (tool/menu) and what buttons on keyboard were pressed (as in ctrl+v or del or shift etc etc ....) might be some strayed component if you say its from 2005

could be many things but certanly not cheap solution for people look at Electric, there are so many ways to harnest it yet they charge electric bills like gold when and IF they ever make car engine that runs on water, water value will rise up too even if this planet has it too much

actually you could do following, but isn't quite legal yet also not illegal either find yourself Longhorn (Vista) reset build, the client version 5.2.3790.1232 this is XP since it is client version of Server 2003 SP1 RC its EULA makes it illegal, but its out of ANY support makes it legal - by logic it should accept any Server 2003 SP and hotfixes since its kernel is 5.2 (remember this one is 32bit) and is still XP so stiff Servers '03 SP2 init and all hotfixes (or try slipstream) and there you go

thats why I fake output browser string, as I'm using Opera 11 some sites block it coz it is "outdated" yet it isn't so my fake output string is Firefox 25, then when I reload the page they let me in, or in case like this the annoying warning goes away

I used to like 2003 but that was only when I was more enhusiastic (or whatever its spelled) but now I like 2007/2010 more for simple reason which is same reason why ribbon was made: I'm too lazy to digg through bunch of either hidden tools/toolbars to find some simple thing and/or the UI is mess then I realised I only liked 97 like UI coz I started in school on it, and naturally xp - 2003 followed but as said UI sucks big time and even if user can set toolbars to his liking and make it somewhat complete set of needed tools in 2 rows (well maybe now on wide screen it would be 1 row) I just cannot be arsed to set it all up, so its easier to simply go with mouse through tabbed UI and click things the only thing that annoys me on 2007/2010 is stupid positioning of File menu and Save/undo buttons - that is so retarded oh yes and the gigantic size (install) is also retarded

wow ! this was fantastic work, thanks alot it did the job !

rt7lite shrinks SxS but it only works for win7/sp1

you won't see aero anymore it clashes with their Metro vision, if anything they will progress everything to full screen app I wouldn't surprise that Explorer becomes like that Skydrive manager metro crap

well since safe mode loads rudimentary/basic display driver you could boot up some PE and replace it from original untouched XP ISO and try again

it crashes to me ------ @ CharlotteTheHarlot sorry, I misunderstood you then, values are: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\.htm] --- DOESN'T EXIST [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\.html] Opera.HTML [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\.htm] --- DOESN'T EXIST [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\.html] Opera.HTML [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.htm] --- DOESN'T EXIST [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.html] --- DOESN'T EXIST ----- the browser (main) is Opera v11 IE was removed (don't have it so no conflict should be here)

I have nothing under HkeyCurrentUser/Classes/ regarding to any .extension but under HKLM its the thing you wrote to import

did everything except this [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\Opera.HTML\DefaultIcon] so changed it to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\Opera.HTML\DefaultIcon] @="C:\\Program Files\\Opera\\Opera.exe" no change to icons
