If it ain't broken, don't fix it.

I just hope that devs won't be so stupid and all go on metro crap ride I f***ing hate and turn off page that uses that type look there is huge conflict in todays time and future to come human nature, even by old paper books, was to scroll with eyes for more content down same as you are reading a word document, or pdf on PC and up to now, web pages were made the same but with screens becoming wide and wider, Microsoft (obviously) with win8 is pushing horizontal scroll crap and this will do no good to anyone but as trends always are, idiotism wins

ehehehehhh what else to do than laugh... fanboys will stay fanboys till they go blind

go for it many people using w8 will surely be thankfull

well said w8 is overpriced garbage

all I know that whole java 6 version was so **** exploitable that I got infected by rouge that planted itself to SYSTEM account and then naturally used good old internet explorer to screw things up all NT's were vulnerable to this, probably 9x line too

try also Open with, navigate to C:\Windows\System32 and find shell32.dll be sure that on open with dialog down right on bottom you chose ALL files as *cough* stupid win7 sets programs only you will be presented with Windows Shell Common Dll which opens this themepack

good question

well I used yumeyao's addon with nlite maybe it was bugged version

I'd disagree very much, the w8 is pushing these "metro" apps, all full screen, all with reduced functionality, and UI I won't event comment... the "windows blue" as they call it, (alleged) inside informer leaked info that MS is pushing most apps to go fullscreen if this is not a failure then I don't know what is windows will not be desktop OS anymore, win 8 is most likely last "hybrid" of both desktop and this useless metro unless at win9 they split windows OS to 3 branches (desktop, tablet and server), then it will become tablet only and THAT WILL SUCK

this post makes no sense at all 1. he is not hero 2. he isn't doing some secret plot against rich folks, company and himself need money 3. MS is pushing this crappy OS to catch up with portable devices in race vs Apple and Google 4. W8 will fail 5. Steve Jobs said (D5 Conference), tablet devices will be dominant in future (star trek comparison), well not yet 6. #4

I've seen many good "net communities" go that way best cure is to avoid them when such thing happen and find alternative

I'm even surprised they do fixes for IE 8 it is in their interest to kill win XP already

not that many and those that do, you can surely find better alternatives the only thing that is essential for PC users that uses .net is AMD(ati) display control center, thankfully nvidia isn't that dumb to force people on .net

my 1st idea was to simply replace iexplore.exe with either portable opera or firefox and rename iexplore.exe to maybe iexplore1.exe but since I don't know how system calls (based on what) the browser for shell, I guess this would be dumb idea

if you mean on win7 no it just isn't there anymore its nor hidden nor "hidden OS file", folder only has ieinstal.exe and ielowutil.exe while system wide anything related left is: ie4uinit.exe, IEExec.exe and ieUnatt.exe

well problem is solved now, I took most stupid way re-downloading of wmp11 installer but to answer: slipstream was via nlite but yes seems something gone wrong there

well in my defense I use win7, and win7 removes the .exe when removing it via cpanel thought that XP did same before good people here told it does not yeh... that sucks ok thanks

no, no player except wmp 11 on pc this is fresh install and when i do on settings via wmp, then nothing at all happens when i double click the media files

shortucts are not problem the ie.exe is

here is a story... few months ago I slipstreamed IE 8 and WMP 11 onto XP SP3 cd but now I have problems that WMP won't launch itself to play any music or video when double click on file instead it always launches Open with dialog no matter if i set via Open with "always open with wmp", or via control panel -> add remove -> set programs access & defaults it always doesn't react what should I do to make it work normal ?

sucks to be them just imagine to be forced to use Vista and Win 8 (at their time) not to mention Zuuuune hahah

probably hidden content did you enable "show system protected files" and "show hidden files & folders" ?

but isn't the OS shell core more from shell32.dll explorer.exe and mshtml.dll ? and not the ie.exe itself ?

in what way ? MS lawsuit or something ?
