vinifera

in last 7 days, when I do rclick on desktop and personalize all my themes saved (about 15 of them) do not show now preview of wallpaper (thumb) there they are all black yet they work on change... what can cause this ? scrap that seems win7 needs more than 400 MB free space to show preview of this O_o

anyone find this funny after so many years ? one of crown features of NT 6 just got dumped on, or should I say dumped off http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/advisory/2719662

that won't happen and if it does, it will be either in win9 or 10 "re-fixed" old ones and current ones don't get code rewritten

the OPPCOMME seems nice thanks

well it doesn't have to be fancy UI as I said if there is a script or something... as long as its been "explained" by someone (and is free ofc)

don't shoot me for this I'm sure there is no such a nice tool like nLite was, for WinME but is there any script or something for WinME that allows user to remove unwanted things safely ? to make it more less size ?

I totally forgot that I had to use fdisk my bad sorry...

why not use something far more faster and better ? a portable search, I'd recommend UltraSearch by JAM software, it reads directly from MFT, no indexing no long search... and its free if you run an old machine, then again, portable, free, from voidtools Everything search(er), tho this one indexes for database, but its indexing is fast

is there some sort of "rescue CD" or PE like ERD for 9x/ME, but that can reckognise empty/raw/non formated hard disk and format it to FAT32 ? (don't tell me to use 98/ME boot cd, that one failed)

I use "my event viewer" from nirsoft (free) its instant fast windows one sucks too much

think you can hex edit them and replace 6.0 with 5.1 but dunno what about certificates know someone tried in past to give from NT 4 to NT 3

I managed to find reg entry that enables that context menu back and indeed gadgets start to work then and sidebar.exe appears in task manager but again if i try to run it alone it wont start

after I upgraded PC specs, I had problems with XP, but I was a die hard user of XP made my custom installs exact the way I wanted with 7 I couldn't do so much except making it little lighter but overall 7 aint that bad if you remove some things like IE, WMP, .net 3.5 (too bad 2 cant be removed), useless indexing service, tweak WinSxS to minimum but on piece of crap like vista and 8 i wouldn't go dead

in RTM it worked as above said, no gui option in msconfig don't see why wouldn't it work with SP1 and 2 too

nothing happens does this thing maybe need .net 3.5 to run ? (tho I'm not getting any error messages) regarding dependency walker it reports ieshims.dll that file cannot be found but i have it, even copied it to sidebar folder tho I do have IE feature "uninstalled" via programs and features

since i used rt7lite to customize my win7 install seems I removed sidebar support as well now I opened original install.wim and extracted back "sidebar" folder into program files and registered back with regsvr32 both sbdrop.dll and wlsrvc.dll but I can't run sidebar.exe itself it won't start at all any cure ?

1. yes i have disk cleanup, the cleaning restore points didn't help 2. i tried with full permitions and all that, nothing happens think ill try via ERD commander then they don't take much space but are annoying to have something so old and useless

i have about 10 "folders" on my 2nd partition named like "_restore{38E91C9A-E678-4BD6-97F6-7A758759477C}" under D:\System Volume Information some date even from my years of using WinME (2003) some from XP (2007) and I see them using Everything searcher but I can't remove them I do have disabled sys restore all together on both partitions when I go to "explore" them via CMD, it reports "path not found" Unlocker can't remove them (even if they have no handle) I can't enter D:\System Volume Information via cmd as access is denied, thus any attrib can't be removed so what should I do ? is booting via PE only choice to remove them ?

tried with rt7 lite ?

or use ViPad from lee soft (free) beats the hell out of win8 metro

its quite irrelevant to me if my win will boot in 7 or 15 secs its the time it takes me to turn on monitor and sit down on chair I'd say speed goes to 7 coz 8 UI sucks too much for any normal use

don't think you can metro is now merged with explorer.exe afaik alpha versions up to DP had this inside shsxs.dll

I avoid .net like a disease on XP you still have choice not to have any of versions to be resident anything above xp/server 03 requires .net 2 and cannot be removed

thanks safe mode did the trick

there are some reg inserts but in my own experience it messes things even more its just one of those things you'll gave to bite teeth to and accept it
