Environment variables are stored in the registry in Windows ME, so yes, but apart from that , nope. It should make no difference for a program however where Windows stores these variables.
I see on the Web people reporting problems with trying to register old versions of Tracktion.

I've set userprofile and others as environment variables pointing to my application data folder long ago.
What applications have you got problem with?

If it's ok to mention here, I have found another free program that just recently started handling HEIC on XP too. It has an editor, viewer and converter!
Sure man, what is it?

I downloaded this on my tablet, I'll be checking out if this can work on my Windows ME system tomorrow as I've only partial read support for this format on that system and none for encoding. I can read some flavors of it in XnView via a susie plugin and an old version of Image Magick and others with Gpac, and yet some other with nothing.
BTW, with regards to png decoding, compression levels have to to do with file size vs speed not quality, png is always lossless.
Heic, avif and jxl beat old formats quite massively with regards to filesize for identical quality but are all damn slow, about 100x slower to decode in a few tests I made, so nothing I am going to adopt for my own use, especially as storage space is not issue anymore these days. Nice to have decoding options for these formats though.

Go in folder options, filetypes tab, find folders entry, select it and click on the "Advanced" button. Set explore as default action.

If you want a folder to open like when you run explorer, showing the tree view, then, as I've said above, you need to change the default action for opening folders from Open to Explore.

Open a folder, set it how you want it to be, then go in folder options through the menu of that opened folder and click on the button that says something like: "View all folders like this one".
If this does not work, and it probably doesn't, then you can change, in the registry, the default action when double clicking on a folder from Open to Explore.
Doing this however will likely not let you browse in place anymore but instead will open a new window for each folder you open within a folder.

I don't know, you're the one to decide.
What happens if you paste the command line in an open Mintty window and then press enter on the keyboard?
0 -
It doesn't work for me either and neither does it work by using the run box, I guess the command line is way too long to be run this way.
It does work fine by running the batch file from Mintty however meaning that if you want to fiddle with this command line you need a bash environment to execute it.

For Minecraft version 1.7.2, the main executable is 1.7.2.jar located in %APPDATA%\.minecraft\versions\1.7.2\
Launched with TL.exe, the command line to execute 1.7.2.jar and instantiate the game interface is 3935 characters long (as retrieved with TaskInfo2000). Most of this (2696 characters) is taken by the classpath (-cp) argument.

Youtube-dl still supports as low as python 2.6 and there is no sign this is going to change so there is not too much to worry about for xp users IMO. You can always fall back on it whatever happens with the dlp fork. I compile my own youtube-dl.exe from git master with python 2.7 when needed as with the recent breakages for use on my ME system.

Looks like 1.16.5 is the latest running on Java 8 but as with all other versions above 1.7.2 I have tried the game window doesn't initialize for me with it. I can make it visible using Faber Toys and play a bit but it is slow and unstable. Minecraft 1.17 requires Java 16.

I meant Minecraft version. You can use any Java version you want with the launchers as far as I've been able to see. They use Java 17 by default but you can override this in the settings for both launchers. Newest Minecraft versions however seem to actually require Java 17.

Which is the highest version you managed to run before?

I can run Minecraft up to version 1.7.2 on my Windows ME desktop system with nVidia 7800GS and latest unofficial drivers. I used the latest tlaun.ch thingie. Your ATLaunch from the Google drive folder seems much more advanced/configurable but it requires having a paid Microsoft account to instantiate any game so couldn't test with it. Issues for running higher versions before java 17 is required appear to be down to OpenGL and I would think that would be the same for your system with mesa.

I see no relevant links in the video description, nothing specifically pertaining to Minecraft anyway.

I just wanted the links to the installers you're using, not a video tutorial please.

Geforce 6/7 and 8 AGP/PCI-E Driver Edition for Win98/ME by Zak!
in Windows 9x/ME
Posted
This is wrong, Geforce 8 cards don't work under 9x. That post you quote is from 2007 and at that time it was briefly believed they did because those who did the unofficial driver added them to the inf files (but without actually testing any). Nobody ever reported success running any since then.
