I don't think you switched to the text only editor (the top left icon). In the "full featured" mode lines wrap OK but don't in the text only view.

Yes and no. You can have a valid HTML5 website without using CSS3 (or any CSS at all). Check: http://motherfuckingwebsite.com On my website too I use some CSS3 but no HTML5 elements. Don't get me wrong. I do agree that the Web is slow and bloated, and thus require a powerful computer to browse comfortably. But I don't agree it's HTM5 / CSS3 to be the main problem. Sure, abusing CSS3 will cause poor performance. Yet, at the moment it's HUNDREDS of useless scripts (most used just for ads and tracking) running in the background that make even a fast machine stutter. Try to disable CSS. I doubt it will make any visible difference on the majority of websites. Once you disable Javascript the difference in performance is huge.

HTML5 itself is just a skeleton. I think it is useful to distinguish between: 1. Web sites slow to load - bloated code, bloated images & videos, ads, way too many HTTP requests, etc. 2. Web sites slow to perform - overused Javascript, overused CSS, audio & video autoplay, Flash, ads, etc. You can probably name many more things responsible for the overall slow & poor experience of "modern web". From what I have seen, just disabling Javascript alone leads to dramatic improvement in speed, especially on slower devices. Once I disabled JS on my old Android phone (using an older version of UC Browser), navigation through web sites suddenly became a pleasant and smooth experience instead of the constant struggle it had been before. There will be many reasons for the current situation. I myself believe that one of the problems is that web designers themselves use very powerful computers and simply cannot comprehend how slow the whole thing is on computers used by ordinary people.

I have removed some of the older content from my website as it was outdated and no longer supported. 1. The Download Archive is still available. It's just been reorganised a little bit. You can still find there all official updates and some unofficial packages such as different releases of UURollup, etc. At the moment the URL is not listed separately but you can access it using the links posted above by jaclaz (note: you will find the URL on my website too if you search for "download archive" as several updates link to it). 2. When it comes to UURollup, for the time being I would suggest to switch to blackwingcat's kernel packages if you want to have access to the latest improvements. I'll try to provide an updated UURollup package in the near future but it may take some time. 3. Update Rollup 2 was discontinued long time ago. You shouldn't really use any more. If you want fully updated Windows 2000 I would suggest to use HFSLIP 2000 with my list of updates to prepare an updated Windows 2000 installation and then install UURollup / BWC kernel in the running system. You can use my pre-packaged HFSLIP archive if you don't want to download all of the updates and hotfixes one by one (note: the package is English only).

I would say that when it comes to average PC usage web browsing is currently one of the most resource intensive activities. The more "modern" (= bloated) the website is, the more powerful computer you need to view it comfortably. The popular web browsers themselves need high end components to operate smoothly too. Considering the current trends I won't be surprised if the situation gets even worse in the future.

This is not a TZ update. It updates: atmfd.dllgdiplus.dllwin32k.sysThe last TZ update is still the KB3062741 hotfix. Perhaps you meant KB3077715.

I get something like this: This happens in Windows 8.1 and 10 for sure (both x86 and x64). The generated number is different in each case. The files have both system and hidden attributes set. Just to clarify - you must not have any reg.exe in HFTOOLS (or HFEXPERT\WIN\SYSTEM32) because HFSLIP will use it instead than the system's one.

Some useful links: http://www.ghacks.net/2015/08/14/comparison-of-windows-10-privacy-tools/ http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/08/even-when-told-not-to-windows-10-just-cant-stop-talking-to-microsoft/ http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/63874-REPO-Windows-10-TELEMETRY-REPOSITORY http://www.dasm.cz/clanek/jak-z-windows-10-udelat-desktopovy-system (in Czech but the commands are in English) Instead of wasting time on looking for all those specific MS addresses it may be better / easier to just use firewall to block everything except for Windows Update, and then unblock specific things if necessary.

I've already thought about this I want to add all Windows XP / 2003 updates which install files that itself are 100% compatible with Windows 2000. I think there are not many left. UURollup should only cover those which require other unofficial files (BWC kernel, etc.) to work. Even then it might be actually better to have a "core" version of UURollup and just slipstream those XP/ 2003 updates directly. Doing so would greatly simplify the whole process, especially when it comes to maintenance. The drawback would obviously be impossibility to install them manually in a running system.

One more update! Added twelve new updates and hotfixes.Updated HFSLIP 2000 to version 1.0.1.A new HFSLIP full package is also available to download.What's important is that some of the newly added XP / 2003 updates were previously available as unofficial updates. Now, with HFSLIP 2000, it's possible to slipstream them directly. Check the changelog for details.

I have created my own fork called HFSLIP 2000 in order to force slipstreaming of XP/2003 updates into Windows 2000 and I wanted to have full control over the process. Yet, here are some fixes I would suggest to implement: 1. Change ATTRIB %SOURCESS%\I386\SETUPREG.HIV.LOG -H&DEL/Q/F %SOURCESS%\I386\SETUPREG.HIV.LOGto DEL/Q/F/AH "SOURCESS\I386\SETUPREG.HIV*" 2>NULDEL/F "SOURCESS\I386\SETUPREG.HIV.LOG" 2>NULThe first line removes useless hidden log files created by reg.exe in newer version of Windows and the second one removes the visible LOG file in Windows 2000. 2. Add :: Check for 7za.exe requirementIF NOT EXIST HFTOOLS\7ZA.EXE ( IF "%HostOS%"=="Vista" ( FOR %%I IN (891122 wmfdist) DO ( IF EXIST "HF\*%%I*" ( ECHO You do not have 7za.exe.&ECHO.&ECHO Press any key to close HFSLIP.&PAUSE >NUL&EXIT ) ) ))before CALL :FOLDERPREPWmfdist.exe (included in 891122 but can be used separately too) doesn't run in >=Vista at all so you need 7za.exe to unpack it. 3. Change IF EXIST HF\wmfdist.exe ( SET MPLEVEL=32&ECHO Processing wmfdist.exe...&MD TEMP\WMPCOD&HF\wmfdist.exe /Q /T:"%PREP%\TEMP\WMPCOD" /C IF EXIST TEMP\setup_wm.exe DEL/Q/F TEMP\WMPCOD\setup_wm.exe XCOPY/DHY TEMP\WMPCOD TEMP >NUL&RD/Q/S TEMP\WMPCOD)to IF EXIST HF\wmfdist.exe ( SET MPLEVEL=32&ECHO Processing wmfdist.exe...&MD TEMP\WMPCOD IF "%HostOS%"=="Vista" ( >NUL HFTOOLS\7ZA x HF\wmfdist.exe -o"%PREP%TEMP\WMPCOD" -r ) ELSE ( START/WAIT HF\wmfdist.exe /Q /T:"%PREP%TEMP\WMPCOD" /C ) IF EXIST TEMP\setup_wm.exe DEL/Q/F TEMP\WMPCOD\setup_wm.exe XCOPY/DHY TEMP\WMPCOD TEMP >NUL&RD/Q/S TEMP\WMPCOD)Use 7za.exe to unpack wmfdist.exe in >=Vista. Feel free to modify this part if you can make it simpler. 4. Change FOR /F %%I IN ('FINDSTR/VIER "\.SYS \.INF \.ADM \.CHM \.CHQ \.TTF \.HTT \.HLP \.MFL \.MOF" WORK\NSFALL1.TXT') DO ECHO>>%SOURCESS%\I386\TXTSETUP.SIF %%I = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0and FOR /F %%I IN ('FINDSTR/IER "\.TTF" WORK\NSFALL1.TXT') DO ECHO>>%SOURCESS%\I386\TXTSETUP.SIF %%I = 1,,,,,,,22,0,0to FOR /F %%I IN ('FINDSTR/VIER "\.SYS \.INF \.ADM \.CHM \.CHQ \.TTC \.TTF \.HTT \.HLP \.MFL \.MOF" WORK\NSFALL1.TXT') DO ECHO>>SOURCESS\I386\TXTSETUP.SIF %%I = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0and FOR /F %%I IN ('FINDSTR/IER "\.TTC \.TTF" WORK\NSFALL1.TXT') DO ECHO>>SOURCESS\I386\TXTSETUP.SIF %%I = 1,,,,,,,22,0,0to properly slipstream TTC fonts.

Another big update! Nine Windows XP updates have been added to the list (check the changelog). I've updated the full HFSLIP package. I've also made some cosmetic changes to the website (the table with updates is now a little bit wider). I've analysed all XP updates listed at http://xdot.tk and in POSReady 2009 Updates Addon. I still need to re-check http://hfslip.altervista.org/updatelist.htm if there are any more compatible updates. Thank you for informing me about the problem! I'll try to check it when I start working on UURollup.

I'll try to explain in details. I was originally inspired by this Polish blog: http://www.dobreprogramy.pl/wielkipiec/Analiza-telemetrii-w-Windows-10-czy-ktos-wysilil-sie-sprawdzic,65392.html The author basically advises against using the HOSTS file to block specific addresses. The problem is that they come from various different sources and no one is really sure what each of them means. There is also no guarantee that they are the same for all users and will not change in the future. He used the openly available Windows 10 settings to block telemetry and then analyzed remaining network traffic with Microsoft Network Monitor. The tool creates a log so you can just leave it open and then check what has been going on. There is some interesting information about hidden services and other suspicious things, but I'm not really knowledgeable about that and have no time to translate the whole post. At the end, he recommends to use Windows Firewall to block all of the unnecessary connections. He proves his point by presenting a screen shot with a much reduced network traffic after applying his firewall rules. Unfortunately, he doesn't provide a ready-to-apply list of specific rules to block as, in his words, they will be different in each system (I don't really agree with him here as there are at least a few that are always present). Anyway, as far as I can tell, it should be safe to block all outbound connections for: Search (twice) Windows Feedback (twice) These two are the most suspicious, and from my own observation using the MS Network Monitor most of the traffic goes away after blocking them. You may also want to have a look at and block outbound connections for: Microsoft Photos MSN Money MSN News Windows Default Lock Screen Windows Spotlight Work or school account Your account (twice; if not using MS account) I haven't tested blocking all of these so please be careful, but I'm really not sure why things such as lock screen would need outbound access. However, just a quick look reveals that such rules did not exist in Windows 8. They are new to Windows 10. As far as SearchUI.exe goes, you can either remove or rename the file itself to get rid of the process. However, doing so will cause a lot of errors in the Event Viewer. The built-in search will also stop working so you will have to rely on 3rd party alternatives (Classic Shell, Agent Ransack, etc.).

Windows Search connects to the Internet as soon as you start typing, even if Cortana is disabled. It can be blocked using the built-in firewall. Before: After:

Yes! It's just the script with a few required tools. You can find the full HFSLIP package in the other folder. That download is 498 MB.

Big update today! HFSLIP 2000 is officially available to download. At the moment it's not much different from the original HFSLIP. The main features are slipstreaming XP/2003 updates into Win2K and ability to run in newer Windows as administrator. I've also fixed a few other bugs. I'll try to add a detailed explanation of all the features later on.Thanks to HFSLIP 2000 I've added a lot of Windows XP updates to the list. There are still more left but they will require more extensive testing while these ones "just" work.Fixed my website to look better in IE5/6.Check http://windows2000.tk I've also uploaded a new HFSLIP package with all the updates included. As always, available in the Download Archive. By the way, I'm still playing around withe the folder structure in the Archive so don't be surprised if there are frequent changes. Thank you! I've also never liked the original colour scheme and always changed it to something else.

The screen shot speaks for itself. The Editor used to work fine before, as far as I remember. I've also seen it mentioned on one of the Polish forums that this was a bug in the IPB forum software. I'm using SeaMonkey 2.33.1 @ Windows 7.

Just to make it clear - the script is not written by me, just taken from one of the Reddit comments Also check: http://www.tenforums.com/customization/7161-how-uninstall-apps-using-powershell.html. Not really related to privacy but still useful when debloating the system. Be careful with uninstalling everything with Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackageIt will remove the whole Windows Store in the process.

I have just uploaded the first new HFSLIP package. You can find it in the Download Archive under Unofficial -> HFSLIP. The package is English only and covers all updates listed currently on my website. A test version of my modified HFSLIP 2000 script is included there too. Just copy your Windows 2000 files into the SOURCE folder and run the script. Use "run as administrator" if you are running the script in Windows Vista or newer. PS Server only updates are included in the package as well and the files are slipstreamed but Windows 2000 Professional won't use them. It's easier tor me to prepare one package for all editions of Win2K rather than separate ones. At the moment I'm fixing my website to look better in older IEs, and I'm planning to add more XP/2003 updates to the lists together with the HFSLIP 2000 script.

Why would it be advisable for the user to change the name of PC? What is doing so going to do/affect? Probably because Windows 10 doesn't let you choose a custom name but rather generates a random one during the setup process. I'd change it "just in case". Check also this: https://fix10.isleaked.com/

It does work in Microsoft Edge here. Can you tell me what exactly happens when you try to open the site? Can you show me a screen shot?

Even if it is another issue , the referenced thread is "good to know" , as a side note the proposed (temporary) fix/solution:http://xpexplorer.com/windows10_dpi_blurry_fix/ provides IMNSHO yet another of the "queer" ways seemingly this stupid OS behaves (bolded/underlined/coloured to highlight): I have used the solution suggested here: http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/62528-SOLVED-Windows-10-higher-DPI-Win8DpiScaling-problem They propose to add to autostart: REG ADD "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v DpiScalingVer /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00001018 /fREG ADD "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v Win8DpiScaling /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000001 /fREG ADD "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v LogPixels /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000078 /fbut these settings are for 125% scaling. I wanted to set scaling to 110% and only adjusting the first value: REG ADD "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v DpiScalingVer /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00001018 /fwas enough to fix the problem. I'm guessing that this is the cause of the issue: Source: http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/my-first-experience-with-windows-10-wow.777304/

I've found this article: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/07/how-to-do-a-clean-install-of-windows-10-from-windows-7-and-8/ and from the comments: That is what I am doing, Speccy can tell you the key once you are on Win 10.

I've managed to modify HFSLIP in order to slipstream XP/2003 into Windows 2000. It will now be possible to use those updates and add the updated files to the Windows 2000 source. There seem to exist at least a few of such updates whose files are compatible (and this is without any extended kernel, just vanilla Win2K!). Before messing around with the XP/2003 files and WMP9 related material I've decided to officially update my website under http://windows2000.tk (without "/new"). I now need to add an HFSLIP section and prepare the newly modified HFSLIP script for public download. I'm now calling it HFSLIP2000. Despite the name I haven't done anything to break the XP/2003 compatibility but also haven't tested it with them. The script is fully targeted at Windows 2000 though. This new HFSLIP script will be required to slipstream the new updates.
