Of course, I have personal claims but what I wrote has nothing to do with my personal claims. It's just the way member usually behave in this forum, in a polite and correct form, following the forum rules and etiquette. And they are non-negotiable! Furthermore, I gave you a lot of tips to do all that, easily and correctly. Unfotunately, this is not the truth. It's just your subjective impression. Of course! I do not have to waste my time in assisting a member who doesn't appreciate it. I already helped you a lot, and I'm about to deeply regret that. Therefore, good luck and have a nice day! No more help or comments from me. Regards, AstroSkipper

Hi @visionhelp. you should reconsider how to post or act in MSFN. Multiple posting of the same content is frowned upon and not allowed under the forum rules. The same applies to opening a thread that already exists thematically. Beside that, your posts are difficult to understand, unfortunately. This is an English speaking forum. It's not easy for people who are not proficient in the English language to write comments. For this reason, I recommend to use Google translator only. Write in short, clear German sentences and let Google translate them! Clear, short German sentences will lead to understandable English ones. I say this due to the circumstance that I always have to guess what you actually want to say while reading your replies. Here are some tips how to post and to act in MSFN forum: MSFN Forum Rules: Read carefully the rules: https://msfn.org/board/guidelines/ MSFN Forum Etiquette: Read carefully this post: https://msfn.org/board/topic/39016-msfn-forum-etiquette/?do=findComment&comment=222267 Quotations: A quotation can be done by marking a text of a post and clicking "Quote". Or you can use the quoting button in a post of a member, left down below. Here is a quotation of a sentence in your previous post: Mentions: To talk to or to mention a member, you have to "mention" this person by typing @ and the member's name in the commenting editor. For example, if you want to mention me, type @AstroSkipper. Here is the result: @AstroSkipper Quoting or mentioning leads to a notification sent to the member you want to talk to or mention. Only in these cases does another member notice that you want to speak to them. Upvoting or Liking: Liking means you simply like the content of a member's post. Upvoting means you agree to the content of a member's post. You do not have to like or to upvote contents but it's a form of rating and respect to good contents or the efforts of a member. Upvoting or Liking can be done in a member's post, in the right corner down below. Kind regards, AstroSkipper

Of course! Here, you can post all questions or requests relating to enabling of TLS 1.1 and 1.2 in Windows XP. Actually, you shouldn't have opened a new thread for such requests. But everything associated with ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu 3V1, is off-topic here, and should have been posted in my thread "ProxHTTPSProxy and HTTPSProxy in Windows XP for future use". It's not as complicated as it seems to be. Cheers, AstroSkipper

Read the FAQ on the homepage of Offline Windows Password & Registry Editor: http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/faq.html In your BIOS settings, you have to set booting from USB or external medium. The name of this option may vary, depending on your motherboard. I prefer booting fron CD/DVD. Cheers, AstroSkipper

BTW, my Windows XP Professional, fully POSReady updated, is a Corporate Edition either. Therefore, nothing to worry about! Cheers, AstroSkipper

BTW, I already used Offline Windows Password & Registry Editor to reset my admin password in the past, and it's simply great. You don't want to reset your password. Therefore, it doesn't matter. And in the described case above, you have to have EFS encrypted files. The conclusion is unfounded and not comprehensible. And if you have a complete backup of your system partition, you have nothing to lose. Therefore, follow the instructions! Or leave it! PS: The process of deleting or editing the registry key from outside, will last just a few minutes. Creating a fresh image of your system partition, will need the most time. Chhers, AstroSkipper

You're welcome! If the key is deleted completely from outside, you should have no problems to apply the POSReady hack in Windows itself. But you can try, instead of deleting the registry entry, to edit it to your needs, i.e., setting the value to 1. If something goes wrong, you'll be glad to have a backup to restore the possibly damaged system partition. You'll never know what will happen when modifying Windows from outside. Cheers, AstroSkipper

You're welcome! No, it's an offline registry editor either. I don't use this kind of tools. A lot of them are crap. But I think it's not able to do this or to do this successfully. Here is the instruction how to use Offline Windows Password & Registry Editor: Boot Offline Windows Password & Registry Editor. Mount the partition with your windows installation, select the full option, change to the regkey and delete it. Then exit the program and write the changes back to disk. Boot back to Windows and the regkey is gone. Cheers, AstroSkipper

A registry key which is already in use can't be deleted in Windows itself. You have to do that from outside. Use, for example, the tool Offline Windows Password & Registry Editor: http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/ I recommed to perform a backup of your system partition, first! Cheers, AstroSkipper

The corresponding key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\WPA\PosReady seems to already exist. Check this key by using Regedit or any other registry editor! If this registry hack was already performed, the entry should look like as following: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\WPA\PosReady] "Installed"=dword:00000001 If you had applied this hack the first time, this registry key couldn't have been in use at all 'cause it weren't still there. Therefore, I think the hack has already been applied. Simply said: a nonexistent key cannot be in use. Cheers, AstroSkipper

Yeah, I totally agree with you. 360Chrome seems to be history soon, and tragically, that is a very sad thing. Anyway, I put all my hopes in Mypal 68. Quotation of Feodor2 from the issue #95 at GitHub: Cheers, AstroSkipper

SuperStop SuperStop stops background requests and animations even when the Stop button is disabled. SuperStop is very simple: it adds a Shift+Esc shortcut (configurable) and a toolbar button that stop active WebSocket connections, JS timers, XMLHttpRequests, and any animated images and videos, regardless of the state of the Stop button. This extension I recommend for all users of Mypal 68 whose computer is low on system resources. A click onto the toolbar button, for example, stops immediately the animation of all loaded GIF images without reloading the page, and the CPU load is back to normal subsequently. Absolutely great! Tested version: 0.6 Download link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/superstop/

Your post is off-topic! You have to post with regard to the topic. Please post your problem in my already mentioned thread: https://msfn.org/board/topic/183352-proxhttpsproxy-and-httpsproxy-in-windows-xp-for-future-use/ There, I'll answer your questions associated with ProxHTTPSProxy. And BTW, all my provided files are clean, of course. Anyway, you are a newbie, therefore, you should read the forum rules first: https://msfn.org/board/guidelines/ Regards, AstroSkipper

Hi @visionhelp, with my release ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu 3V1, it is totally easy to use a TLS 1.2 proxy system-widely. I integrated an extra menu item in its systray's PopMenu to activate the most recent version ProxHTTPSProxy REV3e system-widely. Here is the link to my release: And here is my article "ProxHTTPSProxy and HTTPSProxy in Windows XP for future use" about ProxHTTPSProxy containing all information what it is for, and how to install, configure, use, and maintain this proxy which you should read first: If you have further questions associated with ProxHTTPSProxy, after reading my article, you can post it in my mentioned thread. Here, in this thread, I won't reply, its about enabling TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 only. Cheers, AstroSkipper

And additionally, a screenshot of the Cloudflare certificate details: No problems with the certificate. Cheers, AstroSkipper

Mypal 68 shows a green, secure connection to Cloudflare. I opened the certificate details, and all is well. Here are two screenshots: Cheers, AstroSkipper

And a further tool associated with this AVG version is the AVG Clear 18.8.4084.0 to get rid of all installed components if necessary. Download link: https://install.avcdn.net/avg/iavs9x-xp/avgclear.exe Cheers, AstroSkipper

Sorry, but I am busy too. You are not the only one. My second name is astroskipperautravail. But kidding aside, please @genieautravail, do not post in my threads any questions or requests if you don't want to have an answer or a solution! In such a case, you are about to waste my time. And my time is just as valuable as yours. And BTW, my question about politeness was answered by yourself with your bold reply. Thanks for that! Cheers, AstroSkipper

FireShot: Full Web Page Screenshots With FireShot you can capture either whole page or just a selection. Screenshots are quickly captured and can be saved as an image in form of a pdf or an image file. Some features are available in the Pro version only, but generally, it is a free tool. Tested version: 1.10.5.1 Download link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fireshot/

@genieautravail, may I kindly ask if you consider it a form of politeness neither to reply to previously posted answers or solutions nor to react? I could see you visited this forum since your request in this thread, but I can't see a reply or a reaction here. And truth to be told, it's not the first time, unfortunately. Cheers, AstroSkipper

@tpao12 AFAIK, the file winlogon.exe checks the integrity of ediskeer.dll. Using Google search engine, you can read everywhere that nobody has figured out (or published) any methods for patching ediskeer.dll on disk. Any changes in the file ediskeer.dll leads to the unsupported state error message. Generally, I wonder if there is any need of Windows XP Starter Edition in these days. The Starter Edition is just a stripped down version of Windows XP Home Edition which does not have such an integrity check. The user can transform the Starter Edition into a Home Edition by replacing some system files. That's what I know and read on Google results. Or a complete, fresh installation of the Home or Professional Edition. Anyway, that's what I would do if I were you. Cheers, AstroSkipper

Undo Close Tab Allows you to restore the tab you just closed with a single click. Additionally, it can offer a list of recently closed tabs within a convenient context menu. It's a missing button in Mypal 68, and I use it to restore quickly closed tabs. Tested version:7.5.0 Download link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/undoclosetabbutton/
