    To notice the bug some conditions have to be fulfilled: You must have spaces in your program's path. No autostart entries referring to the program PopMenu must exist in your registry in the key Run! Or anywhere else! Now, execute the old version of my configuration utility "Configure PopMenu"! All should be fine except the autostart of the program PopMenu. No entry should have been added to the key Run, and therefore, Popmenu won't start at next boot, most probably. I didn't test it, I looked only at the code of my configuration utility. Anyway, the new version should work properly. BTW, if you all had folliwed precisely my instructions, the bug would have been noticed presumably. Of course, only if spaces were in your program's path! Greetings, AstroSkipper

    Have you already tested the proxy in Windows 2000? It doesn't work, probably due to problems with signing certificates, isn't it?

    And to reorder your systray icons? I know you already use a tool from a MSFN user, though.

    @Dave-H! Are you interested in an alternative way to hide the Min2Tray systray icon?

    In German editions of Windows XP, the program folder is named "Programme", and my self-created folder for portable programs only, "Portable". Therefore, no spaces here! And I try to avoid them!

    Hello again, my dear beta testers, @Dave-H, @mina7601, @NotHereToPlayGames! If you wonder why @George King still hasn't reported any results of his testing, he can't participate on this beta test any longer due to private reasons. Greetings at this point! Furthermore, I've checked the code of all my programs and found a further bug. And what do you think it could be? Yep, another bug in regards to spaces in the install path of ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu! No one of you reported it! But, frankly, it's a bug you only observe if you have spaces in your path and check deeply what my configuration utility "Configure PopMenu" is doing. If you wonder why I didn't find this bug earlier, it's very simple. I don't have any spaces in the install path of ProxHTTPSProxy. The next time I'll test everything with spaces in programs' pathes, too. Anyway, from now on I will call this issue "space bug". And I really hate it! As usual, you'll get the link of the fixed version via PM, as soon as possible. Fortunately, I found only one further space bug, though. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    Actually, my post about Process Hacker is a bit OT. But I couldn't resist. The topic here is about Anti-Virus and presumably, security solutions. I use Avast Premier with a disabled firewall feature in combination with Windows 10 Firewall Control XP. I am on Windows XP Professional 32 Bit. This combination works great, and was installed for ages.

    Process Hacker has been running in my system in the background for ages. All my investigations of processes and process trees I perform with this task manager. For me, simply the best! And with its help I found out a lot of problems or misbehaviour of programs and services in my system. I love it!

    Anyway, the main feature of the new releases is to have from now on a system-wide support of all TLS protocols, and here one must especially mention, TLS 1.3 , which we would probably never have had if it hadn't been for @cmalex. And for that I will always be grateful to him! I would be especially happy if he also received more recognition for his great programming work than he has so far, in the form of posts, liking and up-voting. @cmalex is the mystery man in the background! And, don't be annoyed why he doesn't respond! It doesn't matter, and it's none of our business! Just to appreciate and honour his work, without any reservations, that's what I mean. And, from now on TLS 1.3 support in the old, abandoned Internet Explorer 8! Unbelievable! Cheers, AstroSkipper

    Hello @mina7601! Thank you for the request! Of course, I don't want you to wait very long. To be honest, I haven't thought about the time frame yet. When the beta test is over, the final version of ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu TLS 1.3 3V3 will come first. And then I will find out how much interest there really is in my program package. Frankly, it was a lot of time I spent to do all that, and I hope the users will like it. There still exists a problem with the feedback, unfortunately. Looking back to my last release there was nearly none. I don't really know how the members and users here act or think. Sometimes, very strange! But I'll keep you informed, of course! And I will offer another, different release of @cmalex's ProxyMII when ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu TLS 1.3 3V3 is out. And currently, I am working on a future release of ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu whenever I have a bit of time. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    Hi @ADMM! Download all portable versions and check the compatibility by decreasing version number! Unfortunately, Rizonesoft doesn't provide a changelog and a download archive. Therefore, trial and error is the game. But it is an easy game because there are portables, too. Nothing to install. It works or not! Just that simple! I'll have a look in my system and report which version exactly is installed. Anyway, it is great to reduce RAM consumption of browsers like 360Chrome or Mypal. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    And the last word about starting the proxy. The best way to start it is to execute StartProxy.exe. This programm is what ProxHTTPSProxy_PSwitch.exe was in @heinoganda's release. And he did it in a complete different way, much more complicated, though. A combination of batch programming and Python.

    And in the next version, more control will be added. With submenus in the popmenu. Just to get order and clean up the main menu!
  14. AstroSkipper
    No problem! I try my very best to explain such things. The idea of my package was to control the proxy, don't forget it!
  15. AstroSkipper
    Maybe, but it doesn't matter! Without automatic activation and deactivation of IE LAN Settings, it's no solution at all. That's the problem.
  16. AstroSkipper
    You didn't say ProxHTTPSProxy.bat but ProxHTTPSProxy.exe. And both programs start the proxy but without automatic activation and deactivation of its setting. That's not the way. No solution! And my original starter program does not work on boot without a delay. But now, the version 3.2.0.0 of StartProxy.exe does its job properly.
  17. AstroSkipper
    I prefer to call up executables rather than batches.
  18. AstroSkipper
    What my starter program StartProxy.exe does has a direct impact on ProxHTTPSProxy.exe. Complicated? And ProxHTTPSProxy.exe can't be modified in regards to its code. It is a compiled executable. And ProxHTTPSProxy.bat has the same problem as ProxHTTPSProxy.exe.
  19. AstroSkipper
    Don't be puzzled! My starter program calls up ProxHTTPSProxy.exe and this file has a problem, too. My program had to be modified to get ProxHTTPSProxy.exe working. Can you follow?
  20. AstroSkipper
    I will have a look in my other new files if there is code which doesn't work with paths containing spaces.
  21. AstroSkipper
    Very good! Thanks a lot @mina7601! That's what I meant.
  22. AstroSkipper
    Did you try the first fixed version of 3.1.0.0 automatically at Windows startup without any delay? Then, you'd have observed the problem, only if your install path contains spaces, of course.
  23. AstroSkipper
    No, my original version of ProxyStart.exe was starting on boot correctly only with a delay of 10 seconds, with less or no delay it didn't work, either.
  24. AstroSkipper
    Did you get it? And please, do not delete the message thread until the beta test is over! Thanks!
  25. AstroSkipper
    No problem! I'll send you the fix a second time. But a bit strange, I could see all links in our private zone.
