I have to say, after using StartAllBack for over a month, I am so impressed with your software, this was a great purchase. I bought it for one feature only - the ability to move the task bar in Windows 11 to the side, as your app is the only one that achieve this. (Given Microsoft's people claimed they will not implement it because 'it is too hard', your app mocks their pompous approach, and does it in style). Anyway, I wanted to report of an issue you may or may not be aware of, and ask for a way (that makes sense to me) to fix it, but I'm unsure if it is realistic: This situation needs a very specific set of circumstances to happen: StartAllBack (Version 3.6.3, just checked updates) >> Taskbar Use enhanced classic taskbar - ON Taskbar location on screen - Right/Left Centered task icons - ON + Separately from start button Segments - ON + Up to three segments. On my 4K Display in 125% zoom:Tray Icon: I've set the tray icon area to 3 icons wide Disabled 'hiding' - so they are displayed all the time. I usually have between 8x3 - 9x3 icons. The Issue: When I exceed 23+ active applications icons on the taskbar, the systray icons area disappears. The language bar, clock and notification icon remain, but the entire systray vanishes. Possible workaround for me that I've considered: Disabling Segments - it works, but it's not as nice Increasing the width of the task bar causes the tray area to expand to 4 icons in a row, reducing the height - this reduces the height of the systrey by a bit, but only a bit. Why I think this is a bug: With Segments disabled, although taskbar is set as centered, the icons are pushed up as new icons show up. I noticed this is also true when Segments are enabled, only it causes the systray to disappear. (it's rather visible in the screenshots I took when you look at them side-by-side). This might be of no interest to you to try and address, that's completely fine. In the case you will attempt fixing this, below is information about my Windows install and screenshots that I thought might help explain the issue. Whether you fix this or not, your application is awesome, and I can't recommend it enough. Windows spec (copied from System > About): Edition Windows 11 Pro Version 22H2 Installed on ‎2/‎1/‎2023 OS build 22621.1265 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22638.1000.0

Just wanted to report the same.

Fantastic tool, I've been using several incarnations of this tool for quite some time, and I love every improvement that goes into this mastermind clockwork. I've actually registered to MSFN to leave this post, in hopes that it will strike a cord with the folks here, and the developer in particular. When using a "dirty" disk, especially very large disks there is the risk that the boot files will not reside at the beginning of the disk. Up till recently my solution would be to backup everything, format the disk, and then copy the files in order back to the disk. But with a 500GB HD, which is 40% full, it's a real pain in the $%^*^&&$, so I looked for another solution - defrag tools. MyDefrag is the only tool that is both free and could accomodate my needs: free up space at the beginning of the disk, move specific files/dirs to the beginning of the disk - do it fast. I suggest you take a look at MyDefrag: http://www.mydefrag.com/ And here is the MyDefrag script I used to fix my grub bootloader + Win 7 setup from USB HDD: # A Lockszmith MyDefrag script: Fix Grub Position # # This script was written by Lockszmith (CC-AT) Title('Fix Grub Position') Description("Fix Grub Position") // See the "Settings.MyD" file. /* Write the header to the logfile. See the "Settings.MyD" file for the definition of the "LogHeader" string. */ WriteLogfile("MyDefrag.log","LogHeader") /* Select and process the volumes one by one. */ VolumeSelect CommandlineVolumes() VolumeActions /* Write the "before" statistics to the logfile. See the "Settings.MyD" file for the definition of the "LogBefore" string. */ AppendLogfile("MyDefrag.log","LogBefore") /* Place files at 30% into the data on the disk. */ # MakeGap(RoundUp(VolumeUsed * 0.3,VolumeSize * 0.01), DoNotVacate) /* Zone 1: Place the MFT and some other special NTFS files. */ FileSelect SelectNtfsSystemFiles(yes) FileActions PlaceNtfsSystemFiles(Ascending,MftSize * 0.1) FileEnd /* Zone 2: Directories. */ FileSelect Directory(yes) FileActions SortByName(Ascending) FileEnd /* Place files at the beginning of the disk. */ MakeGap(0) /* Zone 3: files used when booting, and a gap. */ FileSelect FileName("GRLDR") or FileName("menu.lst") or DirectoryName("BOOT") or DirectoryName("BOOTWS") or DirectoryName("EFI") or FileName("BOOTMGR") or FileName("MEMTEST") FileActions Defragment(Fast) FastFill() # AddGap(RoundUp(ZoneEnd,VolumeFree * 0.01)) FileEnd /* Write the "after" statistics to the logfile. See the "Settings.MyD" file for the definition of the "LogAfter" string. */ AppendLogfile("MyDefrag.log","LogAfter") VolumeEnd /* Write the footer to the logfile. See the "Settings.MyD" file for the definition of the "LogFooter" string. */ AppendLogfile("MyDefrag.log","LogFooter") Hope someone finds this useful, also hope to see MyDefrag with a similar script be integrated to a next release of WinSetupFromUSB. Thanks for reading.
