Surely the source code would define whether or not there was anything different or better with this particular implementation. The only tool I've ever used for this task was a VBScript and I've not tested in on any OS other than XP (x86). This used Vb.NET, which so far the ones you've linked didn't and also as far as I'm aware Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder isn'y advertised as working in Windows 7. the source is not necessary because it can be found all over the internet: Here in Delphi: http://www.swissdelphicenter.ch/en/showcode.php?id=2252 And you can use .NET Reflector to open his application and see the code The source really is necessary, this is a Programming Forum, not a tool repository, therefore in this location the tool serves no real benefit to the Members. The topic shouldn't require interested Members to download and use a 3rd party tool in order to access the code within.

I agree, it could be a very useful tool GSM. If you can post the source code then it would certainly helpful for the tools current location in 'programming'. I'll even go as far as to say that there may even be a more prominent location, (or at least a way for MSFN to better show it off), too! Note - To the less knowledgeable among us, due to the fact that the tool was written in Vb.NET, it will require that the host PC has at least .NET Framework v2.0.50727 in order for it to run.

It's not my place to make supposition on how you may have come by the problems or on which software you install, however I'd start by suggesting that the folllowing entries are dealt with appropriately: R3 - URLSearchHook: Yahoo!

First things first, you're copying a single file with no parameters therefore xcopy is not necessary, a simple copy will do you. Try something like this! @Echo off&Setlocal enableextensions&Pushd %UserProfile%\.. Set "£=L:\pil97.doc"&Set "_=Application Data\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP" For /f "delims=" %%# In ('Dir/b/ad-h') Do If Exist "%%#\%_%" ( If Not Exist "%%#\%_%\%£:*\=%" Copy %£% "%%#\%_%")Due to your paths it is assumed that you're using XP, this will not work in Vista or Newer.

The 'feature' I liked best at first glance was the built-in Bluetooth option. I just plugged in a Bluetooth dongle and could use it OOB without installing software which creates unwanted directories etc.

I'm not sure that mine technically falls into any category, it's a LG Viewty (KU990). It has an LG Proprietary OS with Adobe Flash UI and although I feel that it is marketed more for its camera, it has a lot more than that!

You don't use del to remove a directory, you use RD or RMDIR The command you therefore need is: @Echo off&Setlocal enableextensions Title Link Customizer If Not Exist %UserProfile%\Desktop\CleanUp^ Md %UserProfile%\Desktop\CleanUp 2>Nul Pushd %UserProfile%\Desktop\CleanUp||Goto SMP If Exist "%AllUsersProfile%\Desktop\Office Slipstreamer.lnk"^ Move "%AllUsersProfile%\Desktop\Office Slipstreamer.lnk">Nul If Exist "%AllUsersProfile%\Desktop\Quick Mail.lnk"^ Move "%AllUsersProfile%\Desktop\Quick Mail.lnk">Nul If Exist "%AllUsersProfile%\Desktop\Vista Rainbar.lnk"^ Move "%AllUsersProfile%\Desktop\Vista Rainbar.lnk">Nul If Exist "%AllUsersProfile%\Desktop\PC Security.lnk"^ Move "%AllUsersProfile%\Desktop\PC Security.lnk">Nul If Exist ..\Opera.lnk Move ..\Opera.lnk>Nul If Exist ..\MagicDisc.ln Move ..\MagicDisc.lnk>Nul If Exist "..\Shock Aero 3D.lnk" Move "..\Shock Aero 3D.lnk">Nul If Exist ..\nLite.lnk Move ..\nLite.lnk>Nul :SMP Set "SMP=Start Menu Programs" Set "KAV=Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0" If Not Exist "%UserProfile%\%SMP%\Securities" ( Md "%UserProfile%\%SMP%\Securities" 2>Nul||Goto :Eof) If Exist "%UserProfile%\%SMP%\Securities" ( If Exist "%AllUsersProfile%\%SMP%\%KAV%\%KAV%.lnk" ( Move "%AllUsersProfile%\%SMP%\%KAV%\%KAV%.lnk"^ "%UserProfile%\%SMP%\Securities">Nul&&( RD/s/q "%AllUsersProfile%\%SMP%\%KAV%")))

I'd just like to add that only you know the exact names and locations of your shortcuts and which you need to move or delete; so unless we have an identical setup or access to your shortcut listing and full instructions we cannot help you much more than Idontwantspam's response above.

You have copied and pasted the question from two different locations on another Forum. I don't use those Forums and I'm not here to specifically provide solutions for them. You'd be better advised to post your related question in those topics on that public board. Topic Closed

Is there a particular reason why this and this look vaguely familiar?

Quick warning to all: Please stop the incessant arguing, there has already been one thread closed and this is close to receiving similar action. I'm all for constructive discussion, but that can be achieved without the name calling etc. Official warnings will be issued if the current trend continues

I must ask you to keep on topic, we don't need a business lesson and certainly don't need to have `how much more you think you know than us` forced onto us. This topic only requires these points specifically answering. What are the specific reasons why since the release of Windows XP you have been unable to move away from the Classic Start Menu, and what is now preventing you from finding an alternative prior to your next major upgrade.

Sorry but you're making a mountain out of a mole hill, the NT OS Start Menu you're shouting about has really been in use since NT3.5 and is due an overhaul. If number of clicks is your problem you should think about creating a set of macros, utilising some scripts etc. There are many third party Menus, Launchers, File Managers and Shells to choose from if you really cannot handle a possible extra click or two. It's not as if you haven't had time to start adapting; XP gave you a New Start Menu, and left the old one there as an option in order to help you slowly ease the transition. Vista further afforded you extra time to change by keeping the legacy option as a fall-back for those who were very slow at adapting. You still chose to ignore it and remained steadfast with the old system; how long should Microsoft keep making allowances for those who don't wish to make changes?

The world is changing, people in every job are required to constantly adapt regardlesss of whether that change is in their opinion unnecessary or wrong.In this case you aren't being asked to change overnight, you've got a golden opportunity to begin to adapt now through beta, then release and a considerable length of time on top of that as required before upgading all of your systems to the new OS. You don't have to adapt, but you can bet your bottom dollar that the 'kids with small experience in windows administration' will and take your job as a result.

Not really, my only problem with your 'dream' is that I've no understanding whatsoever why you feel the need to specify the character used to fill a dummy file in order to pad out your file collection.

This will create a 1 GB file, full of spaces, called mydummy in the same location as the script, it uses your favoured language but isn't particularly quick. Set DummyFile = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").CreateTextFile("MyDummy", True) For i=1 to 1024 DummyFile.Write Space(1024*1024) Next DummyFile.Close You will obviously need to make sure that there's sufficient space in order to create the file. Another option, would also be to use the Windows Resource Kit tool, CreateFil.exe which also fills the file with spaces.

Looking around the net it appears that you're not the only one having this problem, many customers appear to not have the menu options as you describe. Have you even got a Windows Vista/Recovery DVD? You will need to contact Zoostorm, but your first port of call should be Great Universal, who will very likely provide you with a direct Zoostorm contact number etc.

Not that it makes any difference, but I think it must be one of the three here.

Not only has Ryan, a one time member and contributor here, got his own very well advertised site. His own and his members projects have a perfectly good platform where they are. What you need to understand is that we don't all want someone elses idea of what to include, which tweaks are right or to take the lazy option letting someone effectively do it all for us. The joy of this stuff for me is the finding out, learning, experimenting and honing of ideas in order to achieve exactly what I want, not take what someone else has decided upon and try tyhe best I can to to alter that to suit! Different approaches for different people.

No!

Unless there's more than one installer type, (mine is simply bdav.msi), I'm afraid to report that BitDefender Antivirus 2009 would not install directly on the 64-bit version. I didn't try it in Compatability Mode since the product was supposedly Vista SP1 compatible and for both x86 and x64. However Avira AntiVir Personal installed like a dream, which I'm sure will be good news for all the Freeware Monkeys!

The watermark wouldn't happen to be due to the fact you are installing either a beta or unactivated trial version of Windows. I'd suggest if that's the case that you either use a full product or activate as required in order to prevent this occurrence!

Had you done so it would have been moved here anyhow. Perhaps you'd have found it more suitable to have just made clear that you were basing your information upon your experience with an outdated Operating System and let our Membership make their own opinion based upon that!
