This thread is not a sounding board for cry babies, instead of joining MSFN just so you can p*** and moan why don't you take your One post and start your own topic to ventilate..

Don't know if this works on 8.1 but here a blur tweaker by MrGrim.. http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/163794-aero-glass-blur-tweaker/

For those of you that want to keep Big Mucles Aero Glass active when running off battery this will do the trick..DP Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00;Aero with battery[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\DWM]"DisableGlassOnBattery"=dword:00000000

@bigmuscle sent email yesterday, just let me know when you get it done.. Thanks for the help..DP

@bigmuscle, Thanks for the quick response..DP "DosProbie: I will read it and try to reply as soon as possible, probably tomorrow from my office computer when network connection works better than this one."

No Problem bigmuscle, my wife reminds me all the time when I make typos..lol Hey I just sent you a email, I know your a busy guy but when you can let me know what I need to do.. Thanks, DosProbie

@bigmuscle your statement: "If you want to donate just to get rid of popup and watermark then you should not donate at all. Donations are intended for this purpose." Must be a typo should it not read: "If you want to donate just to get rid of popup and watermark then you should not donate at all. Donations are NOT intended for this purpose."

Oh Well then looks like your Sh!# out of luck! ..gotta love 8.1

Sweet!, Thanks Noel and the ad blocker is a nice addition as well..DP

Thanks for the clarification submix8c..DP

@ace2 Thanks for the quick response!

Is the site down? http://glass8. berlios.de/

I am sure this has been gone over before but when upgrading to a new hard drive (On Same System) after the old hard drive died do you need to make another donation?

Does the name change affect your Post count?

Instead of integrating into the image file why don't you just add a post install for the updates at the end of your installation before going to the desktop and also you could add more updates as needed instead of redoing you image file again and again..DP

You did not mention what error message but you could just add a install log with screen output for nero as well..DP @echo offtitle Nero2014_Platinumset App=Nero2014 Platinumset InstallLog=C:\Install.logtitle Nero2014_Platinumecho VCR...start /wait Data\Redist\VCRedistSetup.msi /passive /norestartecho install_flash_player...start /wait install_flash_player_11_active_x_32bit.exe /passive /norestartecho msxml.msi...start /wait msxml.msi /passive /norestartechostart /wait regedit.exe /s nero14.regstart /wait PRQStarter-1.exe /qb!start /wait nero.nero2014esd.msi /qb! /NORESTART RebootYesNo="no" NERO_SCOUT="FALSE" serialnum_userval=0000-0000-0000-0000-0000-0000-0000-0000 AgreeToLicense="Yes" EULA_AGREEMENT=1start /wait msiexec.exe /i "nero.nero2014contentpack.msi" /qbcall :LOGGING:LOGGINGecho %date:~4%-%time:~0,8% Starting installation log...echo %App% was successfully installed >> %InstallLog%goto EOF:EOF

It reboots because of cleaning up the registry and then prints log file when back at desktop..DP

AdwCleaner v3.208 by Xplode Have you or someone you know installed a program only to find out that it came with unwanted toolbars, browser hijacker and crapware? AdwCleaner is a portable freeware app that aggressively targets and removes adware, toolbars, browser hijackers, and other potentially unwanted programs and works with Windows 8 and 8.1. I recently received a customer laptop infected with the V9.com portal virus and spent about 2 hrs manually trying to remove it (even Malwarebytes Pro had no effect) but Adw did it in a matter of seconds! Enjoy!..DP http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/adwcleaner.html

If your also wanting to add USB 3.0 support then don't forget about intergrating them to your boot.wim as well.

Thanks, Noel! I use that one as well, another feature that Windows 8 and 8.1 did away with,..

Have you got a favorite program ( or applications that you have created ) for Windows 8-8.1 that you think is useful and would like to share? Just to kick things off here is Free standalone WiFi manager program that I ran across that works really well and brings back some network management features missing from Windows 8. Feel free to add any appication that you think may help others. Enjoy..DP Wi-Fi Network Manager 1.0.0 - http://main.kerkia.com/Products/WinFi/description.aspx Description: WinFi is your new WiFi network manager for Windows. As Windows 8 removed abilities to manage network profiles and perform various actions such as forgetting networks, changing their priorities, etc., WinFi was built to bring you all you need within one handy, complete, nice-looking utility that will not only save you lots of time but also help you solve connection issues and optimize your WiFi experience. Winfi was built initially because abilities to manage profiles and forget networks were removed from Windows 8.1. Alternatives involve using the netsh command line utility which is cumbersome for most users. Gives full management of user profiles with a easy graphical interface.

Nice Job!, question other that using task manager where is your exit button to close out the screen from desktop?

if you also want the HD Model along with the Serial number this batch script will also do the trick..DP @echo off&setlocal:: Get DRIVEMODELFor /F "Tokens=2 Delims='='" %%A in ('Wmic DiskDrive Get Model /Value') Do (Set "HDModel=%%A") :: Get DRIVESERIALFor /F "Tokens=2 Delims==" %%A in ('Wmic Path Win32_PhysicalMedia Get SerialNumber /value') Do ( for %%B in (%%A) Do (Set "HDSerial=%%B")):: PRINTOUT TO CONSOLE AND DESKTOPecho HD Model: %HDModel% >>%userprofile%\desktop\%username%.txtecho HD Serial: %HDSerial% >>%userprofile%\desktop\%username%.txttype %userprofile%\desktop\%username%.txtpause>Nul

XP won't work with the imageres file for the icon, and since you did not submit your reg file for your context menu the path would either be Program Files (x86) or Program Files, so again just use my example and revise as needed..DP

you could also just use a script file to toggle aero with ac and battery as well..dp
