Y A Y B E T A T E S T I N G StartIsBack 2.0 beta 0 Ladies and gentleman, please welcome StartIsBack 2.0 beta 0. Please keep in mind this is early beta. This version is not indended for everyday use and represents early 2.0 stage. What's new: More in the release notes. http://startisback.com/StartIsBack_20beta0.zip Don't flame the discussion too hard.

Then it should work for non-transparent taskbar too.

That's right, if blur is done correctly it will be applied to the start menu if additional translucency is disabled. Taskbar may need a bit of additional processing which i should offer in future version.

You may try as well injecting into winlogon and catching dwm.exe starting, injecting your DLL by the way. Or hijack some system CLSIDs which dwm uses, but that won't be much better than system file patching. Also, when writing AppInit_DLL, make sure it does not link directly to user32.dll or libraries using it, otherwise it may fail to initialize (that was true in 2000 times).

Totally awesome. I will help you with this if i can

This is a bug in PaintShop Pro shell extension which manifests on Windows 7 as well. To fix this, delete [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Corel PaintShop Pro X5]

That's obviously a touchpad driver issue which pushes start menu window on top. Perhaps i can work this around. That's the style for default search control. Something slows disk i/o down. Windows Defender is known to cause big slowdowns.

I hope you guys are not tired of dotdot releases. 1.3.3 is up with DEP fix, which was critical. Although nobody cared for 3 months

SIB legit versions were downloaded about 100,000 times. That includes updates and of course only some fraction of users buys it.

DEP issue is sure shameful, expect a fix soon.

I've adressed this in a email. Now for Autoruns, it's not possible for it to detect every change in a COM registration registry database. COM database is a dark place where you can change one obscure entry and make your library load instead of another one in almost every process, since it's widely used inside all programs.

StartIsBack replaces two system shell classes in SOFTWARE\CLASSES branch.

I would be interested to make this version, but for now thethered jailbreak nature and lack of option to run Windows RT in virtual machine limits my options. Let's move discussion to the PM.

Installer runs with normal privileges. When you install for all users, it starts itself elevated. After elevated copy is finished installing, original unelevated process restarts explorer. So you can't get explorer elevated unless you run installer elevated at the first place.

Well, you're the only one having this issue, no? Because it can start explorer elevated only if you run StartIsBack_setup.exe elevated.

^^ and that's finally fixed VERSION 1.3.2 http://www.startisback.com/StartIsBack_setup.exe Next version is under heavy development.

Version 1.3 Release http://www.startisback.com/#download-tab Changes over RC: Business license keys are now available: http://www.startisback.com/#business-tab Those who donated $10 or more during development have Business license. Congratulations! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Stay tuned for 2013. Version 1.4 will bring some Modern UI integration. Improvements for enterprise and individual users are also planned.

Yes. Unfortunately it's a bug in Windows 8' Defender.

This will be fixed in the next version. This is a problem with Windows Defender, unfortunately. When start menu is querying link files to get icon, defender re-scans the target of the shortcut which slows system down. It slows down whole i/o sybsystem to the crawl when a lot of shortcuts are displayed (and search displays lot of them). Icon extraction hits timeout that's why icons could be not displayed. I'll try to increase timeout or create a more viable workaround but to get rid of this behavior you should use some other AV.

File is definitely fixed on server, try downloading with another browser.

If you add 1x3 empty png without 'resize to fit the taskbar' option checked, you will get no space for orb. I'll look into adding this option in future versions.

Re-download 1.3RC1, this was fixed with RTL menus 6 hours ago: http://www.startisback.com/StartIsBack_setupRC.exe Sorry for the trouble.

Yeah, that's a bug Fixed, re-download RC via same link.
