It may be my place, sure. As per MSFN counting me as a spammer, where did you get that?

There is also the question: possible? I have tried to enroll a number of times for the last 6+ months, but never got the email to activate my account, even using different emails...

For on demand, offline scanning of files, trendmicro works relatively well (although slow as expected in large full of data disks) with the following setup. Note that if you are not finicky about non portable stuff, you probably get the same or similar by using https://www.trendmicro.com/en_il/forHome/products/housecall.html which seems to run in XP and auto-update of patterns and definitions: o sysclean.com - the main executable module, you need to run it in a directory of your choice; while running, copy all the files that sysclean.com unpacks in the folder, including sysclean.exe, into a subflolder, close and delete sysclean.com and move the content of the created subfolder to the root folder . From then on, run the program using sysclean.exe.

MBB is out of the picture now. As per our host here, @AstroSkipper, other similar available products for XP are eScanAV Anti-Virus Toolkit (MWAV) or RogueKiller Anti-Malware Free. Be well!

The range proposed (maybe also the order/sequence of dlls, it doesn't hurt anyway) works well for me. It really makes a difference taming RAM peaks on launching (multiple pages) and together with other tweaks discussed in this (but also in @roytam1's) thread in preventing crashes and keeping browsing much more satisfying than otherwise. In my case, an altogether improvement. Cheers! PS: I run my profiles and swap fromRAM (8gb). Since rebasing I haven't seen an out of virtual memory crash anymore, so far (I've been playing with different ranges for the last month or two in all the browsers I use.

@AstroSkipper, you may want to check this one out: https://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=107594

Very nice discussion. I use basilisk (form most work related and some casual surfing), mypal (for social media) and supermium (for whatever doesn't work in the other two). I have been playing with some of the ranges proposed here and in the supermium thread) and the following combination works well in my setup. As this discussion makes clear, free ranges may vary depending on your setup and the apps you run. Basilisk, I'm testing the range proposed by @AstroSkipper for mypal, 0x6af00000 Mypal, I'm testing the range proposed by @feodor2, 61D90000 Supermium, I'm testing the range proposed by @UCyborg somewhere in the supermium thread, a while ago, 10040000. So far, so good, much better than the addresses chosen by XP SP3 when left alone. Cheers!

Hi there. I retry this thing, and living the base forlder to default (somewhere in %USER% --> say myusers\me\syncthing) works well. Make sure that before running it you modify the following lines in %APPDATA%\Syncthing\config.xml <autoUpgradeIntervalH>0</autoUpgradeIntervalH> <upgradeToPreReleases>false</upgradeToPreReleases> <defaultFolderPath>%USERS@\ME\SyncThing</defaultFolderPath> <---

I can confirm that rebasing xul.dll (I also rebase mozavcodec.dll, libGLESv2.dll and nss3.dll) improves RAM usage by MyPal. I'm trying the address proposed by @AstroSkippernow, but I used it with other addresses with good effects as well. ALSO: running mypal in sandboxie (checl @Multibooter's thread in the general windows XP thread) is effective to prevent crashes when using more than a few tabs. Cheers!

Well, after some digging I found out why these sites were out: for decades, I managed to browse and enter these sites as well firewalling off IGMP and udp (17) to remote (67) and local (68). Not anymore. liberating these connections (I can;t understand why should I, but so it is), I can now reach them again.

I confirm mui cache is touched, sandoxie no matter. To see what else is touched I will later on test with RegistryChangesView and update this post. I tested a few programs, but beyond mui cache, couldn't find anything else. I wonder what causes this (and if there may be other registry items that can be touched). In terms of causes, configuring sandboxie [GlobalSettings] automatically asks you if you want to grant access to stuff like virtuawin, 7zipShellEx, fontchache, LogitechSetPoint and similar processes that may touch on every windows process. Of those, 7zipShellEx and fontchache have direct IPC direct access (if you aid yes to the previous question) and virtuawin, strokeit and others have IPC Windows Access [by the way, I see here a strange [#] itemI can't recognize and will get rid of to see what breaks or doesn.t]. For my use I have set up a mozilla sandbox that, after granting access to apps I do use in normal browsing and profile manipulation works fine (in fact, more stably than out of the sandbox as per my perception), except for the openwith extension when trying to connect to chrome, which I run in a separate sandbox. That is cool to me, but may be an inconvenience to others. I have finally a generic restrictive sandbox to test new versions of already tried software - for trying new stuff I always use a VM. Overall, it is a great addition. It ain't perfect, but surely reduces attack surface. Cheers again.

Hi @Multibooter, thanks for this thread. It's maybe a placebo thing, but I feel mypal68 and serpent52 (both with e10s) run more stably in a sandbox than without it. I still grant them access to my RAM profiles and usual download places, and sandboxie (restrictions-star/run access) allows me to approve specific programs to run (pdf printer, batch files I use to build my profiles, etc) them. With the settings posted by @XP++ AND the reg files suggested in the first post by you and @modnar (including reboot) I can run supermium fine (I agree in that granting IPC access is a big no, but that is the case running said program without a sandbox, anyway). In my case, the reason why the chrome sandbox remains active is because chrome.exe keeps running after closing the browser, and then two core sandboxie items remain active, even after killing chrome.exe (I do it through a batch file). Cheers!

Thanks for the update notice. I just updated from 1.54 to 1.59 and seems to work fine. I notice though that the option to purge filterlists is gone now... Was gone before? I will make time to check later on. Cheers! EDIT: In my customized profile, I had to uninstall 1.54 and then install 1.59, I couldn't update directly. It may be just my profile, though. You may also try enhanced_h264ify.

I don't follow the release notes: whatever it is, the last month or so versions are very stable with unsupported e10 and multiple tabs. Congrats and cheers!

cool. In vanilla (yet nlited) partition, xompie causes no issues to me. In m heaviliy tweaked partition, it ruins text files rendering: the files load, but can't display text. Something with my settings. I guess I will find a cure eventually. In the meanwhile, installed xomplie and uninstalled it, to keep the files ad firewall sttings and wait for a rainy day. Be well.

Hi @blueclouds8666, thank you very much for this. I can confirm that (installing XomPie) the last version of Java, with the modifications you clearly outlined, works in XP. I will try it in apps I use that require java (OpenOffice, Qgis, etc). I don't have XomPie installed in my bare-metal system (afraid of instability) but will try it soon to see what happens. In the meanwhile, I followed your indications to improve the java version (Java 8u251 I use on my bare-metal I would recommend you to modify this thread to introduce all the software and your inputs at neonfloppy, using the original post to do so, and copying the current article into a sub-post. It's not just good for advertising your page, but to more widely distribute your fine job. Cheers and congrats.

https://www.winhelponline.com/xp/defaultbrowser.htm (now in version 1.8 - i had been using 1.4) has always served me well. PS: BTW, since when does the forum require entering the registered email? first time I remember, today.

Cheers! There is this very old app (late 1990s) called ANNOTSX (https://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/ANNOTSX.shtml). It creates a context tab in properties for files and folders. I have used it to remind myself about particular instructions for certain files and folders. I have no clue where it writes those notes to, but I always thought that it could be used to develop a tag system (I've tried many freeware that do something like that, but ended up getting rid of them: too complex, too heavy, too slow, don't really so the job). Basically, I propose you kill your boredom creating an app that can look at ANNOTSX annotations (wherever they are), and allow to search for them across folders/drives. I see w10-11 now have something like what I'm talking about, as per https://www.lifewire.com/tag-files-in-windows-4587240. Would it be possible to use ANNOTSX's to replicate that functionality in XP (and precedents, perhaps, but at least XP up?) Be well.

True that. It may also happen that basilisk (mypal too) runs out of VM, making some extensions crash -the aw snap of chrome, without the notice).

Oh yeah. I will definitely try this, thanks @genieautravail

I will try them, thanks.

I always delete or replace specific items in supernium, preferably using a bat file. Among them, for example, I delete unneeded locale items. One issue with this is the constant change in chrome version (e.g., 124.0.6367.245, as per the last pre-release). My point/question: Is there any way to write a command to delete specific files within the yourpathto\Chrome\124.0.6367.245\... so that it works even if the numbered folder's name changes (from say 124.0.6367.245 to 126.0.6367.245)? Thanks!

I don't mind rar format from sources in the linux-bsd community (including windows ports), though.
