I really like this one. It's called SpaceSniffer. I think that many Windows XP users might have a small hard drive or partition. Overtime you're loosing space and you're wondering what is filling your hard drive. SpaceSniffer scans your hard drive or flash drive and lets you know which folders have most GBs used. You can delete the complete folder from there as well. Homepage: http://www.uderzo.it/main_products/space_sniffer/index.html

Here's another software that works on XP. It's called DupKiller. Let's you scan drives or folders for duplicated files. Homepage: http://dupkiller.com/

The thing is that Renamemaster is easier to use. As you can number files and remove characters by positions etc.

Hello everyone, There is a program that I use quite often and it still works on XP. It's called RenameMaster. Basically it lets you rename all the files in a directory at the same time according to many different parameters you can set. Homepage: http://www.joejoesoft.com/vcms/108/

I have a question about that article. The article states that you can't have an NTFS hard drive that is bigger than 2TB. That if it's bigger than 2TB you have to use GPT. I bought 2 external ones last year and they came in NTFS by default.

I had XP 32 bit before on my PC and it couldn't read gpt partitions. But when I installed XP 64 it reads them fine. I don't know if whatever XP 64 has can be ported back to XP 32.

They're the same people that made windows 10 Ameliorated. I did try AME version and I must say it's really good. It's very fast and stable. There were only 2 problems. You couldn't create a user account during installation you have to use a default account called user that doesn't have administrative privilege to install some software. You have to elevate the privileges by using a bootable PE software to manage the account and fix it. The other thing was that if you use Microsoft Office you can't use anything newer than 2007 because there's no KMS to be able to activate it. Other than that it's really good and I have it installed on a laptop. I trust more these individuals than Microsoft. There's no Defender but you can use any other antivirus you want. You can check the processes that load at start. There's no virus in those Isos.

I tried all the options. Like right click documents and change location and it wouldn't work. The only way for it to work was via registry. Instructions here in case someone is having the same problem. The way it looks in the picture is how it should be. Before it said Onedrive.
-
Yea the thing is that I removed Onedrive. I tried to set the properties of the folder and set the location to default and that writes the default correct location but when I try to apply changes it says it can't .
-
Tried that bus sadly it was already set to save to C:\ I managed to create a shortcut to quick access to correct location. But it would nice if the shortcut in This PC would change as well. I changed the system to log in as a local account but the problem is still there.
-
I don't have the laptop with me now. I will check if that works when I get home. Thanks

Hello everyone, I have a question. I removed onedrive from windows 11 but when I open an explorer window and I click documents it says it can't find the location. It's because Windows 10 and 11 want to force you to save by default to onedrive. So how do I fix that when I click the documents shortcut it points to the correct location like: C:\Users\username\documents.

I see, I didn't know it was stand alone. I've seen before some other products that just depend on the Windows firewall and just offer more easier to find interface for it. So you mention the free and paid versions. You mean it can still be bought ?
-
I'm not a security expert but wasn't XP firewall not very good ? I mean if you use sphinx you can get prompts for applications yes. But is it easily bypassed since it's just using XP firewall ?
-
I have a question. Can we list software that may be discontinued but still work ? I was thinking like for example Outpost Firewall free. I think it's still better than XP's own firewall plus many free antiviruses don't include a firewall anyway.

Do you know if malware hunter works on XP 64 ?
-
I never left XP really. I have XP 64, Win 7 and Linux but my main OS is XP. I never really like going past XP. There are 2 reasons. One is Stability. Second, since Windows Vista, Microsoft f*cked audio. On XP you could have audio acceleration and EAX. Also I have a very good Auzentech card with 4 speakers plugged in. For some reason since Vista and onward the sound is heard on all 4 speakers only when using Windows Media Player. But on everything else, 2 speakers are silent. On XP that doesn't happen sound is heard on all speakers no matter what software is it. Even youtube videos are heard through all 4 speakers.

I'm a real XP user But of the 64bit version. I never tried the POSReady updates since I think they are meant for the 32 bit version.
-
Doesn't many software require at least SP2 to run anyway ?
-
Maybe there's a way to spoof the Windows version so you can also install it. But I have a question. Why not use SP2 ? Back when it was first released I noticed that my computer was faster with SP2 than without it.

I don't know why people get afraid to use antivirus from other countries. After cloud scanning was invented all you do is chose which country you want to give your data to. Do you trust your government ? Antivirus Cloud scanning was resumed by ESET 5 help file I quote: That was back when there were still honest companies that admitted that cloud scanning really doesn't boost your security. It's like the issue with Tiktok. The reason US government fears users leave Facebook and other US based Social media is because they want your data. Please don't give it to China. Give it to us instead. https://www.howtogeek.com/540658/is-your-antivirus-really-spying-on-you/

Wow malware hunter looks almost exactly like 360 total security. I also wanted to say that as Astroskipper have said Avast have issues. Here are 2 problems I have seen with Avast. Back when I was using Avast 5 I noticed that Avast didn't have any cleaning capabilities. I installed it on an infected system. It detected IE as infected. But all it did was delete IE and all associated files. So I had to install IE again. Another thing that I noticed more recently around 2019 was that if you remove Avast it can make other programs stop working. One time I removed Avast and after I did Firefox and Office stopped working for some reason. I wouldn't be surprised since they always recommend Chrome. Many times I found computers with Chrome that got installed by Avast.

I use an older version of DoPDF. Version 7. It's a PDF printer that doesn't need ghostscript or service to use.
