Aegis Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 @GdoggIf you read the entire thread, you would have known that GE is secure enough to go without a firewall, especially since the packet filtering places a heavy burden upon the processor and increases your ping in games.Explorer is a bad choice as a shell, locking up frequently and riddled with bugs and security issues. The infamous Run/RunOnce registry key depends on Explorer. Without it, half of the malware you see today wouldn't run after a restart.And if you want me to get offensive, then maybe I should consider attacking your project .@badsleeperNo need for that. The command prompt contains a "start" command that is equivalent to Run. There is also a little entry in the registry which enables you to alias your commands. For example, say you wanted to run "C:\Program Files\Games\game.exe" and you aliased the command as "game". To run it, just type in "start game" in the command prompt and the game will start. The other advantage to this is that you can also set program priority with the start command. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdogg Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 no firewall, thats taking a large risk.as RPC is a security risk too, maybe you stoped that service too.but you dont need to, I bet you've already stoped it from accessing a network in an form.so whats the memory usage like, in this command prompt style?have you done, a network scanner, thing your, xpge, to check for open ports?

Aegis Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 (edited) Hmm...think I've already given out enough information for today, thanks for the ideas though . Edited January 13, 2006 by Aegis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdogg Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 yah, Im not trying to leech your info btw.since we arn't even after the same goal, I see no harm, in sharing ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegis Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 I'm not sure what your goal is, but my goal is for a perfect gaming machine that may someday serve other purposes . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spazmire11 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 i think the micrownx project has its benifits in that it is a true winxp install, what you need you dont remove in nlite.this could also be allite off the point of the project, to be a very small windows install.i think both of these projects have their benifits, being that microwinx has me building a ton of code for it too now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegis Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 @Spazmire11MWX may be able to take advantage of nLite's database, but I believe that my project will offer even more customizability than nLite. Again, can't stress the point enough, but no one will really understand what I mean by this until the project is released . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dedogs Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 and, your getting defensive too much, command promt is dos, no matter how u look at it.Dude... STFUPlease stop trying to stir the guy up, you are decremental to this project and a hinderance.Yes talk about its features and how things work, but your comments are of personal attack. Well i've said my piece.lets try and get along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdogg Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 (edited) look flaming me isn't going to get you anywhere.and no it wasn't a personal attack, it was being honest.and no im not decrimental to this project, and if you not like it, go somewhere else.honestly, both me and aegis, have talked in each others threads, without problems, with each other yet. but you seem to wanna turn things into flame wars.he even linked to this from my thread, w/o me saying a thing, when he was trying to get microwinX users, with ideas of a 22MB xp.and look, I am a user in this thread, just like everyone else, asking questionsI get told i got lots to learn about windows, when I know for a fact things my own tests have proved.now I get told to stfu, and all this other crud.Just let me ask questions like everyone else does, and I havn't heard Aegis ask me to remove anything i've posted, due, to being decrimental to his project.

3-R4Z0R Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 @Aegis:With the start program it would be an easy one to make a little start-manager to edit all those games some may have. With 5 menu options: add, remove, edit, run and exit. Estimated size: 100kb - 500kb.Maybe even adding a little icon manager in there too which stores the icons for games in an ini file.Use NTLDR from W2k3, it's a bit faster in managing the memory. It would improve a few fps (up to 5fps, not more).@gdogg:MS-DOS = Command.comXPGE = XP w/cmd.exe as shell.GreetZZ 3-R4Z0R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakatomi2010 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 If you're referring to the command prompt in NT based machines, that's not DOS... It's a command line interface, very similar to DOS, but it's an entirely different engine.Where as Windows 9x was based on DOS, in NT based operating systems, it's "DOS" is based on Windows.... There was a kind of reversal of roles.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
