NT4 is the best Windows OS ever!
Edit - Wait, changed my mind, W2K is the best.

Now you are just being provocative, vista was garbage with state of the art artificial stupidity built in.
And yes, W2K was best ever [once you had turned off all of the fancy graphics stuff].

And the Vista kernel was based on NT5 (XP/Win2k), which was based on NT4 .. its just how the world works, you don't make new kernels, you improve the one you have.

Just a heads up for those concerned,
Cinnamon Mint went to v19.2 a couple of months ago, and ReactOS went to 0.4.12 recently. Gonna try set up ReactOS as Virtualbox guest, see if Avsynth does anything at all.

Cinnamon is just a desktop environment, and it's one of three that Mint can come with. Mint was updated to 19.2; the new version was published in all three DEs simultaneously.

Yip, IIRC,
I tried LMDE version (19.0 or 19.1, maybe), and although the installer ISO saw my Wifi just fine, when actually installed it did not work at all, so I gave up on it.

You have to manually enable the proprietary drivers in the driver center or whatever Mint calls it. A lot of Linux distros are like that. Presumably it's some kind of security measure because Linux devs can't check closed-source drivers for malware.

Seems like maybe the place to ask this question.....
I recently installed 64 bit Win7 on a laptop. I use the free version of xplorer2, which only comes in a 32 bit flavour. As a result, the right click menus added to the registry by most programs don't show up in xplorer2's right click menu (items that are often referred to as shell context menus). After installing 7-zip however, I realised it has an option for adding shortcuts to the context menu for both 64 bit and 32 bit programs, so the 7-zip context menus do show up in xplorer2. My question is, to save me having to hunt through the registry and risk making a mess by guessing, does anyone know if it's possible to manually create 32 bit context menu registry entries for programs that don't do so when you install them, and/or which registry entries I'd need to copy/create in order to do it? Cheers. |

Seems to work, what are you missing ?
Lite (free) 32 bit(only) version download(v4.2.0.1, version about April 2019):- https://www.zabkat.com/x2lite.htm Features Comparison:- https://www.zabkat.com/comparison.htm Setup 7zip(x64, v19.0, 21st Feb 2019) Options [Untick "Cascade Context Menu", puts options directly in context menu rather than contained in 7Zip sub menu] Standard Windows Explorer context Menu xPlorer Lite(x86) context Menu EDIT: The missng context menu shortcuts in xPlorer lite, are from Comodo Anti-virus and "Create Checksum file" maybe from Nirsoft "HashMyFiles". All 7zip shortcuts are present.

For those of you on Win7 that are a bit frustrated with Windows Explorer thing switching views all of the time,
eg you want it always on General Items/Details Vew, but the damn thing keeps switching to icons (or some other view) when an image or video clip or audio file is in a directory, then here is a fix for you. I usually end up having to go to Folder Properties for each drive and select Customise/General Items, but have to repeat at each boot, unfortunately does not work as easily on C drive where individual folders have to be configged, and back to square one again on next reboot. FIX: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...2-ac4a4b8bea06 final post by ViaMala Fix scatty Win Explorer view behaviour to FileType Unspecified LockFiletypesUnSpecified.reg Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\AllFolders\Shell] "FolderType"="NotSpecified" LockFiletypesUnSpecified_REMOVE.reg Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\AllFolders\Shell] "FolderType"=- I've rebooted and still set at unspecified filetypes EDIT: If you manually set folder to a different view, it will survive a reboot for that folder [I would maybe like all reset to details on reboot, but I can live with that]. EDIT: Above all "Filetypes" should probably read "FolderTypes".

Yep, shame that both my Android and Windows phones refuse to comply (both insist on icons on each folder until change to details),
I really dont understand how/why people put up with the icons things, not like you dont have to read the text/name anyways, go figure. (I can partly understand children that have not yet mastered reading english, or even non tech savvy peeps using icons, but what the hell use are they after those issues are no longer a problem ???) EDIT: Only place that I'm aware where icons are maybe of use is in the likes of Control Panel, where ALL icons are different, a folder of 200 Word docs, icons play no part at all in being user friendly. [EDIT: I always switch to icons in control panel, go figure ?] EDIT: "Android and Windows phones", when attached via USB to Win7.
