Thanks Mapple

I'd go for Scarywater... it's what I use religiously. Lemme know when they're up.

Sent you a PM Flish, having problems login in.

Flish, I am going to move the files on my host to my other server because the download sucks on that first link I gave you. I'm moving them now and will let you know when it's done.

hi

My host is down for the time being. It's run out of bandwidth for the day. Sorry everyone.

Flish, sent a PM to ajdesign, but have not received a response back. Will let you know when I receive an answer.

@AgEnTsMiTh - Thanks a million! Updating now!

I didn't know where to post this but...

Could they 'add' to the next release an option for systray to use more 256 colours instead of 16? As in from http://www.dr-hoiby.com/TrayIconIn256Color/
After running autopatcher explorer was replaced I assume, and when I run the activex script on that page it says it won't work with my version of explorer.

As far as I know explorer.exe is in no way changed by AutoPatcher. It could be a hotfix, which replaced it. We will look into the 256 colour systray and see if there's anything we can do.

Explorer went from:
243,472 bytes 5.0.3700.6690 to
242,448 bytes 5.0.3900.6824

(From the backup of explorer made before I applied autopatcher and the 256 colour thing)
I had all the updates on windows update (besides the bookshelf one), maybe not the ones from the last 2 weeks, if there were any.

Yeah, Explorer was updated by Microsoft.

i tried to patch the .exe manually, i hope it works...

Let us know, mate!

well... AfroTrance will let us know... or you for that matter mind trying it on a VM?

I don't know about manual patching , but it was the KB324446 hotfix that updated explorer.exe

Good find BlzIL!

This is great! I'm looking forward to using this on a friend's machine (who needs the help badly.

However, I'm still confused on one issue.

What's the difference between the Full, Lite and UltraLite packages? I've tried digging around here for the answer to that question, but no luck. I found a post that had some links to describe the differences between the APXP packages, but they came out to 404's.

In addition to answering me here, could that be put in the FAQs? I'd appreciate it.

Thanksamundo and congrats on finishing AP2000!

If I'm not mistaken, you can find the info at the link below
http://autopatcher.com/info2k.html

Flish, do you know if anyone else has the information for scarywater site?
I have not receive a reponse from ajdesign yet.

Very good work, i wish there was an option to install Internet Explorer 6

There is allready one on the main "AutoPatcher Menu" thing.

...

Sorry didn't see it. Thanks Is it better ot install first Internet Explorer 6 and then the install the updates or the opposite?

first IE6 then the updates... im quite sure AP will not continue unless IE6 is installed

You are quite correct, sir. Wish we could figure out a way to get it installed without having to reboot (and be able to continue with the other patches), but so far, we can't, and honestly, I think we won't ever be able to. Either way, it's easy enough to install it, since I included it.

Every install of IE since its inception requires the reboot. Such a pain in the ass.

Hey Flish, your name is misspelled @ softpedia.com
"Developer homepage: ason Kelley"

Dunno if you can contact them to fix it.

http://www.softpedia.com/public/cat/13/9/13-9-278.shtml

that goes to show you how deeply IE is integrated into the OS...

How can no one spell my name right?? You'd think it's an easy name to spell.

^ and you should consider yourself lucky for that! my name isnt even mentioned!

Well, whenever I submit it to places, I always include ya. Case in point:
