Things missing

a. Hacked files
Since I had to work on this release by myself, I decided not to include any hacked files. This means you will not find any uxtheme or tcpip fix. Of course, modules can be done for those later.

b. Messenger Plus!
After numerous posts regarding Microsoft's Anti-Spam finding spyware in the Messenger Plus! setup file, I decided it would be better to remove Messenger Plus! from AutoPatcher. Sorry.

Torrents

BitTorrent is a P2P system that makes transfering large files (or groups of files) amongst a large group of people easy, fast and efficient. The BitTorrent network is impressive mostly for the speed and reliability with which you get files that have been recently released. As long as a .torrent file has enough people sharing then you can be assured that it will start quickly and maintain a good download speed.

Always remember to leave your BitTorrent client open to help distribute the files!

To connect to an FTP server actively with FileZilla, here are some tips.

Check out the options under Firewall Settings. Make sure "Passive Mode" is not checked.

Make sure your firewall allows FileZilla to "act as a server".

If you are behind a router, make sure you have a/some port(s) forwarded to your computer, and configured in "Limit local ports used by FileZilla". Also make sure to set "Use the following IP Address for non-passive transfers" to your internet IP address.

Is this the next release after August 04?

Has support for SP1 been stopped or will this also update me?

585661086[/snapback]

No, there were Jan and Feb releases, but you only need this one, AFAIK.

Dont mean to sound stupid but what is Different in this version from the last one?  I JUST Did a Full re-install about 2-3 weeks ago with the other version...

585661273[/snapback]

the newest updates from MS :yes:

585661086[/snapback]

after Aug04, you have jan05, then feb05, then mar05.

but you only need mar05 because it contains everything in jan05 and feb05, plus more and updated versions.

this release will work on sp0 or sp1, however it doesnt contain pre sp2 updates and so there wont be many available for you to install.

You really should have sp2 by now, but i wont start explaining why here.

you can pm me or read/ask elsewhere in the forum if you want to know

this release contains everything that was in jan05 and feb05, and more, updated stuff.

The answer to whether you can skip this is no! theres stuff in here that wasnt in the previous releases or in extras for them.

No, there were Jan and Feb releases, but you only need this one, AFAIK.

the newest updates from MS?:yes:s:

585661493[/snapback]

although im not certain raptor hasnt found more updates to include, m$ announced there wouldnt be any updates this month.

but it is still necessary to get this version because it has lots of updated stuff thats not available anywhere else.

Thanks for the usual good work. To clarify this is a new release for but not only SP2 users right?

And those anyone have ed2k links for this release?

585662184[/snapback]

This release is aimed at sp2 users, there are no pre sp2 updates included.

there may be a few updates that you can install but most of them wont be available on a none sp2 system.

but again, i wont start explaining why theres no reason not to have sp2 here.

you can pm me or read/ask elsewhere in the forum if you want to know

I didn't seem to have any problems updating my 2 SP1 machines...

585662376[/snapback]

no problem, but your missing out on all the updaates released after sp1, before sp2.

and not all of the updates in AP will show themselves in a none sp2 machine.

    • How to set custom folder icons in Windows 11 File Explorer by Usama Jawad Although there are many third-party tools like Windhawk, FlyOOBE, DeskScapes 2026, and more that can be used to customize and tweak Windows 11 according to your preferences, many people often forget that the operating system natively offers a lot of configurability too. One such handy option is available inside File Explorer, where you can set custom folder icons to personalize your experience very quickly. File Explorer is an interface that Windows 11 users leverage rather heavily, so it can get quite boring looking at default icons. It can also be a bit tedious reading the text of each item to navigate to the folder you need. In cases like these, custom folder icons can come in quite handy as they allow you to not only personalize File Explorer, but also offer meaningful aesthetics that can make navigation quicker. Here is how to configure custom folder icons in Windows 11: Download icon files (.ico) from a third-party website of your choice. There are lots of free options online, like Icon Archive. You'll also be able to download them directly from Google Images Open File Explorer Navigate to the folder you want to customize Right-click the folder Select Properties Go to the Customize tab Select Change Icon If you want, you can select a native icon from the Windows directory, but for the purpose of this guide, we'll select the third-party .ico file that we downloaded. As such, select Browse Navigate to the .ico file and double-click it Click Apply, followed by OK That's all there is to it! It shouldn't take more than a minute after downloading the .ico file of your choice. The good news is also that you are not married to the icon you set; you can restore it to the default icon by simply selecting Restore Defaults in the interface mentioned in step 8. It's a very easy way to customize File Explorer, with any changes in this regard being quickly reversible. I would also recommend using View > Extra large icons in File Explorer so that you can properly enjoy the aesthetics. You can also download the entire Object Desktop package. Object Desktop includes programs such as Fences, Start11, Groupy, SoundPackager, DeskScapes and Multiplicity. Disclaimer: Neowin's relationship to Stardock
    • Teams on macOS has a major bug for some users, and Microsoft is rolling out guidance by Usama Jawad Teams is one of the most used online communication and collaboration tools especially in enterprise and school environments. It is available on a variety of platforms including Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and the web. As such, it is a major problem when users on any of the aforementioned platforms get affected. In its Message Center advisory MC1392559, Microsoft acknowledged a bug impacting Teams customers on certain versions of macOS a few weeks ago. Basically, if affected users start sharing their screen, they'll see a black or blank screen, experience interruptions while sharing, and even face complete failure in screen sharing functionality. This is impacting customers using macOS versions older than Tahoe 26.4, and PCs which are resource-constrained on disk and memory. Interestingly, the scope of this issue appears to be limited as Microsoft has only listed Government Community Cloud (GCC), GCC High, and Department of Defense (DoD) as the affected platforms. Since it can be confusing to customers when the bug appears randomly and troubleshooting methods aren't always obvious, Microsoft is working on introducing some in-product guidance that automatically gets shown to users when a screen sharing failure is detected. They'll be asked to retry sharing their screen and will also be requested to update their macOS version, when applicable. If that is not possible, the Redmond tech giant has urged users to apply a mitigation that involves navigating to Teams Settings > General > Screen sharing > Use Mac OS native sharing. A restart isn't required. Regardless, Microsoft has recommended IT admins to inform their helpdesks about this issue, update their internal documentation, communicate the problem across the organization, and update macOS Tahoe 26.4 devices, where possible. The in-product guidance will begin rolling out later this month and should hopefully be available to all by mid-August.
