I did it on XP SP3. Well, the problem is that I succeeded with only one folder as of now. Now it has the 98/Me/2000-like Web View instead of Common Tasks, which is replaced.

I did these registry tweaks, suggested here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/819028 and used the IESHWIZ in the folder to customize the folder background. It asked me to run ActiveX content when I entered the folder the next day and the Web View panel showed instead of the Common Tasks one. Since I've never seen screenshots of Web View in Windows XP, I decided to make one and share it with you. ;)

Well, I hate Aero GUI. I'd rather keep my XP as long as possible and then will migrate to Mac.

Anyway, here is the final result I achieved:

And here is the final version of the 'Folder.htt' file if anyone needs it (some lines were removed in order to work in XP):

The OP did not say a word about Vista/7 in his OP until he was provoked. He just shared something that might be useful to XP users and at once the fanboys pounce on hims saying mean things.

@KikiRicky, I saw your post at BetaArchive. It's no use posting anything about XP on Neowin any more. The moderators also seem to have very lenient rules for fanboyism, offtopic remarks and rude replies. BetaArchive is the place where you won't be insulted for topics on older operating systems.

One of the reasons I've mainly migrated to linuxquestions.org and forums.debian.net , too many fanboys that tell you to "Upgrade to 7, then I'll answer your question".

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • AMD 25.6.3 driver brings FSR 4 support for GTA V and Monster Hunter Wilds

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      AMD 25.6.3 driver brings FSR 4 support for GTA V and Monster Hunter Wilds by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe AMD's driver team is busy this June. The company just released its third graphics driver of the month, and this one is focused on expanding support for FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 (FSR 4) upscaling tech. A handful of bug fixes are included in this release, too. AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 25.6.3 optional driver is finally bringing FSR 4 support for Monster Hunter: Wilds, the Capcom-developed action RPG that released earlier this year. The title is well known for its performance issues, so the FSR update should help RX 9000 series owners get more frames without losing too much graphics fidelity. Next, the driver also delivers FSR 4 for Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced. The expanded and enhanced version of the title featuring ray tracing and other features only hit the PC platform a few months ago, and now, latest-generation Radeon graphics users can use the upscaling tech to improve their frame rates. AMD has also fixed an issue with FSR 4 in this release that made the technology not enable properly on a bunch of games. They include DragonKin: The Banished, Blades of Fire, RoadCraft, The Alters, Star Wars Outlaws, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. A Black Myth: WuKong crash on the RX 7650 GRE GPU and a The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered texture corruption issue on the RX 9070 XT have also been resolved in this release. Here are the known issues that AMD is still working on: Stutter may be observed while playing games with some VR headsets at 80Hz or 90Hz refresh rate on some AMD Radeon™ Graphics Products, such as the Radeon™ RX 7000 series. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to change the refresh rate as a temporary workaround. Intermittent system or application crashes may be observed while playing Cyberpunk 2077 on some AMD Radeon™ Graphics Products, such as the Radeon™ RX 7000 series and Radeon™ RX 9000 series. Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing Monster Hunter Wilds with Radeon™ Anti-Lag and Instant Replay enabled. Stutter may be observed while playing Call of Duty: Warzone Season 03 ‘Verdansk’ map on some AMD Graphics Products. Stutter and lower-than-expected performance may be observed while playing 4K resolution YouTube videos in Chrome. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to play videos in full screen as a temporary workaround. The new AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 25.6.3 optional update is now available for download from the AMD Software app as well as AMD's own changelog page for the driver.
    • It's been four years, and I still don't have a strong enough reason to upgrade to Windows 11

      So, basically, Windows 11 is the 'new Windows 7 'cause everyone's ignoring it? Guess my Windows 10 machine and I will just live happily ever after in our secure, familiar bubble... until four months from now. Then we'll figure it out. Probably.

      Are you sure you are not mis-understanding a use case for Windows 11 where it fails? Your experience does not negate another user's dislike of something. I.E. don't be dismissive just because you haven't experienced something they have. That makes you look bad.

      How about linking network storage and or external storage and then Explorer becomes a game of waiting and waiting and waiting. Windows 10 was not nearly this bad at that task.
