Hello memodude, I understand completely - but to me and people like Tai (and I'm sure, alot of others), we aren't sure what we are doing and we don't want to break our computer. Not all of us are that familiar nor are we that willing to risk breaking our computer when it could be as simple as just clicking a normal file that could be downloaded from themexp.org or something (but of course, you know that already - and I'm just stating it again, for the benefit of everyone else).

Thanks for your effort in typing out the DOS commands again, though! I just don't want to risk Windows dying with quite a few of my settings and my backup documents already in place (it's just too troublesome, and it's Uni exam period down in Sydney, so if I lose my Windows now - I may risk not being able to get to all my documents, or files may get corrupted or something... the Transformation Pack is too risky at this stage, for the novice user who just wants to click a theme, and change it).

Again, thanks for explaining, and I know, Windows X is under no compulsion/obligation to have to do anything for us. It's good to see he's moving on to more advanced stuff, although it does leave a few novice users behind. Sawadee Krap, Windows X!

You don't have to do any of that though; x said that if you check "don't change it" to everything it makes no changes except the theme.

Once that SideBar done, I would regardly ask you to add it in LH Pack too like you said before :)

Thanks. :D It'll be a while before I finish it, I want to make a big selection of modules, as well as put in module scrolling, a module gallery and web service, make the clock and weather work, add Longhorn-looking controls that appear when you mouse over the WMP, make it possible to load a file in WMP, etc. :p

I have something to ask you guys about my theme. Should I turn my shellstyle in PDC to XP ones for solving thumbnails problem?

If you do, please keep for download a/the fixed size horizontal shellstyle. :) You mean filmstrip view, right?

I know that the Start button is what most people dislike most about this theme...I saw the LH64 screenshots...well, see for yourself, they have a different start button:

that's the startbutton you'll get when the SideBar is disabled, the 32-bit version of LH 4051 has it too...

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By Max Norris · Posted

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
