@crusher: AutoPatcher has no real uninstallation but this is how it will work from December update and later:

Every MS Hotfix/Patch, Program or Tool with make a unique uninstall entry in the add/remove programs just like it would if it ran normally... Thats where you can uninstall those...

Now, for the regtweaks, we will include a revert folder, which will contain the 'opposite' of each regtweak... so if you want to 'uninstall' a regtweak, you can 'install' the opposite of it :D

/Raptor

Still we can individually un-install the updates but not the registry tweaks, how about you having some kind of a total clean un-installer which literally removes every single tweak or application it installed in the first place.

Hmmm... I guess the question would have to be... why would you want to uninstall everything??

How about another useful addition?

In the early microsoft powertoys there was a Target Context Menu, where you can right click a shortcut, and have access the properties of the shortcut's target via an additional menu (see attached screenshot)

Although they were for the early windows 95, they work fine on XP (I use this one on my install now - very useful)

If you can't find the files, I've attached them to this post, the installation is in the form of an '.inf' file (right-click->Install)

Attached: target.zip = 2 files: TARGET.inf, TARGET.DLL

The Damn NFO viewer would be a nice option in my opinion...

Well it sounds good to me to... I'll see what I can do about includin' it. :)

@extreme_madness - Thanks man, I'll check that out in a bit (I'm currently upgradin' a PC from ME to XP... just got it up, about to slap SP1 and then the AP on it). :D

FlishFun this is like saying why applications have un-installers & everything, in case of problems atleast a newbie user should have an option to revert it back.

Well that's true... but if only one this is causing a problem I thought it best to just remove that thing. If it's wanted though, I'll try to come up with something (if possible) and include it in the Jan release. :)

Good to see the December update coming along :D.

I was looking over the tweaks included in 4.1 and found some more out there that might be nice to include. I do not know if these have been discussed, debated, or discarded (or if I just missed them in the AP 4.1 docs), but thought I would mention them. As I am sure you all know, sites such as http://www.windows-help.net/WindowsXP/cust-idx.html and http://www.tweakxp.com/ are great.

how about adding the adaptec aspi layer for windows xp, its needed for running programs like clony and helps smooth out all sorts of other cd burning issues.

its freeware from adaptec and installs via a batch file so it would integrate nicely into autopatcher

although freeware, i think there are still legal issues when binding it with other programs, hence cd burning programs not including it

doesn't seem to be a problem. its mainly not included because the like of nero and roxio have developed their own system or use imapi for cd burning now,

though as confirmation i found this floating around in a readme thats included with the latest aspi from adaptec

Vendor Licensing Information:

"A royalty-free ASPI Software License Agreement from Adaptec "

I stand corrected! :D

I stand corrected! :D

Great! Cause I've written it up and I think I'll include it.

My current problem, if anyone can help... I can't figure out how to install the DAMN NFO Viewer silently. I'm not sure there is a way. :(

post a link to the damn nfo viewer and maybe with the combined might of the neowinians we can figure it out for you :p

have you posted a list of everything included in the december update so far? i've looked through a couple of these vast posts but i don't have the time to read every single one, so excuse me if there already is a list posted somewhere

Better yet, since I can't remember the link (and the one on the main site is broken), I'll just attatch it. :) Please, if anyone can figure it out, let me know.

And no, not yet... still compiling (very close to done, been at it most of today).

    • From all that I've read on the subject--not that much, really--it looks to me like companies and parents are trying to protect themselves from children using their parents accounts to run up giant bills, sometimes in the thousands of dollars, and the first the parents know about it is when they get sued... Internet companies have been sued for tailoring their ads to children, which is kind of old news. My belief is that policing starts at home with the parents, and the reason that so many laws that can't be enforced are being passed is because parents are eschewing their responsibilities, claiming not enough time, not enough knowledge, etc. Giving kids cell phones sans Internet connectivity is a good place to start--confine Internet activity to PCs in the home that the parents regulate. My kids are all grown and gone, I'm happy to say... They have their own kids to worry about.

    • BTW DXVK is also available on Windows and offers similar benefits like on Linux when it comes to performance, at least in some titles. The Raceroom racing sim for example even offers DXVK as one of its officially supported options and it can achieve ridiculous improvements in certain situations, like quite literally doubling (or more) the framerates
    • Nvidia GeForce NOW to support 18 more games in June, including Gothic 1 Remake by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The start of a new month means Nvidia is also preparing a whole month of additions to its GeForce NOW supported games list. The cloud gaming platform received its first update of June today, revealing games like Jurassic World Evolution 3 and Gothic 1 Remake for the service, while at the same time revealing what's incoming in the next few weeks too. Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Jurassic World Evolution 3 (New release on Xbox, available on Game Pass) Fatekeeper (New release on Steam, available June 2) House Flipper Remastered Collection (New release on Steam, available June 4) Pro Cycling Manager 26 (New release on Steam, available June 4) GOALS (New release on Steam, available June 4) Gothic 1 Remake (New release on Steam, available June 5) NTE: Neverness to Everness (Launcher) The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition (Steam and Xbox, available on Game Pass) Tomb Raider I-III Remastered (Epic Games Store) XCOM: Enemy Unknown (Steam) Nvidia also plans to add support for these games during the rest of June, though more titles will probably land as weeks go by too: STARSEEKER: Astroneer Expeditions (New release on Steam, June 11) SpaceCraft (New release on Steam, June 11) Denshattack! (New release on Steam and Xbox, available on Game Pass, June 17) The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales (New release on Steam, June 18) Dark Scrolls (New release on Steam, June 22) Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains (New release on Steam and Ubisoft, June 30) Farever (Steam) FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves (Steam) Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month.
