I might work on an uninstaller when I have time to burn. :)

@FlishFun & Raptor: Why don't you add a uninstallBatch parameter for each item? Also, will you add mutuallyExclusive and depends parameters as I suggested? Thanks for the info. :D

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).

hmm...anyone good with a hex editor? probably something can be edited on the installer to make it auto-progress through the dialogue boxes. I remember someone did that with the DX9b installer on the M S F N site, to auto except the eula.

Just an idea, I'm clueless when it comes to hex-editing the .exe

the only other way would be to re-package the viewer, i.e. install it somewhere, then copy the files,and reg entries into a custom installer and have that silently installing with the autopatcher.

Well if anyone can, I'd appreciate it. :)

I don't know exactly how useful this is, for the DAMN viewer, but when you uninstall, it tells you where the registry keys are, and where the files are kept

I've attached the installed files, and the reg keys if you want them.

All that is needed is a batch file to extract the files, and run the .reg keys in the REG KEYS folder

I uninstalled DAMN on my machine, unzipped this, ran the .reg keys and all seems to be working, even the uninstaller still works if people decide to opt out.

Hope this helps you guys.

I like NFO Veiwer more then that one. Then again I have not used Damn in a long time.

I may check into that one too.

@extreme_madness - Doesn't work unless you have Windows installed on your "C" drive. If it has any other letter it won't work (I had tried it too)

does the last one work in WMP9?

Not sure about that Raptor :huh:

But on a side note, check out the site at http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm.

...at quick glance, it appears they have 2 columns of 303 WinXP tweaks, installed by either .exe, .vbs or .reg. :o

:D

just a quick side note, what theme are you running for your windows xp while that screenshot was taken, it looks pretty good

It's called RhodiumX (by tiger2k)... it's the theme I've been using for the past month or so (most of the AutoPatcher pics are taken with it), and you can get it here: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=107479 :D

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By +samw61 · Posted

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
