It should have eliminated the AutoRun, and made a new AutoRun (called AutoPatcherXP_Menu.exe)... did that show up?  And the changelog is under the new Documentation folder.  :)

Nope, it didn't create the new autorun. Here was my folder structure:

My Documents

My Documents\Downloads

My Documents\Downloads\AutoPatcher Upgrade

My Documents\Downloads\AutoPatcher Upgrade\Upgrade Release

My Documents\Downloads\AutoPatcher Upgrade\AutoPatcher Files

My Documents\Downloads\AutoPatcher Upgrade\AutoPatcher Files\AutoPatcher_XP_4.0

I pointed "My Documents\Downloads\AutoPatcher Upgrade\Upgrade Release\Updater.exe" at "My Documents\Downloads\AutoPatcher Upgrade\AutoPatcher Files\AutoPatcher_XP_4.0\AutoPatcher_XP.exe".

@OptiPlex: You use AOL? How could you! (on your avatar)

Great stuff as always FlishFun/Raptor, installed without a single problem and my system is nice and smooth (tho that could be the new cpu/motherboard/ram lol :p)

Keep up the great work :D

Pshh... everyone knows it's the AP that makes systems nice and fast... not new CPU's and RAM... lol :laugh:

Sup everyone.

I just installed AutoPatcherXP 4.2 Full Release and it worked fine, I had the November installed, but wanted to do Full anyway, it installed 26 applications only.

I will be installing the Dec Update soon on another machine to test it, will give my feedback later.

FlishFun & Raptor have done a great job on the AutoPatcherXP, I'm waiting for the 2000 release :yes:

I also wanted to help some of you out there downloading torrent files, I used to use BitTorrent++, but it has been discontinued, they have a new Java BitTorrent Client called Azureus.

Very good program to download Torrent files.

Can be downloaded from here Azureus: Java BitTorrent Client

I hope I didnt break the rules by posting a link.

:D

I don't see how that link would break rules, so it's fine. (Y)

@skelzer - Thanks man! :D

FlishFun,

I posted a link that was posted on another forum at neowin one day and someone went off on me that I was breaking the rules and that I should have read the rules before posting, that he was letting me know before I could get ban from here.

Thats why I said that :yes:

It sounds funny but you never know who you gonna run into :no:

I posted this a little bit ago but no one replied. Why do I get this right after executing "AutoPatcherXP_Dec"? What do I need to do differently?

Maybe you got a corrupted download? Might have to try downloading it again, I suggest using the bittorrent link as that worked just fine for me.

I must concure with the rave reviews of AP 4.2 so far.....I installed the Dec update over 4.1 today on my current OS and it works just great! Only took minutes and I am up to speed......NO updates from MS needed! I have yet to do a stand alone install of the FULL 4.2 but I like what I see so far....Great job Flish and Raptor :)

BT Update:

Well not bad for a day or so...

WOW!

Getting 200 KB/s! Nice server.

LMAO. For a laugh just go to the main page http://www.i-like-pie.com/ and look at the 404 error.

Im glad you like my page. I am not sure how much longer I can keep the link up, but hopfully it will be up untill we can get some more servers holding the AP.

Maybe you got a corrupted download? Might have to try downloading it again, I suggest using the bittorrent link as that worked just fine for me.

I downloaded it again and it worked perfectly fine even though my original download is the same size and was still able to run. Anywho...it works now and I love it! Keep up the good work, it is greatly appreciated.

    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
