Hmm..I installed some updates that I didn't before, and I think it installed .NET even though I already had it (Probably forgot to make sure it was uncheked), and got the .NET error, though I hadn't before.

I was thinkin'... in the error it says: "netfx.log", do you have one on your system? If so, can you post it for me?

Did a search and couldn't find it, but it might've ended up being deleted when I shuffled some files. :(

I have been unsuccessful creating a CD that autoruns of the December Update. I downloaded the full update file and burned to a CD more than 9 times. Each time I inserted the disk in the CD/DVD drives, the AP menu didn't pop up; double-clicking the CD icon, gives an error message saying that the system cannot find AutoPatcher.exe.

The AP is an awesome accomplishment. Keep up the great work!

Thanks in advance for your help.

sent you a PM kajouma that will explain how to fix that. Its very simple :)

Somehow you got the version that was going to be released before we fixed that.

Uh-oh! That means somehow one of the old versions slipped out somewhere! Okay, this is what you do...

Rename:

AutoPatcherXP Menu.exe --> AutoPatcherXP_Menu.exe

AutoPatcher Menu.ico --> AutoPatcher_Menu.ico

AutoPatcher Menu.apm --> AutoPatcher_Menu.apm

And edit the autorun.inf and change:

[autorun]

open=AutoPatcher Menu.exe

icon=AutoPatcher Menu.ico

to

[autorun]

open=AutoPatcher_Menu.exe

icon=AutoPatcher_Menu.ico

That will fix that issue. (Y)) I thought we fixed it, but I guess someone somewhere got the first flawed version (that's the only flaw).

EDIT - Looks like AgEnTsMiTh beat me to it... anywho, anyone having this prob, this will fix it. :DD

i know the MD5 sum was posted earlier...

but i'd really like to see a sum for the executable package, as well as for all the files when unpacked...

i've downloaded several different "versions" of this release, several different hashes.

i'd like to figure out which one is the right one! lol

upon further investigation...

the difference is between the file in the torrent, and http downloads:

The underscore in filenames rather than spaces in the root directory. HTTP has underscores, torrent has space. i assume http is the most recent because you answered a question on fixing the autorun with underscores.

in that case, the correct md5 sum is:

903eb584fe8a3d90f80e97a94ebb09be

the torrent has a sum of:

eedac023993c61025ecc6e6e3f10633c

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

      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"
