Hope it's coming soon. I haven't patched my system yet because I just want to wait for Autopatcher so I can do it all at once.

It's comin' along nicely... should be fully compiled and ready for testing sometime this weekend. Unfortunately I have some things to do today (drive to a client site and fix a couple things), so I hope to finish it up tonight. Another brightside, it'll include that new WMP patch that's on the front page. (Y)

so much for microsofts "all the patches in one day each month tactic", i mean we all know about the problem with the ie patch, and its understandable they don't want to wait for "patch dump day" next month being so high profile.

but why has this media player patch shown up late? we almost could have had an old jan update for autopatcher :cry:

Quick update! I'm still workin' on finishin' up the Jan release, but I *did* finish the Change Log... so here you go:

Hey FlishFun when do you think your gonna be releasing the update?

Within the next couple days... I've had almost no time on the computer, so I have been limited in my time to finish. Don't worry, it won't be much longer. :D

@Gergith & LiLViEtDuDe917 - Yes, the Full version contains everything the previous version have. The Updates contain just the changes between the newest update and the previous one. :)

EDIT - I have update the links again. Enjoy. (Y)

Edited by FlishFun
I caint wait for the newest version. I patched my ghost image when i downloaded it the previous time and i will do it again. Thanks to the creatorz

stiff :cool:

Don't worry... it'll be out shortly, as I said, I've been quite limited on my PC time, unfortunately. If it's not finished today, I'll be sure and work on it at the office tomorrow. (Y)

i dont know if youll want to add it cause its still in beta, but i just saw on mess.be that there is a beta chatlog reader for msg plus, worth a look i think..

Nah, MSN Plus is already included, also, I don't like Beta software in there if I can help it. :)

I have built the cd several times and am having the same problem each time,when the install finishes and the batch file (cust_instl.cmd) goes to install autopatcher, it comes up with an error saying ?windows cannot find ?\autopatch\autopatcher.exe?, make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again? I have played around with the cust_instl.cmd file and tried changing the path to the exe but it keeps re-occurring whatever path I put in. I have also taken all the files from the autopatcher XP folder and copied them in to the autopatch folder in the $oem$\$1 directory and changed the ext to go to the exe file. Have I an old version that has been updated already or Is anyone else having this prob??

Thanks

Ps: great program

    • 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.

    • "No. The "New Outlook for Windows" does not support non-cloud mailboxes (such as on-premises Exchange servers). Furthermore, because the New Outlook effectively functions as a web-based client, it requires all connected accounts—even standard IMAP or POP accounts—to route and cache data through Microsoft's cloud servers. You can verify the accepted account setups using the Microsoft Supported Account Types Guide." Built to fail "New" Outlook is basically just webmail in a window wrapper and it's usefulness reflects that.
