Hmmm... that is included in the Jan Release! Sometimes seems like it doesn't install though. :/ It depends, actually, on your system speed. If it hasn't fully processed that the MDAC 2.8 was installed, it doesn't install the upgrade, I had it workin' on 5 systems, so I released it, but some will probably slip through the cracks. Sorry 'bout that. :)

hey man no problem. I just downloaded the update from winupdate real quick.. i probably had a way out of date version :D Program still owns!

Hey, I was wondering if theres anyway to "install" this to a Windows CD? I have an old Windows CD which I would like to update with this (And it will save me installing this after a reinstall of Windows:)) Oh, and probably a stupid question, but I assume you need to download SP1 separatly? - Sorry if any of this has been in one of the other 35 pages but I don't really have time time to read all the posts in detail, thanks!

a buddy of mine mentioned to me that he installed the jan package, and aftwerards, scanned for trojans/backdoors and says he found one.  can you adress this flish?

Sure thing, man. I'll do a fresh install and scan. Do you know specifically what one he said he found?

@Kefka - Yes, you can just burn the AutoPatcher to a CD, and it will work. :) And yes, you'll have to download SP1 seperately. (Y)

Just a heads up. After seeing the report from Toxikk about the virus. I went back and scanned my january update package all the files and then the original autopatcher directory with the new update files then a full system scan. No viruses found. No worries peeps.

Did a search, cant find them no :/

Interesting... do me a favor... take a screenie of your ProgFiles Dir, set it to View as List so we can fit as many files as possible in there. (Y) We'll get to the bottom of this right now. :D

@Toxikk - Thank ya, sir! (Y)

@[Thrice] - Thanks for your input too... curious to what his friend found, though.

Once again on a 10 scale I give FlishFun and Raptor a 10, very good job on the AutoPatcher for January (Update and Full version) (Y), I always download both for testing on different machines, I didnt run into any problems. :beer:

I also read from a couple of ppl that they scan their computers and found trojans/backdoors, I didnt find anything in my computer and I use Symantec Corporate Edition and I'm always scanning my computer with this program Stinger

Very good scanner for viruses, trojans & variants. :yes:

I already have the Dec Update installed though. I thought if i have that i just needed to get the update?

That's 100% true, but you need to run the Update.exe and let it patch the Dec Update. In the next release, I'll rename the files so it won't be confusing. :) No worries... just give that a shot. :)

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

      By duhk · Posted

      I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.

      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.
