recall 1982 - u posted that bug earlier too, u mentioned there was another bug after that. Is there another bug or just this?

taget audience - whose shell pack were u using then? from what i think, thats not possible. Could u show me a screenshot of it, maybe i could look into it :)

sorry, i can't remember which shell pack it was, but it was a GANT one (not GANT 2)

so isn't there an icon for open/selected folder and an icon for any other folder (in the tree view of windows explorer)? i would have thought there was....so i think all that was happening was a red coloured icon in the shell pack (i'm guessing shell32.dll) was being used for the currently open/selected icon, and the brown normal gant folder was being used for any unselected folder.

i'll try searching for the shell pack i was using and leedit:)

edit: here is the link to the shellpack for GANT 1

Keep up the great work, you've done (Y)awesome job (Y)

FYI: not sure if someone has already mentioned this; however, in my case the netshell.dll versions don't match.

The one included in the shell pack is: 5.1.2600.1106 whereas the one on my computer is: 5.1.2600.1181

I'm just using winxp pro sp1.

Anyhow, in my case, I noticed that when I used 1106 instead of 1181 the wireless network tab under the wireless network connection menu caused winxp to crash. So I just reverted back to 1181.

Let me know if you want me to send you the 1181 version!

@ target audience - ahh yes I can do that :D will do that in the update.

guys choose a color for the open folder :D

thanx babis for the file verison bug. will fix it

I so hate my system for having old ****ing verison of these dlls even though its upto date with all updates :angry:

there's icons in the apps folder of GANT 2 for all the office apps . . . they just call them word editor and html editor and stuff, but they're there, just download it from deviantart

Armada is trying to raise his post count, ban him lol :D jk, i know him, he envys everyone elses stars

    • Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft's aggressive roadmap to deliver a commercial quantum supercomputer by 2029 has now hit a bit of a snag, and it's not because of a complex sub-zero dilution refrigerator, but rather because of a few lines of basic Python code. A new critique published in the scientific journal Nature argues that simple software errors effectively manufactured the breakthrough that Microsoft's foundational research claimed back in 2025 into Majorana-based topological qubits. Topological quantum computing, the path that Microsoft chose for its research, relies on creating and controlling "Majorana zero modes." These are exotic quasiparticles that theoretically offer vastly superior error resistance compared to the highly sensitive superconducting qubits currently being championed by rivals like Google and IBM. However, physically proving you have created these particles requires sifting through massive amounts of complex electrical conductance data to isolate a specific "topological gap." Because of the sheer volume of data, physicists rely heavily on custom software pipelines to process the results. This is where the Python scripts come in. Now, according to the critique, Microsoft’s data processing software contained fundamental programming errors that ultimately skewed the published results. By mishandling data arrays or deploying incorrect logic within the Python script, the software supposedly discarded "noisy" or contradictory data. Which is why it only highlighted the specific electrical measurements that supported the topological-gap claim. The researchers behind the critique argued that this makes the findings invalid, suggesting the heralded "quantum leap" was actually a false positive generated by bad code and not a product of groundbreaking physics. However, Microsoft is pushing back hard against these allegations. The Redmond giant has formally rejected the criticism, saying that it's just a minor anomaly rather than a fatal flaw. According to the company, while there may have been a minor oversight in the data parsing scripts, it does not alter the fundamental reality of their physical experiment. Just weeks ago, Microsoft unveiled the Majorana 2 quantum processor, a milestone so significant that the company boldly accelerated its timeline for a commercial quantum supercomputer from 2035 down to 2029. But the new software allegations reopen an old wound. Microsoft's quantum division faced a remarkably similar crisis when a landmark 2018 paper on Majorana particles was famously retracted in 2021 after independent physicists discovered the data had been inappropriately cropped. That historical baggage makes the current Python-related allegations particularly sensitive. If the foundational math and data processing for the 2025 breakthrough are genuinely flawed, the highly anticipated 2029 commercial timeline could easily be delayed or, worse, cancelled.
