Flish,

Where on APXP March Full release is the option that I can set it like Windows 2000 Search, instead of Windows XP?  I went to it manually and disable the Animation when it searches, but I know in previous builds there was an option in APXP, but I cant seem to find it on the March release.

I had to redue my dads computer, and I just noticed that.

Thanks

Is this what you're looking for?

EZRecovery:

Have you tried reinstalling APXP March Full and checking the options fully  ?

@Naveen - Yes I have, like 4 times now, and I still cant seem to find it. I dont want to go back to February release in order to get that done.

Thanks for your help.

@bloke - Hmm, sounds like the one I'm looking for, letme connect at home right now and start APXP :D

Thanks

I installed the full February release of AutoPatcherXP and apparently it has changed a setting in Internet Explorer that I can't seem to find to change back. It has something to do with cookies I am thinking because...for instance with Yahoo Mail...I know the cookies it issues expires after a given period of time and you have to log back in...well I log back in and it keeps making me do it over and over and over...finally log all the way out of Yahoo Mail and have to log in all the way over again before it lets me into my mail. Would of you good people happen to know what setting that is so I can fix it and stop the madness?

I had that problem too accessing my Yahoo account. If I remember correctly I had to go the privacy icon at the bottom of IE and remove yahoo and geocties from the filtered list. Hope that helps, and it is fixed in the next release.

Hey guys, APXP March Full Release has been posted to alt.binaries.warez.ibm-pc.0-day. :D

@bloke - I ran APXP again when I got home, and the tweak to change the search like Windows 2000 was selected, meaning that I was installed previously.

Odd, because it doesnt look like Windows 2000, it still looks like Windows XP without the animation.

No biggie.

Thanks for your help.

Just a thought regarding how autopatcher can now decide between full/lite/ultralite, how about adding an optional tablet pc / media centre edition, with just the updates that are applicable to each specialised version, including the powertoys that are just for these versions, this would be very handy now that more of these os versions are permeating the market.

also could we please have a status update for the april APXP

and how is AP2000 and AP2K3 coming along, will they be ready in the near future?

I wasn't sure where to put this so I figured this thread would be as good as any.

Firstly, a huge thankyou and well done to FlishFun and Raptor for the awesome AP.

Secondly, some feature requests.

Have you considered bundling a codec pack with the Bonus Features? I would Recommend the Kazaalite Mega Codec Pack 1.01.

This eliminates the need to install realplayer and quicktime.

I would love to see things like Thunderbird and Firefox, MirandaIM, etc but I think that would be out of the scope of AP. A Codec Pack however strikes me as something necessary for nearly every windows install (at least on home machines). What about adobe acrobat reader? Let me know what you think.

Some of those were talked about in the beginning. The main reason for leaving them out? Size. But we make it so you can make your own custom additions to the AutoPatcher, so you can add them and have them install silently yourself. :yes:

hey flish, the may updates are now out, and the april APXP is still only in RC1, whats the chance of adding the very few updates from this month and just skipping the april update and renaming it the may update, it would be a great help as my work is near its bandwidth cap already and it not even half way through the month :no:

(Y) i think this would be a great idea, even if it delayed the release by a couple extra days.

    • NirLauncher 1.30.24

      By Copernic · Posted

      NirLauncher 1.30.24 by Razvan Serea NirLauncher is a suite of more than 200 of NirSoft's excellent portable freeware Windows utilities, and provides an interface that makes it easy to find and launch the tools you need. Which works for us - because there's something here for everyone. Have you forgotten a password stored in your browser or email client, for instance? Recovery tools here may be able to find them for you. Maybe you'd like to check your hard drive health? A disk tool will display its S.M.A.R.T. data (if the drive supports this), so you can view read/ write errors, temperature and other useful details. Is your system unstable? The System Utilities section includes several tools that can help to explain why your PC might be crashing. And there are a host of other programs on offer in categories like "Network Monitoring", "Web Browser Tools", "Video/ Audio Related Utilities", "Outlook/ Office Utilities" and more. Please note, perhaps because a few of these tools can be used maliciously (the password revealers, say), some antivirus programs will flag them as threats. We've never had a problem with any NirSoft tool, though, and you can read more on this issue at the author's site. NirLauncher is an excellent set of free tools, and a must-have for everyone's portable troubleshooting toolkit. NirLauncher Features: NirLauncher can be used from USB flash drive without need of any installation. NirLauncher and all the utilities in the package are completely freeware, without any Spyware/Adware/Malware. This package doesn't contain any 3-party software, toolbars, Web browser plugins, or other unwanted surprises. It will not install any software on your system and it will not change your Web browser homepage or other settings on your system. NirLauncher package includes variety of tools that you may need for your daily computer use, including utilities to recover lost passwords, to monitor your network, to view and extract cookies, cache, and other information stored by your Web browser, to search files in your system, and more... For every utility in the package, you can easily run it, view the help file, or jump to the Web page of the utility. When using it from USB flash drive, the configuration of every utility is saved into .cfg file on the flash drive. On x64 systems, NirLauncher automatically run the x64 version of the utility, when there is a separated x64 version. NirLauncher also allows to add more software packages in additional to the main NirSoft package. NirLauncher allows you generate plugin files for BartPE (Launcher -> Generate BartPE Plugin Files), so you can easily use the utilities of NirSoft from a bootable live windows CD. Additional packages (Piriform, SysInternals...) and instructions are available on the Nirlauncher download page. Note: This zip file below is password-protected. The password for extracting the files is nirsoft9876$ Download: NirLauncher 1.30.24 | 39.8 MB (Freeware) Link: NirLauncher Home Page | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By MikeK13 · Posted

      What people who support this position of LibreOffice do not understand is that EuroOffice is not made to appease the open source enthusiasts (I am also one) and evangelists. EuroOffice was made because some European companies wanted independence from Microsoft Office Suite, which is something installable on your computer. This move to independence was pushed by public institutions and governments in Europe, as well. Using a proprietary FORMAT as default, does not make you dependent on MS. The actual program does. A format can be changed with a simple update in the future in a dystopian world where MS would manipulate the format to lock others out. However, using MS Office proprietary format, guarantees that all the current documents used by companies, organizations, institutions, etc, will be compatible with EuroOffice and the suite will have the best chances at adoption, especially by slow moving organizations like governments and the public sector. It is as simple as that. For the same reason, even the UI is incredibly similar to MS Office. For the same reason (adoption) the choice was made to be open source. Not because EU particularly loves open source ideologically, but because it gives the best starting point to create trust in the project and amass developers and contributions to the project quickly, to catch up with proprietary projects like MS Office. I don't understand how people don't realize it.
    • Microsoft hides these secret Windows 11 performance boost settings available on every PC

      By WaltC · Posted

      How old is this tip? Seems 15-20 years old? Processor states for the CPU under Windows power options has been a thing for a long, long time. It certainly isn't new or hidden... Also, with laptops it doesn't make any difference what OS you are running, all of them are configured for battery longevity over performance, for obvious reasons. Wanted to add as well that most systems in use currently do burst as setup in the uefi bios settings, and usually when a setting is "hidden" like this in Windows it's because it's either obsolete or it is redundant--doesn't override the bios and the CPU drivers. There is a lot of crap in the registry that needs to come out...;) It's hamless and might consume 1-2kb of space in total, though.
    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      By WaltC · Posted

      I can't believe Starmer is still there...his party lost so big. He's a stubborn coot, but this is largely unenforceable, so I would imagine he'll be resigning soon. A key here is for parents to buy their kids phones sans Internet access--and set up the Internet at home, where mom and day can, you know, act like parents instead expecting the government to raise their kids.
