Just curious, on your project page you state

First, this is an application that came from a text of GDI+ capacity of VisualBasic .NET, Edition 2003 {FrameWork 1.1}
and then later on...
Old Windows Support (NOT POSSIBLE WITH GDI+ ENGINE, app will use GDI32)
So, does that mean that your program is not being written for the .Net Framework? If not, cool! But if you are still using .Net Framework then using GDI32 for support of older Windows versions is a moot point because the framework itself will not run on older versions of Windows. Any Windows system that can run .Net can also run GDI+.

Otherwise the project looks cool, interested in this linear tree. I have concerns about how you manage very long paths which cannot fit on the top of the toolbar.

Ever consider making this shared/open source?

False.

a) Not all Windows'es can run .NET framework.

b) GDI+ is only supported by Windows XP and towards.

a) Correct, I never stated this.

b) Sorry, that is wrong. Only Windows XP and onward SHIP with GDI+ but Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows ME, and Windows NT 4.0 can have GDI+ installed. The GDI+ redistributable is available from Microsoft here.

So if you are making your program in .Net (nothing wrong with that) and Windows system that can run .Net (with the limited exception of Windows Mobile) can also run GDI+.

I was by no means insulting your program though, it is a really cool idea. I just wanted to let you know that if you want it to work on every platform that uses .Net, no need to switch to GDI32. But if you want it to run on Win95 then well, you know, no .Net and no GDI+.

      I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.

      CPPC states can also be messed around with in most UEFI settings but aren't as robust as the ones that the Windows Scheduler can provide! Make sure you look into what your motherboard also has before customizing for the Windows Scheduler.
