I have to say that this is the best damn thing I have ever seen on Neowin.  An actual functioning piece of work and not some Photoshopped, vaporware piece of crap.  Herby you are the man.

Thanks! :happy:

Windows Media Player 9 & 10 Buttons

You can use this Button as a "Remote", when you opened WMP 9 or 10 you can go to Now Playing or the Media Library by clicking on the Command.

Is there actually anything left? :p

What'd be kinda neat though...if you open a new toolbar of the desktop style, it automatically keeps the old "my computer" and crap in there along with the new icons. But what's cool about the old ones is that they're cascading file lists!

Hmmm...gotta be a way to reproduce that functionality. I'll do some digging, not that I've ever even looked in that area before of course, but...good time to learn. :)

Winamp Button

This is the first Button that uses another program because Winamp has no Command Line Parameters.

Installation:

Copy WACommand.exe to your Winamp directory, run "Add Winamp.reg" & refresh your Desktop.

How about one for Thunderbird?

OK,.. but I don't use that E-mail Client.

Does these shortcuts work? Start -> Run:

"%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Thunderbird\Thunderbird.exe"

"%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Thunderbird\Thunderbird.exe" -safe-mode

"%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Thunderbird\Thunderbird.exe" -ProfileManager

Shall I also create one for Outlook Express, Outlook XP & Outlook 2003?

Hi Herby.

There are a number of switches that can be used with Thunderbird, not all of which will be useful in this scenario.

-Profilemanager (Create, Rename, Delete)

-P (Same as above)

-Selectprofile (AS above)

-Addressbook (Starts the addressbook)

There are others, probably more than I know about.

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

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Windows 95 offered the ability to add and edit the right click menus, on a per file type basis. This feature seems to be missing in the new file explorer. Are they bringing it back as a "new" feature?
    • AMD 9070XT

      By cooky560 · Posted

      It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.

      What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!

      Outlook classic is inherently better than new outlook, for a number of reasons. That said, if the only reason people need office is to read email, they should just use thunderbird.
