The paste comand can be handy sometimes. :)

About the error: What's the location of your OSA.exe?

============================================

Some people requested an Explorer Icon; anybody got some ideas about what I should add to the Context Menu's and what the default opening location should be?

Here's the fixed "My Computer" & "My Documents" (fixed all commands). :Edit:/b> I've replaced Explorer.exe in the commands with "RunDLL32.exe Shell32,ShellExec_RunDLL" (default Run Command).

Here are the reg files for Dock users.

? ? post-20663-1127733165.jpg

These reg files will add the Icons to "Entire Network" instead of the Desktop.

If you have the Icons on the Desktop, first merge the "Remove" regs and then merge the "Add" regs.

See _dock.txt for more info.

wow wow wow i can fix it :D

very thank you again for your great thing

for people who have the same problem as me change the command of your context in registry editor by use

RunDLL32.exe Shell32,ShellExec_RunDLL "whatever you want"

instead

Explorer.exe /n, X:\\whatever

for example use

RunDLL32.exe Shell32,ShellExec_RunDLL "D:\\My Download"

not

Explorer.exe /n, D:\\My Download

and you won't have the problem 'bout the icon.

look at this line

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00000000-5240-0000-0000-000000000002}\Shell\01\Command]

@=RunDLL32.exe Shell32,ShellExec_RunDLL "c:\\"

it should be

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00000000-5000-0000-0000-000000000002}\Shell\01\Command]

@=RunDLL32.exe Shell32,ShellExec_RunDLL "c:\\"

try to edit in the regeditor it will be more easy :)

That's right, but the command is also wrong, it has to be:

I've got some great news! :D

Wiredbits has created a neat little program called SCCU (Shorcut Clean Up).

? ? post-47883-1133737044_thumb.jpg

With this program you can create Textless Desktop Icons and Shortcuts with Enhanced Context Menu's.

You can download it here (@ MegaUpload.com),.if someone can host it please PM me or post it here!b>

It's betab> version but I've tested it and it's working great,.. and best of all: it's free!:D:D

You can drag and drop files, shortcuts, drives or folders to the Drag and Drop Icon. Menu Name, Internal Name and Command are generated from the Drop action (98% of the time).

If you notice bugs or have suggestions you can post them here.

He's a little busy a.t.m. (see quote) but he's open for suggestions.

I have to get ready for that hurricane due this weekend so will be busy with that and work, etc. If a strom gets to close i normally pack computer up and store it which is ok since electric is out for at least a week afterwards.? Hope the thing bypasses us.

    • Apple is expanding Private Cloud Compute beyond its own data centers

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Apple is expanding Private Cloud Compute beyond its own data centers by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, as part of the improved Apple Intelligence capabilities, Apple today announced that it is expanding Private Cloud Compute (PCC), its privacy-focused cloud infrastructure for Apple Intelligence, beyond its own data centers for the first time. Private Cloud Compute was designed to handle Apple Intelligence requests that are too complex to run fully on-device. The PCC system does not store user data and does not allow Apple or anyone else to access user requests. Last year, Apple also expanded its Security Bounty program with rewards of up to $1 million for researchers who could find serious vulnerabilities in PCC. Until now, Apple's PCC data centers were using Apple's own silicon. As part of the expansion, Apple is working with Google and NVIDIA to run new Apple Intelligence workloads on Google Cloud systems powered by NVIDIA GPUs. Apple will be using this new infrastructure to execute more demanding AI tasks while maintaining the same privacy and security guarantees of PCC. The new implementation uses NVIDIA Confidential Computing with NVIDIA GPUs, Intel CPUs with TDX, and Google’s Titan chip. Apple says it has worked with Google to build additional protections beyond a traditional confidential computing deployment. Despite the expansion to third-party data centers, Apple claims that its core PCC requirements remain unchanged, including stateless computation, no privileged runtime access, non-targetability, and verifiable transparency. The company highlighted that it will continue to control the PCC software stack, and Apple devices will only trust PCC software that has been cryptographically approved by Apple. To take security to the next level, Apple mentioned that it is maintaining an append-only ledger of Google Cloud hardware that is part of the PCC fleet. The company claims this will help reduce the risk of supply chain attacks. In addition to AI infrastructure, Apple also worked with Google to use technologies behind the Gemini family of models to build the next generation of Apple Foundation Models to power Apple Intelligence features across on-device and cloud workloads. As expected, for more demanding AI tasks like agentic tool use and complex reasoning, Apple will rely on the expanded PCC infrastructure running on Google Cloud. The expansion of PCC on Google Cloud will gradually ramp toward the full set of protections during the summer preview period. As before, Apple will also publish binaries for public inspection, provide research tooling, and give researchers access to live PCC nodes in research mode through the Apple Security Bounty Program.

      my problem with outlook (new) is that it connects only to outlook.com. all connections to external providers goes through there.

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      So is Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, just to mention a few. What's your point? Everyone is a threat from their enemies' perspective. I'd say that Israel is only a threat to their immediate enemies like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian regime, not to anyone else.
