Botiemaster Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 Well i'll probably not get the new one. The older one sounds better with auto log on, if that's what's gonna be missing. I like that option very much. The one that works for 9x still works with XP, and i downloaded the XP version and it works too. If i change a setting in one, it has the same changes in the other when i open it. So both might as well be one. The only difference, the 9x is "installed" in the control panel while the XP version got put in the programs folder. I don't know if it's good to have both, but it's never effected my comp as far as i know. I don't know why it's such a big deal. It's just the auto log on feature. EVERYONE should be able to get it no matter the version of windows you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scumdogmillionaire Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 From what I hear the only reason the pulled them was a SMALL security problem with the AutoLogin of TweakUI The new release is supposed to correct this and this only. But, this is just what I heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Otto Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 If it is some minor fix, I'm gonna just give MS the big ol finger and say screw you cuz there products and support is nothing but bull. New dates **** me off for thing i look forward to. Although im thinking power toys is gonna be a load of crap unless they put in something completely new.

neowin_hipster Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 It isn't the end of the month. Don't get your panties in a knot. If it isn't out by then, which it won't be, then go and complain. I doubt anyone is even working on it at the moment as microsoft is very busy preparing a phony, non-modular OS for the U.S. justice department.

y_notm Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 Originally posted by Prof. Frink I think this speaks for itself... that version number would be the version of whatever program they used to package the powertoys and the auto-login feature is a reg tweak, if they do remove it from TweakUI (most likely) you can still find it on regedit.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then delete your post :p EDIT: To clarify, what I said is that all TWEAKUI does is alter the registry, TweakUI is a powertoy as is the audio player, they have nothing to do with each other.
