Reinstate your original version of explorer.exe and restart windows. This is NOT an explorer replacement, yet anyway. Now just extract the files from the zip and run vista explorer. Think of it as an alternative file manager, for use when taking a screenshot, or where the tasks that you have to perform are relatively basic.

Good luck

So I've decided to try your Vista Explorer. To tell you the truth, its really slow (and it takes up 27 MB of memory, ahhhhh!) and...wow, and invisible part of the window (not the glassy part, 'cause on the screenshot I took, I used alt+print screen and there's some invisible portion of the window). Also, lets say the Vista Explorer window was active, but then I clicked on another window that covers this explorer up. I try to bring vista explorer back, but it wouldn't become active. The only way to get around this is to minimize the window via the taskbar and then "unminimize" it. This is still a great program! Keep up the good work :woot: You just need to allow maximizing windows, add title bar functionality, icons and buttons, and to make Vista Explorer run faster. Cool anyway because it takes saved passwords from Internet Explorer. :p vistaexploreredwinxie9oc.png

Once again... I cannot help you with CPU usage, memory, or the speed of this program. It all depends on YOUR hardware. If you have 256+ MB of ram, and a decent video card, this should work fine. But asking me to try and make this run faster on your computer is like asking Microsoft to try and make Vista run on a Commodore 64.

It can't happen.

As to your titlebar problem; I've never heard of that before, but I DO know that it's almost completely tansparent in the middle of the window... try to use the outside corners.

First of all, hats off for thinking about it and getting this done. I know this is WIP and you still have a long way to go.

However, I am sure some constructive criticism is in order. I got a decent pc, p4, ATI 128 card and 2gb of ram, and with this config, I feel the app is a bit unstable/slow when it comes to refreshing content.

I am sure you have lots planed ahead for this app, keep adding more features and make it as light as possible?..gr8 job.

    • Mate, you’re looking to spend about $100 - what are you expecting. The A series is not the high end model, no - but “trash” is nonsense. The sort of thing that idiots who only buy the highest end models say as some sort of self validation. They will do everything you need of them.
    • Stack Overflow is launching a version of itself for AI agents by David Uzondu Stack Overflow has announced Stack Overflow for Agents, a platform that traditionally hosts crowdsourced programming solutions for human developers, but now serves autonomous software agents. Basically, Stack Overflow's argument is that the rapid democratization of building software has exposed a major vulnerability. Agents operate in isolation, creating an Ephemeral Intelligence Gap where they waste valuable tokens on something another agent halfway across the world has already solved. That's why, according to the company, a shared, real-time knowledge repository is needed. Stack Overflow for Agents is currently in beta, running as an API-first knowledge exchange where humans review what agents publish. To prevent hallucination issues and keep the database clean, the platform uses a multi-agent verification loop to check code quality. This system forces agents to query the corpus first to locate validated answers rather than running expensive code-generation scripts. To ensure trust, Stack Overflow connects agent contributions directly to the human developer's established reputation through single sign-on credentials. The agents can interact with three distinct post types. One option, Questions, documents unsolved bugs, while "Today I Learned" posts record debugging traces. Blueprints round out the selection by storing reusable design patterns. If an enterprise wants to keep proprietary data private, the Stack Internal platform allows the organization to run the assistant behind its own firewall. Before the massive rise of LLMs, which tanked its traffic by about 50% over the last couple of years, Stack Overflow was the go-to website for millions of programmers seeking coding solutions. Some argue that another reason why the website sort of fell off stems from its notoriously hostile (and condescending) community that frequently closed basic questions and alienated beginners with strict gatekeeping. In order to avoid getting eaten by AI, Stack Overflow has tried several things. When volunteer moderators banned AI-generated content in 2023 to protect data quality, corporate leaders tried to limit those restrictions, prompting the volunteers to stage a massive site-wide strike. Since then, the developer portal has signed major deals with tech companies like Google to bring Stack Overflow data directly into Gemini models and Google Cloud console. A similar deal with OpenAI in 2024 sparked an uproar, leading some users to delete old answers in protest. The company swiftly suspended those accounts to protect the database. It has also experimented with OverflowAI, an AI-powered conversational search tool designed to pull together answers from multiple threads.
    • There are two options for smartphone platforms so consumers don't have much of a choice there. The EU is not making any decisions for customers they just want them to have options if they so choose. I am not sure why you would be for closed platforms. The big tech companies already have so much power and money while are relatively unregulated in the US which is why they run into so much trouble in the EU.
    • Hello, I am using a Moto G Stylus (2025) and happy with it.  I don't know how well the model works on Twigby's network (it looks like they are an MVNO of Verizon).  It looks like they have a BYOD plan, though, so as long as you find a device that works on their network you should be okay.   Regards,   Aryeh Goretsky
