Hey buddy, enough with the flaming and ranting. I installed this thing without any problems, I don't feel that my performance is any worse. You need to get off the "net" before your screwed. Don't blame the uninstaller, because you have an unsual setup on your computer.

MY GOD! Im back to normal windows at last, I used a Windows XP live CD.

I have windows restore also off, because it has a performance hit.

I manually restored all *.backup files myself, in the BartPE enviroment.

But this is the last time i trust someone that says it has been fully tested, because a few pc's got screwed up bad.

The uninstaller doesnt work flawless.

For the ones that are still screwed can try to make their own live cd

http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/ and have an explorer like totalcommander installed to rename all the *.backup files to their originals.

Ok, i have just installed this and ran the update. It's great.

Oops!!! i made a mistake... let me correct myself," i will not use this software again" (damn, i must be tired!)  :no:

Anyways...... nightRider yes when i installed this (which i will not do again) my system performance went down alot. System restore is your friend!!!!

That's strange.... my comp actually became faster for some reason... before, when i put my comp to hibernate, it usually takes about 20 seconds before it actually begins to do so but now, it starts right after i hit hibernate on the menu...

Mades some PNG's for other folders... someone tell me the best way to make them into icons?

Those are great. can you make all of those the same size? preferrable the largest size you have of the three.

First of all this software should be labeled as BETA! Before the fixes this software did not work properly. Now i am not going to try the most updated version beause of the lovely experience that i had with the first. Now yes, people should never disable the system restore to try to sheer very minor performance gain. But the uninstallor would not uninstall the software that was in placed with this sofware. The biggest issue is that it does not create a backup in the (hidden) servicepack files. For the people that disabled there system restore, all i can say have fun!!!! :p And again this should have been tested before putting it out there. I am not saying just run and call it good.

If my limited experience of this pack is anything to go by, the uninstaller is completely useless unless you're completely up to date with windows update and you've made no system changes yourself. With that in mind, use at will, but if someone wants a better toolbar replacement, from vista itself pm me.

      I don't have a problem with adverts, I not fond of the tracking. My main problem is when you have to keep clicking close to remove them before you can see anything On the site. The ones that keep updating and moving stuff around as they are different sizes are as bad. Neowin is not too bad with Adverts, but ones that keeps updating or have animation can be distracting when reading something, like the one showing now, about how much should I walk to lose weight. I realise sites need adverts to survive, but stop changing them every few seconds.
    • SQL Server Management Studio 22.7 brings "What's New" page, T-SQL formatting, and lots more

      SQL Server Management Studio 22.7 brings "What's New" page, T-SQL formatting, and lots more by Usama Jawad SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) is the tool of choice for most developers working with SQL infrastructure and data. Microsoft recently released SSMS version 22, and in the past few months, it has been steadily releasing point upgrades to refine the integrated development environment (IDE). Now, it has released SSMS version 22.7.0 with a bunch of new features and interfaces. For starters, SSMS 22.7 has netted a native "What's New" page, which highlights the top features and bug fixes present in the latest release. However, Microsoft says that this page won't annoy you much as it will only show up each time you update SSMS, and once you dismiss it, it won't be shown again to you until the next release. Secondly, Microsoft has finally introduced T-SQL formatting inside SSMS. The good thing about this is that it does not require installing any additional components, as it is built into the native experience. All you have to do is right-click the query editor window and select Format SQL from the context menu. Additionally, you also have several customization options at your disposal, such as the ability to automatically place semicolons at the end of a statement, split clauses across multiple lines, and more. However, this capability is only in preview for now. Additionally, Microsoft has introduced a preview of Agent Mode, which allows the AI model to automatically perform complex workflows on your behalf. Furthermore, Agent Mode will operate in read-only mode by default, so that you don't have to worry about the AI model accidentally deleting your data. On a related note, Microsoft is finally allowing users to configure the execution context of GitHub Copilot. This can be controlled per database using the CONSTITUTION.md file, where you specify the user details for the agentic executor. You can find details about this and additional bugfixes in Microsoft's blog post here.

      I prefer to choose my own ad bockers, not what the browser seems to think I need. i remember the days when a browser was just that, now they try and be everything and add stuff in that not all of us want. I bet Brave is full of AI rubbish? I will stick with Zen, not perfect, but better than others.
