Tested Autopatcher Dutch August during break.

Didn't work.

After trying half an hour, i discovered the problem: my colleague is still working with SP1. Seems the program is good protected! I should have seen it on the startup screen!

Ill try tomorrow on an other pc.

You could have seen it on the downloaded file name!

My brother used the file after reinstalling his windows.

He says it works like a charm.

Only one update file after using the program.

Wasn't able to do the test on an XP PROF SP2 machine, but did the test on an XP HOME SP2 machine.

The tweaks look helpfull and clear, sometimes the translation is a bit strange, but i wouldn't do it better!

I just have a question about the updates: what's the difference between the "black" updates and the "blue" updates?

I looked at the forum, but couldn't immediately find an explanation.

What i found stranger, is the possibility to maximize the screen was disabled!? When you open a lot of options, the screen is to small, and i had to manually adapt the size.

Keep up the good work. I burned the update on a cd, so i can update someone having problems with his XP full off "leaks".

My answer:

take a look here for more info

you noticed:

My answer to that:

dunno :cry: have to take a closer look at that. Can you tell what you tweaks you have installed?

My answer:

Just didn't look in the right place!!

My answer to that:

I don't remember all of the tweaks i have installed. I just looked at all of them and indicated the ones that interested me: maximum number of downloads 2 -> 10; dosprompt here; ...

  :angry: Now I now why the Dutchies are not posting here, they created a forum to talk about the problems and so on. I'm not happy with that at the first place. The second is that they didn't name the webiste, the credits, etc. Should I answer you question here so you can translate it and post it on the forum? AutoPatcher has his own forum :angry:

I think that it's time to send email to the moderators!!!!! :D

For the people who like to know what I'm talking about, here is the url to take a look at it. http://www.tweakers.net/meuktracker/10336 keep in mind that this is in Dutch.

so I've installed the full version and since then every time I double click on a folder or a device in my computer it prompts me the Command window. So I installed the autopatcher again to find out how to uninstall it but I just can't find the patch that did this in the list. Can someone help me with this? Thanks

I think that you have installed the tweak [dutch] "De command-prompt (MS-DOS venster) starten voor folders en schijven" [/dutch] it's available in your contextmenu. If you want to undo it, use the Tweak Undo.exe and select the tweak that you have installed.

But a Double Click? That's new for me........

normally double click is bound to explore or open, now double click is linked to 'open command window' since this one is in the top of the list.

I cant find it in the undo list...

586614002[/snapback]

If all went okay, this should be your contextmenu, right?

post-101056-1128339483.png

allright, great, I went to regedit so there I found the proporties for my foldersettings, I removed cmd, so now the find-function is default, everytime I double click a folder it opens the find function. Could a regedit expert help me please :)

586614059[/snapback]

Tell me, what are the problems in this registry paradise?

You just deleted a default value in your registry to open folder / map. Due this action the only value left is "find". You have to tell what you removed form the registry!

Edited by DaFlapDrol

my context menu looks like this:

  • Open command window here
    Zoeken...
    Verkennen
    Openen

same for both devices as folders

now the regedit part

Deze computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\

this map contains the following subfolders

  • cmd
    find
    foobar2000.enqueue
    foobar2000.play

so what I did is, I removed the top one "cmd" so now my default is find

note that the double click > cmd-line does only occure when I'm in windows explorer right field of the screen, in the left field, the explore field is working properly

my context menu looks like this:
  • Open command window here
    Zoeken...
    Verkennen
    Openen

same for both devices as folders

If you first option in your context menu is the way you tolled here, it seems that you have installed the PowerToy Open Command Window Here....... Am I right? I know that you send me something about it by PM. So?

allright, problem solved, microsoft is familiar with this problem

check this link for more info

@Jeroen,

In your case this is a workaround! I have installed the Powertoy "Open Command Window Here" and all works as it should be. No problems like you had. You did a manual remove from the registry. If you did this through Control Panel, add/remove software you wouldn't have any problem.

Anyway, it's working for you now ;)

    • So how did you solve the problem? Disabling Secure Boot isn’t a solution.
    • Another devilish issue surrounding these certificates is what can happen with old, unsuspecting PCs that nevertheless have Secure Boot enabled. In my case, it was a Dell with a 3rd-gen Core chip (so about 13 years old). As of the last few weeks, it was suddenly BSOD'g within about 5 minutes of booting. Turns out it was because of MS's "Secure-Boot-Update" scheduled task, which is scheduled to run 5 minutes after login. It's explained in gory detail here (this is not my post, but it was where I found the answer), but the short version is that this legacy system would need fairly elaborate, manual certificate intervention since MS's automatic cert update method cannot work. How to do that is linked late in the thread. https://www.bleepingcomputer.c...od-caused-by-scheduled-task Secure Boot wasn't at all important for this particular PC, so I disabled it to be done with the problem.
    • Winhance 26.06.12 by Razvan Serea Winhance is an open-source Windows enhancement utility designed to help users debloat, optimize, and customize Windows 10 and 11. It provides a user-friendly interface for removing unwanted apps, legacy components, and optional features safely, giving you more control over your system. With Winhance, you can improve performance, reduce clutter, and enhance privacy without the need for a clean install. Beyond basic debloating, Winhance offers extensive optimization tools. Users can tweak power plans, adjust gaming and performance settings, control notifications, and manage Windows Update behavior. Privacy-focused settings allow you to limit telemetry and data collection, while system customization options let you personalize the taskbar, Start menu, Explorer, and Windows themes. Winhance also supports installing or removing software efficiently, including external apps via WinGet integration, streamlining both new setups and daily maintenance. New AI privacy groups have been added for Windows AI, Microsoft Edge AI, and Microsoft Office AI, giving users clearer control over AI-related telemetry and feature usage. In addition, new settings in Gaming & Performance introduce AI taskbar pin toggles, options to remove AI apps, and controls for AI services and scheduled tasks, allowing users to better manage how AI components run in the background and appear in the system. For advanced users and IT professionals, Winhance integrates WIMUtil, a tool for creating custom Windows installation ISOs with automated configuration. You can generate autounattend.xml files, inject drivers, and apply your chosen Winhance settings automatically during installation. Most changes are non-destructive and reversible, with clear explanations in the GUI. Whether you’re optimizing a single PC or managing multiple systems, Winhance delivers a faster, cleaner, and highly personalized Windows experience. The Winhance.Installer.exe includes both Installable and Portable versions during setup. Winhance supports both Windows 10 and Windows 11 64-bit versions. It's regularly updated to ensure compatibility with the latest Windows updates and features. Winhance key features: Debloat Windows – Safely remove unwanted apps, features, and legacy components.

Winhance 26.06.12 changelog: Features Builder Mode — build a Winhance config file or autounattend.xml without changing anything on the PC you're sitting at. Flip the new mode switcher to Builder, set everything the way you want it, and save the result as a Winhance config or an autounattend file ready for deployment on other machines. Sponsors & Supporters page — the exit donation dialog is gone. In its place, an in-app page (heart icon or the More menu) recognizes the businesses and individual supporters who keep Winhance free. It works offline and is fully localized. Change History — Winhance now keeps a receipt of everything it does. ChangeHistory.txt records every setting change (before and after values) and every app install or removal, with clear headers for config imports and bulk actions. Open it from the More menu. Hebrew language support — Winhance is now available in 29 languages. New Explorer customizations: desktop icon visibility toggles, This PC folder visibility, an icon cache size setting, and automatic thumbnail cache cleanup. New "All apps view" setting for the redesigned Windows 11 Start menu, and the Windows 11 system tray icons setting is now a dropdown with more control. App-local UI zoom — press Ctrl +/-/0 or use Ctrl+MouseWheel to scale the whole app, just like a browser. New External Apps: EA app, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, Rockstar Games Launcher, PowerShell, and Helium Browser. Bug Fixes Layouts no longer clip when the Windows text size slider is set above 100%. Accessibility: Narrator now announces setting names on toggles and dropdowns, previously unlabeled buttons are labeled, and progress updates are announced. Silent updates now respect your custom install location instead of reverting to the default. Cancel in Review Mode no longer clears your app selections. OneNote is now detected correctly for Win32 Click-to-Run installs. Clean Start Menu applies more reliably by also writing the group policy path. WinGet errors are no longer silent — error details now show in the terminal output. Fixed a startup crash on older Windows builds caused by a .NET runtime regression. Config import now converts power setting values correctly and no longer re-applies an already-active power plan. Improvements App icons load noticeably faster and cover almost everything now, including legacy capabilities and optional features — they come from a dedicated, checksum-validated icon repository and are fetched in parallel. Software & Apps polish: per-icon tooltips, extra table columns, an app sort dropdown, relocated search, and a cleaner compact view. A warning now appears when the Connected Devices Platform Service is set to Manual or Disabled, since some Windows features depend on it.

    • Of course the problem was Secure Boot's new certificates. Install media created by the official Media Creation Tool is already signed with a valid certificate from Microsoft, so maybe that certificate isn't "up-to-date" enough for machines with the new ones installed in the UEFI. There's really no other logical explanation.
