B'ah. It appears that I made a typo in the link.

http://www.unitedempire.net/stuff/vtp4.zip IS the correct link. I mixed up the T and P.

So, again. http://www.unitedempire.net/stuff/vtp4.zip is the correct link.

[note to self, next time, test all links you posted]

When I installed this, you'd have to change it from display. After the reboot, it should show the display settings, to appearance tabs, and you can change it from there.

I think it's" "Aero Glass" and "Aero Vista" and there's two versions of each.

Did you try that?

What program? the installer for VTP 4? So try downloading a new copy.

Oh, while we're on that subject....

When you load in regular moad. Go to task manager, does Explorer.exe show up in process? if so, shut it down, and manually run explorer.exe

i have the same problem i can see through my windows, yes it looks really nice, but unfortunatley it means i can't view pics, of even another window properly.

Here are the steps you need to take to adjust the transparency of the windows:

1. Right-click on the Glass2K icon in your system tray and select ?Settings?. Now check to see what your keyboard shortcut is (I changed mine to be Ctrl + Shift).

2. Open the window that you want to adjust the transparency of, like Windows Explorer or Notepad for example.

3. Use the shortcut above in conjunction with a 0-9 number key. 0 means you want no transparency where 9 means you want the most transparency. If I wanted a window with no transparency I would press Ctrl+Shift+0.

4. That?s all! I don?t believe there is a way you can do this for every application at one time so you will have to perform this for each application individually.

I've been using this since it was LTP, and it's a good program. But before you install, you must realize that danger inherent here: you're modifying your system files, and the chance of something going wrong is quite high. You must be prepared to do some manual work (typically uninstalling and reinstalling works, but at the very worst you could have to do an upgrade install). However, once it works, it works quite well.

Be sure to remove your Windows CD before you install it, otherwise a tug-of-war will start, causing problems.

It does make backup in system32\ViTP (or something like that). Simply run the installer and click the Uninstall option.

      After enabling it in about:config, customize, density, compact; the toolbar/address bar gets smaller vertically. I enabled Nova, I notice the tab bar/title bar is a bit larger vertically now? Everything always becomes a waste of space.
    • Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in March, Microsoft first revealed Copilot Cowork, a new agentic AI experience in Microsoft 365 Copilot through which users can assign tasks to AI to complete in the background. After testing the service with a limited set of customers in Research Preview for a few weeks, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork to customers in the Frontier program on March 30. Today, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork worldwide for Microsoft 365 Copilot customers. The company also highlighted that Cowork became the fastest-growing feature in the history of its Frontier program. Unlike regular Copilot Chat, Copilot Cowork can run complex, long-running, multi-tool tasks from start to finish in the cloud by using organizational context through Work IQ. When compared to Claude Cowork, Microsoft claims that Copilot Cowork will be 30% to 40% cheaper on average with its Microsoft 365 connector. For now, Copilot Cowork runs on Anthropic models, including Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 4.6. However, Frontier customers can now use GPT-5.5. Microsoft also announced Cowork 1, a secure fine-tuned model coming in the next few weeks, which is designed to handle everyday Copilot tasks at a lower cost. To access Copilot Cowork, a Microsoft 365 Copilot user subscription is required. Usage is billed separately through Copilot Credits, based on model use, context retrieval, tool calls, and runtime. Pay-as-you-go pricing is set at $0.01 per Copilot Credit. To offer IT teams full control over usage costs, Microsoft provides spending limits, usage alerts, user-level controls, reporting, and prepaid usage plans for organizations. Usage-based billing begins today. However, Frontier customers who used Cowork between March 30 and June 16 will not be billed until July 1, 2026. The Microsoft 365 Copilot app now includes a toggle to enter the full Cowork experience. Microsoft is also adding partner plugins, with Enosix, Harvey, LSEG, Miro, monday.com, Moody’s, Morningstar, S&P Global Energy, and TeamsMaestro available now. Adobe, Atlassian, Box, Canva, Databricks, and others are coming soon.
