Hi guys,

I code for a system that uses VBScript exclusively. I need to popup a sort of Input Box but with multiple text fields. Also need it to have specially named buttons instead of just the standard "OK". Is there any function in VBScript to allow this sort of thing?

No there no way of doing that with vbs. You could try a hta with your vbs script.

Here is a example that I made up for you to get the an idea of what you

can do with a hta.

Save As Demo.hta

      Sounds like a tool is needed to backup drivers from Win Update for older devices. Anyone got a rough idea besides doing a manual backup of driverstore?
    • Stylish Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge gets 20% discount sending it to lowest price

      By zikalify · Posted

      Stylish Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge gets 20% discount sending it to lowest price by Paul Hill If you’re in the market for a powerful, stylish phone, then you may be interested in the Galaxy S25 Edge, which is now reduced to $969.99, down 20% from the $1,219.99 list price. This is the lowest price that the device has been at on Amazon. You can get the device at this price if you go for the Titanium Icyblue or Titanium Silver editions. These models are the top-end S25 Edge variants with 512GB of storage. While this Samsung device may be about as thick as a pencil, it’s constructed from titanium and uses Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 on the display. This should ensure durability, despite its thin design. The thickness of this phone is just 5.8mm, and it weighs 163g. Camera capabilities and AI enhancements The Galaxy S25 Edge's camera system is impressive. It has a 200MP main camera with optical image stabilization and a 2x optical quality zoom. This feature magnifies the image using optical mechanisms in the camera lens so that the zoomed image retains its original clarity, detail, and resolution of the scene. On the back, there is also a 12MP ultrawide camera with autofocus and on the front, there’s a 12MP camera. Like many phones coming out now, there are AI-powered camera features such as Night Video, Best Face for group shots, Portrait Selfie, and Gallery Search by description. Notably, there is no dedicated telephoto lens like in the S25+ and S25 Ultra. This is a tradeoff that the company decided to make to achieve its ultrathin design. Telephoto lenses are camera lenses that are designed to make distant objects appear closer and larger in your photos and videos. The absence of this telephoto lens may be a deal breaker for those looking to use this camera for professional shots; otherwise, it’s still very impressive, especially with that 200MP main camera. Performance, display, and integrated AI features The S25 Edge is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, specifically the 3-nanometer Qualcomm SM8750-AB. It has an octa-core CPU (2x4.47 GHz Oryon V Phoenix L + 6x3.53 GHz Oryon V2 Phoenix M) and an Adreno 830 GPU. This model's display is a 6.7-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate and high brightness. This device has plenty of other AI features too, outside of the camera, including Cross App Action, Audio Eraser for videos, Now Brief/Now Bar for personalized information, and of course, Google Gemini. With 12GB of RAM, the specs on this phone are really very good. It should be capable of doing most tasks you throw at it, including gaming. You may wonder if it will handle games well, given that the thin design means it could overheat. Samsung has already thought about this and included a reconfigured vapor chamber that helps to keep the phone cool. Battery life and charging speed: The main compromise Aside from the removal of the telephoto lens, this phone also has a drawback in terms of battery life. Its 3,900 mAh battery capacity means it’s smaller than many other devices, even compared to budget phones. Another disappointing aspect is the charging, where the wired charging speed is limited to 25W—that’s lower than what you find on very affordable Xiaomi POCO devices. This battery limitation might make this device a bad choice if you’re away from a charger for long periods. One affordable way to mitigate this downside is by carrying a portable charger, but still, it’s ironic that you buy a thin phone to be lighter and then end up carrying a brick-sized charger around with you. You could also just bring your charger and plug it into an outlet. Is the Galaxy S25 Edge the smart buy for you? If you’re someone who wants a sleek, lightweight phone that has a premium build and can easily slice through tasks you throw at it, then the Galaxy S25 Edge is very likely for you. It’s also great for anyone looking for a standout camera that doesn’t need a telephoto lens. However, if you need a device with all-day battery life because you’re going camping or to the middle of nowhere, then you could probably find a better fit with a longer battery life.

    • Is the Start menu in Windows actually useful? Do we even need it?

      By emptyother · Posted

      I got too many apps I use actively. Theres been too often I completely blank on the name of the application and had to manually look through the list for it. Now I'm using Start11 and got my apps sorted in the Start menu by categories so that if I'm looking for Krita i can find it under "Art editors". If MS are going to change it, they should consider making automated categories. Seen some Linux distros do that. But if they do, theres probably gonna be a lot of wrongly categorized apps though, unfortunately.
