WinBubble, Customize and Tweak your Windows Vista Easily


Recommended Posts

6 hours ago after the release, I made a mistake. I uploaded the wrong file... I quickly change it but I think some of you may downloaded wrong file (12 people). It may give some messages but it's fine. Please redownload the new file...

I'm really sorry about that...

+LCG: open winBubble > miscellaneous tab > Click "windows explorer (all files)" > type "WinAmp" or any in the name > Click browse button for the path of .exe file (command) > at the end of the command add this "%1"

Name: WinAmp

command: [path] %1

Click the Add button

Enjoy!!!

I gotta say, while I do like your app, its your enthusiasm that keeps me coming back. In fact when I saw the WinBubble update at Majorgeeks I came to this thread to see how excited you probably where. Keep it up.

Stop...What the... They gave the updated file Editor's PICK!!! I don't know that.

Wow!!! Great thanks to all the people who sent email and suggestions.

As I promised, This VERSION IS FOR THE USERS SUGGESTIONS and TIPS.

study them first If it will benefit all of the users.

Breaking News:

Recently, PCWorld.com, added and published a Review regarding WinBubble. Wow! It inspired me to code more!

"it's hard to find something that this remarkable tweaking program can't do. Whether you're a dedicated Vista tweaker, or just getting started, there's something here for you."

When the time comes (My lucky day), I will not forget Neowin.Net and all of you guys...

Because of Neowin.Net, my idol the great author woody contacted me,

All of you rocks.

About the other authors that posted a review and articles about my utility.

http://unlockforus.blogspot.com/2007/11/wi...atures-gap.html

Hello guys, Winbubble 1.72 was released!

I know NO Software is Perfect But I will try to create one.

This new version of WinBubble is Aimed to create

a 100% Bug-Free program.

After a month of study, There are several kinds of bugs in Softwares.

Some of these are:

1. A Bug that is created due to new features and complexity of Programming Logic

2. A Bug created by the USER

3. A Bug created by another Software.

I have added the Anti-Bug feature, it can detect and prevent Some bugs that can be created

due to USERS intervention...

This feature pops up in my head this week, I'm so excited to write the code and because of

that, my mind is always floating and last night After my Work, I was hit by a motorcycle.

Luckily, I Only got minor bruises and injuries.

Until now, my ear is swelling :( But I need to write and share this to all of you.

Anyway, I hope all of you will like this :)

*Please share your thoughts

I'd love to try this, but 64bit here!

I'll bookmark this and check back for support in the future smile.gif

Thanks for reminding me. I almost forgot.

Anyway, If I'm going to develop a 64-bit version. I need to buy a new 64-bit PC.

Just have seen the 64-bit benchmarks and it looks promising.

If anybody wants to share or donate for the development of the new version.

Thanks in advance...

Sam here...I switched to 64 bit a while ago and would love to try WinBubble...

I love to create s 64-bit version but the problem is...

There is no REAL MONEY for WinBubble. WinBubble is totally free.

Anyway, I'll think of Something.

Donations?

NEWS: Before the release of WinBubble 1.72.

The Downloads reached more than 70,000 around the world.

In Just 5-months!!!

ALSO, the Google links DOUBLED.

Wow! Thank you very much NEOWIN.NET!!!

    • I just looked on my computer and there are settings and log files for utilities I have never even turned on!
    • O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 by Razvan Serea O&O ShutUp10 offers a simple yet effective way to take control of your Windows privacy. It provides access to almost 50 privacy-related tweaks, most of them hidden or not easily accessible to the average computer users. Using a very simple interface, you decide how Windows 10/11 should respect your privacy by deciding which unwanted functions should be deactivated. Using ShutUp10 you can easily disable Windows Defender, turn off telemetry, disable peer-to-peer updates, turn off Wi-Fi Sense, disable automatic Windows updates, turn off and reset Cortana and more. ShutUp10 allows you to create a System Restore point before you apply any changes, so that you can revert your system at any time if you run into problems. O&O ShutUp10 is entirely free and does not have to be installed – it can be simply run directly and immediately on your PC. And it will not install or download retrospectively unwanted or unnecessary software, like so many other programs do these days! O&O ShutUp10 Free and Premium The latest version brings O&O ShutUp10 Premium, expanding the app’s long-standing privacy controls with automatic enforcement of user-defined settings. Instead of manually rechecking options after every Windows update, users can set their preferred privacy configuration once—or apply recommended settings in a single click—and the tool continuously monitors them in the background. If Windows 10 or 11 re-enables disabled features or introduces new data collection paths, Premium restores the chosen settings automatically without user intervention. The free version remains available and fully functional for manual adjustments, offering the same core privacy controls for Windows. However, the Premium tier is aimed at users who want long-term, hands-off protection, adding automatic reapplication after updates, ongoing monitoring, and optional notifications to ensure privacy settings remain consistent over time. O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 changelog: Added “Show Differences” button in the overview panel “Don’t show again” option for the restore point prompt Ctrl+F keyboard shortcut for search/filter functionality Detection and linking of system-wide and user-specific setting associations Automatic search while typing PREM: Option to preserve notification counters and timestamps across application restarts PREM: Reset blocked settings button in the Settings dialog PREM: Informational message when no settings are blocked PREM: Update check can also be triggered from the menu PREM: Notification deduplication and activity log summary feature Improved L005 “Disable Windows Location Service”: Version-specific split (up to Windows 11 23H2) and new variant for Windows 11 24H2+ L001 (Disable Location): Added Night Light warning to the description in all languages Search now detects setting IDs even when ID display is disabled and offers to enable it Detection and removal of Copilot/AI desktop apps in RecallTerminator Optimized High DPI support PREM: Reset button is now only enabled when blocked items exist – setting IDs are shown in the confirmation dialog PREM: Updated tray icons with higher-resolution versions PREM: Activity Log timestamps now use localized date and time formats PREM: Tray icon status now uses OK/Warning indicators and localized tooltips PREM: Recall folder detection switched to service-based detection PREM: Copilot uninstallation now provides UI feedback and improved verification Fixed Description text was not displayed correctly for the last item and disappeared when clicking the scrollbar Crash when clicking a search result heading or the […] button PREM: Installation path is now correctly preserved during upgrades PREM: Tray icon was not reliably removed when exiting the application PREM: Main window was not displayed correctly in single-instance mode PREM: Incorrect display of the & symbol in tray icon tooltips on Windows 10 PREM: Fixed notification flooding after sleep/standby PREM: Dashboard was not refreshed after applying recommended settings during onboarding PREM: Progress bar was not reset after deleting Recall folders PREM: Fixed service startup failures PREM: Fixed incorrect drift detection when Automatic Protection was disabled PREM: Notifications now correctly count all deviating settings when protection is enabled PREM: Registration Wizard was shown after sleep/standby despite a valid license Download: O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 | 76.4 MB (Freeware) Download: O&O ShutUp10 32-bit | ARM64 View: O&O ShutUp10 Home Page | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Fascinating...W h i t e P o w e r is now also asterisks out.  
    • In the past few days I have noticed two odd moderation activities. First, when I posted the term 'White Nationist Christian' it was asterisk's out. When I changed it to **** it was allowed! Second, in the Politics is a ###business thread I was allowed to post that the GOP is a party of p e d ophiles but I was censored  when I posted the GOP are a party of p e d ophile protectors. Wtf Neowin. Please explain.
