WinBubble, Customize and Tweak your Windows Vista Easily


Recommended Posts

Hm, doesn't really seem to do much that you can't do in Vista's own GUI. All I did was change the IE explorer title from "Internet Explorer - provided by Dell" to just "Internet Explorer" and tweaked the ribbons screen saver. Might add the aero on/off right click options though.

woot for you!

haha! Thanks :)

Anyway, Some users want a Detailed documentation of WinBubble... Please wait guys.

Since it is a Dream come True for me... I'm going to share a more advance with complete

Documentations of settings soon.

I'm writing the software for almost two months already during my spare time.

Now, It's time to Share Everything to others.

Please support it soon...

Thanks in advance...

Also, Any suggestions about WinBubble are welcome :)

Hello guys,

I would like to thank Neowin.net for Everything!

"Hey there. I just discovered WinBubble via Paul Thurrott?s SuperSite Blog. What a great program!

I have one feature request: The ?Take Ownership? option only works for files and not for folders or removable drives. Not sure if you can make it work on

folders, but when I receive USB/FireWire hard discs that contain folder directory structures created in XP I can?t work within those folders with proper

privledges until I recursively take ownership of those folders. Being able to do that from the right-click menu would be a HUGE time saver.

Thanks again for writing such a great tool!

-greg"

After this... I will now continue Coding for the Next Extension maybe partner of WinBubbleTweaker For GeekscStay tuned!!!#33;

WinBubble is getting better and better because of the users that always sent email and some useful tips.

Only one feature came from me, "Create a Restore Point" Context menu which popped out in my head while walking around the crowed.

I'm enjoying writing softwares... It feels like I am writing a book.

Woot For Us! I would like to thanks again my friends that supported me from the start.

Thanks Neo Neowin.Net and Mr Woody!!!

Hey mamee, Thanks! :)

It's very hard to create a program and asking people to help you distribute it.

especially if the Program Doesn't earn money. it's negative...

In the end the USERS are the one that always decide and appreciate your work.

That's what is important to me. I accomplished many things in the University and I really missed that.

That's one of the many reason why I am writing software's for free.

WinBubble and the users makes me happy. again thanks guys :)

History

1. While Creating Blogs about Windows Vista. I was annoyed by writing registry tips and tricks again and again. that's why I created WinBubble.

2. WinBubble was the first program I wrote in .Net, Although I am writing software's already in my spare time, just for fun (Hardware+Software in VB 6.0!)

3. Because of the Help of all the users here, Mr. Woody! and great suggestions, my dream came true. Thanks guys!

4. Because of writing Software's everyday without exercise during the Winter time, I was sent to the hospital and can't walk properly for three weeks.

5. I was hit by a motorcycle because of the Anti-Bug Feature :)

6. WINBUBBLE GOT 1.1MILLION GOOGLE RESULTS IN IT'S PEAK

Again Thanks NEOWIN.NET and to all the users!

Is this a goodbye? nope, if I have time... I'll try to update WinBubble. but not as fast as I did for the past 8 months.

Tweaker For Geeks 1.0? I HOPE SO!

hello guys, I'm very sorry. It's up and running now.

Here's the WinBubble HomePage

I thought I was hacked. It will be a disaster if the page was deleted. It was dead for almost 3-6 hours (I don't know the exact time because I fall asleep). But When I checked it one by one. Luckily the message was not deleted and it was changed to draft.

I don't know why. now, everytime I post a new article, it goes to draft using Windows Live Writer. I'm going to ask someone in the help section of google. Anyway, If anybody knows how to solve the problem??? Please help. Thanks in advance :)

    • BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta by Razvan Serea When your computer is getting full, BleachBit quickly frees disk space. When your information is only your business, BleachBit guards your privacy. With BleachBit you can free cache, delete cookies, clear Internet history, shred temporary files, delete logs, and discard junk you didn't know was there. Designed for Linux and Windows systems, it wipes clean thousands of applications including Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, and more. Beyond simply deleting files, BleachBit includes advanced features such as shredding files to prevent recovery, wiping free disk space to hide traces of files deleted by other applications, and vacuuming Firefox to make it faster. Better than free, BleachBit is open source. BleachBit has many useful features: Delete your private files so completely that "even God can't read them" according to South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy. Simple operation: read the descriptions, check the boxes you want, click preview, and click delete. Multi-platform: Linux and Windows Free of charge and no money trail Free to share, learn, and modify (open source) No adware, spyware, malware, browser toolbars, or "value-added software" Translated to 64 languages besides American English Shred files to hide their contents and prevent data recovery Shred any file (such as a spreadsheet on your desktop) Overwrite free disk space to hide previously deleted files Portable app for Windows: run without installation Command line interface for scripting and automation CleanerML allows anyone to write a new cleaner using XML Automatically import and update winapp2.ini cleaner files (a separate download) giving Windows users access to 2500+ additional cleaners Frequent software updates with new features Going beyond standard deletion of files, BleachBit has several advanced cleaners: Clear the memory and swap on Linux Delete broken shortcuts on Linux Delete the Firefox URL history without deleting the whole file—with optional shredding Delete Linux localizations: delete languages you don't use. More powerful than localepurge and available on more Linux distributions. Clean APT for Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Linux Mint Find widely-scattered junk such as Thumbs.db and .DS_Store files. Execute yum clean for CentOS, Fedora, and Red Hat to remove cached package data Delete Windows registry keys—often where MRU (most recently used) lists are stored Delete the OpenOffice.org recent documents list without deleting the whole Common.xcu file Overwrite free disk space to hide previously files Vacuum Firefox, Google Chrome, Liferea, Thunderbird, and Yum databases: shrink files without removing data to save space and improve speed Surgically remove private information from .ini and JSON configuration files and SQLite3 databases without deleting the whole file Overwrite data in SQLite3 before deleting it to prevent recovery (optional) BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta release notes: BleachBit 6.0.1 beta is now available for testing. This maintenance-focused release includes bug fixes, updated translations, and a range of safe enhancements. This release fixes a Windows security issue that could allow arbitrary file deletion during privileged cleaning (reported by Zeze with TeamT5). It also adds new cleaners (including a DNS cache cleaner, Claude Code, and Visual Studio Code forks), support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles, new deep scan options for developer directories like node_modules and venv, and safer, faster file shredding. All Platforms Added cleaners for Claude Code, DNS cache, and many Visual Studio Code forks. Added support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles. Chrome can now clean downloaded AI models. Deep Scan can optionally remove venv, __pycache__, node_modules, and .angular directories. Deep Scan is faster by skipping directories on the keep list. File shredding is safer, faster, and leaves fewer recoverable traces. Improved handling of cookies, symlinks, Unicode filenames, external processes, and configuration files. Improved Expert Mode warnings and long warning dialogs. Fixed crashes related to cleaner detection, invalid Unicode, and malformed cleaner data. Clipboard is now cleared automatically after shredding files via paste operations. Linux Added AppImage support. Added cleaners for Visual Studio Code, Codeium, Librewolf (.deb), Transmission (Flatpak), and Profanity. Improved Linux trash detection, including Snap-installed applications and mounted drives. Fixed Wayland root CLI issues and several Snap-related problems. Improved package dependencies, AppStream metadata, and desktop file handling. Fixed startup crashes when Python Requests is unavailable. Windows Fixed a security vulnerability that could allow arbitrary file deletion when cleaning with elevated privileges. Added %WindowsSystem% variable support. Improved clipboard clearing using native Windows APIs. Improved installer experience on unsupported Windows versions. Reduced installer size and improved application robustness. Fixed Unicode handling, filename anonymization, Git revision reporting, and splash screen stability.

    • DriversCloud 12.1.6 by Razvan Serea With DriversCloud (formerly My-Config.com), you can explore your computer easily, safely and free. The application quickly scans your PC and identifies the hardware and software components. DriversCloud then establishes a list of the different drivers compatible with your OS and hardware. Download the drivers needed for the proper functioning of your computer. To detect your drivers, DriversCloud also displays a detailed summary of your hardware and software configuration, analyzes your BSOD, monitors in real-time your PC voltages and temperatures and lets you share your configuration online. Once the hardware components have been detected, you will be able to obtain with just a few clicks the latest drivers corresponding to the identified hardware. You can record your configuration on the site for free, and can get the corresponding URL to post the configuration to technical forums, e-mail and social networks. You can also download the detection result (the configuration) as a PDF file. To protect the user's privacy and data confidentiality, a 4-level confidentiality system was created that filters the XML marks and gives control to the user. The default level can be modified in the preferences. Using the maximum level will prevent the user from publishing his configuration and generating a corresponding PDF file. In non-connected mode, each XML configuration is stored on the server for one day (for practical reasons). However, you are given the opportunity to manually delete it. Created in 2004, and continually improved, My-Config.com has established itself on the web as a free service to PC users running Windows and Linux operating systems. The service is designed to work with the most common Internet browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari).
