Simple Things Matters... :)

Summary: :)

1. The current version adds a Context Menu To Internet Explorer (IE)and makes it possible to download the youtube video easily. Firefox will be supported on the next version.

2. Intelligent Enough to know the youtube link and file name: You don't need to know the format of the link and go to a website to download the video. Also, it will automatically copy the title to clipboard as it's filename. So, when it asks for a filename just press CTRL+V.

3. Optimize by design: The program doesn't stick anything that makes your computer unstable and it doesn't run on a background.

4. Mostly, The most important thing for all the Geeks, there's a link that will teach everybody on how to get the youtube link manually.

5. The main problem that I encountered in several applications, when the program was corrupted due to unknown reasons. It's difficult for a casual user to clean the context menu. In this program there's an option to remove the Right-Click (Context Menu) option in Internet Explorer.

NOTE: If you did not log-off and log-in after opening the program for the first time.

you'll get this IE Security message.

If you want to delete the program, First, UNCLICK the option Context Menu (Right-Click Menu in Internet Explorer)

and delete the folder/files. That's it.

The Design:

By default, the 19.5kb program called YTH-light gets the youtube link and download the video. It is a command line application that was optimize by design, meaning as simple as possible:

1. Get the youtube link

2. Launch the Download Command and terminate the application

It uses any web browser as a downloader (Internet Explorer, Firefox or any) which is more stable. Also, it can be automatically downloaded through any File downloader or Download Accelerator for faster download.

If you want the GUI application, there's an option to choose. So, there are plenty of ways to download the video file.

Wow... This is the first time that I publish a software that I have no time to submit to

Downloading Websites... and the news SPREAD very quickly to the WORLD.

thanks guys for supporting me from the start and please help me to share it to others...

ENJOY! :D

The program DOESN'T STICK ANYTHING. except for the Context Menu thing... Of Course. :)

Maybe that's why publishers love it.

Ok, I'm going to update the program as soon as possible.

I receive many suggestion about the program. (new .mp4 but only few videos)

I'm going to update the program so that it can analyze, to download the high-quality videos.

In version 1.1

Anyway, Thanks guys... :)

I found it on a warez site whilst googling.

Either your telling whoppers, or someone from here has posted it there, or I don't know, if you want the link pm me Larry.

Edited by PureLegend
there's no need to quote so much

Really? I'm sorry Larry but I don't know that...

Anyway, To all the users that like the program... thanks!

Now, I'm trying to figure out how to know that the youtube video has a

high resolution format or not. I hope I can unlock it and hopefully,

It will be added in the next version.

Again, Thanks guys... Any program will not be successful without the help of

the users... It's like, Pay it forward thing.

For example, If I help somebody in his problem about computer... Instead of paying me or something,

I'll ask him to share my programs to others but If he'll not do it. it's fine...

not to all videos....since when were hacks allowed on neowin

Hey Maybe it depends on a hack. If a hack will not benefit all of us. No way it will be allowed.

But if the hack is for the good... why not?

After the HQ video hack was posted via comment. A guy created a youtube video then

how many previews? 1million+++

Wow... because youtube users likes the hack.

Anyway i'm not the one who hack the HQ video here:

Because of him tons of downloaders and websites follow.

Recently, I unlock how to automatically knows if the youtube has a HQ Video quality that is allowed to view by youtube.com.

So the next version is intelligent enough to know if it is beneficial for the user to download the HQ or not.

the logic is like this... "Do you have an HQ my friend? mmm... let me think. Yes I have. Do you want to download it or not?"

Please give some suggestion if it rocks or not. :)

    • Screamer is 50% off on Steam, making it £24.99 here in the UK: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2814990/Screamer/ You might remember the series from the mid 90s / early 2000s, this new game is also by Milestone who created the older games.
    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.

    • Microsoft Weekly: 5 years of Windows 11, more support for Windows 10, and expensive Xbox by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft giving Windows 10 one more year of support, Windows 11 getting new taskbar settings in preview updates, Steam Machine prices, higher XBOX prices, and many more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. On June 24, 2026, Windows 11 turned five. The controversial operating system was released half a decade ago, and during these years, it received a fair share of criticism (such as poor Windows Search and its web results), which Microsoft is now actively addressing with regular preview updates that deliver missing, long-requested features. With Windows 12 nowhere to be seen on the horizon, it will be interesting to see if Windows 11 can stay on the market for as long as Windows 10 did. Speaking of Windows 10 and staying on the market, this week, Microsoft quietly prolonged the Extended Security Updates program for Windows 10, allowing users to get one more year of security updates if they do not want or cannot upgrade to Windows 11. Finally, Microsoft released this month's non-security update for Windows 11. KB5095093 arrived with a traditionally long list of new features, including point-in-time restore, new Windows Update settings, quieter Windows Widgets, new accessibility features, File Explorer updates and performance improvements, and more. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Build 29617.1000 and build 28120.2374 These builds bring new accessibility features, new Windows Update controls, audio improvements, and more. Dev Channel Build 26300.8758 This build includes redesigned taskbar settings, File Explorer improvements, and more. Beta Channel Build 26220.8754 and build 28020.2366 This small update fixes the OneDrive bug in File Explorer, tweaks system sounds in dark mode, and more. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. If you use AI-powered browsing history search in Microsoft Edge, the company has bad news. A new update on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap revealed that Microsoft is discontinuing the feature. Despite using on-device models for natural search, some users found it creepy, claiming that Microsoft lacks trust in features like this. While the ability to find pages without using 100% precise words may sound cool, customers argued that it was nothing but another feature to bloat the browser with more AI. Good riddance? PowerToys received several updates this week. For one, Microsoft released version 0.100.1 with several improvements and bug fixes for the recently arrived version 0.100. A couple of days later, Microsoft dropped another update, this time fixing memory leaks in Command Palette Dock. In addition, the company is working on a new module that will make it easier to switch between windows within one application using the Alt + ` shortcut. The new module should make it to the stable release somewhere soon. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: New Ventoy update adds Windows 11's mandatory update support and more Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with chat cost tracking and multi-agent chats Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" Microsoft adds new AI study and teaching tools for free to Microsoft 365 Education Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams Microsoft's fast coding model, MAI-Code-1-Flash, comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: AMD Radeon Software 26.6.2 with FSR 4.1 support for RDNA 3 graphics card. However, the driver contained a bug, which prevented installations on Windows 10 PCs. AMD fixed that with a quick hotfix update. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week This week, Steven Parker published several reviews. He shared his experience with the Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe, a high-quality sound card with a headphone amp, low-latency communications, great build quality, and DSD256. However, it is on the pricier side of the spectrum, and it lacks EMI shielding. Check out the full review here. The second review is about the TerraMaster F4-425 Pro, an octa-core Intel NAS with a stand-out feature: built-in AI (OpenClaw). We also published a few Hands On reviews, which you can view below: We check out the SKG PS700 Neck Massager SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on Hands-on with BOOX Tappy: cute little reading accessory Hands on with the ProtoArc EM25 affordable ergonomic mouse On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. If you plan to purchase a new Xbox, it's time to act now. This week, Microsoft announced yet another Xbox price increase. Starting August 1, 2026, all Xbox Series X|S models with 512 GB of storage will cost $100 more. As for the 1TB models, they are going up in price by a whopping $150. Finally, Microsoft is discontinuing the 2TB Xbox Series X. To make up for that, Microsoft announced a few programs to make its consoles more accessible. Those include BNPL, interest-free financing, pre-owned consoles, certified refurbished consoles, and more. Valve also shared some not-so-welcome news. The company has finally announced prices of the upcoming Steam Machine console, and if you plan to buy one, get ready to spend a whopping $1,049 on the 512GB configuration. The Steam Machine is now available for preorder, with shipments scheduled for June 29, 2026. Grand Theft Auto VI also received its official price tag. Rockstar Games announced that the long-anticipated game will launch at $79.99 for the base edition and $99.99 for the ultimate edition. The latter includes an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Those who preorder the game will get extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. NVIDIA announced new games for its GeForce NOW streaming service. Those include Dark Scrolls, SAND: Raiders of Sophie, Deer & Boy, EMPULSE, and more. Steam is running its annual Summer Sale, during which you can purchase plenty of various games with big discounts. It runs until July 9, so in case you missed it, you can still get some games at a lower price. Also, you can get two games for free in the Epic Games Store, plus more deals are available in this week's Weekend PC Game Deals issue. This link will take you to other issues of the Microsoft Weekly series.
