I'm not clicking any of that.

I'm guessing English isn't your native language, but seriously you should at least format your post properly if you want it to be taken seriously. Plus it would be nice if you gave a personal appraisal of the product too. As it stands, this looks like a bot has hacked your account and posted it :(

Edit: What happened? After I posted, it all got formatted correctly.

You don't need a program to do this...

1. Open the Registry Editor by going to Start, and type regedit.exe in the Start Search field followed by the Enter key.

2. Provide consent or the appropriate credentials to User Account Control if prompted.

3. Navigate to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Taskband.

4. Create a new DWORD (32-bit) entry named MaxThumbSizePx.

5. Change the value of the new entry to your desired setting - e.g. 500. Make sure you select "Decimal" when entering this value.

Then, restart Windows Explorer by clicking on Start, hold down Ctrl-Shift and right click on the Start menu, and then click on Exit Explorer. Then press CTRL-SHIFT-Esc to open Task Manager and run explorer.exe. Alternatively, you can log off and log back in which will do the trick.

    • Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android

      Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels Users should be able to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices and be able to access interoperability functions, free from Google’s verification requirements, the European Commission has heard as part of an Android interoperability consultation under the Digital Markets Act. These measures were proposed by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) last week when it submitted its documentation. The FSFE noted that Google had started silently installing AI models without telling users. It noted that the EU’s DMA requires companies like Google to allow users to uninstall pre-loaded software from their devices, but in the case of the AI models Google is installing, they reinstall if you delete them, contravening the DMA. To get Google back under control, the FSFE has told the European Commission that there needs to be improvements within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). First, it said that users should be able to fully remove pre-loaded AI components from their devices, with companies being prohibited from silently reinstalling or reactivating them. Second, access to Android interoperability features should not be contingent on registration, authorization, or contractual relationships with Google. This pertains to Google’s attempt to force developers to register with Google, even to publish apps to alternative app stores like F-Droid. Discussing its submission, Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, said: Google is planning to roll out its Android Developer Certification in September 2026. This will force every Android app developer to register with Google before their software can be installed on certified Android devices, but it should affect those who have removed Google Apps from their device. The program is controversial because it entails the signing of contracts and payment of account fees to Google, as well as the handing over of the identities of developers. It said: The FSFE said that if the Commission’s draft measures remain unchanged, then Google will be allowed to make developers verify their identity. The FSFE believes that asking developers to register is contrary to the text and spirit of the law. In summary, the FSFE has told the Commission that no developer should need a Google account, a Play Store presence, or any agreement with Google to access Android’s interoperability features.
