- Agree. Resolving issues with malware is/can be VERY complicated.
-
- I DO get the impression that there's a virus that's "messing up" those Start Menu & Desktop icons. Because this is the 3rd time in about 3 weeks that I came across this kind of "unwanted" behaviour.
- I know one virus that creates a new subfolder (in the folder with the desktop & start Menu icons) and then moves all files to that new subfolder.
-
- Generic icons mean that Windows can't find the files in which the icons are stored (anymore). (assuming you also cleaned the thumbnail caches). If the programs still can get started (even with a bunch of errors) then the main files should be there.
- Look at properties of those shortcuts to see where those shortcuts point to.
- I think that NTLite has dropped the ball here. That image shouldn't be in that "Temp" folder in the first place. Much too risky.
- Ccleaner also "cleans" the environment path. (think: "Path="). Perhaps that also had an impact.
-
- I think that a number of links/shortcuts started to point to/ended up in the image (made by NTlite). Were the main files for Office & Quicken still "untouched" ?
-
- Now my "Felix the Cat" avatar has changed to a more appropriate one for the "Festive Season".
- We here in the Netherlands we don't look ahead to Christmas yet. First we still have "Sinterklaas" on the 5th of december. That's the event when people give each other presents. We don't do that with Christmas.

- A next version of Outlook Express Classic will contain support for IMAP. The status of that is called "WIP" (Work in Progress).
-
- Leo Nootenboom made a video on the topic "Microsoft & Mail". And he's "Spot on".

- The program still seems to be lacking "IMAP" (??). The program works OK for me, even without IMAP.
-
- Second impression. Yes, the good old Outlook Express is/seems to be back. Yes, the developers have done their best to re-create the way OE used to "look & feel (like)" and they did a surprising good job, IMO. Need to use & test it more though.
-
- First impression: It indeed seems that the good old Outlook Express is back. Although the GUI has changed somewhat. OE-classic seems to use the same/a similar email storage structure as Thunderbird. ("Sqlite" ???)
- The problem is that my email & internet "situation" is not quite straight forward.
- I think I even will buy the PRO version (at a later stage) for $ 25.
-
- Cool !!!! Thumbs up for Hazelnut.
- Tried Windows Live 2012 (still had too many "rough edges") and Thunderbird (very good but lacked the "finishing touch" of some small things in OE).
- I DO hope that OE-Classic sticks to the KISS principle.

- Hackers renamed the "Trump Tower" on GOOGLE maps:

Sumatra PDF Reader (v3.12)
https://www.sumatrapdfreader.org/free-pdf-reader.html
A light weight PDF reader for those who "don't like" (the bloated) Foxit or Adobe Reader. These 2 programs come with lots of extra functions Sumatra doesn't have.
-
- What does Task Manager report right before you hit "Analyze" ? Sometimes programs are still busy writing data to disk before they actually close themselves.
-
- There's still one thing nagging me in DF. When DF wants to move a bunch of files to(wards) the end of the drive then the program code doesn't check whether or not that move would place those files closer towards the begining of a drive. See the picture (weblink) for an example.
When I order DF to move a list of files then e.g. the file marked by the blue arrow can be moved to the spot marked by the red arrow. So far, so good.
But the same DF program code also can (& will) move the file marked by a black arrow to the spot marked by the red arrow and that's something I don't like. It also means that I can't use the automated move of files. Currently I must manually move files towards the end of the drive to get a better result.
- The picture also show something else that can be improved. The red arrow points to 2 grey blocks that are in the process of being written. But according to the user defined settings those 2 blocks should show up in the color black. In other words, DF doesn't highlight those blocks.
- DF can cause problems when the program is automated to be run upon start up. I have seen that - at least - 2 Vista users noticed that they weren't able to create Restore Points any more. Because in that circumstance DF seems to have "broken" the Volume Shadow Copy sub-system. Does anyone have any thoughts / experience(s) regarding this problem / complaint ?
(I know, the combination of DF and VSS is a cumbersome one)

- Someone made a photo-morph out of Trump & Silvio Berlusconi. This photo seems to have gone viral in Italy.
-
- What's the name of that file and in what folder is it located ? what are the attibutes of that file ? (screenshot ?).
- Has it the same name as the one in that other thread ?
-
- The changing of the language in the installation program (v1.30) doesn't work. I've tried to change the language to russian, german and dutch but the GUI continues to display all texts in english.
-
- The bug as described in the previous post has been fixed in CC v5.24 but there still isn't a dutch translation for that one word. E.g when I change the language to german or russian then this word does get translated.
-
- When you're running DF then Windows keeps reading & writing files and that is one reason why the amount of fragmented files can increase.
- I have followed a different approach. I have moved all the non-system files towards the end of the drive. The following folders on my Win 7 system are allowed to be at the beginning of the drive.
- "C:\Program files" and "c:\Program files (x86)"
- "C:\Windows"
- "C:\ProgramData"
- "C:\Users".
- And I use DF once a week to keep it that way. (the user can exclude folders that are not to be moved).
-
- You're not using Edge ? I thought Win 10 came with Edge only ? Perhaps Ccleaner confuses Edge with Internet Explorer ?

- Users who want to run the Tweaking's Window Repair program on a Vista system should - for the time being - note the following. If those users select repair #4 then they also should select repair #19 to be run. Repair #4 "breaks" something and it's mended by running repair #19. (No, I won't provide any details).
- We have a pretty good idea of what the problem is and I hope this bug will be fixed in a next version of the program.
-
- The socalled WMI sub-system has been corrupted. WMI is used to pull up A LOT OF info from your system. There's a program that can fix that. Tweaking's Windows Repair.
It can fix A LOT OF things incl. WMI. Run - at least - repairs #4 & #5 under tab #5 ("Repairs").
- Keep us posted.
Has anyone used OE Classic?
