[MS Office 2003*] LangSecRef=3021 Detect=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0 Default=False FileKey1=C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\OFFICE\DATA\OPA11.BAK
I'm guessing you didn't see the posts about OPA11.bak, unless you have evidence that it doesn't trash your Office install

Australis problems
Australis??? What's that?
Actually Australis has indirectly been a great thing - with all the customisation options available in Classic Theme Restorer, my Firefox UI is more compact, more efficient and all round better to use than even pre-Australis FF. So thanks Mozilla

Social networking sharing used to be an addon at Mozilla Labs, I'm surprised to see it finally make its way into Fx itself (given that Labs has been defunct for quite some time)
It's pretty half arsed anyway with it not including the biggest social network on the planet
Oh and Hello is working for me now, seems it wouldn't launch first time from the hamburger menu (or whatever it's called), had to be placed on a toolbar and started. THEN it could be moved back to the menu and it WOULD launch
-
Also, not listed, FF35 adds a social network share icon (I did wonder what excitement had been added when I saw the paper plane icon, sadly not exciting lol).
And the Hello rollout continues as it's now present by default for me. It's not actually working in any way, shape or form, but it's present lol

Did [AMD/ATI*] ever remove installers?
I have:
"ccc2_install.exe" in C:\Program Files\AMD\CCC2\Install
"MOM.InstallProxy.exe" in C:\Program Files (x86)\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\MOM-InstallProxy
"MOM.InstallProxy.exe" in C:\Program Files (x86)\AMD\ATI.ACE\MOM-InstallProxy
It used to a long while back, haven't been using AMD/ATI for ages though so no idea what it does now

I live in a free society and I am not shy to ask!
You didn't ask, you stated what you thought he SHOULD do, that's what was rude. Winapp is (AFAIK) busy studying at college and does this in his spare time, he doesn't have to and gets nothing for it, and without him the winapp2 file probably wouldn't exist in the way it does now, so I think he's entitled to release an update when it's convenient for him, not anyone else.
-
I think you should release a new version of Winapp2.ini since there are lots of new additions.
I think he should release a new version when he's ready and has time!
-
No because it then interferes with the chrome entry. That's why all the add-on entries who've a version in both browsers are listed as such
How about just [Adblock Edge Backups (Firefox)*] for entries that duplicate in different browsers? Puts the important bit of the name first, browser clarification second. Looks a little less clumsy in my opinion (unless you consider brackets clumsy looking, in which case you'll hate this part of my post too
) -
EDIT:

Added FileKey 6 and 7. I wasn't sure which those entries belong, so I just threw them with the browser cache. Is there anyway we can just combine all the steam cache sections into one, rather then having 3 seperate. I do think it will harm anything. Also, I do not know if those 2 FileKey's are the same for everyone, but those are just cache files I found at those locations. Someone should investigate to see if those apply to everyone or if they are different for everyone.
@qsdewa: No, they haven't used that path for a very long time now. I think the first versions of steam did, but not sure.
Off the top of my head I don't know what that entry is, other than the obvious (some sort of message cache), but your entry needs a wildcard as the number in the path seems to be different on different systems (and I only have one folder, holding just 13k).
And regarding merging entries, I certainly think the cache entries can/should be.
-
I think we should look over all of the "LangSecRef" and assign the right ones to the entries.
You really like making work for winapp2 (the person) don't you
-
I understand, but that old. Some of these were released in 2006 and 2007.
I still used one of those ancient Ashampoo burners till quite recently on my old laptop as every subsequent release was bloated to hell, but the old one was small, ultra simple and quick
I totally get your point, but people have lots of reasons for sticking with older software, especially with utility type softwares that don't necessarily gain anything from updates, and it's not doing any harm leaving the entries in (IMO) -
I think we should remove these because they are a little too old
People still use old software ya know
-
Worst is, ive deleted the .exe for the previous version as i tend to once i load the latest~had i not id be straight back to using the old one
-
Am I the only one who also just cares about the technical side of things?
Nope - custom skinning, dead space, confusing tabs. I don't really care about the ugly icons/colours, but those issues affect the usability of the program (in my opinion
) -
...the graphics are all choppy...
That is a known bug I think, it has at least been reported by more than just you. The rest - no comment lol

Mozilla will automatically switch Firefox search to Yahoo for most U.S. users.
Is it just me that sees the contradiction in these two changes:
Default search engine changed to Yahoo! for North America
Improved search bar
-
How about this one?
Try changing the ES language code in the URL to anything else. I can't do it. It resets back to ES.
Thanks Pusher, somehow missed that when searching the Mozilla site and works almost identically to FVD (and has no sign of anything dodgy in it, unlike FVD, just a couple of presumably sponsored links in the menu)

Thanks, will take a look at it

And I found out after 'liking' another post that I reached my like limit for the day - apparently only 1 per day. Maybe newbies to the community only get one per day.
The like buttons don't work, never have, so not just you

Anyone got any tried and tested alternatives to Flash Video Downloader? I love the addon, and it works great, but I've become increasingly distrusting of the level of adware coded into it (just look at the contents of the ad_signs.txt and suspiciously titled superfish_titles.txt files in it's extension folder)
-
This is what I mean with the flat look: http://puu.sh/d8ii2/1e3e06b56c.png (note that the red X button visually doesn't touch the corner, but it is actually there - clicking the corner actually hits the button)
Unlike CC5
Totally agree the window of any program should respect the OS styling. Either that or get rid of that element altogether and don't have a Windows frame on the program.
-
Gotta say I agree, doesn't look great. I accept all programs and websites are going down the "dumbed down for tablets" look, but that aside, a few things I think could/should be addressed:
The one I dislike is the title bar - white is not attractive and, more importanly, doesn't match the rest of the program, and the icons don't look, or function, nice. The close button isn't fully in the corner, a nuisance when using full screen and you just naturally go to the extreme top right to close (and nothing happens cos the icon is inset). The min and max buttons also don't react on hover, so gives no idea of whether you're over the, relatively tiny looking, buttons. Perhaps darken the buttons to make the button size/borders clearer
The Windows and application tabs - I dunno what it is but they're just not right. Partly they're not very intuitive as they are, due to the coloring of the tabs and the dark highlight on the active tab, the grey tab actually looks bigger so gives the impression of being the active tab, even though it's greyed out.50 shades of grey - having the sidebar, and bottom bar a different shade of grey looks like an unfinished product (also, any reason for the bottom bar at all? Seems a lot of dead space just for an update link)
Following on from above, dead space - bottom bar, progress bar, "Analysis complete" section, "Files to be deleted" section, vertical text spacing throughout, column headers (and tab heights, but I know that's more of the seemingly compulsory tablet dumbing down look so probably never change) -
Interesting discussion/observations on the behaviour of Cleanmem:
Hadn't even considered Cleanmem potentially having an impact on increased writes to an SSD
