"Technology should be transparent and intuitive" - I like this guy!

Great video IainB!

Been awhile since I've played with any of the phone drivers, but...

While I have a definite aversion to automated troubleshooters ... The one in Windows 7 is surprisingly good. Assuming the phone shows up in Devices and Printers (it should) just right click it and select troubleshoot. I've had it successfully sort out several sticky driver issues for me in the past.

It's either that or trying to hand feed the driver to each part of the device's listing in device manager to try and figure out which one is actually supposed to be installed first.

Sears tried that many times in the past and always got their buttes in a sling over it.

Like the inventor with the one size fits all speed wrench they screwed just in time for last Christmas?

Almost a video I guess...:

So that's what happens when you juggle cats in Portal.

GitHub source code repository link added to first post/page.

Or just Adele?

No reason the apocalypse can't have background music I can think of.

Getting Win7 to go back to using IE8 (since IE9 was also problematic) once IE10 had been installed was great fun.

Strange, I just went through much the same with a medical client after our management suite decided to auto approve the optional browser updates and their access to the local hospital went poof last Monday morning. It seems the local hospital's ("Highly Secured") patient information portal requires IE8 with a build of Java no higher than 1.6b36. (you just said the F word didn't you... ...I know I did at the time)

I rolled them back to IE9, and then IE8. Jumped through a few hoops to get the antique Java build and all went fine.

But as far as showing up in blue, I've never seen this in XP using Windows Explorer, all the icons are yellow by default.

No no, not the icons...the text label/file name will be in blue for compressed files and green for encrypted files. This has been a default behavior since Win2k. Folder Options->View Tab->Advanced Settings: Show encrypted or compressed NTFS files in color.

What stops some firm from just randomly inventing completely fake evidence just from lists of IP's?

Ethics? Oh yeah ...(Derp!)... We're screwed.

How far can it shift before the sky falls?

Sudden polar shift will jumpstart the Zombies...eek!

It's those pesky Russians trying to steal the north pole ... Attack!!!

Sounds like a plan ... Thank you!

In case you guys still want to know how to display the windoze calendar, its possible

• Find the tray window with class: "Shell_TrayWnd"
• find control with class: "TrayClockWClass"
• PostMessage: WM_USER+102,1,0

IIRC you already got that handle.. or at least a system to find such windows/controls. I just can't implement it myself as I'm a gcc developer and I don't want to convert your source

P.S. wParam=0 or WM_USER+103 will show the original tooltip... (which I prefer... not only because it will show different time zones)

I'd hate to admit how much time I spent trying to fond that information ...(and never did)... Thank you for making it available. I only wish I had the time to play with it.

If you like, I can add the link to your build to the first post so it's easier for people to find...else it might get lost back here on page 19.

I have nothing against it, but this link is temporary so it may disappear some time in the future, either when it's replaced by a newer version or somebody else publishes a better one...

I'm not sure about your source code licence, I haven't found any information about it. I could put up a repository on Github and also upload current source builds there. That would be a more "suitable" location for such things. (I wouldn't want to setup a real project page on my dev website because it's not my project.) But I couldn't really maintain the code, just update it from other locations and integrate ready patches. How do you manage your source code? Could you work with a Github repository as well? (It could save you from data loss as well... )

Greetings, sorry about the delay...but I really wasn't sure how to answer the licensing question (I tend to find them annoying). The original author (Kazubon) created TClock as a teaching tool to show people how to code for the then new Windows 95 shell. So given that the original author intended it to be for everyone to use and learn from...(to my way of thinking)...I would be in extremely poor taste for me to impose any sort of licensing/restrictions on T-Clock's code. I have merely been the projects caretaker for the last decade or so. It is to belong to everyone.

I've never actually used Github or any of the other source management systems but if it makes it easier for you to manage your branch of the project... *Shrug* ...is ok by me

Given that T-Clock's home (according to Google...) has been here for quite some time, I'd be happy to list/link to any of the builds here so they are easier for people to find if/when they go looking.

In XP all the update files are in hidden folders in the Windows directory. The only one that should never be deleted is the update history folder named $hfg_ something (I forget the exact name but it always at or near the top of the list). The updates will all be named $KBxxxxxx so they stay grouped together. In going with Ath's don't delete the updates from the last month or so recommendation I'd say to just use the standard behavior of Windows and delete the blue ones...as by default files that haven't been accessed in (IIRC) 90 days are compressed by NTFS and will have their file names listed in blue.

In a pinch if something went wrong later system restore can still be used to roll back to a pre-update state as in does not rely on these files...they are only used for manual uninstall of specific patches.

Apparently this will also eliminate the right to request a refund for any unused and unwanted copies of Windows that come pre-installed on most PCs. Because the catch always used to be you couldn't agree to the EULA or start the setup if you were going to ask for a credit. You had to  install an alternate OS before you ever booted into Windows at all to qualify.

Just out of curiosity ... On a typical OOBE first boot the system goes straight to an accept the EULA page...what happens if the user simply selects no to reject the agreement? I've never thought to try it - But does/will/can the system then unclench?

@Mouser, would it be possible to organize a discount?

I'll second that request! EmEditor has been a favorite of mine for years.

(see attachment in previous post)

...and number 6 Gets A "Winner" Every Time! That is just so wrong...I love it!

So Windows Blue is to replace Windows Blew ... This should be fun to watch.

When the practice of faster browser updates started it made me think of a row of little boys standing in line trying to see who could get it highest up the wall.

  ...I've stayed away from said contest for the exact same reason ...(Never trust a rush job)... But then again I'm one of the few remaining fools that actually like IE.

They won't ... but just like back when they should (Beep!) complain about the missing memory.

By the way, I liked the jokes.

Just when I was beginning to think that everybody was a critic.

Just remember that the highest complement one can expect from a really good pun is an exasperated groan.

Frankly when I fist started reading some of your post I thought for sure that Douglas Adams had been resurrected ... Love your style man.

Should mean more jobs for quantum mechanics.

*Double FacePalm* Somebody find Cranioscopical...we've found his match!

Can check the battery with any voltmeter ... If it reads less than 2V toss it.

Quick idiot test I use (for when it's in dead mode) is to remove the memory completely and start the machine. If it cant get (/boot) far enough to generate a memory error... You're looking at MB or CPU as the issue.

Note: test does assume you have a speaker to beep the memory error with.

At 48 I still have a 32" waist ... Which is entirely a genetic accident as I've never been "athletic"..

However, much as I'd like to join in I just screwed up my ankle trying to (wife's idea) run a 5K (like an idiot) a few weeks back. It took me 44 minutes, but for as a guy that smoked for 30 years ... I'd say getting to the end of the thing without dropping dead means I won.

So... I'll just have to go with tomos' stein curls this time.

Just when you thought computers were complicated enough ... Now they really are trying to piss you off.

C:\> Find Report
        File not found (hehe)

...A few hundred Emails about this new law is good/bad legislation OTOH is (the) people trying to tell you something.

Yes, but the point would seem to be that their views  apparently are (or would be) irrelevant in an undemocratically appointed governmental structure.

Yes, but this is still their own fault ... Once they dropped the shoot people for asking policy it kicked the door wide open for this kind of shit. Commoners thinking they posses the intelligence to run their own lives...perish the thought!
