Looks like the RegOrganizer offer expired, and their site appears to be a bit broken. I tried getting the EaseUS Data Recovery and the account creation went fine...but the license and DL is 404ing.-Stoic Joker (November 01, 2016, 07:21 AM)

You would have to prove intent to panic. There would have to be mass hysteria.
Scaring one woman to death isn't a case.
This kind of thing falls squarely on the 'Good Samaritan Act'. You cannot be charged with giving too much aid... only not enough.

In my opinion, you're calling malice when there are many other explanations (incompetence, missed testing, programmer shortcuts, etc). But that would require that you take a more forgiving interpretation.-wraith808 (October 18, 2016, 03:30 PM)
That's incorrect. Type cd "\program files\" at the prompt in the regular cmd.exe, and it works. Or just type cd \progra~1 and it works, which is what I stated above.-wraith808 (October 18, 2016, 03:30 PM)
Hi holt,
I will suggest you install winpatrol It is one of my MUST_HAVE.
It will give you list of "startup Programs" and you can easily disable which you do not want, like "Glarysoft updater" here.

+1 for WinPatrol.-wraith808 (October 18, 2016, 09:29 AM)
I bought at the right time it seems. But even the free version does quite a number of cool things. You haven't given any argument otherwise, other than that you were inconvenienced by it. While I've given many counter examples.
There used to be a trend in blaming Microsoft for everything bad, and that it was intentional, rather than unforeseen. That's what this feels like.
In all honesty, I wish they would move ahead, and not take older Windows 3.1 16-bit applications into account when developing the file system. Not worry about legacy compatibility. Anything that can't handle spaces in the name in this day and age is either (a) old, or (b) not developed correctly.
Windows wouldn't be so much of a mish mash if they quit taking into account old legacy applications. But they don't.
But we do agree on something. If you can't look at the arguments and links I provided above, and see how it explains away the fact that they were using spaces to booby trap the file system, then nothing I say will convince you otherwise.-wraith808 (October 18, 2016, 10:48 AM)
I assume youve ruled out any antivirus or other protection security apps? Those would be natural first suspects.-mouser (October 18, 2016, 11:55 AM)
I was only talking about way back when they changed the name of the folder where programs were installed to "Program Files" including the space between.-MilesAhead (October 17, 2016, 05:45 PM)
That was because of upgraded capabilities in the OS, IIRC. Before that, there wasn't any equivalent. And that was introduced in Windows 95?

If they were not deliberately throwing in a monkey wrench all they had to do to avoid the path error I noted was to name the folder ProgramFiles without the space. Since they went out of their way to include the space one has to assume creating the launch errors was intentional. It broke some of their own software so it is impossible for me to believe these errors did not show up during testing.-MilesAhead (October 18, 2016, 07:42 AM)
How did it break anything other than 16-bit applications? The capabilities of Windows 95 allowed for spaces. Before that, there were no central locations. Also, applications that would have been running on 16-bit windows would see PROGRA~1 no matter what as directories had a limit of 8 characters (ah the 8.3 days). The space makes literally no extra difference for those applications. There were errors, sure because of the change. But the change that you're referring to has literally no difference to any legacy program that would be affected by it.-wraith808 (October 18, 2016, 09:32 AM)
