Yeah, I finally caved and restored. I really wanted to figure out exactly what was going on with FF b/c it was the only browser that the script affected. It wouldn't load anything, even after 1) refresh, and 2) uninstall/reinstall, as well as various other steps like ipconfig commands etc. while...

Thx for the effort hdmi, but this script thoroughly bolloxed my Firefox install and has now cost me upward of three hours of troubleshooting work with no end yet in sight. Other users, be warned: this script can be extremely destructive.

Just a quick note. I want to implement this, but RL has been tough for about a month & am now about to move, so can't do anything else right now. I'll be back. (Yup, fully intended ;)

Interesting. If all it does is affect the Windows default user folders (my docs, pictures, etc), then unfortunately no, as I never use those. I have a nicely organized data setup on my second drive, completely outside the Windows schema . This video commentary sums it up nicely, although I had...

Hey folks, very grateful for this attempt, but should I assume that the effort didn't pan out and I should get used to Explorer++ on Win11?

Hi web gurus, I just stumbled on this article Microsoft’s TCP mess, how to optimize in Windows 10/11 with recommended solution being GitHub - MysticFoxDE/WINDOWS-OPTIMIZATIONS: SKRIPTS FOR WINDOWS DESUBOPTIMIZATION . I'm thinking of trying it but before doing so I thought I'd ask whether the...

Nice of you to offer, but it would also have to prevent auto-refresh for subfolders I would also drag in; and would need to prevent auto-refresh from happening after any folders/files are renamed as well. So might be more difficult than you thought. But I've got a strong incentive to be selfish...

Many thanks. Unfortunately didn't work. (Rebooted system just to make sure.) So I'm using Explorer++ again. At least its auto-refresh prevention is as solid as ever, even in the ever-evolving Windows 11 horror movie.

dacrone, that's exactly the behavior I want. I don't care about rearranging files and having them stay that way; I just don't want Windows to automatically arrange them when I drag them in the first time or when I rename a file. There are lots of times when that behavior screws up...

Yup, I know that. I'm saying that Auto-arrange is always on. Period. The folder is open. Staring me in the face. Winsetview is set to XP and Auto-arrange unchecked. I drag a file into the folder. Instead of appending itself to the bottom of the file list (expected behavior if Auto-arrange is...

I take the general inactivity of this thread as a sign of how well Winsetview does its job, and I'm loathe to disturb the still waters. But I've had an annoying issue for quite a while and am not sure what might be the culprit. Curiously, I've had a similar issue before, though not on the same...

Stumbled across this thread and have to comment even though it's old. Akelpad is sheer awesomeness. For some reason Notepad++ seems to be the most popular Notepad replacement, but having used both, let me state categorically that Akelpad is just as good at doing anything Notepad++ can do, at...

Ok, no answers after exactly a month today, so I'm declaring this issue resolved in the negative. Making the lock-screen and the log-in screen (login screen) different is not possible natively in Windows 11, nor is there any third-party utility that confers such functionality. (trying to include...

Tried to edit previous response but apparently there's a 60-minute limit on editing a message. On the issue of Windows updates I wanted to give credit where credit is due and acknowledge your previous post here , but I don't want to have to monitor every little update and handle it individually...
