i bet the uninstaller fails to "undo" the filesystem registration so x2 remains the default app and people are potentially screwed? No, I just reinstalled/uninstalled again and the same problems as above occur, but this time (obscurely) it did offer to remove the registry bits, and now fi...

...has anybody tried the checkbox that makes x2 default for filesystem folders? That part DOES seem to work.  Haven't used it in the wild enough to know if it catches everything, but initially it's grand.  (And useful, though I thought it went against your "non-integration" ethos.) @ckit,...

I first uninstalled the x86 version (via control panel) and agreed to remove all registry settings. The installer does choose the default directory as (x86), however, changing it to the standard x64 \Program Files works fine. All shortcuts reference the appropriate x2 - ed2 executables, and they inv...

But it has no simpler reference?  And, more importantly, is it hardware (generated) dependent, or a typically long-winded Windows label for a generic address?  I'm thinking of the portable pen-drive approach.

...no use installing an app just  to use it once. It's a pity bloated malware like Adobe-(anything) and the like have instilled an honest dislike of any superfluous installation procedures.  Fair enough, I try to run a clean ship too.  Unwarranted in this case.  It's harmless, unintrusive, and surp...

Just what is the Root of all evil...

Whilst I was only too happy Vista did away with XP's rather condescendingly childish "My Computer" nomenclature, is there a simpler method than attaching "::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}" to a shortcut for X2? It's not as condescending, to be sure, but it doesn't just ro...

For a slightly less nuts and bolts approach, try this handy little freeware programme designed specifically for finding/removing empty folders.  A simple option can be set to not consider *.JPG's, thus considering the folder empty if no other file types exist.  Very handy for managing those pesky mu...

My original purpose for linking that article was not to proselytise to the unconverted, unconvinced x86 proletariat majority.  Simply to suggest a clarification to those who are so lost as to ask if " the new x64 version of x2 will be available for x32 [sic] Windows. "  Inevitable, I suppo...

As Nikos' recent blog resparked the questions pertaining to x64 (and it's purpose/functionality), hopefully this link will provide a port in the storm of teacups. A much as it pains me to create a "brief", "terse", "castrated" post (and no doubt relieves others :D), 64-...

Though again it's seems a case of rules formulated for antiquated hardware rather than practical use.  I understand the intent behind the limitation (and I et...

I like obscure post-titles.  The world needs more of this sort of thing to annoy the straight laced behaviour Nazi's who believe moderation is not only for wine.  Men were not born to grow up to be concise automatons. I'm unsure if this is related to x86, x64, x86 on x64, 11th century theology or ma...

One of the common difficulties developers seem to encounter for Windows-oriented machines is the wide (and almost insurmountable) gulf of hardware that's out there.  Just when you've got your filesystem happily buzzing away, there will inevitably come a cry from the balcony whingeing about why his N...
