Re: for the romantic dreamers...

Windows 10 has its flaws, including a horrible performance on well-matured machines, My perception is that Win10 runs considerably snappier on my 6 year old, 8GB i5 Clarkdale than Win 7 ever did. Especially start up times, 8-10 sec from boot to desktop, < 30 seconds to run the 27 proglets I run at ...

Re: blog: Q: how big is winsxs folder?

I've been using disk cleanup since I installed Win 7, now use it on Win 10 - never had any problem with, or because of it. That DISM stuff in prior versions was too hard for me. The FileMenuTools' Folder Size feature offers the choice of discounting the hardlinks. It takes longer to do the sums if y...

Re: Drag and drop behaviour: copy or move

Press the Shift key before you drop the file. Or Drag file/folder with right mouse button down. When you Drop it at destination you'll be presented with a menu "Copy here, Move here, Create shortcut here, Cancel". 3rd party shell extensions may add further options, eg WinRAR has options t...

Re: How can I preserve comments made to files?

And Alt Data Streams probably won't survive a trip through the clouds, whereas embedded comments will. Or to the new planet. I would call it Hel (or Hella). Hel is a Norse Goddess, Loki's daughter, banished by Odin, rules over the nine worlds of the dead -- aka as Helheim. Seems entirely appropriate...

Re: deskrule v1.2 final released

From Give Us Our Eleven Days | The English calendar riots of 1752 Have you have ever wondered why the tax year in Britain starts on the unlikely date of 6th April, rather than 1st January? The official start of the year on the Julian calendar used to be Lady Day (25th March), and this was also the o...

Re: Xplorer2 2.4 ultimate freezes on Windows 10

Hi, I recently moved to a new computer with Windows 10 home edition and now X2 frequently freezes. It happens mainly (or always) when dragging files to other apps. Does anyone has a solution or suggestion for this issue? X2 version: 2.4.0.0 ULT [Unicode] x64 06.09.2013. Winver: Windows version 10, ...

Re: File Menu Tools version 7.0.1

BTW I got an unofficial confirmation on Technet that DLT in Win 10 does indeed detect shortcut target moves and renames on removable devices - but responder couldn't find anything 'official' :shrug: Is that contingent upon a reboot, or does it happen automagically on plugin? The previous dox referr...

Re: File Menu Tools version 7.0.1

the previous version "always triggering the copy menu on Total Commander"... which is too much of a coincidence to actually be a coincidence. :D To be sure it's isn't. I'm going to wait a while (like at least a month) before I upgrade - they've been a bit thick and fast. I wonder what he ...

Re: File Menu Tools version 7.0.1

From a quick install to test, that problem seems to be specific to 2.5.0.4 on Win10. It does not happen with newer versions of x2 (on Win10) , and nor does it happen with 2.5.0.4 on Win7. This is an issue for FMT itself I would suspect, as it's the one messing with the shell - though exactly how yo...

File Menu Tools version 7.0.1

Anyone using FMT - two of the features I use a lot are copy the file path and copy the file url to clipboard With latest version 7.0.1 of FMT, whenever I do one of those, it fires off X2's Copy feature - didn't happen with FMT 6.7.2. Note that I'm on an old version of X2 (see signature), because not...
