I don't think I saw it posted in the thread earlier so http://classicshell.sourceforge.net/quote:Classic Shell is a collection of features that were available in older versions of Windows but not anymore. It brings back the classic start menu that Windows 7 doesn't support, adds a toolbar for Windows Explorer in Vista and Windows 7 like the one in Windows XP and adds couple more smaller features. Does a lot of wonderful things for Windows 7 but my favorite is:  loving FREE SPACE AND FILE SIZE IN THE STATUS BAR! This is just a simple Dll hook and NOT a shell replacement.

We've already made our opinions clear - do you have one (whichever way) or are you just poking the bear with a stick? I never said there WAS a point in doing it. I just wanted to know what reasons people have for NOT doing it, and no one has given a real reason besides "Don't". Are you always this big of a jerk when someone asks a question?

fishmech posted:Well due to the way the MBR works, a drive with two partitions holds less than the same drive with a single one. It gets worse the more partitions. Oh no 1 megabyte. fishmech posted:Also, there's no advantage to doing it - so you shouldn't do it. I mean there's nothing wrong with painting yourself hot pink and running around your house screaming and naked, but its as much a waste of time as partitioning a hard drive. People have posted in this thread with examples of how it is advantageous, I've seen one example of how it's realistically not. How is partitioning a hard drive a waste of time? It takes seconds to create partitions on a new drive. fishmech posted:PROTIP: If you flatten and reinstall so much you try to make it take less time, you're using your computer in such a horrible way that you probably should just use a Mac. Install linux problem solved rite?

Darth l33t posted:He picked it off someone else's system that he had no rights to, how is it any different than if he had pirated it online? It's one thing if you have to replace a faulty motherboard on an otherwise functional system; it's another thing to move OEM software from a dead system to a completely different one. There's a reason Microsoft makes a distinction between retail and OEM products -- the latter are tied to a computer's natural life. Dude you should just yell for your mom to bring your chocolate milk and have a nap already.

Shark007 randomly breaks with updates and god help you if you post in the forum about a bug, because the creator has an ego the size of the moon. I stick with K-lite because it works, sets up MPC-HC properly and has a x64 pack so you can have working thumbnails in explorer.

SARDU is a great tool for making a bootable live cs/usb stick with plenty of ISO utilities. You can have it download them itself and also add any ISO of your own. Will also update an existing SARDU disk with new updates and will also update the definitions of any AV ISOs. http://www.sarducd.it/

In WinRar I can right click on a folder and select "test archived files" and it'll do this. However, it only does this for file-types it recognizes (so RAR/ZIP, not CBR/CBZ). Does anyone know a way to mass test compressed files? Change the extention to .rar/.zip? http://www.den4b.com/?x=products&product=renamer
