Hipster_Doofus posted:Nevertheless, what Zorilla said is true. As much as I love Win7, and I do love the poo poo out of it, that kind of crap still happens. Just today, I accidentally navigated to a network share on a machine that was shut down, and I gave explorer well over 5 minutes to figure out that it's just not there and give up trying, but no. I finally killed it and when it restarted poo poo was hosed up. It was laggy even when navigating local drives and the icon cache was hosed. No choice but to reboot. Granted, things like this don't happen nearly as often as they used to, but I just don't understand why they have to happen at all anymore. I would love something like a "pretend I never made that last move" button that never gets greyed out. I've never had this problem, but explorer crash woes should all be gone now if you're enabling this:

raezr posted:There's no pic in the Grateful Dead folder though, unless Windows created one itself as a hidden file. I haven't done anything to the folders other than put mp3s in them. For clarification: both folders in that screenshot were completely created and managed by Amazon's downloader. Obviously something caused Windows to make a thumbnail for one but not the other, and I want to figure out what.

Why can't you just delete the uninstaller shortcut? unless it's an incompetent ancient application that doesn't properly register itself in Programs and Features.

FISHMANPET posted:I've got a good example of UAC failure. Theres a computer version of Risk that came out 15 years ago. It runs perfectly in Win 7 with normal rights, except that the random number generator doesn't work. It rolls the same result every time, 5,4,2 on offence, and 4,2 on defence. Every attack you kill 1 unit and lose 1 unit. It wasn't until I ran it as admin and invoked the UAC prompt that it worked properly.

That kind of stuff is why I just turn off the recently used programs list and pin anything I'm interested in.

Odd, about 10 minutes ago Windows Genuine spazzed and said I wasn't running a genuine copy of Windows 7, then a few minutes later went back to being genuine.  Is this common? Never had it since I started running Windows 7 when it first got dished out over MSDN.

WAIK + PXE is  bcdedit kept generating bcd files that were either corrupt or too new for pxeboot (or bootmgr), ended up using the stock one from WAIK after a few hours of pulling my hair out trying to figure out why it was requesting strange files from my tftp server (such as '6wim', somehow a corrupt entry for winpex86.wim). Oh well, in the end I managed to install Windows 7 on a laptop with no DVD (I lacked any USB drives of sufficient space) with network booting.
