D7 v8 Breakdown
Just wanted to give a quick breakdown and introduction to the new functionality in v8… Red X behavior (the close button for the main window) is now configurable! Visit Config > Custom Stuff to configure the default shutdown behavior when clicking this button. Holding the F8 key while starting D7 brings up a startup menu with new options (this also replaces the old get system access prompt.) Among these options are the ability to start...
D7 v8 Pre-Release version now available.
A new startup feature emerges, and a ton of under-the-hood work has been done hopefully making this upcoming version function more smoothly when dealing with the system account, among other things. Here are a list of changes: New method of starting apps under the system account when running under a standard account, affecting several functions (but not enough, more to come.) New method of starting apps (like Explorer) running as a standard account from the...
KillEmAll v2.x Announcement and Usage Instructions!
I discovered a new method of enabling you to launch the same program to have it behave differently, specifically holding down keys while starting the app. This has enabled me to bundle 3 new operational modes into the same KillEmAll.scr executable. Operational modes: Classic mode: Execute KillEmAll.scr normally. Debug mode: Hold CTRL down while executing KillEmAll.scr Asks you prior to terminating each individual process, useful for troubleshooting. Service mode: Hold SHIFT down while executing KillEmAll.scr...
Now I feel special!
Finally, after several days of approaching this from different angles, I have managed to duplicate the PSEXEC ability to elevate a process to the local SYSTEM account AND have it interact with the desktop in Vista, 7, and 8; all from VB6! …and they told me it couldn’t be done! (Well, some did.) This is often a hot topic among programmers as It seems like very few people out there know how to do it...
Windows 8 password resets…
After getting seeing this (yet again) on message forums, and also getting a personal email about it from a D7 user this morning, I figure maybe I should blog it. I need some feedback on D7 Locksmith anyway. First, people don’t seem to realize that Windows 8 has two different types of user accounts – a local Windows account, and a Microsoft Live account. I’m not sure why some people haven’t noticed this, but maybe...
Reasons not to buy from Windows 8 Video store
…or the ‘XBOX’ store since MS can’t seem to differentiate between the technologies – although the support is different. You will have your account history in the XBOX online store but try to get support from there, and you won’t, because they aren’t trained or capable of dealing with purchases made through Windows 8’s Video store. To get support, you’ll need to go in through http://commerce.microsoft.com despite your cues in Windows – this link comes straight...
