Thank you for the link to Betterbird, which I hadn't heard about. I'll check it out.

Portableapps.com creates extra folders that most portable software does not. I also believe it puts files/folders on the C drive, which doesn't match my definition of 'portable'. Before posting my note, I did download and extract their version, but when I opened it, it did not recognize my...

I'm currently using Thunderbird Portable 64-bit 128.11.0 ESR Nebula. I saw that Mozilla is recommending folks switch from Extended Support Release to Release. Can anyone recommend a non-portableapps.com version of Thunderbird portable for download? Thanks for any help.

I'm using a AutoHotKey script to run the snip: Run "ms-screenclip:?source=QuickActions" . There are no settings options shown. After I outline the area to snip and release the left mouse button the small toolbar with the four buttons disappears; no notifications. The AHK script works fine...

After I do a snip, the tool automatically closes, requiring me to reopen it to do another snip. Is there any way to have it not close automatically? Or is there a better snipping tool that the one that comes with Windows 11? Thanks for any assistance.

Thank you for your replies. I did another search and found the item to be changed in about:config : toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets, which had to change from false to true. I'm a long time user of Mozilla/SeaMonkey/Firefox and don't remember having to make this change in...

I'm using Tor portable and want to use a userChrome.css file. I copied the file from my Firefox folder, but can't get it to work in Tor. I've tried these folders: Tor Portable\Browser\TorBrowser\Data\Browser\profile.default Tor Portable\Browser\TorBrowser\Data\Browser\profile.default\chrome...

I'm using the latest version of SpeedyFox portable. When run, it shows duplicate lines for the same profiles. Anyone know how I can remove these duplicates from the listing? Thanks for any help.

I saw that tutorial yesterday, but since it referenced duplicate removable drives, I didn't think it would work. I also looked at the entry in the registry. In any event, I just downloaded and ran it and it worked. Many thanks.

Windows 11 23H2 File explorer is now showing the CD drive in two places: Anyone know how to remove the second line for the Z drive? The drive appears only once in disk management. Thanks for any help.

I just did a search on "en-GB" in my Windows folder and found 17,047 items. of which 707 are folders, the rest files. Since I'm only using en-US, I don't think I need the en-GB items or any of the other non en-US type items in the initial load. Has anyone written a batch file to remove all...

Thank you for your replies. To hdmi: I put your codes (with the folder locations changed) into a bat file and ran it as administrator, then restarted my PC. The locations did not change in the Environment Variables box. To TairikuOkami: Why does one line have REG_EXPAND_SZ and the other...

I use a RAM disk for temporary files but when I have a large Windows update I need to change the Environment Variables' temp locations to a different disk. I do this manually each time for the four items (User: TEMP and TMP, System: TEMP and TMP). Does anyone have a batch or reg file that will...

I modified and loaded the settings file and the date/time items changed to what I put in the file. I then opened the settings menu and the items in the change box matched what I had put in the file and I could then edit the change box. Not as easy as it should have been, but problem solved...

I uninstalled EC 4.4.1.1 and my clock did not show the seconds, so it appears the EC mod for seconds was working there. After installing EC 4.4.0, still couldn't modify the date/time entries, so I've reloaded the latest version.
