The DOWNLOADS user folder has been added to cleanmgr.exe in the latest Windows 10 October 2018 feature update (1809 version). What does this mean in general? When running Disk Cleanup on the latest version of Windows 10 a new item has been added named “Downloads” seen below: With this option checked it will delete all […]

We do not promote underage nicotine consumption, nor do we even recommend taking it up if you haven’t already. This (like our other articles on this subject) is to try to assist those who are already hooked on nicotine through cigarettes and want/need a better form of ingestion.

d7x v0.0.0.90 just released adds Windows 10 to custom app platform/OS restriction settings.  If not configured, behavior should not change.  Backwards compatibility note:  This is the only area in d7x configurations where d7II may (and likely will) erase the setting entirely when used to edit the same custom app configuration. Although we’re not looking to add […]

This latest d7x Alpha “TestBuild” replaces the “d7IIx Alpha” versions opened to all d7II subscribers in March.   We believe this release can be tested with confidence in a production environment, provided you keep d7II with you as a backup.  d7x Alpha is designed to sit beside d7II in the same folder, and maintains backwards compatibility with […]
