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...
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...
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...
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...
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...

Special thanks goes out to: Charles Kent, GySgt USMC(Ret) …a super contributor to D7 and Foolish IT cause, he has donated no paltry amount and more times than I can count, not to mention how he has served my country and fought for the freedoms that I enjoy. Thanks Charles, you are the best!
Just a quickie for those of you who haven’t figured it out. whatismyip.com is now charging for it’s services and no longer offering free automation services as they have in the past. As such, there has been an effect on several of my apps. IP Notifier has been retired for now, entirely. dSupport and other applications which display or report an external IP address will no longer function as expected – and instead report some...
Backstory: I’m drowning in issues. Maintaining D7 by itself, much less all of my other applications, bugs and issues that crop up, new feature requests, a business in selling them, providing services and support, working a 40 hr./week day job on top of that is getting me down in a big way. DataGrab / DataRestore and DataMigrate are my creations, they need attention – but my attention is frequently elsewhere and I don’t have the...
