2. Software uninstaller -> Scan result list -> header: 'Possible left-over traces': This header seems rather meaningless because almost all programs listed here are legitimate installed and working programs that are also listed by the W7 SW uninstaller and can be uninstalled without a problem.

I agree. This is now fixed, thank you for reporting!

This issue is now fixed, thank you for reporting! There actually was a minor issue in the Safety Net feature, I don't remember when was a last time this has happened. The problem caused the Safety Net to get triggered with this key, even though the key can be safely removed.

What do you exactly mean by this? Could you send a screenshot? I have a feeling I asked for more details about this earlier, if you have already provided with more information in some other thread, you can just give a link there since I must have missed it.

Scroll to the right on the screenshot. That large group of icons is an XP style Quick Launch toolbar that I added. The jv16 PT beta icon has been installing as part of that group to the right of the orange arrow icon (Zoom Player). Many programs ask during install if they should be pinned to the Taskbar, but that would be over on the left, where the Opera and other few icons are. Never seen one that put itself on my Quick Launch add on. This is Win 8, using the Win 7 style desktop.

Update: Screenshot now shows jv16 PT icon on Quick Launch bar after beta install.

The creation of the Quick Launch icon was confirmed from you in the Installer in the "Select what features to install" step. The option to install the Quick Launch icon is enabled by default but can be disabled under the Shortcuts item of the Installer. You can verify this by running the installer again.

1. The yellow marked SW items are listed by the W7 -> Control Program -> Uninstall a Program but NOT by jv16PT2013 'Software uninstaller' and 'Decrap my computer'.
.

If I'll send you a private test build via PM, could you run it and send the debug log file it generates in order to help me to fix this issue?

Yes, I can run the private test build today, if you sent it to me.

.

Should I run both 'Software uninstaller' and 'Decrap my computer' and sent both Debuglog.html and Decrap.log?

I sent a PM with the download link and instructions.

The desktop shortcut (or Icon in the Start menu) of the Decrap my Computer tool is missing.

File Tool

A repeated encryption does not work properly. Steps to reproduction:

1. Encrypt a file (check "Also encrypt the file name" box),

2. Decrypt the file (in the same session of the tool) - the file name on the list is not correct, but it is only graphical issue - the file name is decrypt in fact.

3. Encrypt the same file again (in the same session) - Failed to access to the file.

In the same session of the tool:

4. Encrypt another file. The previous decrypted file disappeared from the list...

A small graphical glitch. See a picture below.

Edit: Not confirmed = no problem :-).

Earth to Macecraft!

First of all, because it's a change to the user's desktop, literally every program that I know of asks explicitly if the user wants the icon placed on the Taskbar, and does not bury it behind a closed list ('+'). People have enough problem dealing with browser toolbars and such that companies try to install for additional revenue, but putting a program's main icon on the Taskbar without directly asking, it's just not done that I've ever come across.

Second, the install option is to "Add Quick Launch icon," however the Quick Launch toolbar has not existed since Windows XP! How many years has it been now? Windows 7 was released in October 2009. As I wrote previously, I've "added an XP-style Quick Launch toolbar;" i.e., it's not an official part of Windows. See the screenshot (applies to Win 8 too for people using the Win 7-style desktop).

Third, per Microsoft, the terminology used for placing an icon on the Taskbar in Windows starting with Windows 7 has been called "Pinning." Every other program I've come across that pops the taskbar question has used that term for quite some time.

Fourth, with Windows 7, icons pinned to the Taskbar have been by default placed on the left (see the screenshot). Given that I've added an XP-style Quick Launch toolbar and Macecraft's thinking is apparently still in the Windows XP era, I can now understand why jv16 PT betas put the icon on that toolbar when there is one.

Time to update Macecraft's computers...?

I had ran MyDefrag and didn't reboot before installing b5; I guess it was user error LOL.

Putting anything on my desktop, and especially on my taskbar, is an important matter to me, and I don't appreciate it when others try to do it without asking clearly and getting my explicit permission. I'm hardly alone in that view; even my computer-novice 84 year old stepmother and aunt, both of whom think AOL is the best thing around, don't like people messing with their desktops.

I'm glad you now recognize that Quick Launch is obsolete.

Unfortunately my missing items are still missing.

Software Uninstaller doesn't work. When I choose an item and click uninstall, items is removed from the list and the info panel says "has been uninstalled" or removed can't remember, but it isn't uninstalled, it remains untouched.

There was a crash when i exited the program. Initial Setup took quite a long time, probably because of the debug code running, but it completed successfully.
