Coronavirus: General discussion (see opening post for rules)
BOOT replied to Dos_Box's topic in General Chat
I think a lot of people are confusing 'vaccinated' with 'immune'. Vaccinated people still get infected and still infect others. Testing and isolating has great effect on stopping the spread. I see 'proof of negative test' replacing 'proof of vaccination' in the near future. Of course there will still be some people who refuse to test.... -

The NHS is a massive employer, not all of those are in hospitals etc, interacting with patients. Some staff aren't even in the UK. -
Not even one week, and already a completely broken start button.

I've never had it working with shortcuts starting with: %ProgramFiles% or C:\Windows etc. Always needed to replace those with their "KnownFolder" GUID equivalents. Like: { "desktopAppId": "{6D809377-6AF0-444B-8957-A3773F02200E}\\Windows Media Player\\wmplayer.exe" } or { "desktopAppId": "{1AC14E77-02E7-4E5D-B744-2EB1AE5198B7}\\mstsc.exe" }

This is what I'm using for testing Office 2019 pins: { "primaryOEMPins": [ { "desktopAppId": "{6D809377-6AF0-444B-8957-A3773F02200E}\\Microsoft Office\\root\\Office16\\WINWORD.EXE" } ], "secondaryOEMPins": [ { "desktopAppId": "{6D809377-6AF0-444B-8957-A3773F02200E}\\Microsoft Office\\root\\Office16\\EXCEL.EXE" } ], "firstRunOEMPins": [ { "desktopAppId": "{6D809377-6AF0-444B-8957-A3773F02200E}\\Microsoft Office\\root\\Office16\\POWERPNT.EXE" } ] }

Backslashes are special characters in .json files, so double backslashes are used instead.

I've only had it working using "desktopAppId" example: "secondaryOEMPins": [ { "desktopAppId": "{6D809377-6AF0-444B-8957-A3773F02200E}\\Microsoft Office\\root\\Office16\\EXCEL.EXE" } ] Not found a way to unpin all the other junk yet.

Have you tried adding: INBOX_DIR="PATH" OUTBOX_DIR="PATH" to the command?
-
Nope. It's far from ready.

On 1909+ I've been using the 20H2 and 21H1 enablement packages. Takes minutes.

Finally had my first dose Friday; only took 6 months, a dozen cancelled appointments and a 100 mile round-trip. -
[21h1] Redirect Desktop icons disappearing on sleep
BOOT replied to Warwick_Tech's topic in Windows 10
Is the share set to be available offline? -
[21h1] Redirect Desktop icons disappearing on sleep
BOOT replied to Warwick_Tech's topic in Windows 10
Are you redirecting the desktop to a network location? -
It's pretty inconsistent. For me, I have 3 shortcuts to the same executable and only one will get a list of recent files, not always the same one either.

[2004, 20h2] Mandatory Profiles not deleting
BOOT replied to kidpressingbuttons's topic in Windows 10
There's usually an entry in the event log once the user logs out - Rarely much help though. -

I have a history of blood clots which doesn't help. Either way, nearest walk-in is 25 miles away. I may live out in the middle of nowhere... but there's a hospital down the road. You'd think they'd do jabs in there... -

Users registry hive could still be loaded. You can check this remotely by looking at HKEY_USERS. -

I'm not vaccinated yet. Would if I could. -
[1909, ou] NTUSER.DAT - Local profile modified for disabled user - Breaking DelProf2
BOOT replied to CHiLL's topic in Windows 10
That's because old profiles can be loaded during updates etc. and never go stale. -

BOOT replied to CHiLL's topic in Windows 10
Don't use delprof2. It doesn't work in Windows 10. Profiles are much more complicated now that app containers exist. It doesn't keep the AppX provisioning in sync with profiles if they're simply deleted. -

The difference in vaccination rates looks about in line with the length of time that group has been eligible, with a noted jump at the point they closed half of the initial vaccination centres.
