![]() ![]() Of course that is not supposed to happen but we all know how real life works. In the end, I disable nearly every “improvement” Microsoft offers, and check “metered connection” to prevent it’s downloads from happening in the middle of mastering a single for a customer. Anything more than that is a distraction and I can honestly say, totally ignored and certainly a distraction making me wish I wasn’t on outlook. I want a far simpler interface with basic editing function and attachments. If it were up to me they would go the opposite direction as a software company. Broadly speaking, to predict the manner in which I prefer to speak would require far more resources than they would ever allocate. Imagination is not their strong suit – no offense to creative programmers intended. Predictive text, if used, limits the conversation to a box only as big as a programmers imagination and literary ambition. Unfortunately, it seems to me that the programmers job is made simpler when the human conversation is simpler. ![]() Weirdly, if it is in the “recent” list, it will attach without complaint.Īdd onto this the horrible, cluttered interface in Outlook these days (so much white space and other huge elements) that make e-mail navigation a pain on a small screen and I can’t help think that fixing basic issues like these and improving the accessibility of the programs should be a far higher priority than a feature which 99% of people will probably just disable. Thus forcing me to close the spreadsheet, attach it, then re-open it again. I’m also sick of the recent bug in Outlook that won’t let you attach a document to an e-mail if it is open in another window. Quite why the server processing seems to share the same thread as the UI is beyond me. Outlook still loves to hang for several seconds at a time if there’s any issue accessing a mailbox (particularly a problem if you have several mailboxes open, or if your VPN connection temporarily drops). You can download the portable Process Explorer from the official SysInternals website.Īm I the only one that wishes that MS would instead focus on fixing some of the more glaring issues with their software before implementing silly new gimmicks like this? Please note that you may need to run Process Explorer with administrative privileges if you want to make use of the Explore feature launching the Windows Registry Editor. Process Explorer does not help you here, but it should not be that much of a problem to launch the Services management window to manage the services in there. Sometimes though you may want to make the modifications elsewhere, for instance if the process is launched by a service starting with the operating system. From there it is only a matter of seconds to disable an autostart entry or make modifications to it. The first one next to Path opens the folder the file is stored in in Windows Explorer, the second the autostart location in the Windows Registry. Locate the two Explore buttons of the Image tab. Here you see detailed information about the selected process. You can alternatively right-click the line and select Properties from the context menu. Select a process that you are interested in and tap on the enter key to display its properties window. While you could certainly open the Windows Registry Editor manually now to check up on the start up entry, you can do so directly from within Process Explorer as well. Having the information displayed to you is however only one part of the service that Process Explorer makes available. All processes listed with an entry in the column are launched during system boot. The autostart location column is listed at the rightmost location and you usually need to expand its width to make it usable. If you want, you can add other columns to Process Explorer as well.Locate Autostart Location and check it.Right-click on the header bar and click on Select Columns in this menu.The listing is not enabled by default, so let me show you how to add the column in the program. Please note that I have moved the autostart location column to the very left for purposes of creating the screenshot. The Task Manager replacement ships with a new autostart column that reveals if a process is automatically started during system boot, and where the information about its autostart are located. Another option has just been added to SysInternal's excellent Process Explorer. I could fire up Autoruns to see if that process is automatically started with the system. The Windows Task Manager does not reveal those information, and while I could try and figure that out by myself, it usually takes some digging through menus and programs to do just that. ![]()
