Is there a way to hide just the nothing found notifications, without hiding all notifications? The nothing found notifications are useless I don't know why I have to see that all the time. It appears I can disable Windows Defender notifications entirely via PC Settings > Search and Apps >...

Yes that's a good point and I do have some copies but I just find previous versions convenient. Thanks for your help I appreciate it.

Do you have one in Windows 8 or are you going by Windows 10? In Windows 8 I don't see one on work laptop or in a VM but that may be because they don't use windows backup or file history (as far as I know). System restore is used on both though and there are restore points.

I tried in a Windows 8 VM and I do not see the previous version tab on files or folders after importing the registry file and rebooting, so it may not work for Windows 8.

I don't. I'll try your add registry file in a VM when I can to confirm.

I don't see the tab. I've restarted all explorer processes. The registry entries might not work for Windows 8.1. Also it looks like Windows won't let me turn on file history without another drive, unfortunately. Thanks for your help though.

I have several system restore points, some that are automatic and one from windows update. Wouldn't they include text files on my desktop? I tried your registry script (as admin: reg import Add_Previous_Versions_to_Properties_and_context_menu.reg) to restore the previous versions tab but I don't...

I notice Windows 8 doesn't have the previous versions tab on files or folders. I found a workaround by searching, \\localhost\c$ to get the previous versions tab. The problem is on everything I've tried there is no previous version. I can see in vssadmin I have some shadow copies so why is it...

Thanks for that information. Though I don't really get what this means: "For verbs that are none implies all". I assume you got that from here because in the comments Windows shell developer Chris Guzak says that. I still don't get it though. I get there are verbs like open etc for shell menus...

What do the explorer shell open variables mean? I notice several variables such as %1 %L %V etc. Like for example the default "open command window here" entry in Windows 8.1 uses cmd.exe /s /k pushd "%V": [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd\command] @="cmd.exe /s /k pushd \"%V\"" I added...

Everything is working fine now on all Win8 systems. I have no idea what happened.

I can't get printing to work in Windows 8 x64 when using Irfanview. I've tried two computers and a virtual machine. I've already written the author about this and he wrote me back: If some of you here use Irfanview could you try to print something from it? Its print dialog doesn't show up for...

Yeah that's the version I'm using. I was unable to reproduce in a virtual machine. I have no idea what's causing it to happen on my laptop. If anyone has an idea please update this thread. I've turned on thread subscription. Thanks

I installed NetMeter for Windows 8 x64 and recently every time it starts NetMeter throws all kinds of access violations to seemingly random addresses. It never used to be like that. It may have started after updates earlier this month. Is there anyone else here who uses NetMeter in Windows 8...

I have recently upgraded one of my computers to Windows 8 Pro x64. I haven't installed much of anything except three versions of Visual Studio, a start button (start menu reviver), a file eraser app (eraser), firefox, winrar, and adobe flash player. Today I ran autoruns to turn off the Eraser...
