Updated tutorial for RecycleBin Secure Delete
I have a new Windows 11 PC...a significant upgrade from the old Windows 10 machine. In TenForums.com I found the tutorial for how to use SDelete from the Recycle Bin context menu to shred files that are deleted. This tutorial kind of works in Windows 11. The old Windows 10 registry entries to add the command to the context menu are still available, but only if I select "Show more options" from the context menu that is displayed when I right-click on the Recycle Bin icon. I looked through the tutorials on this site for an updated registry changes to add Secure Delete to the primary Win11 context menu, but was unable to find anything. Did I miss something? Having this functionality available from the top context menu would be very useful for me. Thanks,Re: Windows 11 auf nicht unterstützter Hardware installieren
Ich hab letztens mit Rufus probiert, Windows 11 auf nicht unterstützter Hardware installieren zu können – auf meinem alten Lenovo ThinkPad hat’s echt super funktioniert. Kein Registry-Gefrickel, keine Kommandos, einfach klicken und warten. Schritte: Windows 11-ISO laden. Rufus starten, USB-Stick (mind. 8 GB) einstecken. ISO auswählen, dann bei den Optionen die Haken setzen bei „TPM-Anforderung überspringen“ und „CPU-Prüfung überspringen“. Rufus erstellt den Stick automatisch, danach einfach vom Stick booten. Im Setup normal installieren – das System läuft danach ganz sauber. So konnte ich Windows 11 auf nicht unterstützter Hardware installieren, ohne irgendwas riskantes zu tun. Der Vorteil ist echt die Einfachheit: zwei Klicks und fertig. Nachteil: Die Installation dauert etwas länger als ein normales Upgrade. Nicht jedes BIOS erkennt den Stick sofort – manchmal muss man den Boot-Modus manuell ändern. Microsoft garantiert keine zukünftigen Updates auf solcher Hardware. Trotzdem: Für alte, stabile Geräte ist Rufus meiner Meinung nach die entspannteste Methode überhaupt.Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22635.5170 (Beta Channel)

While The Unarchiver app is a popular and user-friendly app for extracting 7-Zip archives on macOS, there are some reasons why you might want to avoid using it for 7-Zip (.7z) files in certain cases. 1. Limited Support for Advanced 7-Zip Features No support for some 7-Zip compression methods: The Unarchiver may struggle with .7z files using LZMA2, BZip2, or PPMd compression. Some archives might fail to extract or produce errors. No encryption (AES-256) support: If the .7z file is password-protected, The Unarchiver might not handle it properly. 2. No Ability to Create .7z Files The Unarchiver is only an extractor—it cannot create .7z archives. If you need to compress files into .7z, you’ll need another tool (like fosszip). 3. Slower Performance on Large Archives The Unarchiver is optimized for simplicity, not speed. For very large .7z files, dedicated tools like Keka or the command-line p7zip may be faster. 4. No Split Archive Support Some .7z files are split into multiple parts (e.g., archive.7z.001, archive.7z.002). The Unarchiver does not automatically combine them. Based on the above facts, please don't use this app to open 7-zip file on macOS. There are many better apps out there!Re: Larger windows explorer Icons

1. Delete the old e-mail account: Open “Settings” > “Accounts” > “Email & Accounts”. Find the old email account and click “Delete”. 2. Clear cache and temporary files: Open “Settings” > “System” > “Storage”. Click “Temporary Files” and select “Delete Files”. 3. Check your synchronization settings: Open “Settings” > “Accounts” > “Synchronize your settings”. Check the synchronization settings to ensure that old email accounts are not included. 4. Use Registry Editor: Press Win + R, type regedit, and press Enter. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\IdentityCRL. Delete the entries associated with the old e-mail account.
