WinPatrol 2013 v26.1.2013 Released

WinPatrol 2013 v26.1.2013 Released
Date: January 4th, 2012

*New* Access Windows 8 Advanced Safe Mode
No matter which version of Windows you use the newest WinPatrol 2013 makes updating worth while. If you've considered upgrading to WinPatrol PLUS this is the version that will make it a great investment.
Using WinPatrol to automatically switch to Desktop mode has been a popular Windows 8 trick in WinPatrol 2013. Details are available if you click here
Our newest version includes enhancements for all versions of Windows and we still found some barely documented tricks that WinPatrol can use to provide features every Windows 8 user should know how to access. The feedback from our last version encouraged updates for all users but also indicated more users had upgraded to Windows 8 then we expected.

What's New?
• Bug fixed in the" First Detected" Date for Active Tasks
• Bug fixed when hidding the Scotty System Tray icon.
• New Option to "Run As Adminstrator" for any programs launched by WinPatrol in Delayed Start list.
• Added Minimize, Maximize buttons as requested by just about everyone for the last 15 years. While not typically used in tabbed windows popular demand encouraged the development of tricks to make it happen.
• Complete update of WinPatrol Help pages. Documentation is included locally and is available on each tab by clicking blue help icon. This feature has been considered essential for new and/or non-expert users. Each help file includes a link to any updated information including better ways to teach WinPatrol based on user feedback.
• On many machines Windows 8 boots so quickly there is no time to press F8 to open Safe Mode. A little known feature to Reboot to a Windows 8 Advanced Repair/Restore mode replaces Windows Safe Mode. This new feature is currently only available in WinPatrol PLUS. Just right-click on any file and select "Restart Windows for Repair in Safe Mode."

Thanks for the heads up!

 

Got it. Thanks hayc59.

 

This feature is not there for me on Win 8 Pro x64 using Plus version of WinPatrol. When right clicking any file, this option is not appearing in the context menu. I have tried reinstalling to no avail. Is this feature working for everyone?

 

Puff Hello
Posted your question at Landzdown and e-mailed Bill
to see if he can stop by..good luck G

 

Thanks buddy! I did not realize he had a forum, gonna go check it out now, learn something new all the time!

and your welcome

Thanks G - you solved my problem! In my quote above I right clicked any file, but in explorer! The part I quoted and had been reviewing did not specify any file "in the WinPatrol GUI". I had assumed it added that to the right click context menu of Windows and wrong I was! Sorry, I think getting old is doing this to me ... I did not even think of doing the right click in the WinPatrol GUI. Please let Bill know I figured it out and it was all my fault, and give him my apologies! He might want to clarify that a bit though for other senile ones out there like me.

 

Thanks for letting me know about the problem, G, although puff-m-d figured out the solution on his own! Bill's post at Rebooting to Windows 8 Safe Mode makes it a bit clearer with the image showing the right-click option from WinPatrol Explorer.

As to the WinPatrol forum at LandzDown, although "unofficial", it is fully "sanctioned" and supported by Bill.

 

Thanks for stopping by Corrine.

I recognize your name from being helpful with WinPatrol for many years... so thank you for that.

It seems that you & Bill are pretty tight. Bill mentioned 'exciting new technologies' or something like that when he last posted here. Do you have an idea if he plans and major changes/upgrades in the product in the coming year?

Thanks.

It took me a little while to get here but I'm thrilled you found a solution. You can always write me directly at support@WinPatrol.com but I'm pleased to know there are enough experts around who still volunteer to help all the folks in need.
Forums like Wilders are great places to get help and also meet new friends.

I'll review some of my text online to be sure the right-click location is clear. I haven't heard of this from anyone else yet but I'm sure you're not alone Puf.

Thanks,
Bill

 

Thank you Bill for heading on over here!
