you know I got some torrent files that start to exceed the limit on filenames. I wonder if those are doing something similar. I just assumed newer versions of windows are just running shittier script shells on top of old Windows 7 architecture, but maybe that’s worth looking into

but I would guess there are some wide differences between Server 2022 and a consumer Windows build. A lot of effort seemed to get put into transparency visual effects and window transitions. Maybe this is just my bias but I think industry applications are little better stress tested and optimized for things like file management

sheesh, all in one go? I can’t get through 1 tb with it even before I start doing hairbrained shit like in my post. on a private machine, with 16gb. I assume that system is on 11?

I’ve used that method too. switched to using cmd because the GUI has crashed before while making changes to large amounts of data. with more recent versions of windows the more unstable it seems to get.

the perfect space saver

FR, like I know why Microsoft started wrestling away control from end users but dammit I NEED those priveledges for myself

You can log in as trustedinstaller???

do you mean like accessing your files in the 7zip interface? I hadn’t thought of using that for anything besides zipping. that’s clever

another comment caught it too, the correct syntax is “takeown /F”.

oh god not the UAC 🤮 so I use a lot of software that needs to be able to handle files too and some that gets temperamental with things that mess with full screen. I get what UAC is for but for my daily use it’s basically a rake for me to step on

honestly if I install a malware at this point I kind of deserve what happens.

it is wrong, I butchered it

in retrospect that’s actually a way better method. do you use the one from winearo? they strike me as untrustworthy but that is 100% based on vibes.

shit, I meant /F.

they say it does. the consequences have yet to reveal themselves to me

takes ownership of the C disk in windows and gives administrators full priveledges for program files. by default they belong to “trustedinstaller” which bars you from using a lot of your own computer, even if you make an admin account.

ooh yeah. my live account is kind of the only reason I still fuck with Microsoft at all. email sweep function and those spam filters have made a lot of headache almost worth it. I’m using tuta on the side now but I can’t tell yet if its spam filtering will be as good

oh wait. yeah, look I’m not a smart man

Why would somebody only target machines in Turkey?
