^This!
Jesus, I haven't posted on wm in a while. But I had to.

Welcome to WinMatrix LeeLu. You've made a fantastic program.

Hi all,

Thank you for your reviews on "XP Quick Fix Plus".
A Windows 7 version of Quick Fix is available now at my blog (http://leelusoft.blogspot.com/).
Kelly's Korner is a great site and everybody is using it including me, very good.
LeeLu Soft is a one man show, it is somthing that i do just for fun on my spare time, so to write a 500 fixes tool may take me some time...
But maybe i will do it gradual, a few more fixes in each version, it will be great to have some good suggestions and help for a next version.
The 800 x 600 issue, yes I didn't thought that someone is using that low res, but it turns out that people are still using it for many reasons, it can be fixed on a new version.

o damn 4 feet away - I get your point

Yeah, I know...

I have to have it that way cause my flat panel is approx 4 feet away from where I sit / where the keyboard and mouse is - it's how my desk is configured - it's an old cherry wood "big cheeze's" desk I picked up cause I thought it looked cool - you would have to see it to understand how I have it laid out...

It makes things on the screen a little bigger thus making things a little easier for my almost 40 year old eyes when viewing the screen...

The next thing I am updating is my flat panel, from a 19 inch to a 30 inch - then after that is buy a new and more ergonomic computer desk to go with my new office that I am in the process of building in the basement.

Then I will be able to enjoy the higher def images in more detail!

I'm with you all the way man!
Downloading for possible future use.

Great tool - weird thing is that I have never got any of these problems but all of a sudden today, I got the problem where files and drives would open up the search dialogue thing and the only way to open folders and drives would be to right click the folder/drive and click open. Then I remember reading about this so I quickly tried it out and it instantly fixed the problem

@poolsharkzz

Who uses 800x600 now a days and even 1024x768 is barely used. Why don't you just increase your screen res so you can have more space on your screen and have higher def images

Agree - I have the registry entries to fix most of this on stand by...

Here are a couple of things:

I have my computer display (screen resolution) set at 800 x 600.

When I opened the application, I had to set it at 1024 x 768 in order to see the right-hand side.

Please see attached screen shot...

Is there a way so that the program can automatically detect and use whatever screen resolution the user has currently set?

You should also check out Kelly's Korner - Tips and Tweaks - My thinking was that you could expand on what you have now, so instead of 40 "Quick Fixes" between this site and others that I could direct you to, I bet you could get that number into the 500 range - maybe more?

With that many, you might want to break it down by "Windows Explorer" or "Internet Explorer" or "Hard Drive" or maybe by type of tweak or tip, etc.

I'd also think about taking it to the next level with a "Quick Fixes Plus" for Windows 7 - many have updated already and many more will upgrade in the years to come.

Great little program - I'll keep a copy "just in case"!

Just my 2 cents,

Hmm, yeah.. as zool said, i have already left Windows XP.. well for a long time ago actually =)
