DeskRealm v0.5.8
DeskRealm v0.5.8 👉 Give each Windows virtual desktop its own real Desktop folder, icon layout and hotkeys. DeskRealm turns Windows virtual desktops into separate Desktop “realms,” each with its own Desktop folder, icon layout and optional direct hotkeys. Instead of every Win + Tab workspace showing the same desktop clutter, DeskRealm redirects the current user’s Windows Desktop Known Folder to the folder assigned to the active virtual desktop. Features: • Assigns separate Desktop folders to Windows virtual desktops • Synchronizes realm folder names with Windows Task View desktop names • Saves and restores per-realm Desktop icon layouts • Automatic icon layout autosave with change detection • Configurable global hotkeys for jumping to numbered desktops • Tray menu with status, refresh, sync, pause/resume, logs, config and restore options • Optional startup with Windows • Preserves the original Desktop folder instead of moving files during onboarding • Refuses OneDrive Desktop redirection by default • Refuses duplicate virtual desktop names and unsafe folder conflicts • Includes emergency restore script for returning the original Desktop path • Portable ZIP and install-bundle release options Supported operating systems: • Windows 10, Windows 11 Supported languages: English Changes: v0.5.8 06-12-26 Fixed: • Reworked first-run onboarding so DeskRealm no longer moves files from the original Windows Desktop into a managed realm folder. • The selected virtual desktop realm now points directly to the original Desktop folder, preserving the normal Desktop when DeskRealm is closed or disabled. • Added absolute-path realm assignments so a realm can safely use an existing external folder such as the original Desktop. • Prevented duplicate assignment of the original Desktop path to multiple virtual desktops. Changed: • The first-run wizard now describes the safe association model instead of file migration. • Config migration v6 disables the legacy initialDesktopImportMoveFiles flag. • Documentation, installation notes, safety notes and release process now describe the no-move onboarding model. Safety: • DeskRealm must not silently move user Desktop files during onboarding. Existing files remain in the original Desktop folder. ...

Link Shell Extension 32bit v3.9.2.9
Link Shell Extension 32bit v3.9.2.9 The NTFS file system implemented in NT4, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows XP64, and Windows7/8/10 supports a facility known as hard links (referred to herein as Hardlinks). Hardlinks provide the ability to keep a single copy of a file yet have it appear in multiple folders (directories). They can be created with the POSIX command ln included in the Windows Resource Kit, the fsutil command utility included in Windows XP or my command line ln.exe utility Thus, using standard Windows facilities Hardlinks can only be created at the command prompt, which can be tedious, especially when Hardlinks to multiple files are required or when one only makes occasional use of Hardlinks. Support for Junctions in standard Microsoft software offerings is even more limited than that offered for Hardlinks. Link Shell Extension (LSE) provides for the creation of Hardlinks , Junctions , Volume Mountpoints , and Windows7/8's Symbolic Links, (herein referred to collectively as Links) a folder cloning process that utilises Hardlinks or Symbolic Links and a copy process taking care of Junctions, Symbolic Links, and Hardlinks. LSE, as its name implies is implemented as a Shell extension and is accessed from Windows Explorer, or similar file/folder managers. The extension allows the user to select one or many files or folders, then using the mouse, complete the creation of the required Links - Hardlinks, Junctions or Symbolic Links or in the case of folders to create Clones consisting of Hard or Symbolic Links. LSE is supported on all Windows versions that support NTFS version 5.0 or later, including Windows XP64 and Windows7/8/10. Hardlinks, Junctions and Symbolic Links are NOT supported on FAT file systems, and nor is the Cloning and Smart Copy process supported on FAT file systems. Within this document ...
