Yes and no. I tried sendkeys f5 (powershell console steals focus). I tried minimize console window, then refresh, didn't work. (explorer still had no focus), think it refreshed my 'taskbar'.

Then I tried this, but no go, focus. Explorer blinked but did not refresh fully, I think again focus issue.

great script and great options, one issue though is it is not adding the power menu icons to dropdown. im using win 8.

EDIT: Rebooting PC fixed it. Thank again for a cool script!

try restarting your pc that seems to have fixed it for the other person who had that issue, could try restarting explorer first

Wrote a kludge to fix this refresh issue, seems to be working even from special folders.

$check = (Get-ItemProperty -Path 'registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced' -Name 'HideFileExt').HideFileExt;if ($check -eq 0){Set-ItemProperty -Path 'registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced' -Name 'HideFileExt' -Value 1} else {Set-ItemProperty -Path 'registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced' -Name 'HideFileExt' -Value 0}

$app = New-Object -com shell.application
$a = $app.Windows() | where {$_.fullname -match "explorer.exe"} | foreach {$_.LocationURL}
$a = $a | foreach {$_ -Replace "file:///",""}
$a = $a | foreach {$_ -Replace "/","\"}
$a = $a | foreach {$_ -Replace "%20"," "}

$a

$u = gc env:username
Foreach ($c in $a) {

$b = Split-Path -Leaf -Path $c

switch ($b) {
Desktop {
$c = "Desktop"
}
"$u" {
$c = $u
}
Libraries {
$c = "Libraries"
}
default {

}
}

[void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName('Microsoft.VisualBasic');
[Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction]::AppActivate("$c");
Start-Sleep -m 300
[void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName('System.Windows.Forms');
[System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys]::SendWait("{F5}");
Start-Sleep -m 100
}

Haven't programmed in the rest of the special folders (downloads, music, pictures, etc), but it's a start.

EDIT: Here it is swapped into the FE-Tools key in case you want to test it out.

Missing Icons...

Just installed, and I too am having trouble with icons not properly displaying. I've tried restarting explorer...no help...and rebooting PC several times, and also shutting down...waiting a bit, then restarting...same issue. See screenshot.

BTW...I'm on a new MS Surface 2 Pro...for what that's worth.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] ckpv5:
Had the same issue on my PC running Win8.1.

What I did to solve the missing icons is copied the icons from \Tools_Menu v0.4\Files\Pow to C:\Windows and restart PC. All icons are there.

Script needing updating

Your script needs updating

:pow2
cd /d %~dp0
REGEDIT /s Files\Reg\Install_Epo.reg
xcopy Files\Epo C:\Windows
echo Done installing. Have a ****ed day.
pause
exit

Should read:

:pow2
cd /d %~dp0
REGEDIT /s Files\Reg\Install_Epo.reg
xcopy Files\Epo C:\Windows
xcopy Files\Pow C:\Windows
echo Done installing. Have a ****ed day.
pause
exit

Or you should put all the power icons into one folder.

You made a small mistake in Hidden_Files.vbs. If the user click "Hidden Files" in the context menu, it doesn't show SuperHidden files as the Reg variable is always set to 0

If Check = 2 Then
Command1.RegWrite Hidden, 1, "REG_DWORD"
Command1.RegWrite SSHidden, [B][COLOR="Red"][SIZE="5"]0[/SIZE][/COLOR][/B], "REG_DWORD" [B][COLOR="Green"][SIZE="5"]<-- Replace 0 by a 1[/SIZE][/COLOR][/B]

i didnt make that script but i made the changes

i thought about it but i didnt want it under the the folder i may just toss the file in there for people who want it

hybrid was left out intentionally.

sorry for lack of response, i have been busy with other crap and i never really expected anyone to use this. i uploaded a new ver with the fixes and tossed in a folder with take ownership( i may add it to the actual script down the line)

[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] pbanj:
-_- that error only comes up when you don't follow the readme............. By you getting that error you are not following the first step. The only way that message shows up is if it fails the check to see if its run as admin.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
You know dude, I appreciate the ability of noobs to screw things up more than most people on this forum, but have you considered the possibility that, when somebody explicitly tells you that they are running the script as Admin they are, in fact, running the script as Admin?

Your attitude is remarkably and unwarrantedly arrogant. In this particular case, the problem was easy to find: you use APIs in your VBScripts that Windows RT disallows unless the scripts are signed (or the OS is jailbroken). However, you never mention that your tools won't work on RT unless it's jailbroken, and since it's "just" scripts, many people will (more-or-less accurately) assume that the tools should be usable on Windows RT. However, rather than providing useful error messages when a problem occurs, you assume any failure of your perfect script is obviously just due to user error!

Oh, and as a side note: you can have a script automatically request elevated privileges. Rather than giving a snarky error message, and telling people to read the help files, why not just automatically request the required privileges?
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] pbanj:
I know its far from perfect. Did I say its perfect? Nope, hell I have even thanked people and credited the people who noticed errors. when did I ever state that it works on windows rt? I didnt.

If u read the thread u would see I didn't make the vb scripts(think I say that more then once) hell in the script it say where I got the vb scripts. I made the reg files and the bat file. I put the snarky comments in the script as I found them funny(says that in the main post).

I don't have patients for people who don't read readmes(they are there for a reason) hence why its like it is. When someone Tells u they are getting an error that is there to see if people read the readme ya I'm going to get a bit annoyed. I will put in the main post about needing to be jailbroken to use it on rt.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
My point was that the initial bug report *explicitly* said that the script was being run as Administrator... and you either just ignored that part or assumed they were lying. Not cool. Then you make it worse by refusing to acknowledge simple facts even when the person politely points out that they have, in fact, read and followed the readme, and again accuse them of not doing so. The "perfect" comment came from your astonishingly arrogant comment

. Not "Hmm, that error message is supposed to mean something in the check for Admin failed" or "that's weird; if you run it as Admin you shouldn't ever see that error". Nope, just "there's only one thing that could cause that (because the code can't possibly have bugs, right?), so it's your fault". You claim you never said it was compatible with RT (this is true, and indeed your earlier versions that had executables in them wouldn't have been without additional hacks) but you never said what it *was* compatible with, nor did you say "well, I never tested it on RT, so maybe that's why you're getting the error?" or something similar.

Anyhow, peace offering: I can help re-write those scripts so that they work on RT without jailbreaking. There's a standard command-line tool built into nearly all versions of Windows, including RT, called "reg.exe". You can call it just fine from BAT/CMD files, which will work on RT (I've used this trick myself, way back when RT was brand new). Run "reg /?" for usage information. As an example, I'm attaching a script (renamed to .txt so I can attach it here; just remove that part) that implements the hidden-files registry toggle in a way compatible with Windows RT.

The take ownership is not fully working on my non-english machine. The first part works, i.e. takeown.exe does take ownership, but the icacls.exe portion fails and "Administrators" group does not get granted FULL permissions.

This fixes that issue via the SID reference. Works on all machines, but only needed for non-english locales. The cause is a spelling issue with "Administrators" being spelled differently in other languages.

Greetings!

I ordered a HTC One from a friend who lives in the UK. It's unlocked and my sim works in it just fine. In booting a vodafone animation is displayed. When I tried the cyanogenmod installer, it said that I have an unsupported device?!

I really want to install cyanogenmod on it, since I did upgrade from a Galaxy Note which was rooted and running cyanogenmod.

Any help regarding the process for rooting and installing cyanogenmod on the HTC One that I have would be greatly appreciated.

It's completely stock right now, running android version 4.3, sense version 5.5. I will include some screenshots too.

I have the Verizon Note 10.1, but am using it with T-Mobile on the $30/month unlimited text/data throttled after 5GB plan with 100 minutes. It's much better than paying $30/month for 2GB with Verizon, but... T-Mobile does include calls and texts, and they're going to waste. Anyone know a way to enable calling and texting over the T-Mobile network? I know the international version supports this.

[Moto X Q&A] mercado79:
I've never seen this issue before, and now I've run into it twice since updating to Kit Kat, rooting, and setting up my VZ Moto X.

Honestly, I don't have much info to share. I had just gotten done setting up my phone. Froze some VZ apps (this might be it, maybe) though nothing crazy..Navigator for one, then rebooted. No problems.

Did some more updating, installed Delayed Lock and GSAM Battery monitor (which is broken in 4.4 for now, I know) and rebooted again. One final time before I planned to do a full backup of all apps using Titanium.

It boots up fine, boot animations (both Moto globe and VZ logo) and then goes black. Now it's sitting on my desk, screen flashing every 15 seconds or so. The time is accurate and updating. Battery icon comes and goes, but it's not dead. Network shows no bars. It's basically just the status bar and the bottom nav icons. Adb isn't recognized, though it does show up under fastboot.

The worst part is that this happened to me last night. I was at the Pats game. Battery was running low and I was trying to record the last play of the game. Battery ran out and the phone shut down. I tried to start it back up and it died on me again. After getting home and charging it to full, it did what I described above.

I really hope it's not time to do a full reset via fastboot as that's what I had to do this morning. Any ideas? I tried clearing cache via fastboot too. No luck. Anyone ever see this before?

******EDIT******

I've discovered what causes this issue, for me at least. It is the combination of "improper" shutdown methods in use by some apps (Titanium Backup, Quick Reboot, SafeStrap, and others I'm sure) and the use of Delayed Lock. Basically, Delayed Lock takes control of certain system files in order to disable the pin/password/pattern lock. If the system shuts down correctly, it hands control back to system. If the phone doesn't hand over control (the phone cuts out without proper notification due to the battery dying or caused by the way an app handles rebooting), the phone hangs up on the next boot. I made a video and uploaded it here.

http://youtu.be/CRtmUAv3PLk

Also of note, rebooting using the Advanced Power Menu option within Gravitybox (the Xposed Framework module) works just fine. All of the options except for "Soft Reboot".

See more in the Delayed Lock support thread (starting at post 654):

Hi. I'm korean z1 user.

Today, I tried to rooting my phone z1(c6903).

Rooting is success. However my phone is dead now.

Dead mean is...

Boot is ok. But this error popup has occur again.

"Unfortunately System UI has stopped."

I tried this step.

1. Install Oficial FTF for Firmware 14.1.G.1.534 Using Flashtool

2. Root my phone Using VRoot.

3. Backup TA Partition.

4. Copy the ROM to External SDCard.

5. Install Dual Recovery for LB.

6. Reboot into Recovery.

7. Make Sure to do a Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Wipe Cache and Wipe Dalvik Cache.

This far is ok. But can't access External SDCard.

So, I try this step.

1. Install Oficial FTF for Firmware 14.1.G.1.257 Using Flashtool

2. Power On

After that time my phone is boot ok. However following a this message.

"Unfortunately System UI has stopped."

This far after I try to Install Official FTF for Firmware 1.41.G.1.526, 534, 257....

But all firmware is can't working!

And I try to recovery by Sony Update Service and PC Companion.

Also can't working...

How can i fix my phone? plz help.

Thank you for giving me your time.
