Hi Paul
your link should rather look like this:

Start TC with 'runas' and set up before a few users with appropriate names, so you can distinguish between the different TCs.AlleyKat wrote:I often get around it by opening Yet Another TC (or 2) for this. And remembering which is which and for what...
I just want to be able to change the first few letters of that titleline so I got something more to go on than [2], [3] etc.

Again you take just one sentence of one of my posts. It's seems to me as if you are not reading carefully. I also wrote that it doesn't make sense to release the program at the current state of this program, because it's written for my personal license to posts screenshots without my real name in the titlebar.
The two lines of code are just FindWindow and SetWindowText. One of the FindWindow parameters includes my name which is probably not equal to yours.
The more important point is it will not permantly replace the titlebar string - just for producing nice screenshots.

Taking just some paragraphs and interprete them the way you like it sounds at least irritating to me.
Beside that it doesn't make sense to continue on this - it's more useful to find a workaround for a quick solution and to convince Mr. Ghisler to take care of user opinions for a permanent solution.
I don't want to say you are (totally) wrong in law interpretation, but the discussion about cracks is offtopic. But I still beleave suggesting crack usage is something that should by avoided!
I still don't understand why people are angry about my obviously funny ment postings. I didn't want to destroy the thread, I just wanted to make it more entertaining for just 2 posts.

@Lefteous:
You insisted that cracking was not legal in Germany because "the laws changed this year" so I posted the "old" laws which are still up to date afaik. I have had much discussions on that matter already and noone could prove me wrong till now so I was really excited to hear some news.
But indeed, this thread is not suited to argue about cracks but it's my only chance to use them 'cause I neither want to use 3rd party apps to fix TC nor do I wanna use stupid tricks like "window moving". I am using TC maximized and have no use for such silly "workarounds". Yeah, I know that you were joking but it's not very helpful to let people trying to argue FOR a desperately needed feature look like some stupid morons asking for something extremely unneeded.
It's ghisler's turn now, page six already...

is so extremely polemical and depreciative that this is the end of the discussion about legal or illegal. What else could I tell you to prove that you are wrong if not the laws? I have no idea, sorry.and interprete them the way you like

I'm not sure if I understood this correctly. You are using a crack, but not wanna use a "3rd party app". Is there a reason why you prefer cracks?But indeed, this thread is not suited to argue about cracks but it's my only chance to use them 'cause I neither want to use 3rd party apps to fix TC nor do I wanna use stupid tricks like "window moving". I am using TC maximized and have no use for such silly "workarounds".
Imagine I had a dozen apps like Total Commander with my registered real name in title bar. Do you think it would be a reasonable solution to run a dozen 3rd party titlebar painters permanently?
Well, for me it's not, sorry. Even one titlebar painter I consider superfluous.
A crack is a 3rd party app, right, but it doesn't waste cpu cycles which result in higher power bills, it doesn't waste space on my desktop, my systray, my taskmanager, whereever. It does its job ONCE and it's all good.
That's a real solution, not a workaround and that's why I prefer a crack.

This could be done by just one "titlebar painter". In addition the described situation is hypothetical, because I don't think you have a dozen of those applications.Imagine I had a dozen apps like Total Commander with my registered real name in title bar.

That's true of course, although I don't think your power bill will increase because of a "caption painter", only if the programm is written really bad.A crack is a 3rd party app, right, but it doesn't waste cpu cycles which result in higher power bills, it doesn't waste space on my desktop, my systray, my taskmanager, whereever.

Remember the crack will change your Totalcmd.exe executable and who knows what it does in addition to change your titlebar or did you write the crack?
Sure, nevertheless it's one app I have no use for 'cause it wastes my resources.This could be done by just one "titlebar painter".
Does that matter? I think one application acting like that is enough, thank God other developers are not that stubborn.In addition the described situation is hypothetical, because I don't think you have a dozen of those applications.
It needs CPU cycles I could save if I wouldn't run the program.although I don't think your power bill will increase because of a "caption painter", only if the programm is written really bad.
There is no perpetuum mobile so it raises the bill, it's not much but it doesn't matter anyway, wasting resources for nothing is not what I like.
Well, I am old enough to take the risk. I have seen some crafted trojans here that aren't detected by any AV app (Kaspersky safe) as long as noone mails them to the AV companies (there is no working heuristic) and of course noone will because it's for "academic use only" so I know that there is no safety when running executables anyway, be it a crack or be it a "virus checked by author" application.Remember the crack will change your Totalcmd.exe executable and who knows what it does in addition to change your titlebar or did you write the crack?

On the contrary; I consider Christian totally open-minded. Not to mention that developers that communicate with users are a rare breed!
I’m not kissing a_s here. A comparison between wish requests in this forum and TC itself can only verify the correctiveness of my aforementioned comment over Christian.

I wanted to post something about the "are there keygenerators" out there or not. It has been mentioned before that there are no keygenerators from a technical point of view. That's true of course, but I don't think that's really important.
Sheepdog mentioned the psychological factor of seeing your name instead of someone elses in the titlebar. But this is exactly what you can achieve using this "key generator patches".
Example: Someone (we call him Carsten Cracker) is sitting in a train. The person sitting next to him is watching him working with Total Commander. "Ah you registered Total Commander there is your Name in the titlebar".
But Carsten Cracker has just applied a "key generator patch" to put his name on the titlebar to make people think "hey he registered Total Commander"...

I agree pdavit. Christian is indeed a good example of a developer who really cares and takes into consideration the opinions of TC's users. I must say here i disagree with him occasionally and i would like to see into TC some of my (and other user's) ideas he has rejected, but he has set his rules on the way he works and i respect them because in general, i like TC very much. After all, we can't have everything in this world...pdavit wrote:Easy there!!!icfu wrote:...thank God other developers are not that stubborn.

Normally using latest TC on:
x32: WinXPx32 SP3 (very rarely nowadays).
x64: Clients/Servers - Win10/Win11 and Win2K16 to Win2K22, mainly Win10 though.

I fully agree, although I disagree here I respect the authors opinion. Some people here on the board don't respect anyone, not even the author, at all. I guess these people are getting very nice emails from the author and other board members.Christian is indeed a good example of a developer who really cares and takes into consideration the opinions of TC's users.

I agree. Some time ago I even suggested to the authors of another indispensable tool of mine that they could start a forum like the Total Commander Forum. This way the user community could share experience and participate in the development process more easily. Unfortunately they replied that they don't have such plans currently.wanderer wrote:I agree pdavit.
