Link doesn't work sad

AyushAyushJ Friday, April 20, 2007 11:59:45 PM

It works for me. Here is the direct link. bigsmile

How to install WinChanger, I dont know how, if you can tell me what to do, then I will try it myself, while I will learn how it works. Thanks.

AyushAyushJ Monday, April 30, 2007 3:46:35 AM

Just download the WinChanger.exe file and run the commands.

For example- if you downloaded the WinChanger.exe to your C:\ drive, then you can run it by going to Start-Run-Type:
c:\WinChanger.exe Window-Disable:#ClassShell_TrayWnd
^^ it will disable your Start-Menu button, to enable-Press WindowsKey+R:
c:\WinChanger.exe Window-Enable:#ClassShell_TrayWnd
ENTER!

AVWinfield Monday, April 30, 2007 7:10:23 AM

Yeah, I got it worked, Thanks!

Hello AyushJ !

Thanks a lot for powerfull WinChanger !
Whould you integrate a set size of windows border to it. I'd like zero-sized borders. Especially for Opera !!!

Thanks in advance.

DoveD555 Thursday, May 3, 2007 9:51:43 PM

Or command to just hide windows borders .
Thanks.

DoveD555 Thursday, May 3, 2007 9:54:35 PM

To turn borders off smile.

AyushAyushJ Saturday, May 5, 2007 12:12:18 AM

Can you explain what you want ? Which borders confused

To hide the titlebar- you can run:
WinChanger.exe Window-Title:TITLE,0

O,o WOW! I found you cause you posted to my feedback on the forums. This is the best. I have been using View All Windows, it is nice, and Windows List even nicer... But, from reading what you posted here that is the best.

Oh, I Spotlighted this. I love ANYTHING to do with making windows better.

running the program nothing happens :S

AyushAyushJ Wednesday, July 4, 2007 5:47:32 AM

You have to run the program from command prompt (or start>run) because there is no GUI e.g.
winchanger.exe path Window-Title:Opera,0

WinChanger just calls the Windows API to hide the taskbar so I can't do much about it sad That's how Windows works..

It will be really great too, because of high popularity of Linux now...

EmanueleEngelium Thursday, May 28, 2009 12:23:20 PM

Hi

I've just discovered your great tool up

However It seems having some lack... infact it works only with the windows opened at the time you execute it but it doesn't affect any other windows you open after ... an action that who (like me) browses hundred pages have to perform very often...

So... is there any way to keep WinChanger "in background" so it can catch every window that suits with a certain rule? (e.g. Opera)

Tanks a lot smile


EDIT:
also... I've just noticed that WinChanger interact ONLY with one window of the chosen application (generally the latest active) ... so if you have multiple windows of Opera or even the Explorer with a folder named Opera this tool doesn't properly work

gdveggie Friday, August 28, 2009 6:21:48 PM

Is WinChanger available to download somewhere? The http://snipurl.com/WinChanger link above seems to be dead.

Chileantulba2 Friday, October 21, 2011 5:04:45 PM

I've never really uploaded a lot to help others, so here is finally my 1 cent.
I needed WinChanger and got here, but the link is dead.
Found it later on my PC(Everything.exe rocks).
So here it is:
