Changelog for Incipitor Version 1.1

• New: Now you can edit the names of the folders in the folder window
• New: All Settings are now saved and put into effect when you push the Save Settings button which has been added to the Settings tab.  (in the previous version, some would save immediately, others required to restart the program or re-open the window)
• New: Added icons to the buttons and to the folder tree (everyone loves eye-candy, no?)
• Changed: Moved the program name, version and icon to the Info tab so it is less clutter on the main window.
• Changed: Removed the “Creating Settings file” notice when you run Incipitor for the first time.
• Fixed: Custom icon path is now saved
• Fixed: Version info was missing in the executable for version 1.0

A new program for all my fans.  Incipitor – (Latin for “one that starts”) is a handy, dandy little tool for adding shortcuts to your Windows Start Menu.

It’s great on Windows 7, but not so useful on Windows 10 unless you use Open Shell to change the menu.

Visit the downloads page for Incipitor.

Visit the Incipitor NANY 2021 thread for discussion.

• Fixed: Network info will now ignore network interfaces without ipaddresses (such as bluetooth interfaces)
• Changed: Window Info’s nic is changed to adapter. A NIC is hardware. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Please note:  Systemus will set off your anti-virus.  I swear it’s not a Trojan – but, well, there you are.  If I ever figure out why it gets flagged as a virus, maybe I’ll be able to do something about it.  Or, maybe, if enough people use this, then maybe it will get re-classified as safe.

• New: Custom Tokens
• New: Window Info can display the Dell Serial Number and the Dell Express Service Code. See Window Info.
• New: Window Info: WINS Servers, DHCP Server. See Window Info.
• New: Added Resource Monitor to System > Varia > Resource Monitor in Default Config.
• New: Added new icons!
• New: Command: RecycleBin. Added to Dirs > Recycle Bin in Default Config.

• New: File > Edit Configuration ini now gives the Configuration’s name.
  Fixed: Issue where the first menu ini file was skipped, resulting in a missing menu
• Fixed: Wrong icon for File > Edit Config Ini

Just a tiny update to overcome an error that might happen trying to diagnose network settings.

Notice: Version 1.2 had a function which gave the user the ability to clear the memory cache.  I have removed this because it was setting off Antivirus as being a Trojan.  Sorry to disappoint on that score!

There are still some issues with the RUN box, and still no documentation on how to use it properly. I have to work on this part.
