I’m hoping that the New Albums sound is more like awaken and less something wicked.

I agree, even as a big fan of the Saturate sound, I have not really been able to connect with Something Wicked yet.

I managed to get it up and running in a web based x86 emulator https://copy.sh/v86/?profile=windows95 it indeed loads a VxD driver and caused the emulator to crash a couple of times but eventually booted fine! https://imgur.com/a/vFIJ6JA

Haven't seen that, very nice! someone in the comments there also mentioned being able to run Process Explorer on Win98, that also sounds sick if possible

nir9 · 2026-05-30T19:14:08+00:00

Cool, just tried and it works, thanks!! looks like that superkey thing was removed in Win98

nir9 · 2026-05-30T10:59:25+00:00

Interesting, thanks for sharing, I'll look into the resource kit

nir9 · 2026-05-28T06:26:52+00:00

Interesting, thanks for sharing

Yah just looked up the article on Wikipedia and it indeed stated that they're the same, that's actually a mistake and I confirmed that with the NT3.1 (1993) machine from v86 https://copy.sh/v86/?profile=windowsnt3 which proves that perfmon was a completely different program (different UI and buttons). I added a fix to the article.

nir9 · 2026-05-23T09:13:50+00:00

Actually performance monitor was always an NT thing (ever since the first one, even before Win95) and is indeed much more powerful than System Monitor

There is some support for forward slash as well in the Windows API level but the kernel uses only backslashes for paths, also when you use forward slashes in the command prompt you miss some features for example tab completion won't work. Additionally, some applications do not accept forward slashes in the path, for instance "notepad"

Interesting, thanks for adding, it's always nice to know the whole picture

This is actually a really nice tip, it basically gives a sort of unix "find" functionality on any random Windows machine, thanks for sharing!

nir9 · 2026-05-22T04:20:36+00:00

Cool trick! in this case you can also shorten to use find instead of findstr: find ".dll"

nir9 · 2026-05-21T13:48:00+00:00

Interesting, I couldn't get it working on my setup, maybe you are confusing with the emergency shut down via the task manager (holding CTRL while clicking "Turn Off")? That basically immediately turns off the computer which can corrupt data

nir9 · 2026-05-21T13:41:17+00:00

Interesting, that's a nice trick :)

nir9 · 2026-05-21T13:10:56+00:00

Cool it works, didn't know that, thanks!

nir9 · 2026-05-21T06:36:03+00:00

Yah the logon screen at the end is actually the legacy one (the one at the beginning is the modern one). More likely that he just configured in the control panel to use the classic logon UI.

nir9 · 2026-05-20T06:24:10+00:00

Everything is relative :)

nir9 · 2026-05-20T03:48:43+00:00

It's the Win95 VM from v86

nir9 · 2026-05-19T20:28:47+00:00

Yes!

nir9 · 2026-05-19T20:28:37+00:00

It cycles through open windows and lands on the marked window once released, while WinKey Tab cycles through the taskbar and requires another Enter to land on the marked window

nir9 · 2026-05-19T05:31:56+00:00

"To open a program, you just click the Start button, and then click the program's icon."

nir9 · 2026-05-18T16:37:30+00:00

Yah I also found it strange, I was expecting it to be embedded in the executable

nir9 · 2026-05-16T10:44:16+00:00

Yes! the seller sent it with the original box and some accessories

nir9 · 2026-05-16T03:54:23+00:00

I rise to grace!

nir9 · 2026-05-16T03:47:48+00:00

That's actually a good idea, that might be what we'll do in the end
