How to install the portable English version of S-Player in Windows 7 as your non-default movie player :įirst download the file named splayer.7z from the link below this article. Note: Some of the features are a little tricky to find. Some of the extensive list features include: You can install it without setting it as your default player for movies. If, like me, you prefer to remove Windows Media Player from your machine and replace it with better, more functional media players such as VLC media player (for video/movie files) or MediaMonkey (for audio files) then you might also like to take S-Player for a test drive.
It's also extremely light on system resources. S-Player is a capable video and audio player that can play just about any type of movie file. So now you have a nice looking icon that launches an application in Administrator mode... with no prompts whatsoever. The simplest thing to do is just browse down to the application that you are opening with the shortcut... and you should see the icons for the application itself. Now give your shortcut some useful name, and then click next to create it.Īt this point you should have a shortcut that will launch the application in administrator mode.īut you can tweak it a bit more... open up the properties for the shortcut, and then change the Run drop-down to “Minimized” (to hide the schtasks command line utility), and then click on Change Icon. Make sure you enter the task name like this, replacing the capitalized letters for the name of your task. As you can see, I used Run Speedyfox as the name for the task. Now here’s where the real magic happens... we need to add a command that will run the scheduled task, placing in the name of the task that we used. Right-click anywhere on the desktop and choose "New > Shortcut" from the menu. (See screenshot).Īt this point our scheduled tasks setup is done, so you can close out of that if you want… as long as you remember the name that you used for the task.
The only incompatible add on that I found was KeyScrambler (keystroke encryption). Your installed Firefox add ons should also work in Waterfox. Personally I'm happy to run with Java disabled and switch back to Firefox for those sites that require Java.

You also need to install the Java 64 bit plugin if you wish to enable Java in Waterfox. One thing to bear in mind is that Adobe Flash, used on many pages, is only available on the 64-bit browser if you run Windows 7 or later! Their plugin does not support Windows Vista 64-bit. If you haven't optimized Firefox SQLite databases this will also impact on the performance of Waterfox as it shares the same profile. This should be done least once per week or even every few days. Note: In order to prevent a steady decrease in performance Firefox needs to have it's SQLite databases cleaned up from time to time. The advantage of using the portable version rather than going for the full install is - Waterfox will use your existing Firefox bookmarks, profile, plugins and any " about:config tweaks" that you've made to increase speed and privacy.Īlso if you don't like Waterfox - simply delete the folder and all trace is removed. Simply extract the files from the archive to a folder of your choice, browse the folder and create a shortcut to the executable ( waterfox.exe) file or pin it to your start menu or taskbar.
