    I saw none.
    Yes.
    If you mean the "Compressed Folder Tools", they are here. I can see them.
    Yes, with the RedPill Enabler.
    Click on the arrow under "Delete" in the Explorer Ribbon and make a tick at "Recycle Confirmations".
    That's normal in that build.
    For now, you can't unlock the new taskmanager in this build.

    Is it worth it upgrading from 7955 to 7989?

    You're probably in the wrong place to be asking that question. We're mostly new build junkies here.

    "you need to add a Registry Key: HKCU \ .... \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ Advanced : SHSXSWasEnabled 1 (And ofc, RPEnabled 1)."
    But this shsxs breakes almost everything :D

    Crashes here too but I don't know if it's due to wmp itself.
    If you start wmp for the first time you get a config wizzard, and at the end of the wizzard I got an error message that unregmp2.exe couldn't start. Maybe that's why wmp itself won't run. The problem is that I can't get the config wizzard back.

    Build feels slightly faster than 7955 here btw.

    EDIT: wmp crashes are fixed!
    run "unregmp2.exe /SwapTo:64" from admin cmd

    How can the ribbon be unlocked in this build? Adding the registry value like in 7850 and 7955 doesn't work anymore.
    The same goes for glcnd.exe.

    Can you upload the boot process? I am curious to see how fast it is.

    Anyone noticed that when you restart, the login screen says Restarting instead of Shutting down as before? :p

    Quick question. Early in the thread people were referring to the torrent file "the BA one". What does it mean?
