Re: AutoRun LWMenu

Bear with me: Haven't used it yet but I'm just wondering here if there's any way to run LWMenu without it showing its UI, only executing launching directives (kinda like yaP does)?

Re: Kodak Imaging (Win95 and later)

FWIW and in its heyday, OmniPage was one of the best (if not outright best) OCR toolsets. I used it often for its ease and quality.

Re: Win11 not running on older PCs

IMHO and rather more simplistically, MS' strategy is aimed at one goal: user lock-in (and the underlying data-extraction mana from the general -- and generally less tech-savvy -- public). :roll: E.g., on a global stage, China has been extricating itself from their grip and there's no way that is any...
