[March 25, 2023] v.5.1 High Speed Edition

Significant increase in download speed for large videos (thanks to Dharam for help)

the zip also has a file YouTubeDownloaderHD.ini. so if you blindly unzip, you will lose your 'settings'.

the ini file has a entry AutoCheckUpdates=1 . you may want to set it to zero (manually). not sure how you get to settings from the UI.

Hi,
I use the portable version.
1) Please do not include the fileYouTubeDownloaderHD.ini in the zip. If the user blindly unzipsthe file, he loses the original ini file (and the settings).
I would suggest the program check if the file already exists, if it does not exist then create the default ini file (similar to the one now included in the zip).
2) I noticed AutoCheckUpdates=1 in the inifile. How do I set it to 0 ? I cannot find a settings icon inthe UI.

Hi,
Thanks for feedback!
1. Ok, I updated the portable version.
2. I don’t want to overload GUI with a bunch of options. So you can change ini file with any text editor.

LockDismount v0.3.0.0 Private

Checker on 22 Jun 2013

LockDismount is a small tool that does only one thing (or two to be exactly). It locks and dismounts every volume of a physical drive (HD or UFD for example). That's it!

Unfortunately some older (but still good and useful) programs are not compatible with this new restriction and stopped working. You will usually see an "Access Denied" error message when they try to write to .PhysicalDriveX.

This is where LockDismount can help. By locking and dismounting all volumes it will allow some of these older programs to work again.

It's not the best program on here, but it works well enough. Hopefully someone will find it useful. It doesn't have many configurable options, and those options it does have are only to do with how the volume bar appears on-screen, so the fact it writes a setting to the registry is no big deal for me.

Links seem to be broken.

Emka: updated.

I'm actually glad this situation came up as I'd forgotten all about this program and have the exact sort of setup tproli is talking about: a monitor situation without a simple off button. Saves a lot of time and energy.

Wizzer on 2024-04-29 12:45

Tried it out and it solved my problem of a faulty power button at the front of the monitor. I have a lap-top connected to an external monitor.

The version downloaded (spring 2024) seems to be a portable version from 2009 and it stores settings locally in a configuration file Monoff4.ini.

I made some notes from my experience and information gathered from the web. The information may be useful to other users,

When run, Monoff4.exe puts your monitor into either a "Low Power" mode or a "Power Off" standby mode. Then the application exits.
The mode is determined by the configuration settings.

Monitor re-activation is by a keystroke.
Monitor re-activation can also be by mouse movement, depending on the configuration settings.

### Configuration Settings ###
Settings are stored in the file Monoff4.ini file that is present in the application directory. The configuration entries are in text format.
## To change settings
Press and hold the space bar and and double click on Monoff4.exe.
The configure mode is entered, release the space bar.
Note that settings are saved only if you click on the "Save settings" button.

A Hotkey can be assigned from within the properties tab of the applications's desktop shortcut.
For example:- Cntl Alt F12
