I had a stubborn program remnant (after a system restore, windows 11). Setup woudln't continue until I uninstalled it. No files on disk. Nothing in system32 or hosts. Nothing in the registry (UFS Explorer Recovery Pro 8.2). Ever tried searching the registry on UFS? Sigh.
Registry cleaning with Wise Registry Cleaner? Nothing. iobit uninstaller? Nothing. Martau below? Nothing.
But RevoUninstaller's log based removal tool actually removed whatever the frack was bugging the setup. When on Windows 11, do keep an eye on folder protected actions and give access where requested (Defender).

Advantage? No nagging popups - the amount of licenses my friends bought because they thought that was what I wanted... ;-( Sigh!

1. for local files (disk to disk or usb)
2. for network locationsQuote5. Copying Files and Folders
Copying files and folders still is a complicated thing on Windows, especially when the source has damaged sectors. Even when the disk is fine, you need extra tools if you prepare to copy a lot of files (and bypass antivirus checks on each and every file...!).
Raymond has a great list to chose from. You will want speed both locally and over the network, but you'll also want file verification and support for bad sectors (= unreadable parts on the hard disk, usually only for non-SSD magnetic disks) too.
These are my choices:
* TeraCopy: http://www.codesector.com/teracopy
* RoadKill's Unstoppable Copier: http://www.roadkil.net/downloads.php
* FastCopy: https://ipmsg.org/tools/fastcopy.html.en
* RichCopy: https://www.softpedia.com/get/System/File-Management/Microsoft-RichCopy.shtml#download (hoffmanutilityspotlight2009_04.exe)
And of course, I should also mention RoboCopy and its clones... Should... ;p

Raymond has a great list to chose from. And you can find a more recent overview here. You will want speed both locally and over the network, but you'll also want file verification and support for bad sectors (= unreadable parts on the hard disk, usually only for non-SSD magnetic disks) too. That said, for local files I stick to FastCopy these days... Still have to pick a network copier.

Unlocker 1.9.2 *used* to be the best program to unlock files. Sadly, they aren't doing a good job since Windows 8.x/10. So without a lot of testing, here are some tools that should do a proper job on Windows 10...Peace!

An unverified list of 4 audio rippers that support FLAC, MP3 and artwork + tags. Most will support volume normalization too.

- Ad Muncher. It was the *only* ad blocker that meets my high standards! And it even became free! Download: http://staging.admuncher.com/beta.shtml or mirrors here http://www.download3k.com/Install-Ad-Muncher.html . Sadly, development has stopped and the filters aren't updated any longer nor are HTTPS connections supported.
IMPORTANT: multi-user systems! Install AM for each user to it's own program files directory. Also, tick the correct options so each user has his or her own settings. Otherwise, AM will only start for the first account logging in.
Install it as the absolute bare minimum if you have a friend that really doesn't know how to work with a computer. As said, other ad blockers occasionally cause problems with a website: one has to know what to do when that happens (either, try another browser or trouble-shoot the ad-blockers)
While it still does some things, development (including filters) stopped years ago. Time to say goodbye
Goodbye AdMuncher! I miss you every day.
