Posted by on Jan 22, 2013 in Blog | 0 comments

As we were tipped by some users (thanks!!) that BETA 2 of our Program lets some “breadcrumbs” on the users’s PCs, I present you a simple fix for this problem: regfix.reg(96 bytes, 149 Downloads) Execute the .reg file with administrator privileges and re-check your right-click menu, the shortcut should be away now.

I remember when I joined the BetterExplorer team about 8-ish months ago. I worked with Dimitar Tsenev, the creator of BetterExplorer, and we talked to each other over e-mail at first, and then through Facebook. As we worked on BetterExplorer, I began seeing comments from users who enjoyed our product, and seeing every single positive note just brought a smile to my face. One such user was...

Beta 2 Released!

It finally was released, and on Christmas Eve of all days. (If you’re in the Christian faith.) We’re all very excited about Beta 2.

He is well-known on the Internet for stealing (ripping off)  open-source code and modifying it (adding in his own credits) plus trying to sell it. ( a search on Google or Yahoo  should give enough proof.) We once sent him a warning...

A Note about Open-Source

Posted by on Nov 8, 2012 in Blog | 2 comments

I thought I might take this opportunity to talk about us and our code, and also something else I feel it pretty important. First of all, after a huge disagreement over licenses, we are now under the Common Development and Distribution License, and it will continue to be our license moving forward. However, I cannot stress enough how much we would like it if you credited us. CDDL does require...
