Comments on: HIPSs are no fun https://grey-panther.net/2006/12/hipss-are-no-fun.html Just another WordPress site Thu, 28 Dec 2006 06:33:12 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.1 By: Corrine https://grey-panther.net/2006/12/hipss-are-no-fun.html#comment-891 Thu, 28 Dec 2006 06:33:12 +0000 https://grey-panther.net/?p=985#comment-891 I agree with you that the fix for the destruction caused by Ad-Watch is no picnic. Unfortunately, it has been an issue with Ad-Watch since SE was released in August, 2004.

If a user has Ad-Watch set to “Automatic” + “Lock executable file extensions”, Ad-Watch will indeed lock executable file extensions when installing software. Generally, installing Doug Knox’ file associations isn’t enough but that script seems to do the trick. Appetiser’s script has been successful for countless Ad-Watch users since 2004.

You would think that something that causes damage this serious would have been fixed two years ago.
