Dear endeavor!
My apologies for keep silence for a long time – actually it's not a silence at all: I just wrote everything yesterday, but Your session timer threw me out of site silently, so I press submit button and voila – everything gone and reauth page appeared. You guys should to make something for some kind of autosave current message input, it’s not a twitter, it’s a forum in the end.
So, I’ll try to answer for a couple of Your question
1.Your point of view to registry is, let’s say, excessive simple J. Yes, You’re right, global settings are stored in HKLM section and local settings are stored in HKCU. But these things are not equivalent, I mean HKCU is NOT a mirror of HKLM for current user, so Your sentence about “no HKCU should be supplied in our reg file, nor should it be” is completely wrong. I did a pair of investigations J, as You can see for a bunch of “Windows Registry Editor…” titles, and found a better integration to the system when HKCU is included.
2.Yes, You’re right, so many of those titles not needed, but it wasn’t a public project, but a private, so beauty of file was a last thing I thought about.
3.About Calendar. Yes, that topic is quite old and You can imagine, I’m not a big lover of calendar programs too, but You can dig deeper and Googling will help You. Net is full of same WRONG suggestions of WRONG procedure of initializing Calendar in Win7/Win8. The result is non-working notifications. So, who needs calendar app which tells You nothing? Again, I’m too lazy to show right way in “any way” mode. If somebody will show interest, I’ll did it, if not – OK, I’ll have a lot less problems J
4.About reasons why Mail stops working on a regular basis. You point of view suffers of excessive simplicity too. Oh, yeah, You’re right, when update changes msoe.dll for the new one, it stops functioning. In theory J. M$ stopped support of WinMail ages ago, remember? So who cares about new versions of msoe.dll? The REAL reason for problem is start of system self-check when it find “wrong” dll and substitute is “right” dll out of cache. So only thing You need for stopping that annoying manner is throwing link to desired dll out of cache. Actually somebody (I think, it was guy Poppa Bear from this forum) did it for Windows 7 x86, but nobody before me did it for x64, that’s why Win 7 x86 works and x64 has magic problems out of the blue. Window 8.1 appeared to be more complex: at first, they need to do all things from above for every file in Windows Mail folder, and at second, that files are localized. So, I did everything for Russian OS, but English OS is different and my humanism isn’t so big for downloading and installing two Os’s - x86 and x64 (again, there are DIFFERENT tweaks for them), that’s why I asked for beta-testing. Again: guys, if You don’t needed – it’s OK, I’ll have a lot less problems in my life J.
Please, don’t think of me as a total politically incorrect person, but I haven’t any interest of wide discussion of what I did, why I did and why I’m not so smart as I imagine (joke of course). Let me repeat: I started tweaks for both win7 & win8.1 on Christmas holidays and everything works flawlessly until today with all those updates for half of year. What more You’re need please?
And about Take ownership/Remove ownership. You misunderstood me: I don’t think it’s wrong or bad utility, I think You use it (or You teach other peeps to be more precise) in wrong and bad way. Take ownership catch system rights for the object, but Remove ownership doesn’t revert it, it’s just remove it from the context. But system rights are serious part of NTFS system and You shouldn’t change them for every case. For simpliest example let’s look on that Calendar program: wrong rights totally destroy its functioning. I want to be understood clearly: for Windows Mail it’s not problem, so it’s nothing wrong to use it here, but it happend occusionaly. I think it’s not bad idea to show peeps right way, I mean manual take ownership of msoe.dll exclusively -> replace dll -> restore rights for new dll manually. It’s not needed for Mail, but You’ll teach people for right manipulating with system files, when OS “thinks” nothing happened at all.
