10:00 the Dialer is actually for dialing an ISP with a 56k modem, I think it originated in Windows 95, that's why it still has a Windows 95-style icon. In Windows XP the dialer was slightly different, I think in that era most modems were softmodems which allowed normal voice calls, and so the dialer in XP was changed to allow for that. It also supported internet calls using the H.323 protocol.

1:21 It actually does matter. You see, most fonts discard those as control characters so give them no spacing and that’s why it looks weird later in the video.
which codes should I use that aren't already taken?
im sorry but every time i see the phrase "you see", i always think of dhar mann
About private character editor: it's actually used a lot in China (and likely also Japan) in old days. Basically, older standards/fonts doesn't include lesser known characters (and even today, it's basically still possible to get into needing a character that isn't even in the newest Unicode revision). Build one using private character editor is the easiest way to just get the thing printed, not the best solution but the fastest.
As for how to type them, Windows has a kinda hidden feature that you can hold alt and type the Unicode code in decimal using the keypad, release the alt key and there you go. It's good for if you need a specific Unicode character a lot, but that's a rather niche usage. Alternatively it can be for producing printed instruction so that those who follow the instruction can get the specific Unicode character without having to find one online to copy from.
I like the program in there that can create an executable installer. It's kinda neat
Yes
Iexpress
nice.
Cool
What is it?
FYI, before replacing RAM, try to first reinsert the cards to make sure they're seated properly and scrape off any corrosion that may have formed on the contacts. Rerun the RAM test to make sure the issue is gone. The majority of the time, that will fix the problem.
If that doesn't, try moving them to a different slot. You'll need to check your PC/mainboard manual to be sure they're installed in the correct ones. Most require pairs to be placed in the same "bank". If they pass the test, you likely have a bad slot. It's rare, but does happen. A bad slot isn't the end of the world, but it would likely rule out any hope of upgrading the RAM later. In a system with all of the slots filled, just swap the positions/banks. If the test fails and the bad locations didn't move much, you still likely have a bad slot. Otherwise, you have a bad card.
Also, another thing to consider is if the RAM had been overclocked. Try resetting the BIOS memory settings and rerun the test. If you have no idea what that means, it's unlikely your problem. Well, unless you had a cheap system/RAM manufacturer who fudged their specs.

I remember going through various programs like those, on my grandma's Windows 98 computer. As a kid, I was just bored and curious. Didn't break anything, but just had fun exploring Windows. They also had interesting icons that made me click on them, thinking there might a game to find.
I wonder how many people are aware of Wordpad program, which is like an advanced Notepad, but not as advanced as Microsoft Word. I use it more than Notepad because it has basic text formatting, that let's me put bullet points, change font size, etc.
I know about it but don't use it.
Do you remember the icon for nolfn.exe? It was literally hand drawn.

How many sounds do you have?
ThioJoe: YES (10:45 )
My C:\Windows\Media folder has about 2000 sounds (Good portion of which associated to Windows schemes).
Some of them are even altered a bit courtesy of my using an audio editor called GoldWave.
How many breads have you eaten in your life?
I believe it'll be to do with his Audio Interface he's using, it probably routes each input in the mixer board as a separate windows device which can be really useful.
I definitely raised an eyebrow when I saw it though.

that sounds like something a Geometry Dash player would do, i did that too once when my internet stopped
Come on Joe, admit it, we all know about dxdiag, you just wanna flex that titan 😂
In earliest time of Windows XP times, I went through all stuff in that folder one by one, run it and written down what it did,
I ended up with a list of mostly control panel related stuff, which actually helped me a lot as I ended up in IT job in Siemens when I was 18.
When you troubleshoot something over the phone, it was often much faster to dictate them what to type into Win+R than to go through motions on how to reach there
Probably late to the game... But, for private characters you could use the alt code. the U+0021 is the alt code. So, if you select that font on a program and hold alt and type 0021 it should give your character... For example Alt 2230 on my current set is "Â"... Just a fun add on...
Indeed! I use this trick to type em-dashes
Having an italian keyboard layout, alt+numbers are a necessity when you want to type ~ (126) and even È (i can't remember if it is 121 or 212). I still can't wrap my head around the fact that È is such a common letter to type in italian and they didn't put it on the keyboard...
@@cybertom2474 that is odd. Sadly, I'm aim English, and apart from words like naïve we don't get fancy changes to our letters. I've had to learn a lot of alt codes to type in Spanish and I just assumed it was because of the English keyboard. 😂
@@cybertom2474 Hmmm, how annoying. As you say, I think you need to use alt codes for these characters. (I believe the code an È, is 0200). Alternatively you could use a different keyboard layout, or use MS Keyboard Layout Creator to map a key combination for that character
@@cybertom2474 I second the suggestion by @cbrsi76 to use a different keyboard layout or MS Keyboard Layout Creator (free from Microsoft) to modify your own keyboard. I work in the publishing industry and need a variety of exotic characters on a daily basis. Investing an hour or two to put them all on my keyboard, in places that are logical to me, has made things incredibly convenient.
I remember the dialer program really being a thing on Windows 95, I think it was even in the Accessories folder in the Start menu...
yup
YEAH! THAT'S A VERY OLD NOSTALGIA! I Found This On XP Too! In Accessories Folder.
You could make calls from a Windows PC back in the 90's, yet Apple do something similar decades later, ohh wow, look at Apple and what it can do. lol
rn Microsoft Windows Phone Dialer pop up every time i start my pc in Task Manager and it consume a lot of cpu until i close it can someone explain me why?
I use character map frequently, because I can never remember the shortcuts for ™,© and unicode arrows.
On Windows 10 press ⊞ and ; to quickly search for symbols like ™.
i use it for french websites since my keyboard is english
Its also great for memes. The not equals sign is very useful
Alternatively just load the built in Chinese IME (Microsoft Pinyin) in system input language setting and then use tm for trademark, banquan for copyright sign and shang, xia, zuo and you (which means up, down, left and right in Chinese) for the arrows.
There is no shortcut
You can also take the entire system 32 folder and copy it to a flashdrive then delete it from your system to save space

I discovered it in Windows 7, and used it to grab screen shots while creating documentation. But it has been expanded quite a bit since then!
You're better off with Quick Assist in Windows 10 or higher.
@@shaunclarke94 I used PSR under Win 7 to get periodic screenshots while performing a task, then imported them into the documentation I was creating for how to do it. It worked great for that. The Win 10 version seems to want to log all kinds of additional info, which is great for troubleshooting but ruined it for how I used it. Then again, I've barely tried the Win 10 version at all.
Quick Assist looks interesting, like sharing Remote Desktop, or like several other products for Remote Support. Thanks for making people aware of it!
As a kid, I used to just browse through the folder out of boredom.

Windows Remote Assistance is a tool that doesn't work too well with many firewalls, but does work well in a corporate or LAN setup (and there is easy ways to connect without having to give a code, if it has been set up). With Windows 10 (1909 or newer), better to use the Quick Assist tool.
Thanks ThioJoe! loved the character map info!
In the “homemade fonts segment” I really laughed when you said, “It wasn’t doing this before…” Struck me funny. (Where haven’t I heard this before?)!! And hey, your videos are great!
I never knew how many cool little programs existed in system32. I could watch these all day. Great video!
Wow, I have never been aware of the fact that Windows had this sophisticated step recorder. Maybe because this kind of cool stuff doesn't get mentioned anywhere, even on Microsoft's website. I really wonder why.
Very useful. Thanks. This is a great help and knowledge precursor to the computer degree I will be studying this semester. Thank you

I created a Windows share last year and now I basically rely on it. It's a centralized place to keep all my files. I keep one copy of my music library and stream it to my laptops that don't have as much storage on them. My music library is something like 50 GB and my 10 year old laptop running Ubuntu carries only 128. Now, I could keep a local copy of my library on this laptop if I wanted, but I love that any changes made to my library only need to be made once and it affects all libraries on all connected devices. I also use VLC to stream my movie library to my smart TVs. It's an awesome way to work on something on my laptop until I'm sick of using my laptop and want to work at my desk. The coolest part is that a Windows share works without the internet and the only bottleneck is your hardware. Wired connections here all run at 1 Gbps and that's plenty fast enough for all I do. On top of that, it works if the internet is down because again, your local network doesn't care about your ISP.
Amazing nice work. Love these types of videos
As a network admin, MMC.exe has been my daily working tool for years. It was THE server management go-to tool until the Server Manager program was introduced
Yep, used it heavily in the years of NT 4.
3:34. You should be able to type them by using alt codes. I haven't tested this but if you hover over the letters you can see it has a code such as U+E004.
So if you go to notepad and hold the alt key and press E004 in order, it should type that character.
Though this may only work if you assigned your custom characters to a specific font (and you are using that font).
that's incorrect, it's the unicode codepoint
Thanks for telling us about the font thing! We can now spice up our notepad tutorials.
Imma save this video to re-watch it when I'm feeling adventurous or creative. Good stuff man.
Been using MMC for years, very handy! Good call on this one.
This is the last thing i'd think of using it for, but you could edit the default keyboard to be able to type all of the private-use characters using Microsoft's keyboard-layout-creator application
I remember the dialer back in the Win3.x days. 🙂
The contact entries in Outlook supported doing the same thing, being able to dial someone for you.
mmc is a tool i use every day at work, as it can open most of the RSAT tools used to manage computers in an AD enviroment, it can also open all of its snap-ins for other computers remotely, want to check the preformance of a computer on the network, just open this, add preformance and target the remote computer

To get the output of dxdiag.exe in a text file or xml file, enter one of these in the Run window or at the Command prompt:
Full output, as text:
dxdiag /whql:on /t d:\dx.txt (choose a suitable output location)
As text, without Windows Hardware Certification (to avoid connecting to the Internet):
dxdiag /whql:off /t d:\dx.txt
As XML, without WHQL:
dxdiag /whql:off /x d:\dx.xml
13:50 You can actually add Computer Management itself to MMC, which in turn adds everything that comes with that. But then you can add additional items that aren't in Computer Management along with it. This is great for Windows Server where you may also want to add Active Directory, DHCP, DNS, Print Management, etc. to one master window, and then save it to the Desktop.
Super neat programs here! I've never seen Private Character Editor or heard of private Unicode characters. Very obscure and neat, even if it's just local characters. I wonder what their practical use is, how to configure kerning, and if there's an easy way to transfer them to another computer. I didn't find a way to export these characters. Maybe need to create a new font file and link the characters to them, install it on another computer, and then can copy into Eudcedit.

iexpress.exe is another good one. It builds a self extracting archive (exe file) that automatically executes another exe of your choosing upon running it. I have used it to package batch and PowerShell scripts into exe files. Assuming you have a 64-bit computer, the one in system32 builds a 64-bit exe, and the one in sysWOW64 builds a 32-bit exe.

You can put the characters you make into the unicode spots for keyboard characters. Check charmap for the numbers, select those spots in the private font editor. I'd strongly recommend only linking it to certain fonts or every font will end up the same.

Charmap is my favourite. I use it frequently.
We had a strict hand writeing recuairement for projects. We where not allowed to hand in coppys tho. I remember following a tutorial to create a font useing my handwriteing. Like scaning it traceing it in gimp and so on. I think i used something that is in winwows to create the font.
As a JRR Tolkien fan, I've had charmap saved to every desktop I've had since the late 90s. Yeah, I have some of the ascii alt codes memorized, but nothing beats charmap for the more esoteric European fonts when writing Sindarin or Quenyan.

Math input panel: I've seen this program in one of you're videos (maybe, I don't remember) Math input panel is a program that uses the windows vista/windows 7 (not aero), you can draw the math and it displays the preview. If the preview doesn't display the math equation correctly, you can use the tool called "Select and correct" (it's not another program, it's one of the tools that are built in) . In order to use the "Select and correct" tool, you first select and then correct it by using the other solution of what the computer thinks you drawn, then you click one of the solutions and the computer will think that what you selected with the "Select and correct" tool, is the equation you have drawn. I dont know what the name it is in the File explorer, so I just type "Math input panel" in the search bar.

To make the dial out work you need a modem, the modem with phone-in, and phone-out jacks for a phone line. Dail out will look for a modem, if not found then the program will exit. Back in XP and Windows 7 days, I had a program that would speed dial my phones and if the phone was busy then it would re-dial the number in 5 to 10 minutes later. Since I don't have a landline and no modem.

A possible use for the personal characters could be if you are doing arts or something and you regularly need a few characters during typing sessions. The end product should contain the personal characters if they are converted to vectors or something. I don't know if it saves in PDF but my first thought was that I could use it to create meshes in Blender with. (Then again, vector art or black/white pngs could serve better. Not important right now, I might find the perfect font I want next time it comes up.)
If you really do need a very specific font, just make that as a font. That's why things like FontForge exist.
On the charmap there is the shortcut that you need to use on the bottom right corner, however this doesn't seem to cover all characters, some of them do, some of them don't, for example, if you hold alt and type 1 and 3 you get this: ♪
