The Weird and The Wonderful

   

The Weird and The Wonderful forum is a place to post Coding Horrors, Worst Practices, and the occasional flash of brilliance.

We all come across code that simply boggles the mind. Lazy kludges, embarrassing mistakes, horrid workarounds and developers just not quite getting it. And then somedays we come across - or write - the truly sublime.

Post your Best, your worst, and your most interesting. But please - no programming questions . This forum is purely for amusement and discussions on code snippets. All actual programming questions will be removed.

If I ever have the time to investigate this further, I can give it a shot, however I found it easier to take the path of least resistance which was renaming the offending executables and getting on with more important items. (I gave in!) Sigh | :sigh:

The whole thing is still a mystery to me. Confused | :confused: I'll be getting a Win11 development system in the next few months which may shed some light on things. Thanks for the suggestion! Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:
