Thunderbird in macOS - icon not displaying a count of new mail
This took far too long to figure out, so I'm leaving the fix here in case someone else finds it useful. In Thunderbird Settings, select the 'general' cogwheel. Scroll down to the bottom and click on 'Config Editor' search for "mail.biff" Set mail.biff.show_alert = TRUE mail.biff.use_new_co...

Re: FTYPE reports wrong executable file

Re: FTYPE reports wrong executable file

Re: Xcopy bug
I don't think this is a bug, XCOPY just thinks you are trying to copy a file called C:\demo with no file extension. To tell it this is a directory, you need to add a trailing backslash. When using Robocopy there is no need for a trailing space because robocopy is centered around copying a whole dire...
