1°) Cool to see that lots of things are done for XP ...
2°) not speaking about features but updating: if by any chance, WindowBlinds is running when you update, at he next boot there's systematicly an error message that "WindowBlinds is missing a core dll file WBLIND.DLL. Please reinstall WindowBlinds"
As Impulse is not proposing to download and archive the new version (like SDC did), the only way to do it, is to go back to re install previous version, then to don't get the same error message, unable WindowBlinds to start with Windows by activating "Windows Classic", then reboot, then update, then reboot again ... With the time needed by Impulse to load and verify everything's, the update has taken about ½ hour for me . Should it be possible to fix that ? (it's not a trouble relative to the last version, it's something which came with Impulse ...)
3°) SDC gave the opportunity to "Prompt to select where Start Menu shortcuts are created" . It would be a minimum that impulse would do the same ... (not specific to WindowBlinds but to any of apps)

Cool to see that 24 h later (or not far), someone from Stardock had taken care of what i reported ... As always, we appreciate feedback. The more, the better as it improves the software experience for all our users.
Having said that I would like to point out that 1) No response does not mean no action; 2) Finding an anomaly may be easy, fixing it might not be; 3) an anomaly on one user's system does not always mean it will happen on any other system.
You may trust that Stardock follows up on all reports so that issues are addressed.
Sure there's a lot of action ... Now this time for the WB 6.39b(
.180 update i unactivate WB by switching to "Windows Classic" then reboot, then go for updating to WB 6.39b(.180 and after the reboot, i got this time the message:
"It appears that WbSrv.dll is missing from your Windowblinds installation. Please reinstall WindowBlinds" (though why as nothing from Wb is suposed to be launched on startup ?)
Still no way to reinstall, but another kind of message to let it do "with more ressource" ( ??? ) ... Ok, click on it and reboot ... Still the same message but this time it's aked to uninstall WB ( ???) ... OK i uninstall WB, reboot, then reinstall it, then reboot, OK WB seems to be iinstalled this time ... Yes, but not really, becauze verifying installation through Impulse tells that WindowBlinds is not correctly installed and needs to be re-installed ...
Euh, will this game keep on a long time ? it(s just about more than one hour i'm playing for now ...
And when things i mentionned in my initial post will be possible (because now, i've also my backup versions corrupted ...)
