So a quick question...
I have a custom WinPE I made a few years ago. I made it using a toolkit that is no longer available, but I've always found it to be reliable. I'd like to share it for members here. Any idea of an appropriate place to put it? (Like hosting wise) I do have a Gmail Workplace account, not sure but I might be able to link it to my storage for members here to access.
It is based on Windows 8.1, but that doesn't affect it's functionality. I do have both a 64 Bit and a 32 Bit, although I need to locate the 32 Bit.
It has a explorer extension that essentially nullifies any security on a NTFS drive, so even if files are locked behind NTFS Level security, this bypasses it. This also applies to files like hibernate and pagefile, which are useful at times to nuke them and force a rebuild etc.
While it's older, it's my go to whenever I need a simple interface. Some apps on it are old, but figured if there was interest I could upload it for others to try.
It does have some peculiar bugs. If you use it on a USB device, it will work, but sometimes it may complain that the signature is not verified. If that happens, it's not the PE but the boot files you are using. Oddly if you get that message, sometimes using UEFI fixes it. It will work with both BIOS and UEFI. The machine needs a minimum of 4GB of RAM. Back when I made my own boot drives, I used BCD Editor to apply the boot file to a USB drive, and manually copies the files for UEFI.
