    i don’t understand why the ad keeps reappearing after restart. the exe has the same hash with the cracked one, but i have to overwrite it with the cracked one for the ad to no longer appear.

    what’s the logic for that?

    and as a request, if it’s not that hard to remove that plug-in bar that i was talking about, i’m sure a lot of people would apreciate it if you would make an *exe without it, just as an alternative for those of us that are not using plug-ins.

    thanks again for 1102.

    they never get tired, do they – lol
    completely removing the plug-ins bar would mean no more plug-ins

    dedndave, we are all waiting for you to do your magic :)

    also, removing that ugly “Plug-ins – Add Plug-ins” bar would be nice.
