WinBatchX - 17.0 Early Release 2 - Build 1626

A long list of fixes, improvement, and some new features were made the past 2 weeks and is ready for a "big" build release.

---

After Testing, WinBatchX is able to be used at a 1920x1080 and 1600x900 resolution display. For 1600x900 resolution, you must hide the windows taskbar or WinBatchX will not work.

Resizing WinBatchX's display is a later project currently.

16.1 will have resizing, as it does not come with windowed mode.

** No NI 11 apps execpt wbx-security work in this build **

New Features:

• Added WinBatchX Security! It is now inside WinBatchX and is now the only working application in the NI 11 desktop. Security is very important to WinBatchX, and it even scans it's files before showing the login screen. So, WBX Security is added before any app is able to be used. (Just note it takes at least 5 seconds to scan the files since we are still testing)

• Added icons next to the app
• Added grayblank.bmp inside system/insertbmp

• Bug Found when right-clicking anywhere on any app, the right-click menu would show up.
• Bug issue: start menu would drop into acc.temp. Currently not fixed as it will be added in the start menu recreation later in builds 1635.

Fixed Bugs:

• Fixed a bug issue where you would have to click the mouse for 5 seconds before entering the login menu.
• A bug was fixed during development of WBX-Security App where it would not scan the files.
• A bug was fixed on Notepad and Edge for showing "NIDTKENREL-APP" instead of "NIKERNELAPP-APP."
• Bug Fixed on line 638: :acc.temp has a comma instead of a period.
