+In a command box execute:
+<code>reg add HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32 /ve /d "" /f</code>
+//Note: To take effect, in task manager restart the process "explorer.exe" otherwise it will be there next reboot.//
+=== Youtube Downloading ===
+To download a youtube video, don't bother with the GUIs and online downloaders, they are full of spam. Just use a free command line downloader. Get yourself a copy of yt-dlp.exe and from command line run:
+<code>yt-dlp.exe https://youtube.com/watch?v=XYZ</code>
+If you have some weird stream that is only downloading a minute or so, then get yourself ytarchive.exe instead and run:
+<code>ytarchive.exe "https://youtube.com/watch?v=XYZ" --merge --wait</code>
+Warning! yt-dlp and YouTube are constantly at war, so expect every few months you will need to download a new version that is winning the war on yt-dlp's side.
+=== WASAPI ===
+In in DAW use the Windows WASAPI driver over direct sound, it is much better. ASIO is best, but that has limited specific drivers. Windows+R then run mmsys.cpl then for your normal listening playback device bring up properties, and then in advanced make sure everything is ticked (exclusive) and choose a better format eg 24 bit 48kHz. In your DAW, in the preferences for audio settings, set the driver to WASAPI.
+In a synology NAS, free up disk space by deleting duplicate files using the built in system. Browse to your NAS, go to the Storage Analyzer (in packages). Create a new report, find duplicates. Open and delete - note that this is just for identical files (but called different names).
