Title: ExplorerASM - a Windows explorer app ( 32-bit )
Post by: _japheth on June 16, 2023, 10:30:02 AM

Hello,

I uploaded this app to github ( https://github.com/Baron-von-Riedesel/ExplASM (https://github.com/Baron-von-Riedesel/ExplASM).
It was written long ago, when Windows XP was the current Windows - it even runs on Win9x systems. It also runs - or at least starts - on Windows 10 ( 64-bit ) - but for such newer OS versions there are a few quirks that need to be fixed.
It's also a good example of how an app should not be written - way too few comments in the source.

The binary and source: https://github.com/Baron-von-Riedesel/ExplASM/releases/download/v1.2/ExplASM.zip (https://github.com/Baron-von-Riedesel/ExplASM/releases/download/v1.2/ExplASM.zip) - no external source files should be needed to create the binary, just jwasm/masm, MS link+rc.

The page of this app as it once looked like: https://www.japheth.de/ExplASM.html (https://www.japheth.de/ExplASM.html)

Neat little program, thanks for sharing! Works well on Windows 7 32 bit.  :thumbsup:
I tried one time years ago to make something similar, but it was a dismal failure. I just didn't have enough 'know how' or experience then. Still lacking somewhat in that area these days.  :tongue:

Hi Rockphorr,

That report is about false positives and Virustotal is not trustable. You can check this example :

Yes, I know. It is funny.
