Windows 11 is about to make app downloads easier, but there’s a risk

Microsoft is testing a new feature that allows users to download apps from the Microsoft Store directly through Windows Search. When users search for an app not installed on their system, Windows will check the Microsoft Store for availability and present a preview of the app's listing page along with a "Get" button to initiate the download and installation process. For this feature to be effective, Microsoft needs to refine Windows Search to ensure it provides relevant results and does not return unrelated app suggestions.

The 12 KB Windows just can’t quit

Raymond Chen discussed the moricons.dll file on his blog, highlighting its significance in the Windows operating system. The file, sized at 12,288 bytes, contains icons from the Windows 3.1 era, including those for Turbo Pascal, Quattro Pro, WordPerfect, Lotus 123, and cc:Mail. Originally, icons were stored in progman.exe, but as their collection grew, they were moved to moricons.dll for better organization. This library has persisted through various Windows upgrades, evolving from Program Manager icons to shortcut files in Windows 95. Despite the transition to 64-bit Windows, which no longer supports MS-DOS programs, moricons.dll has survived, suggesting that some users may still find value in these nostalgic icons.
