Needs to be a new way to switch between toons.

Use Win+Tab to create a new desktop, slide your YouTubes over there. Then Win+Tab back to your desktop running the EQs.

I used ISB for awhile. It works ok, but it's very confusing to get setup. I really wish they would embrace boxing more and make some nice QoL improvements. Let your alts act as mercs or something like that. Allow you to setup hotbars for your alts on your mains screen, so you can click their buttons without switching screens(what ISbox allows). Things like that.

You guys need to learn how to use Microsoft's Powershell ISE and Powertoys. Literally everything discussed in this thread can be done out of-the-box in Windows without paying for "3rd party tools".

If you edit the registry, which I usually recommend against, for the love of God use Microsoft's tools intead of doing it manually. Microsoft has specific tools like the Registry Preview to easily make changes without messing up your system.

Microsoft also has a ton of free programs and free libraries available that are 10 times as powerful as the stupid 3rd party bannable apps you guys are paying for.

FFS, you're literally giving money to a bunch of shady lowlife hackers who will likely run off with your credit card info, for stuff that is available by default in Windows.

RTFM

I wrote an automation of alt-tab and key presses using autoitv3 which is called from inside EQ using /sys command. It renames windows and restores windows names as you zone.

There are a couple MS downloads that are easy to Google to make new Windows editions behave the old way. Yes, the taskbar has a grouped / ungrouped setting, but it won't unstack multiples of the same app in later editions of Windows.

This was already covered earlier in the topic. You seem to be mixing up multiple different tools. Input redirection and window management is not "hacking." They specifically disconnect players from true box servers when they detect the former, and patch messages have specifically referenced it. They could easily do so on all servers if they wanted.

"Too many simultaneous inputs on multiple clients should no longer disconnect players on XYZ server." is paraphrasing how they reference it without naming any specific software, when a server is no longer true box
