As per the description given previously, Signed content is an indication that the code downloaded can [be] trusted not to maliciously harm your system & as such you should be content enough setting this to Enable.[/QUOTE]

- So.... What? Your comment doesn't tell me anything. What I am saying is that I have read the guide, and other sites have already covered all of this tons of times before. Whether or not TS was the first to write the original guide is irrelevant.

- I was making a point when you say:
QUOTE Nothing that isn't available a thousand different places on the net.
By now there are a lot of places to look around for similar stuff, true, but then again we were one of the first and are keeping our guide up to date, especially because significant changes have been made with SP2.

- Next time a mod completely deletes a post and labels it a 'troll', have the decency to leave your name at the very least, or better yet a name and a reason why it's a 'troll'.

- The devellopers in my office only use IE for testing purposes anymore. Tweaking it can defeat that purpose. We need to be able to see exactly what the 'average' user would see.
TechSpot's tweak guide will take you through the vast array of options and settings available to customize Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) and the bundled Outlook Express (OE) to its fullest, in particular seeking to improve browser security or just fine tuning them to your own browsing needs. You may also want to know this guide has been updated to include all changes brought by Windows' Service Pack 2.
However, he did note that developers are expecting Microsoft to update the prototype PowerMac-based Xenon kits with more advanced hardware "pretty much any day now" - an important step for the company, since it's still planning to launch the next-generation Xbox before the end of the year, and industry rumours suggest that it may even have recently pulled the launch schedule forward by several weeks.
Sony plans to show the next-generation PlayStation off in public for the first time at its pre-E3 conference in Los Angeles in May, where it will almost certainly debut within a few hours of the public unveilings of Nintendo's Revolution and Microsoft's next-gen Xbox.
However, the system - which is based on a new chip called Cell, which was co-developed by IBM and Sony, and an NVIDIA graphics board - is not expected to start shipping to consumers until the second quarter of 2006 at the earliest.
