lol... it looks like im not going to reinstall my primary PC until longhorn comes out :p

Original Install Date: January 21st 2003 (when i got new mobo/cpu/ram etc)

But i might reinstall in case i decide to switch my network from workgroup to domain :D (did a test today!!)

/Raptor

dont worry... although some people say im good in programming and other say im good in graphics... im more interested in networks :p

btw: i already finished setting up the server (with DHCP, DNS, WINS, Active Directory and FileServer roles :p)

/Raptor

I lost all my desktop icons and I can't right-click on the desktop to bring up the context menu. Only thing I can do is double-click on the desktop and the startmenu opens up... Looks like a regtweak because the desktop is functionnal... just not the way its suppose to be.

// edit : Also tried TweakUI to bring back the icons but it didn't work.

it sounds to me like some old little programs i had which would do that... and i remember the drivers of my previous GFX card would do something like that... i'm quite sure none of the regtweaks can do such thing... did you try the RegUndo though?

/Raptor

No... but to undo what exactly ?

// edit : can't really be some program because I haven't installed anything prior and after the AP. Also, i have a GF4 w/ latest WHQL detonators so I doubt its related the my video card or drivers... never happpened to me before.

// edit : I looked through all Regtweak Undo from the tools menu and I haven't found anything that could be it.

Edited by xplatinum

Only one that had to do with desktop is "Undo disabling of common tasks on desktop"

Didn't help

// edit : I think there's 1 big bug in this release... The undoRegTweak from the Tools menu doesn't work. I clicked undo, answered YES and rebooted. The line is still there.

:D All I have it pulled complete and have the torrent up on my slave box.

Flish, I saw the new page......

This is the proudest moment in my life My legacy will live on long after the

Gov eliminates me on the Autopatcher page!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sniff sniff :) :) :) :)

    • NirLauncher 1.30.24 by Razvan Serea NirLauncher is a suite of more than 200 of NirSoft's excellent portable freeware Windows utilities, and provides an interface that makes it easy to find and launch the tools you need. Which works for us - because there's something here for everyone. Have you forgotten a password stored in your browser or email client, for instance? Recovery tools here may be able to find them for you. Maybe you'd like to check your hard drive health? A disk tool will display its S.M.A.R.T. data (if the drive supports this), so you can view read/ write errors, temperature and other useful details. Is your system unstable? The System Utilities section includes several tools that can help to explain why your PC might be crashing. And there are a host of other programs on offer in categories like "Network Monitoring", "Web Browser Tools", "Video/ Audio Related Utilities", "Outlook/ Office Utilities" and more. Please note, perhaps because a few of these tools can be used maliciously (the password revealers, say), some antivirus programs will flag them as threats. We've never had a problem with any NirSoft tool, though, and you can read more on this issue at the author's site. NirLauncher is an excellent set of free tools, and a must-have for everyone's portable troubleshooting toolkit. NirLauncher Features: NirLauncher can be used from USB flash drive without need of any installation. NirLauncher and all the utilities in the package are completely freeware, without any Spyware/Adware/Malware. This package doesn't contain any 3-party software, toolbars, Web browser plugins, or other unwanted surprises. It will not install any software on your system and it will not change your Web browser homepage or other settings on your system. NirLauncher package includes variety of tools that you may need for your daily computer use, including utilities to recover lost passwords, to monitor your network, to view and extract cookies, cache, and other information stored by your Web browser, to search files in your system, and more... For every utility in the package, you can easily run it, view the help file, or jump to the Web page of the utility. When using it from USB flash drive, the configuration of every utility is saved into .cfg file on the flash drive. On x64 systems, NirLauncher automatically run the x64 version of the utility, when there is a separated x64 version. NirLauncher also allows to add more software packages in additional to the main NirSoft package. NirLauncher allows you generate plugin files for BartPE (Launcher -> Generate BartPE Plugin Files), so you can easily use the utilities of NirSoft from a bootable live windows CD.

    • What people who support this position of LibreOffice do not understand is that EuroOffice is not made to appease the open source enthusiasts (I am also one) and evangelists. EuroOffice was made because some European companies wanted independence from Microsoft Office Suite, which is something installable on your computer. This move to independence was pushed by public institutions and governments in Europe, as well. Using a proprietary FORMAT as default, does not make you dependent on MS. The actual program does. A format can be changed with a simple update in the future in a dystopian world where MS would manipulate the format to lock others out. However, using MS Office proprietary format, guarantees that all the current documents used by companies, organizations, institutions, etc, will be compatible with EuroOffice and the suite will have the best chances at adoption, especially by slow moving organizations like governments and the public sector. It is as simple as that. For the same reason, even the UI is incredibly similar to MS Office. For the same reason (adoption) the choice was made to be open source. Not because EU particularly loves open source ideologically, but because it gives the best starting point to create trust in the project and amass developers and contributions to the project quickly, to catch up with proprietary projects like MS Office. I don't understand how people don't realize it.
    • How old is this tip? Seems 15-20 years old? Processor states for the CPU under Windows power options has been a thing for a long, long time. It certainly isn't new or hidden... Also, with laptops it doesn't make any difference what OS you are running, all of them are configured for battery longevity over performance, for obvious reasons. Wanted to add as well that most systems in use currently do burst as setup in the uefi bios settings, and usually when a setting is "hidden" like this in Windows it's because it's either obsolete or it is redundant--doesn't override the bios and the CPU drivers. There is a lot of crap in the registry that needs to come out...;) It's hamless and might consume 1-2kb of space in total, though.
    • I can't believe Starmer is still there...his party lost so big. He's a stubborn coot, but this is largely unenforceable, so I would imagine he'll be resigning soon. A key here is for parents to buy their kids phones sans Internet access--and set up the Internet at home, where mom and day can, you know, act like parents instead expecting the government to raise their kids.
