    Pagefile.sys

    If you are using Hibernate then it has its own file that can not be defragged. Go to Control Panel then Power Options then Hibernate to see if it is enabled. WinDirStat gives a nice colourful representation of the hard drive contents: http://windirstat.info
  3. Its SP3 compatible but I prefer IE8 with IE7Pro.

  5. I have decided to go back to IE8 on the old PIII as it can use IE7Pro's features that I am accustomed to and its speed is quite acceptable.

    Welcome BadBob. Have a look at: http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=18199
  7. Try Opera 10 as it makes FF look as fast as slug crawling over dry concrete.
  8. Hello hechto. I believe that these files are index.dat files and are in use by Windows so can not be deleted but will be re-created by Windows during a reboot.

    Slooooow start-up

    Running an XP Media Center Edition with only 512MB RAM ( 64MB used by video ) as well as Ad-Aware, Norton and SpywareGuard which is obsolete by the way will result in a slow system. Go to Crucial and see what RAM upgrades are possible: http://www.crucial.com You don't have to purchase from Crucial but you can visit your local PC store and explain that you would like a RAM upgrade. For $20.00 to $40.00 you can double the speed of your system.
  10. :Latest Release: http://www.ie7pro.com/download.php?language=en Donwload IE7Pro 64bit version 2.3 MD5:ca0555593cad4718a68135f994b677bf
  11. I saw a Simpsons episode where Homer's car go clamped and he drove it hobbling along the expressway. Now I'm off to watch The Vicar of Dibly.

    SpyGuard is a rogue program: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic58415.html If you had MBAM it would have informed you about it. I would download MBAM then update it then run a Quick scan and let it remove what it detects and a reboot may be required to remove locked files: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php Ad-Aware has become a bit dated and bloated and only looks at adware that is not much of a threat these days so I would un-install that next. How much RAM does the system have and what operating system and Service Pack are you running?

  14. Being over the age of 24 helps. I'm 24 x 2.6 and have a corresponding shorter tolerance Thankfully it is now raining and washing the stuff away but will make for real icy sidewalks at night as the temp drops so I'll just stay home and watch the Nova special on PBS about the Bible and pop back here during the Pledge Breaks.
  15. Nope. Donate a 64 bit system to the developers and it might speed up development.
  16. Looks like we'll have a White Christmas. Why I don't like a White Christmas: Sidewalks slippery Bulky clothes It is cold and damp making my bones ache Snow plows make a lot of noise Salt stains shoes and pants
  17. It adds a lot of nice features that I like: o A handy menu to stop devices The main disadvantage of using built-in Windows safe removal tool is that in case of having several hot-plug devices it is quite difficult to recognize a needed to stop device - the most devices have the same name - "USB mass storage device". In addition, Windows does not let you hide a device you would not want to stop from the menu. Also this menu allows to: . Rename a device . Change a device image . Hide a device from the menu o The device cannot be stopped right now. Why? Ever encountered the situation when Windows does not allow you to remove a device? Unlike Windows, USB Safely Remove will show you programs which prevent the device from being stopped and let you close these programs or just files they opened on the device. o Program autorun on device connection\disconnection Another USB Safely Remove feature that distinguishes it from similar software is starting any applications not only after connecting a device, but also before removing it. The autorun feature allows you to set up data backup before disconnecting a removable hard drive, to run Total Commander with the contents of the pen-drive, automatically unmount an encrypted TrueCrypt drive before disconnecting the USB media, etc. o Command line to safe removal USB Safely Remove has a powerful and convenient command line: usr.exe. It allows you to automate work with any devices. For example, you can automatically stop devices according to schedule or in case of any other event. In addition the command line tool of "USB Safely Remove" allows to "return device back". o Working with any hot-plug devices - USB, SATA, FireWire, PCMCIA Another important difference between the program and the standard Safely Remove Hardware icon is the possibility to see and stop any kinds of hotplug devices. If USB Safely Remove does not display the device you need, try enabling the "Display all storage devices" checkbox in the program options. o Return Device Back! After you had stopped the device, but still did not unplug it, sometimes it is quite useful to return it back into the system. For example if you remembered that you forgot to write a file to the external drive. In order to do it, you have to physically reconnect the device, however sometimes it's quite inconvenient to do, e.g. if the device is connected to the rear panel of the computer. http://safelyremove.com/fullFeaturesList.htm?b

    iPhone iWon't

    Ted Rogers passed away recently and he and his organization has contributed significantly in opening up Canada to communication vehicles that the stoic CRTC needs a Caterpillar D9 gently pushing on their doors to get it to do anything.
  21. Similar to my feelings with iPhone: http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=16667
  22. For $67.27CAD I think I will pass. I subscribe to the adage A fool and his money are soon parted There are many Free cleanup tools available if one so chooses to do a little research.
  23. And women. Bo Deric in 10 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10_(film) Ursula Andress in Dr. No http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055928 Ashley Judd in Double Jeopardy http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0150377 Now only if I had Bill Gates' money and Sean Connery's looks.
