When I was in Brussels ages ago I visited several Art Museums and was enthralled by the beauty and the bountiful number of famous artists' paintings and statues as well as the magnificent buildings of the Grand Place. The seemingly endless different beers and wonderful restaurants featuring Mules Au Frit with their wonderful broths are well worth savoring.

Does anyone know the significance of today's Google image?

Welcome harlan8 Many of the tracking cookies plus blocking of malware sites can be prevented by the use of a HOSTS file. I use hpHosts and MVPS HOSTS files: http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm <== has a good description of the HOSTS file and its use I manage them with HostsMan and I use its HostsServer proxy to speed up browsing: http://www.abelhadigital.com

To paraphrase a credit card's slogan What's in your Startup Folder? I like to have the little mouse eyes peek at me then disappear when it has checked that all installed applications are up to date.

Welcome magickmell Please don't put a spell on me. What type of system do you have, CPU speed and RAM and operating system plus Service Packs installed.

Welcome Obsidian Who makes the system and what model number plus what operating system are you using as I have no problem with the Power settings on XP.

NTFS is better and this has been discussed here before. Discover the wonder of Search at the upper right.

WinPatrol portable: http://www.winpatrolflash.com I even have the Flash USB Wristband loaded with CCleaner plus HostMan installer.

The "hibernation file" is only on the hard drive if you enable Hibernation in Power Settings: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hibernate_(OS_feature) The "metadata" files are not visible because they are part of the files Properties: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metadata Google is your friend.

That was it but I could not remember where I got it from. Thank you. My brain hurts! I had a few wobbly pops yesterday. I am copying the utilities I want over into the C:\Program Files\Various Applications Folder.

I just noticed that the entries that change are in my Favorites but I forgot that I put them there. The registry item is blank

Version 4.8.1290 November 19, 2008 improvements in the malware submission system minor improvements in some unpackers improvements in the rootkit scanner Network Shield: solved a problem occurring on systems with missing TCP stack http://www.avast.com/eng/avast-4-home_pro-...on-history.html

It is quite impressive and I have a couple of requests. 1. The READ ME FIRST.txt is a bit wide unless I use Word Wrap which I don't like as I like to see the Ln and Col information in the Status Bar 2. For some reason I do not have "Send To" and then click on "Desktop" available on my XP Home system. This might be a bit harder to implement: 3. Many of the utilities do not come with an install interface and are just .zip files that have to be un-zipped and usually they go into their own Folder with the name of the zip file. I wish there was an easy way to get them to un-zip into C:\Program Files\Various Applications I hope you understand what I mean.

I have disabled Use inline AutoComplete and I still see the previous entries appear in the Address bar. I thought that Recently Typed URLs in Windows Internet Explorer should clear them but it does not. I can not find where the URLs are stored in the registry. I have done a reboot.

I like AutoComplete but I would like CCleaner to clean them out when I run it but I guess the entries are stored in the registry somewhere and if I find the registry location then I will include it in a registry clean.

davy, this is something that annoys me as well and can only be displayed when you begin to type something into the Address field in IE and all previous typed entries appear as an aid to help you in selecting old entries. I just ignore the advice and just keep typing the URL I want.

What I believe greyowl2 is asking is How to use Eraser?

After searching in Google for Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19) I saw this fix recommended a couple of times: http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2008/0...-damage-code-19 I also recommend USBDeview to find what USB Device Has Been Used On Your Computer: http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2007/0...n-your-computer It looks like plugging in a device with similar properties disables its use.

MBAM will be on top of it faster than you can say To the bat cave Robin.
