I would like a feature (built into the "Include" sub-section of Options) that would let me delete a selected Registry key or Registry Folder. This would be useful for removing traces of of USB devices that you have connected to your system (as one example). I would simply be able to tell it to delete the folder that shows what devices have been attached to my system if I wanted to.
I use USBDeview
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.htmlUSBDeview is a small utility that lists all USB devices that currently connected to your computer, as well as all USB devices that you previously used.For each USB device, exteneded information is displayed: Device name/description, device type, serial number (for mass storage devices), the date/time that device was added, VendorID, ProductID, and more...
USBDeview also allows you to uninstall USB devices that you previously used, and disconnect USB devices that are currently connected to your computer.
You can also use USBDeview on a remote computer, as long as you login to that computer with admin user.

Give crucial.com a try:
It will let you know the upgrade path but you don't have to purchase from them.
SP3 has been available for almost a year now and has several Critical Security updates so in IE go to Tools then Windows Update then install SP3.
Run Secunia Online Software Inspector to see what other applications are vulnerable:

I don't think CCleaner does touch that particular folder.
It cleans that folder for me on XP Pro except for the files that are in use and I haven't had a problem yet.

It was a network hiccup and is fine now.

I used this a couple of years ago but once Ashampoo came along I dropped it.
Not saying it doesn't suit some folk, just I prefer the Ashampoo ease of use.
I tried Ashampoo but did not like it.
Its all up to familiarity I guess.

I have always thought pft was the sort of sound you make before saying yeah...right, to express disbelief.
Must be an expression from over your side of the pond as I thought it was the sort of sound you make after a meal of Brown Beans on toast and a cup of coffee:

When I run Defraggler v1.07.124 on my Vista system and Check for updates... I receive the following IE error message window:
Service Unavailable
Other than that it is working fine.

Tell us about Net Framework then, Kenny. I like the look of CDBXP, but don't like other software/application dependencies.
Why don't you like .NET?

I guess you don't like Paint.NET either?

"Pshaw" is an antiquated phrase for saying "oh comon' now" or "I don't believe it". Last time I read it in printed form it must've been in the 70s or 80s.
Pft is short for PIFT.
I'm still confused
PIFT 0.07 sec.
Acronym Definition
PIFT platelet immunofluorescence test
PIFT Protocol Interbank File Transfer
http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/PIFT
Now if you said piffle that would make sense
pif?fle (pfl)
intr.v. pif?fled, pif?fling, pif?fles
To talk or act feebly or futilely.
n.
Foolish or futile talk or ideas; nonsense.

Once the cornerstone of a booming local tech economy, AOL yesterday executed its second major round of layoffs in two years amid a weakening online advertising market. The company is shedding 10 percent of its workforce by the end of this month
Almost as good as an Investment counselor for a large American financial consultant looking for a job.

Security bulletin for Adobe 9.1
Looks like it's a needed update. The only reason I care about Adobe is because we use Reader/Acrobat here at work so I have to support it for my clients and flash player because it's used across most of the web. Other than that, I use Foxit at home :|
I hope you have them use Secunia Online Software Inspector to scan their PC for the most common programs and vulnerabilities:

http://www.askvg.com/another-good-web-browser-theworldAnother Good Web Browser: TheWorld"TheWorld" web browser is another good browser which uses Internet Explorer engine. It has a very clean and organized interface. Look-wise it looks similar to Mozilla Firefox, so you can say its a mixture of both IE and Firefox.
When I fire up the XP Pro system I'll give it a try.

Donate it to a local retirement home with an offer to pop along once a week to give a couple of lessons
I used to volunteer at a local seniors community center and they had more modern systems than what I'm trying to sell.
It seemed that the only thing they were used for was to play Solitaire.
I may offer it here for people to use as a free Internet access system to check their Hotmail and stuff if I get no offers.
Yesterday I finished doing my 2008 Income Tax and I may get a bit of a rebate which makes me happy but it is so complicated but have the time and patience and I refuse to pay $50.00 to have it done.

http://www.sophos.com/blogs/gc/g/2009/03/1...sexe-bandwagon/Malware authors jump on the PIFTS.EXE bandwagonIt looks like the bad guys are proving that once again they aren't slow to leap on an opportunity.
With parts of the internet flustering over the Symantec / PIFTS.EXE debacle, hackers have set out to poison search engines in an attempt to cash in on unsuspecting computer users.
We're seeing evidence that websites containing malware are showing up in search engine results when people hunt for more information about PIFTS.
