No...WAY.... 42 bids already? $5,100??? Have these people lost their minds?!?!

If I could get a Raptor or other 10k drive I would partition it so that OS and games would be on the 70/130 GB drive, with media, music, movies on whatever slower, 7200 drives I have lying around. ATM however, I don't really have a need for it - so it's all one 160GB fat... thing... One C:/ for all my stuff plus the family pictures, videos, etc.

VLC for Video, XM Play for audio - you're set. Interfaces on both are nothing fancy, but they both get the job done well.

I get to vote in the next election! YAY!

I've had Windows2000 until about 1 year ago. So I don't expect to get Vista until they release Vieanna (Vienna, w/e)

I hadn't thought of that before, thanks for the interesting thought I never used AOL search, though... and would NEVER even consider having AOL as an ISP...

CCleaner isn't a spyware remover. Try Ad-Aware, Spybot S&D, and some others. You can get them all and instructions on how to use them here.

Right here: http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/ Look on the right hand side, there's a green column.

Does this mean the issue where issues (redundant, I know) aren't being deleted? If so I'm having the same problem. WinXP Home, only user and admin.

WMP 11v2 is not bad, but I heard a lot of people are having problems with the installation and uninstallation of it. The interface is not too bad though.

If you're trying to open a file, Right Click and go to Open With... and use the program you have to open it with. If you're trying to open a docklet, you have to put it in your RocketDock folder first, then add it (at least, that's how most docks work) Agreed. RK Dock is very nice. The only thing I don't like is that you can't export/import saved themes (at least, I haven't found a way to)

My 5200 *most likely* can't take Aero. And most people run Dells with Integrated graphics anyway... Vista has some nice features, like DX10 and whatnot, but for most people, it will take a very long time for them to transition. In the meantime I can be happy with a Vista skin

No programmers, AOL goes for the lowest bidder

$400 is an awful lot for an OS, especially one that seems like it's going to be rushed like Vista.

The future version will have the fancy one, "Normal" a lite version which is similar to XP, and Classic.

That's 1,000 icons

FreeRAMXPPro monitors your RAM and can clear it up when it runs low. I've been running it for a long time and haven't had any problems with it. http://www.yourwaresolutions.com/software.html#framxpro

The closest I can remember offhand is going to Control Panel -> Mouse and making it so that the cursor is hidden while typing. I know there are ways to make it turn on and off at will, but those are somewhat complicated and I actually don't really remember/know how to do them.

The Web Creator is actually one of the more useful things to come from Google; the interface is very noob-friendly, many times more so than Geocities. I'm actually making a club website for my high school using it, but plan on doing the major html and more advanced stuff in DreamWeaver.

I think Tarun's post pretty much summed up the generalization of emo-MySpace weirdos. Blogger/Blogspot is better But I'm too lazy to keep one up (I did have one for... 2 posts or so!)

You can always change it if you want to

I've got one of the discs that they use for hard drives (Dad picked it up at his work @ Hitachi)... nice and shiny, could use it as a mirror

I'm pretty sure it had something to do with the docklet I was using (vuMeter from Dockex.com) I've been fooling around with ResHacker, but I've only had marginal success. I basically wanted to use it to change colors on various themes/msstyles, since whenever I change it in the Appearance applet, nothing happens to the actual style (in themes with 'glass effect' style task bars) Know of a tutorial or useful site to learn how to use it?

I was thinking about trying rocket dock... i've tried OD and RK Launcher, but I stopped using RK because it crashed multiple times, and at least you can back up your settings in OD... do you know if Rocket Dock can do that? Also, what do you use for modifying your shell32? ResHacker?
