    Forum appearance changes

    in CCleaner

    Posted

    What has happened to the forum?

    Now when you click on a subject you cannot see all the posts. You have to then click on yet another link.

    When you go on the forum the next day you are going to have to click on lots of links just to read the thread. For people with slow computers this could be a long job.

     

    Why the change? I don't see much benfit from it.

    Hello there cowboy,

    Go to start>programs>accessories>system tools>system restore.

    Pick the option for setting a system restore point and click next.

    Choose a name for the restore point so you can find it easy if you need to, and click on create. Click close to finish

     

     

    EDIT. Woody beat me to it!

    Hello Blue,

    When you do file >save as >in paint make sure you save it as a .jpg

    Go to imageshack, click browse, find file, and then click host it.

    In the options given, click once in the 2nd one.

    This will highlight the text. Right-click on the highlighted text and chose copy.

    Come back to your post in the forum message box and click paste.

    I have no idea if this is what you are wanting arron, but here is a site which tells you how to set levels of access when sharing files with others.

    Read down a bit to get to it, it's an interesting read anyway

    EDIT

    This is a better page I think, as you will read, you cannot password protect shares in xp only xp pro. This explains how to do it.

    RE: Preventing shortcuts from forming

    in CCleaner

    Posted

    If you're talking about Recent Documents there's two ways of dealing with them other than using CCleaner, these are WinXP instructions:

     

    Already built into WinXP:

    1. Right click the start button and select Properties.
    2. Then click the tab Start Menu and select Customize.
    3. On the tab General you can set the number of programs on the Start Menu to 0, which will stop WinXP from placing a shortcut to recently used programs on the Start Menu. You can also press Clear List to have what's already listed removed.
    4. On the tab Advanced untick 'List my recently opened documents'. You can also press Clear List to have the current list removed.

    How to auto-clean histories using Microsoft Tweak UI:

    1. In Tweak UI click Explorer, and then tick 'Clear document history on exit'. This will cause Explorer to clear the Recent Documents list, Start->Run history, and URL ("website") history when you shutdown, restart, or log off.
    2. Click Apply to enable the setting, and OK to exit Tweak UI.

    They are good tips I didn't know about.
