  1. I would like nothing better than to post a linking thumbnail of large pics in my posts, however I have no idea how and nobody seems willing to tell me whenever I ask, like it's a Masonic Lodge secret or something, and trying to see how it's done by implementing the 'quote' feature doesn't reveal much either, so here are a few pics the old fashioned url way.

    old desktop with Apophysis running

    new desktop

    an oldie but goodie

     

    If anyone can tell me how to 'thumbnail' pics in posts without incurring the wrath of Number One please let me know. Thank you. ;)

    Dennis, eh? Please impart. :huh:

  2. If you right click the icon of the program you are trying to install, there should be a "run as" command. If you select this option, it brings up a diaglog box with two options. The first to run it as the currently logged in use and the second to run it as another use.

     

    If you choose the second option, it should default to COMPUTERNAME\ADMINISRATOR....then all you need to do is type in the Administrators password and it should work.

     

    I'm gonna give that a try when I get back to my sis's house tonight. Thanks! :)

  3. I don't think CC uninstalls at a deeper level than the Control Panel. Uninstall from CC just brings up each programs' usual uninstaller.

     

    What CC is 'picking up' after uninstalls are deeper registry bits. I had the same thing happen after I uninstalled a trial version of Adobe CS3. It took up 2 whole screens' worth of CS3 MSI entries that had no way of being deleted. But they're tiny and don't affect the system at all.

  4. I'm just an average user of CC but if you're not sure, run System Restore (on XP) to create a System Restore point before you run CCleaner just to be on the safe side. What it cleans may vary from user to user, depending on what applications and peripherals you have.

     

    The 2 main functions in CCleaner are 1)Cleaner and 2)Registry. Also in the Windows the Application tabs you'll have the choice of what to keep & what to ditch. Do you visit websites that keep your log name and password memorized for you? Then you might want to uncheck 'Cookies' for now so you won't have to hunt down names & passwords later. In Cleaner you can run "Analyze" and take a gander at what it's gathered for cleaning. Nothing is removed yet. Keep in mind there'll most likely be a ton of temporary internet cache composing the bulk of it if you don't currently have your browser running at the same time you run CC. (That's safe to give the ol' heave ho.) But look at the rest of it. See if you see any names of apps that you don't want to tamper with and uncheck them from the Windows or Application tabs as well, if they're listed. When you're satisfied press "Run Cleaner".

     

    The deeper app is Registry. I've never had a problem with this but maybe that's just me. From what I've seen from other reg cleaners this one is the safest. Run "Scan For Issues", look at what it targeted and what dysfunctional category they're listed under. Nothing is removed yet. Uncheck any things you see that make you a bit leery and run "Fix Selected Issues". You did remember to run System Restore earlier didn't you? :blink: Good. You're right as rain. Have a cookie.

     

    No, I'm not an Admin or a Moderator, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express.

     

    Oh, and yes it will take you a fair amount of time to learn all of CCs' little goodies, but not a humungous amount.

    If your PC is running just fine you don't 'need' to do a registry scan, but we do because all of our names are Felix Unger and we hate dirt. :P

  5. Thanks for the links! ;)

     

    Wow, that Revo is one cool intense app. :blink: Helped me get rid of all those "CS3 Photoshop trial" MSIs that kept ghost-flooding CCleaner for half a year.

     

    And QuickTime is toast! I can finally do a clean re-install. :D

  6. I bet a programmers' popularity would soar if they created an app who's sole purpose was to completely uninstall QuickTime (along with the 10 billion registry items it creates). God forbid you lose one item of QT. Good luck uninstalling or re-installing over it. You can't.
