  1. I change my desktop nearly every month...

     

    How about Winamp? You've got an old version installed.

     

    Mine, nothing much has changed since I posted it a while back on the forums.

  2. Another free program to go along with it is Windows XP Vitural CD Drive you can mount a vitural drive and then the iso image and run the software game or install programs without having to put a disc in your computer. Especially handy for installing mutiple CD programs and alot faster than the original CD drive.

    I'll give it a try later on by removing some of my bloated apps ("Office 2003, etc.,) and setting them up as a virtual cd.

  3. I image it would make the installer / program size quite a bit larger, but they wouldn't have to be real hi-rez images.

     

    Not necessarily any bigger at all, well maybe only a few bytes for the code because it could just pull and autosize the icons down and display them from the already installed application just like Explorer does.

  4. Maybe it needs to be downloaded three times and installed for all users

     

    Not very helpful information.

     

     

    Wow that sounds easy thanks.

    Now If I understand you correctly .

    I go to the Admin User that has CCleaner installed,and I send a shortcut to my desktop,

    then I right click the Start key(explore all users) and Drag/copy or Drag/move

    that new shortcut(2) to the other Users desktop.

    Or as you say place in a folder

    Did I get It correctly?

     

    To make things quick and easy just do this:

     

    1. Start a command prompt (start, run, cmd.exe)

    2. Paste into the command prompt window the following parameters:

    move "%userprofile%\desktop\ccleaner.lnk" "%allusersprofile%\desktop"

    3. Done!

  5. Dell is good about giving a Resource CD will all the software on it, more than likely the installer is on it somewhere. Reinstall it then attempt an uninstall immediately afterwords and it may be removable.

     

    Edit: BTW most .msi installers have a comment in them when right clicking them which plainly states what the installer is e.g.; Jasc.....

  6. I personally manually delete those $NtUninstall....$ folders every so often.

    You do however need to be careful of some of those you may delete, for instance if you install Windows Media Connect from Microsoft Update you "may not" be able to uninstall it if you delete the $NtUninstallWMCSetup$ folder.

  7. So two different registry cleaners find the same "faulty" shortcuts, and suggest removal? Perhaps then, Windows is to blame? Or do both cleaners coincidently have the same error?

     

    I don't know if it's the fault of Windows or both cleaners but it's only a small handful of shortcuts.

  8. On my Admin account I uncheck in CCleaner's Issues to check for invalid shortcuts because it does list some that are valid in the 'All Users\Start Menu', however EasyCleaner also finds the exact same shortcuts - but neither program lists the valid shortcuts on my normal users account as strange as that may seem.

     

    It helps to look at the list of files that were found before actually committing to the removal process, it's called common sense.

  9. (Forget about "owning" anything you download), etc.

     

    Surprise; any audio CD a consumer "buys" isn't really their property, they've only bought a license to use it an unlimited amount of times. Now let's say someone "buys" an audio CD and rips it to mp3's, they can listen to those mp3's all they want - however if they sell the original audio CD or give it away they no longer have the right to keep the encoded mp3's since they've forfeited/voided the purchase by getting rid of the original audio CD. I know it's completely silly.

  10. google, is going to release the "Goo", their attempt at topping the ps3, and xbox 360

     

    Uh huh, and it will be the first console consumers can change the shape of by popping it in the microwave for 30 seconds, it's also indestructible unless of course it's eaten however eating it will void the warranty. Early rumors state that it will ship in a Campbell's? Soup can since Campbell's? will be manufacturing "Goo" through a joint venture. There's also speculation that "Goo" may just be a development name, and it could receive a final name of Dirty Rotten Manwich ("DRM") for short if Hunts? decides to join the venture. There's another rumour that Silly Putty is unhappy, they really wanted to manufacture "Goo" since they are really good a making goo.

  11. I have to agree with Eldmannen. Moreover I personally wouldn't want the uninstall list in a category for once reason; an alphabetized list is fast an easy to find a software entry in versus trying to find it in a said category.

  12. For backups I use a homemade batch file that automagically copies with verification. A batch file can do some powerful stuff like delete junk files beforehand either by specifying what to delete or by calling CCleaner.exe /AUTO, virus scan, Contig, etc.

  13. If she downloaded it from an untrusted source (phony antispyware website, P2P, etc.) it's possible. Also if the download goes through an infected computer between her connection and the website it can get infected that way.

  14. I suspect you're using Foobar2000. ;)

    If not pay no attention to what I posted below. :rolleyes:

     

    I have no ideal if this will work! It will disable the ability to stream music over the Internet

    1. Look in the "foobar2000\components" directory.

    2. Rename "foo_read_http.dll" to something like "foo_read_http.dl_"

    3. Run your Netstat test again.
