The thread topic bothers me "Better than winamp?" because from what I've seen in the past allot of things in QA seem to be copied from Winamp.

Blah (if only there was a hurl emoticon). I've used Quintessential Player before on many occasions only to find the volume control broken, and various other annoying factors that always sent me flying back to Winamp. I honesty don't think anything will ever replace Winamp for me as long as I use MS Windows.

I also don't think you need it especially since you have 1 GB of RAM. Some caution needs to be used with the RAM refresh/defrag programs as I remember a few years ago when some of them were messing up systems when users were trying to free too much RAM. Edit: For some reason I've noticed over the past few years that running Ad-Aware's smart scan seems to refresh the memory.

I actually think the online virus scanner is pretty good, albeit it gave me one false positive. I don't know what the virus scanning technology is based upon, however Microsoft did acquire RAV Antivirus one or two years ago. The online virus scanner is one of the few that can actually scan inside of RAR archives. It's also a fast virus scanner which reminds me of eTrust EZ Antivirus. Forget about the cleanup tool it has, it doesn't find anything that CCleaner doesn't already find. --- Hopefully this is just the beginning of something really useful from Microsoft. I'd love to see Microsoft release a downloadable program that will combine virus scanning, and antispyware all in one application, and of course be free of charge.

Trend Micro CWShredder 2.19 released Download the standalone .exe (520 kb) from FileHippo.com, MajorGeeks.com or TrendMicro.com, or use the integrated update manager built into CWShredder to download the zip package (242 kb) from Trend Micro. None of the downloads included any documentation! Strangely enough this new version is the same size as the old one byte for byte. Edit: Added an additional download site.

Lol. "Dear sir the Earth is round." "The hell it is, it's flat."

Perhaps an issue: The startup scan for Windows doesn't automatically exit the application after the scanning is done. Is that intended to be that way or not, since I noticed the startup parameter is using the /s switch which I assume is meant to represent silent. Definite issues: * Deep Scan finishes just as quickly as the Smart Scan on my system; WinXP Pro SP2. * Some (not all) HOSTS file blocked sites that are in the proper format (I double checked): 127.0.0.1 ? ? ? localhost are seen as a hijacked HOSTS file. Please note: 127.0.0.1 localhost listed in the code above is just what I used as an example.

MrG the CCleaner developer has already eluded to the inclusion of secure file deletion in this post. Just give it some time before CCleaner will securely delete files in a future version.

Save this into winapp2.ini. If you don't have a winapp2.ini file create it. winapp2.ini is in the same folder as ccleaner.exe: [Opera 8 (Single User)]LangSecRef=3027Detect=HKCU\Software\Opera SoftwareDefault=TrueFileKey1=%ProgramFiles%\Opera\profile|COOKIES4.DATFileKey2=%ProgramFiles%\Opera\profile|cookies4.dat.sbsd.bakFileKey3=%ProgramFiles%\Opera\profile|GLOBAL.DATFileKey4=%ProgramFiles%\Opera\profile|OPERA6.ADR.SBSD.BAKFileKey5=%ProgramFiles%\Opera\profile\CACHE4|*.*FileKey6=%ProgramFiles%\Opera\profile\cacheOp|*.* Edit: Also get into the habit of installing programs into their default directory that their setup program suggests, since that's where CCleaner will look to clean their litter.

It's edible.

Mmm Thanksgiving is arriving soon and I will eat Pumpkin Pie. Can't forget the Cool Whip.

Hey add it to your list of things to use some C4 on.

WMP becoming crap is your opinion. Newer versions have so much more functionality over 6.x since people can rip audio (insecurely, and hopefully not .wma) and have a good database of what they've ripped readily available.

You're not to far off however the Notepad replacement metapad can open with formatting MS Word saved .doc files. that have been saved as 'Word 97-2003 &6.0/95 - RTF (*.doc)'. It can open Word 2003 formatted files however the file formatting will be completely lost, and as Eldmannen already stated you may be able to extract from the file. It probably wouldn't hurt to give Wordpad/Write a try to see what they can get from the file.

If you're creating a scheduled task via Windows Scheduled Tasks just create a link to normally run ccleaner.exe. Then edit the program to run so that the parameter looks like this (including the quotes): "C:\Program Files\CCleaner\ccleaner.exe" /AUTO You'd use the same parameter if you wanted to create for instance a desktop icon, or All Users startup folder link to automatically and silently run CCleaner.

Isn't pumpkin in the squash family? Is squash a fruit?

Ha ha ha! This takes the cake, talk about freakin' funny!

I myself don't prefer it, I can't stand the OS rot that eventually allows it to self destruct, and the overall sluggish performance would suggest if Win98 had feet it would constantly trip all over its own feet. I do however miss not having a DOS mode in NT based OSes formatted with NTFS for the simple fact that a DOS mode allows for easy removal of some nasty stuff, and since there's a plethora of DOS tools that I miss on a daily basis.

It all sounds kind of fruity.

I'd rather eat apples and bananas instead of "listening" to them.

Now stuff is really getting to sound more like piracy is being considered like murder. I can only imagine watching the news when someone is convicted of Attempted Piracy and give 25 years to life for it. Captain James Hook must be laughing in his grave at the sound of such two words: Attempted Piracy

* Look at the bottom of the page here * CCleaner Help * This thread basicially asks the same questions.

256 MB Ram on an XP system is half of what is recommended and what most computer manufacturers ship as default. However I'd recommend at least 1 GB of Ram if your system will support that much, that is after you run your virtual memory test.

I don't know exactly how it will/does work, however it's probably a chip in the units that allow for such behavior. Also my JVC home dvd recorders user manual also states that some broadcasts may only be recordable once or not at all due to copying limitations. Edit: It's probably the copy-protection chip in the units. Unlike old VCR's when you'd try to dub a VHS tape in your collection the picture would be distorted, well with many modern digital recording devices it won't let you dub such copy-protected programs at all from for instance a VHS tape.

Speaking of the whole DRM issue, I remember reading awhile back where broadcast television in the future will be able to block and not allow devices such as hard drive recorders and dvd recorders from recording certain programs. The strange thing is I've already encountered this twice on my JVC home dvd recorder when it has stated that some parts of a broadcast couldn't be recorded.
