I just tested it using metapad, and it didn't. However just right click the systray icon, then choose 'Open spelling window' to input words you may think are incorrect and it will give suggestions. Hmm, whilst typing this info in the systray icon changed colours, needs more investigating to find out if it does offer real-time suggestions.

Cool, no more opening MS Word to check spelling. This deserves to be listed in the pinned freeware section.

A ZoneAlarm temporary file, it can't be deleted when ZoneAlarm is running.
You can add the Realplayer history directory to the custom folders cleaning option.

If you want it at your preferred size:
1. Open Microsoft Paint, click Image->Attributes->Input the size you want.
2. Click Edit->Paste From->Browse to the image
3. Manually center it, and then save as a new file.

I searched high and low for it yesterday using Google and some online stores and couldn't find jack. Perhaps you should contact the people who wrote the article for information about it.

I previously used it when Jouni provided it as freeware however he decided to go commercial. I used the freeware version up until it timed-out. It's a powerful tool "maybe too powerful" and definately isn't even nearly as safe as CCleaner. It has many options that can mess up a system without even trying.
JV is Jouni's initials for Jouni Vuorio, hence the program name JV 16 PowerTools. Not bad for a very young and very smart programmer.

I remember the games. Those pics would suggest that guy might have too much time on his hands, or he has too much time and way too many spare parts, nonetheless it's sort of interesting.

The obvious way to avoid the dirt in the first place would be to use a plastic keyboard cover -- which allows the usage of the keyboard without ever removing the cover.

First of it is now twice you have said "Case CLOSED."this is a discussion and i find it rude of you to say that.
I thought the way your post was picked apart and corrected was rude, but what do I know, just my observation. I was gonna make a comment about it earlier but decided to leave well enough alone.
Just shake hands and make up!

Are you talking about the Quick Launch toolbar, or the Systray next to the clock?
-
I use the Exit button.
Me too.

Thank you! Good Stuff MrG! Amazing, once installed it's only 5,966 bytes larger.

Just don't be like the guy who washed his keyboard in the bathtub and then wondered why it stopped working.

Burrrn
Audio CD authoring software that's very easy to use.
Yet another impressive freeware program from Gambit. A small download that doesn't install any adware, malware, spyware, or viruses. If you don't know which package to download get the installer version.
Taken from the Readme.txt file:
Burrrn is a little tool for burrrning audio CDs with CD-Text from various audio files. Supported formats are: wav, mp3, mpc, ogg, aac, mp4, ape, flac, ofr, wv, tta, m3u, pls and fpl playlists and cue sheets. You can also burrrn EAC's noncompliant image + cue sheets! Burrrn can read all types of tags from all these formats (including ape tags in mp3). Burrrn uses cdrdao.exe for burrrning.
---
Other features I found:
* Burn-Proof:
Buffer underrun protection for drives that have that feature.
* Intelligent Write Speed Selection:
If the Window has the write speed set at 16x and you insert a 4x CD-RW disc it will intelligently and properly adjust the write speed accordingly.
* Quick Erase, and Full Erase support for CD-RW discs. You can use Burrrn to fully erase CD-RW discs which is something some commercial CD authoring software doesn't include. What this means is you can be sure with a full erase that the disc is put back in a "like new state." This greatly reduces the chance of corrupted files when you wish to create data CD's containing critical backups with a data CD authoring program.
* Doesn't write 2 second gaps in-between tracks. Meaning if you burrrn a live performance it will playback gapless without pauses in-between the various tracks.

What I really want is to just have windows media player and then instead of another player or a codec pack just the specific codecs that I require. I like to stick to a rule not to have no more then 1 app for a specific task i.e. 2 media players 2 browsers etc. Before I started sticking to that rule my pc had tons of apps all of which done more or less the same thing.
Makes perfect sense, since many apps will try to steal file associations without warning, or the occassional click-it without really paying attention to what the dialog reads can be an annoying occassional application induced user error.

ZoneAlarm temporary files. Can't be deleted when ZoneAlarm is running, EasyCleaner will pause for a long time and display they can't be deleted when ZoneAlarm is running, however CCleaner quickly ignores them without some lengthy delay:
C:\WINDOWS\Temp\ "ZLT00a68.TMP, ZLT01594.TMP, ZLT02105.TMP"
Add to CCleaner's custom folders cleaning option to clean this folder since it isn't being taken care of:
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\Recent\
Perhaps a resident program such as SpywareGuard, since it creates similiarly named temp files which are always 16.0 KB (16,384 bytes), SpywareGuard always creates two of them. I've also seen other programs create similiarly named files however I don't remember what they are at the moment:
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Temp\~DF1790.tmp

I don't know if these assumptions are correct or not, however about the only other things I can even think of are:
* Insufficient provileges on your user profile that restrict the editing of the system registry.
* QuickTime is running when you are attempting to clean the Recent Movies entries.

Is there any freeware or commercial software that can turn DVD-Video recordings made with my home DVD recorder into a single file on my hard disk without the meriad of .vob files, etc.? Also can such software edit out the commercials?
Exactly what I want to do is take my favourite T.V. shows and put them on my hard disk for later viewing, I'm not interested in making another DVD, doing anything illegal, or anything like that.

I was wondering how useful the Microsoft Windows XP Windows File Checker is, and would appreciate expert opinions from the likes of DjLizard and Tarun.
I've ran it twice on my system since December 2003, and today it did restore some original Microsoft protected system files.
WinXP Windows File Checker info and description can be seen by starting a command prompt and typing in: sfc /?

The same info that rridgely posted, about 1 to 2 years. It's just an estimate.
What I know so far from reading about it is that HD DVD "will" able to have 8 hours of video at "high quality, high definition".
Here's some info (old as of now):
-
There's the possibility that the settings are stored and/or duplicated elsewhere, I've seen this happen on my system for no apparent reason, and don't know why it happens.
I do however know after dealing with it using EAC that the settings original location had no effect whatsoever, I could delete them, and edit them and nothing would take place because the settings were no longer being read from the original location.
For example (I've seen this on my system):
An app may store its settings normally/originally in
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software" or "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software"
and then out of nowhere the settings are auto-magically moved into
"HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-4067281427-51602624-102226825-1008\Software"

Mr QuestionMan
This is a very useful and impressive program that is freeware. A small download that doesn't install any adware, malware, spyware, or viruses. If you don't know which package to download get the installer version.
Information below was taken from the Readme.txt file:
Description:
Mr QuestionMan is an audio inspector. You can browse through your audio collection and it will show you useful information, like average bitrate, used encoder and settings, etc.
It supports many audio formats:
MPEG Audio (mp3), Musepack (mpc), WAV (wav), TwinVQ (vqf), Ogg Vorbis (ogg), Windows Media Audio (wma), AAC (aac), Speex (spx), Monkey's Audio (ape), WavPack (wv), FLAC (flac), TrueAudio (tta), OptimFROG (ofr), AC3 (ac3) and DTS (dts).

DVD-RAM drive comparisons:
http://www.google.com/search?q=dvd-ram+drive+comparisons
I wouldnt get one of those actually. Mostly because in about 1-2 years the new HD DVDs and Blu Ray DVDs will be out and those drives will be obsolete.I agree about the waiting part. I should have waited before getting a home dvd recorder, hence the 2 hour SP mode and 1 hour XP mode really aren't good enough quality for me since I can see the compression, or is it called compression errors. However, current DVD technology which has already reduced in price will be even less expensive when HD, and Blu Ray are released, some already are I got my buggy JVC home dvd recorder for $299 USD. Also when HD, and Blu Ray are released they are supposed to be backwards compatible, however older devices won't be able to play the new format.
---
Don't get a JVC home dvd recorder they have a weird loading bug and will refuse to erase/format DVD-RW's after they've already been erased/formatted a few times.
If you cant spell read this!

Good description rridgely, I was starting to wonder how this thing was supposed to work.
