Hey guys is there a software program or hack to help me save all of maybe 15 cookies that I always need to save at shut down? I've been using a program called cookies manager but it sucks cuz I always have to go in a periodically select and clean myself. If you ask me it helps but it's pointless, too. Please help

Never mind... I gave up on the project... I've come to the conclusion that (a.) My computer way to low on RAM to make video editing a full time hobby (B.) My DVD player will not play VCD anyway... so.... (c.) Looking to buy a good mid-range computer with all the bells and whistles.

I wish this was mine... it's got a cool look to it....

Not DVD but Dvd players. I can not figure this out for the life of me.... I had'nt done in years but now I'm trying to learn it again. I got the basic set up {just CD BIN} and I know it's possable but I just plain forgot. Do they only have to be in a MEG1 format always? Is there a setting that has to be set on my DVD player? If anyone can help out... thanks. One time I got sound but no picture.

CCleaner Cripples Application Load Times Author: Andrew Recently CCleaner has added an internet urban legend as a cleaning option, "Old Prefetch Data". Cleaning the Prefetch folder is an internet Myth that simply will not die due to the gross ignorance of many people in regards to how Windows XP Prefetching works. These same people generally recommend other bogus advice such as disabling Windows Prefetching completely and adding /Prefetch:1 to desktop shortcuts. "Bottom line: You will NOT improve Windows performance by cleaning out the Prefetch folder. You will, in fact, degrade Windows performance by cleaning out the Prefetch folder." - Source CCleaner for the most part is a good application, it quickly and easily removes temporary and unused files from Windows. It has a nice interface that clearly shows what has been "cleaned". On neglected systems this can free hundreds of Megabytes of harddisk space. Apparently in the authors quest to clean everything and anything, he blindly ignored how Prefetching works. What CCleaner does CCleaner deletes any Prefetch file older then two weeks based on the .pf file's last access date. This is completely idiotic for a number of reasons. First you should never delete a .pf for any installed application. With the .pf file missing, that application will take up to 100% more time to load when you decide to launch it. CCleaner does this to any application you have installed on your computer but have not used in over two weeks. It makes absolutely no sense to delete these files. Why would you deliberately want to slow down any installed application's load time? It will also do this if you have not used you computer for two weeks. Second, it is quite common to disable the NTFS Last Access Time Stamp for performance reasons. I actually recommend doing this since it speeds up the file system. In this case CCleaner will delete any .pf file that was created over two weeks ago. You can clearly see how running CCleaner in this case would wind up deleting ALL your Prefetch files every two weeks. Now you are crippling every application's load time on your system instead of just the ones you have not used in two weeks. Ridiculous! Conclusion Do not clean the prefetch folder! If you use CCleaner uncheck the "Old Prefetch Data" option. Finally let the makers of CCleaner know they need to remove this option from CCleaner. For more information read:

Looking for this but can't find it on my computer... where do I look? HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM

Thanks.... would a Disk Clean up run in my computer be just about the same as CCleaner?

I always clear my IE, no big deal but I never check the off line stuff because I didn't know if that contained cookies, or general files like pictures, music ect.... just didn't know.... what does it actually delete? Sorry if it's a dumb question.. but you gotta start somewhere.

Trying to adjust my Broadband... for optimum speed. They're asking me for my connection speed? Is the connection speed different than download speed or is it actually the same thing?

First off Hi, and I'm very pleased with how CCleaner and how it keeps my PC at top shape... Moving on. I need help trying to find the place on my computer where one can adjust the amount of information coming in by Cable to speed downloads up. I read it in a magazine {PC Utilities} and can't remember the term for it. I think it's PMB but that's wrong I know. The artical said something about PING what ever that is. If anyone has any Idea about what the hell I'm talking about, please post info. If not I'll have to end up paying the damn $12.99 for the MAg.
