i'm talking about the Folder view and not the taskbar.

huh?

Space

The Big Bang

so how do you have the sidebar on top?

which skin is that?

you have to do something like %currentuser%(won't work) or something else. if you want it for all users, then you do, C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\...

i've tried it once but i didn't really like it.

NSIS is a good program for making instalations too

if you're looking for something that stores everything that was made via "Copy", then i don't think that functionality exists in WinXP. however there are some program that can do this.

i can do it

mr.brownstone: on the screenshot with Axl Rose(or w/ever that was), were you using QuickTime?

i'm sorry for asking but, what is that? it looks like a setup for an e-mail client.

he uses IE. can't you tell just by looking at the titlebar? also he just modded LE5 to his needs. i also own a version similar to his but mine doesn't have the options on top. instead it has it on the left.

uses a modded version of Luna Element 5(not exactly like mr.brownstone's but close) also uses CD Art Display RC4 with foobar2000(which uses a winamp emulator plugin) also uses AveDesk with 4 shortcut widgets and it also uses RK Launcher which i've found to be better than ObjectDock edit: also i'm using Opera with an IE7 skin.

do you have any proof? right now, you're only told us that there friends of yours put them on random comps and they messed up the registry along with other things. you haven't even told us what the damage was. if you go on saying that we are false when we are acually right, then what's going to happen is everyone will hate you and you'll go to hell (just kidding about the last part).

the programs that you use are supposed to save that stuff. if they don't, it's because they weren't made to.

...in the second post you stated that the harddrive was running out of space

the voice recording software that you use is what you need to configure. the temp folder is just a folder. nothing more. you have to manually delete the stuff in there. dial-a-fix can do this.

i agree with you on the fact that spybot or ad-aware don't catch everything, but i personally would recommend spybot over ad-aware. first of all, it might use less memory because it isn't skinned, it has TeaTimer which has better registry handling than Ad-Watch(it was a nightmare when i used it), it has an Immunization feature(which i'm not sure works but it's still nice to have it), and i just like it better. also another thing that a LOT of users don't like to do is scan the comp with anti-spyware or even anti-virus programs because it takes a long time(up to 1 or 2 hours). so just blocking the stuff before it gets to the comp is sooo much better than waiting to scan and then get rid of it.

security? winamp IIRC, is pretty secure. but it uses soooo much resources and most skins suck for it(including the default). the only player that i recommend is foobar2000(with a few plugins). here's an SS of my desktop and foobar.

accually it's not. Ad-Aware is a useless and bloated application. Ad-Watch also sucks. I personally recommend Spybot over it(with current Updates, an Immunized system, TeaTimer, and the IE Plugin)

keep AVG but get rid of Ad-Aware.

Winamp is EVIL!!!!

sounds like some kind of bug with Firefox. thank god i don't use it . btw: you might wanna check if its been filed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?&product=Firefox
