Both Yokenny and myself have used this browser, (I used it for 6 months).
I also used it for about 6 months, and thought it was an excellent browser. In my opinion, it's the best of the many IE shells. This was before permanently switching to Opera and never looking back though.

That's really interesting. I thought you'd need at least 1 version of .NET Framework to get most software running. My XP came with 1.0 and 1.1, and I installed 2.0 a long time ago.
For what it's worth, I don't have .NET Framework installed at all on my Windows 2000 system and have never run into anything that I can't run. It doesn't seem like all that many apps need it.

Just one thought is the task bar/system tray right click "Properties\Customize". I've ocassionally had system tray icons reverting to "Always Hide" for some still unknown reason. What is your battery icon set at in the customize window?
This is on my older Windows 2000 machine, so there are no options for hiding icons in the system tray.
I just realized that it doesn't take a reboot to make it disappear...sometimes just logging off and back on will do it.
This isn't a huge deal, it's just that I fear it might be indicative of a more serious problem.
Thanks for taking the time to help with this.

Thanks Dennis. First of all, the topic should say "problem."
I did a full system scan with MBAM which found no malware, and HiJackThis doesn't show any problems. The weird thing is, this is a very inconsistent problem. 75% of the time, the icon will appear normally, but every once in a while, it won't pop up. This problem may or may not be related to malware. Any further ideas? -
I'm having a bit of a weird problem. I like to have the battery charge indicator in the system tray so it's easy to check the battery's charge status. Lately, every time I reboot, the icon disappears and I have to go back to Control Panel to turn it back on. This didn't use to happen. The only thing I can think of is I recently did a registry issue scan in CCleaner and it found three new entries in the system32 folder...one of them was pxwma.dll, and the other two were similar. That may be unrelated to this problem, but what can I do to keep the charge icon in the system tray even after a reboot? Thanks!

FYI, you can do nearly the same thing in Opera can going to "opera:config."

I'm wondering why less sensitive data of Opera is cleaned than other browsers. Internet Explorer, Firefox, and even the recently released Chrome have more data cleaned by CCleaner than Opera....basic things like download and form history. Why is this, and will these features be included in a future release of CCleaner?
EDIT: the topic should read "Why is LESS data cleaned from Opera"
-
Very cool idea, thanks for sharing that! I can confirm that this works in Windows 2000 as well.

The SIW Standalone (English-Only) is not a valid Windows application.
What does that mean? I'm using the standalone version right now without problems.

Thanks for posting this. Thus far, I've used Auslogics System Information, but this seems a little more feature rich. Thanks!
-
I didn't know that. That's an awesome feature which i personally would find VERY useful. Thanks for that!
No problem! If you need help getting Opera Mini working on your phone let me know. It can be tricky because not all phones support J2ME (like Verizon Wireless non-smartphones), some carriers brand their phones in such a way that Java apps are blocked form having network access, and you'll need an appropriate data plan.

One thing I forgot to mention regarding why I use Opera is because of the excellent mobile browser Opera Mini. It allows full web browsing on your phone with a zoom ability that makes web pages look exactly as they do on your PC (especially on a QVGA display and higher). If you also use the desktop version of Opera, then you can use Opera Link to automatically sync all your bookmarks with your phone...a very useful feature.

I understand preference, but many people who claim to love Firefox and hate Opera are just buying into the fad....the type who will go after whatever is popular. Opera is just as good as Firefox, it's just different. In some ways it is better. Praising Firefox and hating Opera has become the "in" thing to do, so that's what some people do. Then there are some who have tried Opera and given it a chance, but couldn't get used to it's differences. That's understandable, but doesn't mean that Firefox is better....again, just different.

Thanks for the heads up!

Happy Opera user here.
Same here. Three cheers for the safest browser!

As the title says! Wow, a Google product that's not in the beta stage.

I'm posting this on Opera 10, and it is FAST. If anyone wants a blazingly fast browser, one even faster than Google Chrome, give version 10 a try. Even all you Firefox fanboys should think about it.

Thirteen-year-old Opera has been the perennial underdog in the browser wars, but Opera 10 alpha brings some unexpected firepower to the field. Unlike Google Chrome, Firefox 3, or any other browser on the market except for Safari 4 Developer Preview, Opera 10 will comply fully with the Acid3 test, according to the Norwegian publisher
Underdog? Unexpected firepower? Do I sense some anti-Opera sentiment from CNET? Obviously...
The only thing that could possibly make Opera an underdog is popularity.
In my own Acid3 tests using Opera 9.62, I get 85/100, so if version 10 gets a perfect 100/100 that will be cool. It's also cool to hear that in-line spell checking will be included. I've been using Aspell which works great, but in-line will be better.
A decent spell checker, and maybe some day soon an Opera version of McAfee Site Advisor, would be great additions to an already great browser.Unfortunately that may not happen. Opera's Widget engine is not able to interface with the browser in the same way that Firefox's extensions are. Opera Widgets are essentially separate apps that perform a function irrelevant to the web page you're currently visiting (unlike Firefox with NoScript, SiteAdvisor, etc).
-
While I don't agree with much of that list, I do agree with the top spot. I don't have much experience with Safari or Chrome, but after using Firefox and IE for many years, Opera now beats them out by a wide margin. The "browser wars" will go on forever though.

The only thing I use is Cleanmem.
Download: (Freeware-Softpedia)
I don't have it set to any schedule. I simply run it from a Quick Launch shortcut if anything is hanging onto memory, and things like Windows Explorer tend to do that. After running a few programs, have a look at Task Manager before and after you run this.
That's exactly what I do as well.
I try to stay way from sites like Softpedia. Here is the developer's site: http://www.pcwintech.com/node/145.

Also,
Security Update for Windows 2000 (KB955069)
Security Update for Windows 2000 (KB957097)
Security Update for Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 (KB954430)

It will be nice to see the 'Winapp2.ini' becoming part of the setup file.
I hope that Developers will pay attention to the need for more Third-party-Application Cleaning.
I think more 3rd party apps should be added too. People can always uncheck the box if they don't want something cleaned. Competing cleaners offer more 3rd party cleaning by default, so I think it would be benefit CCleaner to do the same. CCleaner is still the safest and best though.

Fully tried and tested with Windows 98/NT4/ME/2000/XP/2003/Vista.

According to the CCleaner developers, Windows 2000 is fully supported, so this feature should work on Win2k as well. It would be nice to get a comment from a developer that this issue has been acknowledged and confirmed. If not, perhaps CCleaner.com should be edited to only include Windows XP and newer as supported operating systems.

Classy. So what's next? Restore the DB from the latest backup? What are the chances of catching the fool(s)...will there be a consequences?
New search engine.

It's very easy to add as a search engine in Opera. Just right click and select "create search."
