I am using a Logitech MX610 Laser Cordless mouse. It has 12 buttons I program and I use every one of them every day. Most of them don't work without the software. I couldn't live without my tilt wheel for horizontal scroll and that doesn't work without the software. Besides as you can see I am light on resources even with the mouse software.

I did some paring of my own recently. If it wasn't for my mouse, touch pad, and antivirus there would be nothing. My total running processes. I don't think I can cut any more. Two of them (Process Explorer and Fastone Capture) are only running because I took this srceen shot.

Maybe I'm mssing something but I didn't see any zip file. The download was a setup exe.

JDPower and hazlenut, I have used those 3 as well.

Thats how I have disabled mine. Haven't used a screen saver in years. I just set it to none and go into power options and set the screen to shut off in about 15 min.

1) I like to tinker that's why I have 6 browsers. 2) No browser comes with everything so addons are nice to personalize the browser. 3) Opera does not support addons but there are hundreds of "custom buttons" that really add to the features of Opera. Aspell also works well in Opera so I have a good spell checker. 4) I don't get what you mean about Opera's start bar. I use side bars for book marks. Opera lets me put it on the right as does the Firefox addon All In One Side Bar. 5) We are in agreement 6) All my browsers are fast on cable. It's just that Safari is making a big deal about how much faster it is when at best it was equal and in the case of IE7 it was actually slower.

I would be interested in why you think that. Here are a few of my reasons I think Safari is worse. 1)Not very configurable. Couldn't move things around like I want to. Try Opera and you will know what configurable is all about. Maxthon 2 also. 2)No add blocking or support for a addon to block it. IE7 has IE7 Pro 3)No support for any addons period. Since Safari is so basic it needs it. No spell check, as mentioned no add block, no Google Tool Bar etc. 4) I hate the book marks. I could not find a button to open them in the side bar unless I had the links bar showing which I don't want. 5) Poor tab options. Not much control over what I can do with them. 6) Speed was overrated. IE7 is most definitely faster. I find IE7 faster than Firefox even. I did like the Snap Back feature. Also like the skin but I can get Mac skins for Opera, Firefox, and Maxthon that look even better than the one on Safari. Over all I find it to be very limiting and basic. I can't think of a single reason to use it. Understand I have 6 browsers installed that I use regularly. 2 versions of Opera, 2 versions of Maxthon, IE7 with IE7 Pro, and of course Firefox 2 with 13 extensions. I have also used Flock, Avant, Slim browser, Crazy browser, Green browser, K melon, IE6 and a few lesser known ones.

It doesn't get much more simple than IE. I don't like Avant but it has much more features than IE. Safari was the only browser I have used that sucks worse than IE.

I did read the file key and reg key info but just wanted a clearer explanation. It gives me a good idea of what and where but not exactly what it cleans. For example MS Windows wall paper. Obviously it has something to do with the desktop wall paper but what exactly does it do? Does it wipe out the wall paper you are using or what? I won't be cleaning something I don't fully understand.

MS Windows Wall Paper More Windows Explorer MUI Cache MS Config Config. msi. folder What exactly is cleaned with these?

I found Safari to be worse than IE7 and that is bad. Comparing Safari to Firefox there just is no comparison. Not even close. Mozilla has nothing to worry about from Safari.

Do your self a favor and check this screen shot tool out. Makes taking screen shots simple as can be. It also has an editor in it. This is the last free ware version of it. http://www.aplusfreeware.com/categories/mm...oneCapture.html There is also a portable version that requires no install and you can run of a USB drive. A member of this forum was nice enough to provide it for me. Here is the thread and link to the app. http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=10753

I like space shots. This site has hundreds of them. http://www.spacewallpapers.net/

I also don't like how Avant hi jacks your default browser setting. Even though I select not to set Avant as default it sets itself as default.

Thank You that's what I was looking for. Looks like that is from your personal site. I guess it''s not available anymore but the full installer version still is. I will save this.

Does anybody know a site that I can down load Faststone Screen Capture 5.3 ( the last free ware version) portable. I have gone to some of the usual sites for older software but I can only get the full installer version of this app. I would like the portable version of this that does not require an install.

Never mind. I went in to display settings and played around with the advanced settings and reduce the font and bar size. Never really cared since it disappears in full screen.

I see your point. I am bored and playing around in case you didn't notice.

Are you referring to the Title Bar? I didn't really notice that. I am in full screen mode 99% off the time and it disappears. Is there a way to decrease the size of the text there without messing the text size every where else?

My Opera shots where not really showing the whole thing. Opera lets you hide tool bars with a simple click. I created my own Google Bar for Opera since Google doesn't make one for it. I used some custom buttons and searches from the Opera Wiki and turned the "View Bar" into a Google Bar Heres Opera with the "Start Bar" showing. Can't forget good old IE7. Not much you can do with this.

I am interested in seeing how people have their browsers set up. I was looking at the Desk Top thread and it gave me this idea. This is Firefox with the Modern Modoki theme This is Firefox with Noia This is Opera with the Lix theme This is Opera with the standard theme Maxthon 1 with the Media Player 10 theme Maxthon 2 with the Cold theme Maxthon 2 with the Flock Browser theme

I tried this out for a few hours and it's buggy. It was better before and I didn't like it than. Drag and drop just doesn't work half the time. The full screen mode is a problem to. It doesn't return the browser to the same config I had it before I selected full screen. Ad block is not very good either. Misses a lot of stuff and adding to the black list is a pain. No more right click and add to black list like it had before. There are some other things to but I am going to pass on Avant again.

Did this problem happen just from cleaning or did it happen after fixing "issues"?
