  1. Eh, not right dude.

     

    The zip contains the installer.  So, that is the PR or whatever you wish to call it that has been leaked.  It's the same as the one link that gets emailed to people.

     

    What's not right? If you download ccsetup121.exe it will be an official version, if you download a zip file from a site with the exe in it, it will more than likely a beta. Because there is no real need in zipping it.

  2. Actually the samething happened with 1.20, I reported it awhile back. I will say this, there is a way to find out who it is. So, don't be surprised if you ever get a beta again. Beta was only sent out to 3 or 4 people. You could have possible ruined beta for everyone else, I hope you are happy.

  3. Are you even reading the posts lately?  You've been so far off.  She wants to know what the things and the settings do.

     

    Laura, anything you have a certain question about?  Give an example and we'll try to give an accurate reply.

     

     

     

     

    I thought that's what she meant, but I wasn't 100% sure. Have you read the Beginner's Guide yet? I know it doesn't explain everything in detail, but it might help.

  4. Ok, I will try to explain it...

     

    Registry

     

    Usually there will be a RecentList folder in the program registry. If not, it would be 1 registry key that does the samething as the RecentList folder but more compact.

     

    Files

     

    Usually you like for .log, .tmp, or files that the application creates as temp or stores information.

     

    You have to know Windows, the application, and the files it uses. Removing a wrong can cause real problems.

  5. FireDaemon is a utility that allows you to install and run virtually any native Win32 application or script (eg. BAT/CMD, Perl, Java, Python, TCL/TK) as a Windows NT, 2000, XP, 2003 & Longhorn service.
