[Firefox 3 Final]

If you remove FF3 you "may" be able to reinstall FF2 with everything intact, but don't quote me on that.

 

When I removed FF3 I opted to do a clean install, then I restored all my settings from a backup.

 

Actually I didn't wait for tomorrow, I'm now using Opera 9.50, and so far I'm liking it, however I have the Maxthon 2 installer handy just in case I change my mind.

 

 

Would a system restore be an option??

 

 

OK just did another toolbar update and now have everything EXCEPT the back and forward buttons

[Firefox 3 Final]

I just installed FF3 but of my 2 profiles the one I use all the time is now missing the back and forward buttons. It is missing some other menu buttons as well. My other profile does have the items that I mention. Can I uninstall FF3 and get my FF2 back with my bookmarks and such in tact?? Or... because I use Febe do I reinstall FF2 and then do a FF2 backup?

 

Is it possible to move my bookmarks from one profile to another in FF3. Actually Maybe my entire profile. Febe 6 Beta wouldn't restore an older version of Febe

 

 

Thanks

[Vista permissions]

Hello

I have been using CCleaner quite a while now. I am running Vista with 5 log on user names. Of the 5 user names I have one user that may run CCleaner without getting a prompt for CCleaner to continue, all other user names get the usual Vista pop up asking permission. Is there a setting I'm missing to get total administrative rights to the other user names?

 

Thanks in advance

Tom

[How to provide better info in problem report, etc. ?]

If I understand you correctly I think an application such as Photobucket is what you're after. It will create a thumbnail picture that opens when clicked on.

Good luck to you

[Disabling UAC in Vista]

and how can I get to Security settings? Local security options

[Disabling UAC in Vista]

Ok this does work better. I only get the "Shield" X'd out in red. Otherwise pretty good. I would think it would go back to the default setting after I reboot. Guess I'll see

 

 

Thanks

[Disabling UAC in Vista]

i didnt reboot. just installed and BANG! no more prompting "are you sure you want to do this?" anymore. and it gives you the option to set it into "quiet" mode, or have it fully engaged, or turned fully off. so far, no problems, and its exactly what i needed to make the vista operating system user friendly for me.

 

 

Sounds good I'll give it a try. No annoying prompt in the task tray advising that the protection is disabled??

 

Thanks

[Disabling UAC in Vista]

Heres a great little program I found. Been using it for a bit and its really handy. It can set UAC in "quiet" mode, which doesnt disable it, but doesn't give you those constant annoying prompts. Heres the link:

Yes but it still requires a reboot each time you use it. No easy way around it

[CCleaner update and Vista]

Ok

 

Thanks for the reply

[CCleaner update and Vista]

Hello again

 

Seams after updating CCleaner to its latest version the computer now asks for administrator rights to continue. Is there a way to install CCleaner so this is not necessary? Keep in mind that before this latest update it worked fine in the background.

 

Thanks

[Paragon Partition Manager 8.5 free]

Paragon Hard Disk Manager 8.5 is Vista compatible and Paragon Partition Manager 8.5 (Vista compatible) also has a defrag option, within one of the menus.

 

Chris/vnunet.com

 

Thanks Chris

I found it but not sure if it is actually working. Does a graph or some type of chart pop up to show you the progress? I had a pop up that said to click on "Apply" but didn't know where to look for it. Also is it compatible with diskeeper which I have running in the background?

 

Thanks again

Hello

I'm somewhat confused here. Can Paragon hard disk manager be used in Vista or only Xp. I downloaded the Paragon Partition manager but it has no defrag option

Thanks

I would actually pay for FastStone if need be. I really like it

[Gadwin PrintScreen 4.2]

I just noticed that Vista (Premium anyway) has a built in "Snipping" tool. It's not bad

I'm a Faststone Capture kind of guy but thanks (the last free one that is)

Here is an updated list of Karens powertools.

I actually use replicator to copy all my docs and settings onto an external as a backup, just plug in my external, open replicator and press, back up my docs and settings (or whatever you want) and it does it in seconds, copies over any changes and deletions since last backup you made.

 

Extremely fast and very easy to use. One of those, press this button, and it happens apps.

 

Would be good for anyone who has never tried backing up their pictures, musics and setup.exe's etc before in case of a disaster.

 

Very good program. Use it all the time

[Faststone Capture is now Shareware!]

I found this extension, which allows you to create you own custom buttons.

 

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2707

 

However, unless your good at script/code writeing I would give it a miss.

 

There is a forum dedicated to this extension, from which I managed to alter a previously made script to open Faststone, but it also came with extra code and drop down menus for other external apps, which I couldn't sucessfully get rid off - I wanted one button for the Fastone utility.

 

I wouldn't imagine I am allowed to post the forum link here (although I see no conflict). It is full of useful info, but I found is very lacking on info regarding basic coding skills - it really isn't my forte.

 

However if anyone with a more technical background than me would like to give the coding a go I will post the link with the mods consent-

 

I've given up - It drove me crazy for hours!

 

I eventually put a link in my quicklaunch toolbar..

 

I wound up with a huge Faststone Capture logo sign in my "Customize" buttons chest. Had to uninstall the custom buttons to get rid of it.

The 7'th icon across in the second row of icons is insert image.

 

Or I use ImageShack.us and I believe you copy and paste the second link.

 

The actual code for inserting an image is:

The best printer I've had yet is this cannon pixima all in one. I love it.

 

Just a little to big for the cabinet

I don't know if you have seen the new Kodak all in one printers coming out but they look similar to the HP's with the cost of ink replacement of only 10.00 per cartridge or their about.

The one I'm thinking about is the 5500 which compares to HP's 6180 I believe
