I'm a smoker and occasionally I have to spend a day or two getting the build-up nicotine stains off of my stuff. I did a search a while back and came up with a killer solution that literally melts nicontine build-up with very little ellbow grease and no super harsh chemicals. The solution...

Here's a slick little trick you can use in case your ntldr ever gets damaged (or you want a tad more security in who starts your machine up). Format a diskette, either from a command window (format a: ) or from windows explorer. Then copy over these 3 files from your root directory: ntldr -...

I replaced Diskeeper 7.0 with the newer version. It seems to be more of a resourse hog then 7.0. Does anyone else have the same experience, or is it just me? I used to be able to defrag w/ 7.0 and it would barely affect system performance while i surfed, etc. 8.0 seems to want what it wants...

I've got to report on a program that got me out of a real jam. I was playing around with Norton Ghost and restored an image to a 4 partition 120 gig hard drive. I had it set up as C:\[system] D:\[programs] E:\[storage] and F:\[scratch]. What I did was Ghosted the first two paritions... when I...

Have you ever hit an icon in your quicklaunch menu and accidently drug it off onto your desktop? I've done it numerous times and it always generates a negative emotional response because I have to drag it back on and then delete the one that stays on the desktop. :mad: I just navigated to...

Don't we just love living on the edge of controversy?? lol. waddy, here's another simple guide that will allow folks to test their newly purchased :D cd keys without mucking up their registrys first. If you want to use it, it's attached here.

When a drive has a primary - extended/logical partitions created on it, it's possible to delete and recreate the primary partition without losing the data on the extended/logical parititions. My question is this: If I delete the primary paritition and go to recreate it, do I have to use all...

Came across this and thought it was worth a pass-along: http://www.freewebspace.net/search/power.shtml Enter your preferred criteria in the 'Power Search' box and voila! I did a search for freebies over 50mb and came back with about 40 hits. I haven't signed up for any of them, yet. I'm...

I looked at this in the setup instructions: Don't like that, not one bit. I hope we don't get a bunch of folks getting their hard drives formatted using this thing because they disable some basic security features... globally disable these features. Is this the only way this could be...

If you want to dedicate some of your computer's idle time to looking for an Anthrax cure, go to http://www.intel.com/cure/ and download the program. They also have one for cancer research. Not only is it a good cause, but I'm finding out it's a great way to test my systems performance. I've...

This is a self executing flash e-card file. Download it to your hard drive to run it. I particularly like the one about the grueling Austrailian test... hilarious! This is for all my m8's :D Crash Dummies

What needs done where to get it to run unsigned themes? I don't use the themes that come with Styles XP, but I still use a hacked Luna theme. Figure I might like this more then having to buy something i'm only using for that purpose - to hack that file. NE1?

I saw this thread in another forum and thought it would make a good edition here. But please, use some decorum - some of you have already offended my dog, Cat. :p My first offering (stolen of course)>>>>> An example of a phone call to tech support; Operator: "Welcome to our customer...

I've read a few things about XP optimizing itself on a 3 day cycle. To take full advantage of this it's my understanding that I need to defragment my drive on a fairly regular basis. What's the best Defrag utility to use to help XP achieve optimal performance? I have Diskeeper 7.0 installed...

I want to set up a dual boot with Win2k (primary partition) and XP (secondary partition). I have a 45 gig hard drive with a large logical storage partition that i want to leave alone. It takes up about half the drive right now. I want the cleanest possible boot partition. I've read a few...

This intrigues me: http://www.xp-erience.org/article.php?sid=643&mode=thread&order=0 Has anyone figured out how to hack it yet to increase it's default size of 30mb?? I'd really like to set this sucker up with a full gig of ram. If anyone figures it out let me know. thx.
