Nice explaination of the security features. I've often read that it has security improvements, but this is the first time I've seen it explained,...
In that case, you may want to leave well enough alone! How long did it take you? The first time I read that guide (several years ago) I imagined...
I didn't try this with XP, however, I did experiment with 98Lite, which was the predecessor of XPLite. It wasn't without problems, which made me...
Same here, I've got a Core2Duo 6550 with 4GB memory from 2007 and a Radeon HD2900 graphic card. XP/Server 2003 run noticably faster than Win7. The...
Under the conditions you describe for the updates you didn't install, it sounds very reasonable to skip them. You have everything locked down...
Sounds like a great tool for stalkers. Every time Farcebook comes up with something new it seems to get worse and worse. Glad I don't use it. :gack:
I also prefer to use the developer's homepage. Otherwise Softpedia and the others mentioned are all good. If you can read German, heise online and...
I agree with zfactor. Thermal paste is so cheap that there's no reason not to re-apply it. Better safe than sorry. You can clean up the old...
Just lock down these computers with limited user accounts and a software restriction policy. With this alone you probably have 99% of the malware...
Here's a script that I use. With this you can toggle show hidden files on/off. Just click it when you need to see hidden folders and files and...
Yup. Do a custom install and uncheck everything except the scheduler and the shell integration. I used it exactly the way you describe for ~3...
I'm sure some people will disagree, but I personally think that SRP is a lot easier to set up (takes about 5 minutes). Here's a real good guide...
If you're logged on in your wife's account it only makes sense that you can see her bookmarks and history. The browser can't possibly know that...
You could buy a computer/notebook with no OS and install 7 yourself. The last computer I had with an OS pre-installed was a 486 with Windows 95....
Hopefully :) I use SuRun and SRP with Windows 7 and it works pretty well. However, I turned off UAC because in my admin account it was...
I used Roboform for a long time and it works very well. However, it costs $$$ and I used to have the occasional glitch with their activation...
Same here. Speaking of worth, here's a slightly tongue-in-cheek take on Facebook at the Borowitz Report. ;)
Take a look here.
It works in any account if you make System the user when you schedule the task. As reddice pointed out, the path to MpCmdRun.exe has changed....
What whitedragon says. Another alternative is Ophcrack. With this you can either let it try to brute-force the password or reset it. I've...
Use Data CD. If BurnAware works like other burning apps you can just drag and drop the pictures into the burning list.
You can make one yourself according to this site. Alternatively there are links on that page to download an .iso file, but beware, they want...
That should work fine. I tried this recently, but a bit different. I partitioned it first and let it make the 100 MB partition. Then I deleted it...
Thanks, I have one of those cloths, I'll give it a go the next time.
Sounds like a good idea, especially for keyboards that aren't easy to take apart. This is OT, but since cleaning is the topic, I have the most...
Separate names with a comma.
