Ooh! There's no more Notification Area icon, so I must now open WindowBlinds "by hand." No big deal, though, because when I do try to run it, WB croaks -- freezes. I uninstalled both WB versions (4 and 5) and tried to install version 4 again -- the ol' tried-and-true companion. No go. It's as if it installed version 5, which, as I said, doesn't work. A few other programs have joined the boycott, su
Attacking the daily lives of billions of people, and causing companies to spend billions in time and labor to protect themselves is enough for at least life in prison As penalties go, whatever the penalty for the theft of those amounts would be, this penalty should be no less severe. It's t
As I mentioned in a private letter, the FauxS-XP set is my default, my "workhorse," if you will. Anything you could add to that would be immediately snapped up in this neck of the woods. And if you could toss in a Corel WordPerfect icon for the three or four of us who use that grossly neglected gem of an application, I'd be tickled pink! (Aha! It just dawned on me why nobody makes WP icons! It's the word processor that four-out-of-five lawye
Conceivably, this could put a damper on any web hosting company. If somebody gets caught (for example) posting MP3s onto an unlinked folder of his or her web site, and the prosecutors can show that the web host did not scour that person's web page, trying to crack encrypted files, etc., the web host could be implicated in the webmaster's "crime." More ominously, if somebody gets caught simply e-mailing MP3s to friends, and the ISP (again) wa
I think you're talking about the Explorer Bar. This can be changed, or even turned off, using the View, Explorer Bar section of the menu. You can also invoke Explorer using various command-line coding that changes or omits that part of the Explorer window. A good "Tips and Tricks" web site ought to explain these for you, if that's part of what you want. WindowBlinds allows us to make certain changes as to what does and does not get skinned,
> I would like to suggest that StarDock make documentation available that at least identifies the intended functionality of each feature exposed to the user. I've worked in software & I know there's only so much time Stardock, like WP and all the others with whom I've been even remotely involved, has a class of followers who make themselves available to help others learn the ropes to using various utilities and applications. I don't know that I'd be on this board right now were it not
Regarding the article, if they want to do away with the cold-boot, they're not being realistic. Those of us who do development of any kind -- even loading a new set of icons -- know only too well that the lighted orange switch on the surge protector is one of our more intimate friends in the computing world!

> right-click on flash animations Thanks for the tip! Much of my whining is outdated, as I only upgraded to XP a few months ago, and haven't really learned where XP has taken care of this or that problem. I DO like the feature on Mozilla which allows you to block images from a specific server. I'm hoping to learn a few things about skinning, focusing on the programming end, since visual impairment keeps me out of the
> A wonderland for customization Many people just want to push the "On" button, and point and click and get the work done. Such people (in my opinion) go to Sears to get tools for their workshop, etc. Such people (in my opinion) used to buy the Mac and MS Word (back when I last paid attention to those products: forgive me if either has changed any in the past ten years). I've never been that way. I've always purchased tools that first
This link indicates it's free... Okay, but (as with ALL Stardock products and proceedures), I'm still confused: I just purchased Object Desktop not two months ago (and have just figured out, this weekend, how to get it installed). So I spent my $50 on LAST YEAR'S MODEL? Or do I get to go somewhere and u
