    There aren't "copy" versions of XP. You would have to buy the full version. Apart from being illegal, a "copy" of XP won't allow you to get updates so there would be a high risk of being hacked...

    That's got to be the longest list of RUN commands I've seen in a while. Any self-respecting virus would send itself somewhere else rather than wait for your progs to load!

    Nix, I think you got it about right. Cd-r and Cd-rw are treated the same by the burning operation for closed and multi-sesson but cd-rw can be erased and burned anew.

    JBH1876, I would definitely use something other than WMP to burn disks. Far more flexibility and WMP can't do dvds. If you are serious, Nero is probably the best but payware. A lot of dvd...

    You're right that Process Explorer shows details. I already have it installed and did not think to check it out. Just ran it. Problem is the presentation is either too general (Process list) or...
  10. Utility to ID what svchosts are up to, XP

    I know what svchosts do but I find it very disturbing that you don't know what is actually going on. There are usually multiple instances running and one assumes they are running for a reason. I...

    An update. What I found in that posted link about the registry is what I was looking for. However, the descriptions of the bits/bytes do not tally with what I find so I have not made any changes. ...

    Firefox has been the main benefactor of anti-MS sentiment until now. I'm sure some hackers will attack anything but many have an anti-establishment bias.

    I echo Welshjim's ending comment about accuracy. OCR is not perfect and you can spend a lot of time making corrections to both text and layout. If the images have poor quality text, it may be...

    I don't usually post problems that are easy to solve because if they are, I've already solved them!

    SuperSparks, what is bad about the Epson C86 is that you cannot selectively clean a nozzle. Clean one, clean all four. My older Epson did it per colour I think. I did not have a clogging problem...
