Dear folks,
I am looking for a program which would allow me to attach notes to email received in Outlook Express, and link it to another file on my computer. Good thread. Safe computing to all.

Computer where's my glasses?
and what the heck was the program I downloaded last night, and why did I download the darn thing?
oh.. Behind the monitor..thanks computer!
I wish there were a program that would:
Let me configure how much bandwidth each individual app can use, UL and DL. Sort of like NetEnforcer but software based....oh and free would be nice but I'd willingly pay for it.
;)
There is only one program that I know of that will lock the modem dial out so that it can only dial allowed numbers thus preventing the Trojan diallers which underhandedly switch you to a premium line.
Perhaps someone could design a freeware security application in a simialr vein?
Interesting thread.......
I like the idea of voice commands. Is there one that works on a 12 year old daughter? :D
Perhaps a 'Microsoft ComputerDeskTidyUpper' would also be quite useful....
And definitely a programme that would remove the cellophane wrappers on blank CDs!
A mind reading version of Excel, where it knows EXACTLY the formula I need for a particular calculation/problem.
Any of those would do nicely.
Regards
oops....i thought i posted this wish of mine on this thread but apparently i start a new thread titled "Programs"...i didn't mean to do that..so here's my post:
"i wish there was a quick & easy way to make sure when i UN-INSTALL a program that ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING that was installed WITH the program is COMPLETELY removed.
on occasion, if i un-install a program...i'm advised that it's un-installed BUT there are some remnants of the program left over which wasn't/can't be removed...why should this happen???? i don't know....BUT there should be a way to make sure that EVERYTHING is removed (don't you think??)!!!!
i don't know if this is unrealistic or that there's no need for this...but, i have a feeling that some problems i get on my computer is due to this type of problem."

i got 2 replies from General Winters & Triple7's..
here's their posts:
General Winters:
I use a program like Total Uninstall to monitor the installation so it can remove all changes.
There is a freeware version (v2) and a pay version (v3)

How it works?
Total Uninstall creates a snapshot of your system prior to installing a new application. It then takes an additional snapshot after the installation has completed. It then compares the two snapshots and displays all changes in a graphical tree view, marking all registry values and/or files that have been added, changed or deleted. Total Uninstall saves these changes and if you decide to uninstall the application, it will reverse the changes to the previous state.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other programs I have used for this would be InCtrl / System Mechanic / RegShot combined with UnDoReg.

Triple7's
That's why I use installation monitoring software when installing programs in windows. It records all changes and additions to all files and registry entries, then creates a report.
Most stuff left behind are simple folders, some registry entries and maybe a dll or two. Nothing all that critical in most cases but it's nice to keep things clean.
You definetly don't want an uninstaller to remove "everything" if it happened to replace a critical system file when it installed. Might end up with more problems then if you just left the junk there.
EDIT: OOps, I see the general beat me to it.

thanks for the info...but Triple7's post is scaring me & i don't think that i want try anything...even what General Winters suggestion...i'm just on ole fashion chicken
What I would like to see is a Personal Information manager with the ability to run entirely from a USB key. Key features would include a notepad, password manager, address book, and a self contained e mail program and web browser.
Maybe there's one out there already that I am unaware of?????

Thanks for the links Nix, but I've been to all of those and have run Thunderbird from a USB key. What I'm looking for is a program that incorporates all of the features listed. Currently I am using Access Manager for passwords, Firefox for a browser, TBird for an e mail client, and nothing for a portable notepad. Is there any program out there that does it all????? Oh, and FREE - LOL......
Can you not just put notepad.exe in the thumb drive?
ha ha don't we all, it's such a load of random jargon to most of usQuote:
I wish there was one that explained in understandable english what the Error (especially microsoft's) messages mean and how to fix them.
I wish there were an application that was kinda like webEX only much less expensive. There are plenty of free VNC viewers out there, but none of them are as easy as having someone logging into a website that allows us to remote control their pc.
I've come across several programs, but all of them need to be installed and configured on our clients end (actually called the server because we will be remoting into them). I've looked into GoToAssist.com, they provide what we need to an extent, but surely there is another app out there that is not as costly.
Remote assistance works great, but not all of our clients are using XP.
Any suggestions?
while i was forwarding some email, i thought of some other programs i'd like to have.
first, i'm a very private person and want to apply the same courtesy that i'd like others to do to me (even if they don't).
i usually forward various email messages & jokes to about 10 other people...when i do, i ALWAYS delete the originators info..such as their addy and the names of other people that they had sent the message to, in addition to me...this can take some time as some messages have been forwarded 3-4 times before i get them....and of course, i only send the message to one person at a time because i don't want to show all the peoples names/ids that i'm going to be sending the message to.
so, i need two different programs:
1) to always delete the trail of the message...only sending the actual message and another
2) which will allow me to send messages to many people BUT not show to anyone the list of anyone else who are also going to get the message.
The first one is easiest. Just hold your shift key, and click before the first word, then take your mouse and scroll to the end of the message, then click on the last letter of the last word. This highlights everything and then you can just hit the delete key.
To send messages to others so that only one person sees their name in the sent to box, click on Cc (Carbon copy) then you'll see BCc, Blind Carbon copy, you can add others emails and when the first person gets the email they won't see the other peoples names. See attachment.
I wish there was a simple database I could understand how to program. I wish Access 2003 was not written for rocket scientists.
