Just for those users that cannot figure out the meaning of NO!

Well in case you haven't tried it yet, one program I now can't be without is the Mozilla FireFox browser. Talk about lightning fast - WOW, and the download time is next to none.

Try it, you'll like it..........

These are useful ways to controll your startup list instead of mscomfig.
the first one lets you access and turn on or off programs etc..
The second will alert you if something trys to apply itself on your pc.

startupmonitor

PS: both are FREEstartup controll panel

Hi!

Well I just looked at StartupMechanic...
It falsely identified TweakUI as the "Subwoofer Virus", ctfmon.exe as part of the "CoolWebSearch Parasite" and five other legitimate startup applications as being the "Cuydoc virus"!

My favourite msconfig alternative is Mike Lin's Startup ControlPanel from www.mlin.net

Best wishes,

Andrew

I am looking for a program to manage my favorites file in IE. Over the last couple of years, this file has gotten very long.

I would like to be able to validate all links and I would like to know if I have any duplicate links in different folders. In addition to see my folders in alpha order, I would like to be able to see an expanded version, where I could see all sub-folders and all of the links in each folder.

There has to be a better way to manage this process than what is currently available in IE.

All ideas and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Linda

RE: bookmark/favorites manager

I recently went through the process of trying out about a dozen or so freeware bookmark managers and settled on netvisualize as the best (of the ones evaluated) for my needs. I did not look into shareware.

http://www.netvisualize.com

Also, supplemental to netvisualize, I have been toying with the FURL bookmark manager, which is a free "online" manager, but it provides either a toolbar or you can set up a link in the links toolbar and consequently saving and access to the bookmarks is more readily available. It seems pretty handy so far and is a good backup measure. But, three concerns: 1) what happens if the service goes away (not likely according to them...), 2) I also noticed in my firewall log that it was "phoning home" on startup but I guess that would be expected, and 3) to be usable, should have a broadband connection for quick response...

My boss is always complaining - you computer users are cost centres for printer catridge and paper- well to do the lot of drafts, I use Fine Print 2000; you bet, it saves paper and ink particularly as I set my printer on draft. If you my problem too, try it.

I would very much like to get this program which was suggested by Ahmed. I downloaded it and got an icon on my desktop (Splitl40.zip). But when I clicked it, I got a message
"Movie Player Could not open movie splitl40.zip".

Ahmed (or anyone), can you please tell me what I am doing wrong? ... wdc

**luvskenny** · February 25th, 2004, 11:23 AM

It sounds like you don't have a unzip program (like ultimate unzip) to unzip the file. The movie player was your default program that was trying to open that folder on your desktop and when it is not supported it will give you an error such as the one you got. If you do not have a program that can unzip files. Then go to ultimatezip.com ( i think that is it, if not do a search for for it) and download that program and then you will be able to unzip the files to load that program splitter that your talking about. After you get a unzip program on your computer you will be able to unzip all files that are compressed. Just hit extract all zip files select the one you want to unzip and run it. I hope this helps you.

I like ultimateunzip its easy and free.

**aimeric** · February 25th, 2004, 12:58 PM

you also have a tiny free program that will do the job very well :

FreeZip @ http://www.bigfoot.com/~freezip/

and one to split your files, free too :

I am the project manager for a development project for a non-profit and there are about 15 people on the team. We are all donating our services.

I am looking for a freeware program that would track & prioritize bugs, problems, and issues. It would be nice if it was one program, which had sub-categories for each application.

Anyone know of anything like this?

Thanks,

Linda
