It's your net and you're paying for it. Until he gives you any money he has no say. You're the one paying for it, not him. So he can't gripe when you want to do stuff with YOUR Internet.

Tons of people use Delphi. It's everywhere, believe it or not. Ad-Aware, Spybot, Dial-a-fix. All made in Delphi.

Do you have proof that it is incorrect? If so, I will look into it.

Considering the speed of the hard drives, it doesn't matter if they're at the beginning or end of the drive. It's the same read/write time. The real thing that changes boot time speeds for sure is the amount of programs you have starting up and the RPM of the hard drive. Placement doesn't really matter.

Truthfully I have not. I use SysInternals software for the work I do.

Using Symantec/Norton is like running Windows 9x/ME (or even NT/2000) in a modern XP world.

You could (and should) buy a legal copy of Windows XP Professional and then repair the drive, keeping all of the data in place but simply changing the product key.

This page should help.

Andromeda43, your website fails to load (and on several computers). Shame, I wanted to look into the Norton killer.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [gwiz] C:\WINNT\system32\ntsystem.exe That is a Malware.J virus. You should boot into safe mode and navigate to your %WinDir%\System32 directory and delete the ntsystem.exe file.

It's a virus. Download and run Avast and you can get rid of it.

4.0 will have it where it will only alert you on when *.exe's get changed. It's in the Component Control area, a "Low" setting.

Did I miss something? The topic title. Just don't drop the soap.

One common cause of this issue is when you attempt to change the icon for a folder. It messes with it and sets it to search.

This has already been covered in our sticky. [ Closed. ]

Have you tried doing a Repair Install of Windows?

SP2. Massive security updates and fixes.

First check to see what the default action of the Icon is. Right Click the folder, is "Search" the default action (The one in bold)? The way to cure this problem is to open up the registry (Start - Run - regedit) and navigate to.. [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell] With "shell" highlighted, change the "default" data to "none" on the right-side. then go here: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell] With "shell" highlighted, change the "default" data to "none" on the right-side. The folder icons should be back to normal again!

PerfectDisk actually can resize the MFT table, but it only does so when it's necessary.

Change your Virtual Memory to System managed size, then reboot.

Use what works best for you. Who cares what others think. It's about what you are happy with. Personally, I like Opera but to me it lacks the customization I prefer. Firefox has some extensions that I use frequently for numerous things and Opera unfortunately lacks this (or if it has it, there's not much ease-of-use at all). With Firefox, I can place my bookmarks toolbar where I want and basically tweak it how I need it. So, bottom line. Who cares what others think. Use what works best for you. Offer or suggest that someone tries something; but don't force it down their throats, it'll only push them away.
