someone suggests a good antivirus for Windows 98?
I prefer "Common Sense", but I'm sure some people would prefer one with more aggressive scanning

you can set the source directory to anywhere, providd it has the win98 subfolder. Personally, I put it in the winbuilder directory

I'm looking for a program that will run in the background, and Launch/Kill certain net-specific programs - Such as a twitter client, RSS reader, etc - when I connect/disconnect from a network.
Does anyone know of a program that can fill these requirements?
If not, a program that will just launch/ignore a specified program when activated would also be useful.
I hope that made sense.

You could check the location of the Application Data folder and check it in relation with the windows folder.
IE: If %appdata% is in "%windir%/Application Data" it's single User, if it's not (%windir%/Profiles/*/Application Data), it's multiuser.
This is however a *very* bad way of doing it, and would probably fail with translated versions of windows.
I'd have to start digging in the registry to work out if there's a simple way to measuring it.
Oh, and remember that even when multi-user is enabled, you can still hit cancel, and load up the single-user profile.

About MSN messenger, I would remove it (besides from your project from the whole world ).
Swapping MSN Messenger for Pidgin would be a much nicer idea. Pidgin can use all the popular IM networks, and has more features than MSNv5 anyway.

Finished up a port of the XP theme RVWoodwork. Its passable, but the window buttons are still bleh.

Preview image is attached to this post.

Oh, incidentally, there's a weird little glitch in the skinning engine. If you select the "help" button and hold or click on the window frame, the original unskinned buttons appear. It can also happen if you right-click a window caption, though it immediately corrects itself.
Just a question, Where's your system tray?
Otherwise, it looks awsome, and I'm gonna install it now

"I ***ing hate Vista! Why didn't they leave Word as it was in XP?"
I *know* people don't understand what an O/S is, when they call office 2007 vista.

I'm unable to connect to download.microsoft.com or use Windows Update on my Windows 7 Machine. It works fine in both my other computers, so it's not a DNS or other connection issue.
Any Ideas?

I'd recommend doing a full windows update (Including Optional Components), and then try installing it again.
It worked for me

I get mine via Microsoft Connect also

Based on this:

Is Microsoft replacing mshtml.dll instead of OLEDB32.DLL
???
OLEDB32 is older.

I'm looking forward to that boot screen
As for the theme, it's too blue for my liking... But I stole the start button to add to my (majorly) modified version of XPEnergy.

In my experience, Windows 98 doesn't like data DVDs... May I suggest using XP for this one?

Is it Boot Camp? Or if not, what is the name of this feature?
It's called "DVD or CD Sharing"
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/dvdorcdsharingupdate10forwindows.html
The CD server is available for download at that link. But I can't find a client for it, except for on an Apple.

After a quick dig on google, I found that Apple has made software to share my windows drives to OS/X machines, but hadn't found anything that allowed me to use the OS/X protocol for sharing disks between my PC, and an EeePc (CDless lappy)
Does an implementation of this protocol exist, or a similar (non Apple) implementation of the same idea exist?
Thanks in advance

I seem to remember such a glovepie script for that... I'll dig around for it if you can't find it.

Looks like the drive has corrupted... Reformat the disk and it should work. It's almost certainly not an OS issue. My computer should be able to reformat the disk.

I've had a good experience with the netgear series of wireless PCMA cards...

yeah, install RP or uberskin, and it should be there.

Uberskin will do it, and it's newer than RP.

Don't know about the start menu itself, but if you want a vista look, install Revolutions... It's in the autopatcher (recommended, even if you don't choose to install revolutions)

{E} completely develop a Windows application from dev to compile, bouncing around from editors to output windows while juggling a multitude of online/offline references
I'll have to disagree with that one... When actually compiling the program, I'd switch to winXP, and compile as a unicode application (with unicows.dll).

Personally, I'd add Mono to the project.
http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/download.html
You'll want to select Windows, then the option "Mono for Windows, Gtk#, and XSP"
* When installing, I didn't install XSP, so I don't know whether it will break compatibility.
* I also have not tested without KernelEx - I assume it will fail.
After a long google, all I was able to find is this: http://lists.ximian.com/pipermail/mono-list/2005-November/029656.html
