Virginia's a pretty conservative state....I bet they were up in arms over the publicity of a gay couple with the first baby! hehe Rick

That's pretty cool man. Err....I'll take your word for it and I'll let you help secure my site one day...Hehe Rick

AAAAHHH! Those are hilarios pics...especially the trailer house boat! Oh dear...that's what you would find in my part of the country!!! Rick

In the US these drives go on sale for like $50 AR. Find a coupons & deals site for Canada before making a purchase. See xpbargains.com for an example of what I mean. Rick

Hehe...I've read these and it's funny because you have to put your verbs and nouns in the right order but you can usually get the gist of what they are talking about. Rick

Actually, I didn't read my answer very well because that only shows you how to remove the items under "New" on the right click menu. Go to this website for a great guide on doing anything you want to the right click menu including taking out the unwanted options. Customizing Right-Click Menu Options in Windows This worked for me because I realized I had some of those options that I wanted gone. Let us know if you need more help Rick

Right Click How-to Refer to this post for instructions on chaning the right click menu. Rick

Looks real to me but illegal. No manual just the installation CD? Hmmm..sounds like an illegal pirated copy to me. Rick

While he may have come here just for that, we have a section like this so that people can tell about their forums. We are not in competition with anybody but we simply want to do the best job we can do in order to offer the community a great tech site to come to. When the mods and admin think of who we want to compete with, we compete with ourselves to make it better. Okay...that sounds like a bunch of happy bullcrap but I'm serious...there are millions upon millions of surfers out there and there are plenty tech boards to go around to fit the taste of each person.

this item from the windows registry guide may be of help to you: "Removing Item Types from the New Menu (All Versions) ===================================================== Category: Home > Windows > Desktop and Explorer When you right-click on your desktop or other selected applications there is a New sub-menu which contains a list a default templates. This list can be modified to include only the templates you want. Each template exists in the [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT] hive associated with a file extension. Whether it is visible or not in the New menu is controlled by whether the related entry has a sub-key called 'ShellNew'. For example on the New menu there is usually an entry for "Text Document". This is visible because of the key: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.txt\ShellNew] If you were to rename the key so it no longer had a sub-key called 'ShellNew' by changing it to [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.txt\ShellNewOld] it would disappear from the New menu. Open Regedit, and using the Find function (Ctrl+F) search for any values of 'ShellNew'. Several should be found under the [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT] hive, if you do not want them to be displayed rename 'ShellNew' to 'ShellNewOld'. Changes should take effect immediately. " There ya have it!

While I do agree that making an OS that can handle everything is very difficult...but...but....they have a whole bunch of money...is that an underestimate? They have had years and lots of money to get this right and they are doing a pretty decent job but I believe that somebody can create an absolutely stable OS if M$ does not in the next 10 years. Rick

Looks nice...good job on the site and good luck with it man. Rick

Happy New Year all! 5 hours 20 mins to go! Rick :sorcerer :sorcerer :sorcerer

I would put together the "Rev." Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Heraldo and drop them in the middle of an Al Queda camp containing Saddam and Osama...then BOOM! Then at least half of our worlds probs are over. Rick

Hey! What are you getting for Christmas? Ahhhh! Too early! LOL Rick

I have had to look at this painful topic at the top of the new list for a long time now...dont' know if I can take it anymore! Rick w00t

This Ellen Feiss thing is hilarious and just to think that I would never have known who she was if it weren't for this great community! Ummm....the only prob with this page is that they are all guys!! Ugghhh!! Rick

I really admire the contributions Tolken made to society and the people he influenced. Remind me to tell you about Tolken and C.S. Lewis one day. Rick

Thanks Fthrjack for the link! It showed how to check Norton Firewall and also my router. It turns out that I did not have the port 4117 open on my router. Now it works great! Rick

That's what was going on inside my stomach after all the Christmas meals!!! Rick

Who is we? I have tried Blubster and it will not connect for me...does it take a long time? Rick

Xpbargains is the bomb! I have gotten so many great deals off it. Babis..I'll have to try out some of the others you posted. Rick

Heck...I thought I would see where all of you got all this awesome stuff but I see that most of you are as poor as me! Hehe I got money to pay rent and that was a blessing for me! Chris...Congrats man! I knew it was coming but heck..you did it in style man! Rick

You can get a Realtek hub for about $15 (I'll make you convert it to "quids") and 50ft of cable for as low as $20. That's way under what you want to spend. If you choose to expand later on, you can always buy a router then.... Now...if you are running an internet connection from a cable modem, then you will need to buy a router that is capable of routing cable/dsl. That may cost you about $50 bucks. Rick

Thanks Sed...I always forget to put links.
