Happy birthday XPerties. Nice nick by the way.

H.O.W.!.?.!.? is that possible?

What is the big deal with networking? I have a router. It let's Me and my girlfriend use the internet simulataneously. Besides, if I were to network, I would only need an extra 2 or so Services going because there's only 2 PCs and not 2000. I like the idea of all this "live off the CD-ROM" stuff for less space and full functionality but I like the user-friendlyness of Windows. I am so used to it. I'd rather have a completely slimmed down version of XP which nLite is striving to become.

Crippled? What the hell? The reason why the Windows folder is so small is because I used the nLite program being developed on MSFN to remove components. So don't assume I just got delete happy. Cheers.

Well, I do. http://img99.exs.cx/img99/9148/MyDesktop.png http://img64.exs.cx/img64/3614/MyInternetBrowser.png http://img64.exs.cx/img64/5166/MyServices.png http://img59.exs.cx/img59/5929/MyWindowsFolder.png http://img59.exs.cx/img59/2488/NoFragmentation.png I also have 0 spyware (including Alexa "spyware" gone) and no viruses. My boot time is 17.5 seconds. Anything else?

"Work With Registry" does a great job (not freeware) It seems to only scan the reg of errors and not defrag it.

Actually, if I were to use a program, I would rather it overwrite the index.dat files instead of "deleting" them because even when "deleted" they can still be recovered. A program like PurgeIE which overwrites with blank entries seems nice. However, those of us with Eraser programs like East-Tec Eraser which overwrites files 5 times more than the DoD Standard (7-Pass Wipe) can overwrite after deletion, so like I said...I would like the code to make an autoexecuting order for Windows to delete all located index.dat files before Windows loads so they are not in use by the system. Once Windows loads, I can overwrite them.

There are already many custom shells available by LiteStep/LiteShell. Google It.

Hi, can someone please provide me with the locations within the registy to the following: URL address drop-list box Search Button History Start > Run drop-list Also, I would like to create an auto-executable file that deletes the index.dat files at start-up before Windows loads. What is the CODE to remove all these located by Windows and the following: Internet History File Temporary Internet Files Cookies Windows File Fragments (.CHKs) Muchly appreciated. I ask because I am sick of having a program running in the background taking up 8 MBs of RAM when I could use a simple home-made text file (autoexec) to remove this stuff at start-up. Thank you in hopeful advance.

What about a Registry Defrag??? Preferably freeware.

Come on people, this is a good poll just the Stickies...

Uhm, I feel dumb. How do I edit the poll options?

Feel free to suggest more for me to add. I personally use East-Tec Eraser 2004.

- Firefox or Opera - Ad-Aware SE Pro - Spybot - XoftSpy - GIANT AntiSpyware - Spyware Blaster

Nothing.

I agree with another user who posted about his antivirus preference being himself. - I use very little p2p. - I have a hardware firewall. - I have used the nLite program to remove over 400 MBs from my Windows XP Home SP1 source. - I use FireFox. I mean, most of the common things in XP that have the capability of exploiting your PC to malicious files and such are removed by nLite. I am not a fool when it comes to e-mails. I do not get any e-mail from anyone not on my contacts list and I inspect the subject headers carefully. Casual: "Hey, haven't e-mailed you in a while". Suspicious: "Pics of some moviestar". I am not fooled. And I don't exactly have a group of bad hackers after me, doing anything from port scanning to bouncing trojans left, right and centre. I have no worries. But in an attempt to prove myself wrong, I will get AVG and see if I have anything. I will let you know.

1. Don't use Internet Explorer for Windows Updates. Use Daisy. Freeware application that automates it. http://vtwug.w2k.vt.edu/daisy.html 2. Check out the nLite section of the MSFN forums to slim down your Windows.

And about the page forwarding, FireFox does this also.
