so there is no spyware that exploits a wekaness in Firefox, but there might be in the future. ok, this sounds only like 'FUD'. Even if spyware appeared I doubt it could ever reach the magnitude of tourture that IE was/is.

I am also having a weird problem with KB885250, im trying to figure it out.

hey 'hey you'!

heres the easy way: [edit] scroll down.

informative link i came across: http://www.blachford.info/computer/Cells/Cell0.html

*****, google is offering me to refer up to 50 accounts?! Thats 50GB! *scary*

Ive been following the Cell for the last 2 years when I initially heard about it, this is very, very exciting news. Another article more more on the specs. http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1558,1761407,00.asp Intel has been touting 'Dual Core' Processors, this has Eight! Several Times the bandwidth of the GeForce 6800 Ultra, can run multiple OS simultaneously?! ****!

I want one, or maybe a couple! Sounds like IBM, Sony and Toshiba delivered! http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn6976

ive seen admuncher in use, its very good. My point is you can literally get the same or better results from the ADblock extension with Firefox. And its Free and opensource.

thanks

i agree why are using InternetExplorer, do you like Spyware? I reccomend Firefox!

ShellExView may help. Its free and is a stand-alone exe file. http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html you can use this to also identify the Registry keys CLSID for these context menu handlers.

Firefox is the best. Thunderbird which I recently switched to from Outlook 2003, is a terrific email program and compliments Firefox very well.

[EDIT] Just read Zxian's post above B)

FIXED! Despite Windows showing Firefox on my Start Menuas the Internet Application, and Despite having opened Firefox>Tools>Options>Default Browser, The solution for me was to open 'Set Program Access and Defaults', click Custom, and Change 'use my current web browser' to 'mozilla firefox'.

I disagree, the BEST is Firefox with the Adblock Extension and a good filter list. http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ http://adblock.mozdev.org/ http://www.geocities.com/pierceive/adblock/

Note: Guns/Violence [EDIT] I guess they dont like people linking directly to SWF Files. http://www.abum.com/?show_media=4138&file_type=Animations

WTF Happened to that? Looks like it got hit by a car. LOL Funny thing is I though I the thread was I love Firefox, which of course goes without saying. B)

what about just renaming the ORIGINAL file and changing the extension from .exe to .old then copy the NEW notepad.exe into that folder. Also you can try Safemode. I personally use/reccomend the method tjhart85 describes with Slipstreaming NOTEPAD.EX_

This program is very new, latest version is 0.1.0.5.1, so its going to be Beta for a while. I think this program has alot of potential. The configuring does get a bit complicated with the plugins, which are optional. Anyone can run it, just download and install it. After that who knows what might happen?

Thanks I do hope this helps some people. I added Screenshots from Excel which I used to copy and Sort his list better for us tweakers. In case you didn't notice I omitted the Services that are already Disabled in SP2 or are ESSENTIAL for Windows to Function.

OK Here it is all of them I reccomend you visit this link first so you know what your doing: Windows XP Service Pack 2 Service Configurations from BlackViper.com Copy and Paste the entire list, or the specific ones you want into Notepad or some equivalent (I use Notepad2) and save as a .reg file. Use a semi-colon ; to 'disable' a line in the file. Make sure you have this at the top of the file so Windows can import it into the registry.

Hopefully this is just some registry value, I am looking into that.
