Really Firefox can be installed on to a USB Flash Drive and ran from any computer ? You are telling me it has no ties into the registry ? thats awesome if i can just copy my Firefox Folder to my Flash drive

i have 2 questions that have been bugging me for sometime now , if anyone can solve these i would be appriciative 1) Is there a Way to Have Xp Automatically Reboot into SafeMode WITHOUT sitting at the keyboard hitting F8 ??? Or at lease automatically go to the boot choice screen WITHOUT hitting F8 2) Is there a Way to Select ALL LOCAL harddrives to be scandisked at the next reboot , I have 5 Harddrives and want them all scanned at the next reboot , WITHOUT having to Select Each of the 5 Drives and hit ScanDisk Now , because i have to always play a Mp3 on each of the drives so that it says it cannot get full access to the drive because the drive is in use , and then it gives me the option to scan at the next reboot....ARRG Thanks In Advance Rob

The only Requirement is that It has to be able to be run without installing anything, You should just be able to put it on a flash drive and run it without installing Some of my Favorites Are 1) Adaware 2) Norton Windoc and Disk Doctor 3) Trend Micro Antivirus Scanner I am looking to fill my flash drive with Great Programs to run on XP machines to increase speed and productivity , But these are Customers machines and I would rather not have to Install , Run , Uninstall ..these programs Rob

Hmmmm ok but i open about 50 computer boxes a day , each time i will have to change the computer name ?

I do alot of upgrades and tweaks to systems each day , I have Some Batch files that Run all my Registry Tweaks and then Start up The Install of Service Pack 2 , The situation is .....on most brand new computers there is a trial version of Norton AV 2004 , and it slows down the install of SP2 while it scans the files , I need a registry tweak or a Command that i can put in my batch files to kill the Norton AV from running while i am changing the system , and it has to work on Home and Professional Xp Rob

I want to write a small batch file that Runs Norton Windoctor and scans and automatically fixes any errors , i found silent run switches for Norton DiskDoctor , but does anyone know what they are for Windoc Rob

Ok this is my problem , I have around 7000 files sorted into around 400 folders , i need to extract all the files from all 400 folders into a Folder of my choice , The only way i know how to do this right now is ...... 1. Use WinRar and Rar all the folders into 1 Rar File 2. Extract all the files but Check the Do Not Extract Full Path Names Option 3. Then rescan all my files into there correct folders I do this action everytime a new version of the files comes out , Does anyone know of a program or a Dos command that can just move all the files from within folders ....into 1 folder ??? Thanks Alot Rob

Yes I disable the Firewall so that i can Install XP service Pack 2 , and i also disable the virus scanner so that it goes faster , but then after its done i reenable it Rob

I need a Registry tweak or a batch file that i can click on to do the following 1) Disable the XP firewall in SP1 and SP2 and.. 2) Disable Norton Antivirus 2004 The reason behind this is that i do alot of SP2 upgrades on computers on my jobs network , and i cant access the network with the Firewall enabled , and also SP2 goes alot faster when the Antivirus isnt running in the background , 90% of the machines are XP home machines Thanks Rob
