True the woman seems to represent the stoned part of windows

Gamehead, you can delete certain files in a directory defining the delete command and the path of the directory you the specific files to be deleted from. You can't define the type of files to left in the directory after the deletion has finished, but you can specify all all the different types of files you want deleted, leaving the ones you don't want out e.g say under the c drive we have bitmaps, text files and gif files we can specify each type that we want deleted @echo off echo This will delete all bitmap adn gif files in the C:\Drive echo. del %systemdrive%\*.bmp del %systemdrive%\*.gif end The code defined above deletes all files in the c drive that are bitmaps and gifs leaving only text files. You can change the path to any thing you like eg folders that have special names etc. eg C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop.. Sunil

Thanks ArronXp that was a very interesting piece of literature, it enlightened me on various things i did not know. Sunil

So of the tweaks mentioned can always be changed all you need to do is set a system restore in winXp and 2K3, this would save you a lot of trouble if something goes wrong, though i cant see how it could the keys changed do not affect any critical system processes Sunil

Emuman, if you want to get some speed, i would recommend a full format of your hard drive, if you did a upgrade, that would cause many problems especially from windows 9x. Try the format it will help.. Sunil

Thanks Sunil

Hey, does anyone know what switches need to be added to a windows update patch so that during install it does not show the main dialog box, i.e the box which shows you the install progress and is there any way you can prevent the updates from "building third party driver list." Sunil

If you want to reliably shut down your computer, since the software recommended fail sometimes, use either leechget or Download Accelerator Plus. Both are highly efficient at doing their assigned tasks.. Sunil

Yea thats true but i needed it installed because, most of the files i use are rared and having it readily installed and waiting saves me some time.

About your problem it could be due to one of three things or all, your modem might be failing, your isp has problem or your phone line has been degraded somewhat. I have had the same problems, i rectified it by taking my modem out and reseating it. You could try this or check with your isp and see if they are experienceing any problems or check the line.

I have just completed my own windows xp super cd, it took a while as was pointed out by arronxp, but it paid off. The cd installs a number of apps, including windows media player 9 series, all patches to this month, keiro personal firewall, and others. The cd is totally automated except that you need to put it into the tray and run setup , one amazing feat that i overcame was the installation of winrar, which has to my knowledge no installation switches. So it was quite eventful.. If you need any help let me know and i would be glad to help. Sunil
