There are a lot of possibilities when it comes to this.... first though, since more and more programs are becoming "intelligent", a whole lot of them remember recent files used, so are you looking...

I haven't found a strictly OS solution, but a very, very, very small script program (3 lines of code, actually) can overcome this problem. If you build a .vbs file (VbScript file, that runs using...

Thank you Sir.

Net send is a command line utility that comes with later versions of windows. It's layout is: net send IPADDRESS Message
So, for example, if you wanted to send a message to the IP Address...

I'm guessing you are talking about the programs in the system tray (next to the time), and that you are talking about on startup. If you are not talking about on startup, then you can usually remove...

No, it's not a windows thing I can tell you that (if it is, it's a service disabled on my XP Home box). I think it has to do with your video card drivers or software.

What kind of video card do you have? I know NVIDIA offers NVRotate, which allows you to rotate the screen (believe it or not, they have monitors that can be rotated, I guess it helps in graphic...

If you have VB6, It's better if you compile it yourself, because you can change the key used for encypting the password, here is the source...

Certainly.... it's coded in VB6, and I can attach both an EXE and the source code (in case you don't have a compiler)... let me work out the kinks and I'll post both up here.

I can make a program that does this if you want.... in fact, I've already started working on one (some time ago), I can resurrect it and finish it up if you'd like.....

EDIT: The code is just...

Tayspen: Does that save the settings after you reboot?

Hmn....

If it's a folder (BIT) then del won't get rid of it. You'll have to use rd or rmdir (same command). so, something like:
rd /s "c:\my shit\BitTorrent\BIT" did you try the link...

You can go into Dos, and try to delete the file manually using it's short name..... or trying doing it using wildcards. You could also try this tool:

What's the path to the file? It's on the desktop? Also, are you able to do anything to the folder, such as set attributes (system, hidden, read-only) or can you do absolutely nothing with it?

what's the URL?

He's not asking how to get a zip password.... he's asking how to apply a password to a .zip file.

hmn, if you are quick enough, you could hit the print screen key on the keyboard (next to the f12 key). Then you click start, run... type in: mspaint, then click edit paste...... but that's kinda...

I think on XP (I don't have a password, I just turn it on and get my desktop), but if you are set up to log on, with a user and password, after you zip the file, I think you can go to properties,...

You should post in the virus's and nasties section to try to get rid of the virus before taking any other measures.... if those guys deem you doomed, you may want to take a look into "knoppix" (or...

? What does that have to do with required tasks for windows to operate?

This is a list of the processes that my app does not stop from the process list. These are pretty much the bare essentials of windows:
svchost.exe
explorer.exe
crss.exe
spoolsv.exe
services.exe...

That's weird. I'm sorry I can't help you.... everyone else who runs it has no problem, so I'm not sure if there is something specific with your PC or what.... if you want the source code, or if you...

try this: http://www.aftermath.net/~coma/quicksweep.exe

Hmn, I don't get that problem, and neither do any of the people I've refered to the link. if you are certain you have the vb runtimes installed, I can send you the EXE standalone.

What version of windows are you using?

Check This Thread: http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread40595.html for a neat program. It shuts down all running processes, except for those that are required for windows to run stable. It...

You are certain the fonts are not removed? (start, settings, control panel, appearance and themes, fonts [under XP]).

You can also try opening internet options (tools, internet options), then...

sorry about that, server upgrade, it's back.

Absolutely, if you have CGI ability, I can build a small page, and every 4 hours I can make the app on their system (guessing it's windows, right?) navigate to the small CGI, and pass it their IP. ...

Standby... Working on it.

You don't by chance have a server that hosts web sites or anything do you? (so that you could have the IP uploaded to your server instead of by e-mail?)

You could build a program that automatically sends you the IP as the subject and or content of the e-mail... this saves you the hassle of having to parse the header....

do you have an e-mail...

This is it. The program I'm actually building has a lot more functionality than this little guy. I actually took the code from the project to make this one. The bigger project, I'll post when it's...

It's a 1 time thing.... like, you run it, and closes everything..... everything. Your apps, other people's apps, windows apps.... everything. The only thing it leaves running is the required...

I built a program that goes through and stops EVERYTHING that's running in the process list EXCEPT what's required by XP to run. Let me know if you'd like a copy of it.

depending on the layout of the text file, I could probably make one in VB, but I'm unsure as to the level of work it would require (and my time constraints)

Tell Me It Worked!!!

Ok, are you running a firewall, such as norton (if so, try disabling this, by right clicking it's icon in the system tray and choosing disable).

Also, go to start, run type in: regsvr32 MSXML3.dll...
