Thanks - I downloaded it - holding it in zip until I need it. When the need arises, I will be glad I have it available, I'm sure. I appreciate the post.

Thanks ..

Does it just remove the entrie or actually mess with the registry?

I see Microsoft came out with a Service Pack for Vista

this makes no sense

This is a day to day thread where we post freeware that we like and want to have others try.

From time to time, someone will post a question here, with an issue they are having on their computer and I think that is what you are seeing in some recent posts here, about AdAware.

This thread, is not for individual questions about issues, but it is for posting links to and information about freeware programs that you would like to point others to.

So, to help others avoid it "making no sense" I am going to move those confusing posts to a thread of their own, in our General Security forum, where it should have been in the first place!

thanks for the link.

Testimonials from established download sites aside, are you concerned about malware on that site?

[valis]

nah, I'm just tentative when it comes to new apps from sources I've not heard from....just a personal thing.

Cool, I always forget to check for new DX versions. I think I have the Dec 06 version still. This one appears to kick up my 3dmark scores a touch. So far, no ocing whatsoever, I've got a score of about 3700 on the box in my machine specs.

Here is a small exacutable that I've used for a long time but cannot find the source of where I got it from. Just put it in a folder then create a shortcut to the Quick Launch Toolbar.

I like it cause not only does it Lock Down my computer with one click .. It also runs my screensaver which defrags my hard drive.

Basicly it just activates the screensaver of your choice with one click.

Have Fun

Dunno if this has already been mentioned, but Slick Run is a favourite of mine. Shortcut enabled command line launcher, it's very customizable, small, and has a lot of neat features. Increases my productivity since I don't need to use the mouse and navigate through my Start menu.
The shortcuts can be programs, files, URLs, system commands like shutdown, etc.

The testimonials at the Cinnamon software download site for the talking alarm clock (see way at the bottom) tended to lend credibility to Kim Komando's recommendation. That's why I asked the question to Valis about potential issue. Note that Valis rightly noted in responding to you earlier that malware threats do encourage us to be cautious about downloads. I find that TSG forums are quite useful for checking things out in advance of downloading.
