Reply to The Fox Is in Microsoft's Henhouse (and Salivating) in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Kobrano, disabling ActiveX support in IE makes it so much more secure in that case. It kind of amuses me that Firefox is considered more secure because it does not have ActiveX support.

You CAN disable ActiveX support in IE. Using that same logic the most secure way t

Blah this color! in SkinStudio Help JoeUser Forums

I am aware that this article is partially redundant. I've written similar article in about a year ago but it was concerning icons. IconDeveloper is fairly similar in this term to SkinStudio since they share a great deal of their code base. However there I suppose there may be a significant number of people not realizing that - hence the article. So we have christmas again. I tell you - I love <A href="https://www.wincustomize.com

How to make a compact start menus in a substyle in WindowBlinds Tutorials JoeUser Forums

Basically the answer is - It's not a bug - It's a feature. It's like that by design. If you select a prefix on save then you will get another start menu as well, otherwise skinstudio will use the same stuff for 2 reasons. 1) it does not know how to name the new "xpstuff.xp". 2) it does not know whether you really want to break the connec

Look at it this way though... he's just had a ton of free advertising. Advertising to people who have not tried DX, Kaps or Ave before, and they will buy this instead.
