WASHINGTON — The end of summer means back to school for millions of college students across North America. But welcome week won't be much fun for at least 500 students at some of the best U.S. schools.

thx Bichur...you always come thru for me....I can assure you from past experiences reformatting or 'restoring' that the emoticons are definitely stored on the hard-drive as after 'cleaning house' + reinstalling on a freshly 'restored' C drive there is no trace left behind of the emoticons' as advised when initializing the 'restore disc' that 'all data on C will be destroyed, do you wish to continue'....the .gif's are obviously stored in a format that I am unaccustomed to seeing + not sure how MS

wonderful to hear of this ongoing research,developement + troubleshooting of the worthwhile Objectdock app that has that on/off annoying weather update bug....will be cool to be able to truly trust one's eyes again w the pop-up five day forecast + daily/hourly reading once more + not have to check it against the DX version for accuracy

It isn't the easiest thing in the world to magically convince people NOT to be arseholes ALL the time...ignore the serial twits and just 'get along' with those who matter [to them] a serious challenge to 'ignore' unneccessary negativity + pettiness lol...yep...the forums can be toxic well summed up Paul as per usual

What exactly is your point? Do you just like to hear yourself talk? If you don't have any help to offer why don't you find some other forum to give your opinions and "words to the wise" good for you Peter for calling out this very annoying aspect when a 'member of the community' is having annoying + very frustrating tech issues w no resolution only to get feedback on said thread that 'mine is working fine' w a 'lol' period, no extension of insight, troublesh

hey Chaz...please refer to this thread regarding this vexing problem https://forums.wincustomize.com/?aid=151108#1203981 ;also when 'searching' the forums on Objectdock v1.9, the chapter + verse of numerous similar problems worldwide is staggering...the 'zoom' aspect of this app with regard to folder + app shortcuts is what it has always been - smooth, seamless + polished but the weather docklet fiasco of forecasts being out of sync as well as temps being quite off + problems in Stardock

When I was just out of college in the late 1980's, I made a lot of computer house calls in New York (all right, apartment calls).
