What's with the "Yours" rating scale? in WinCustomize Site Issues WinCustomize Forums

I haven't been here in a little while, and I stumbled across another rating, the "Yours" rating, next to the "Average Rating". And apparently, if you're logged on, you can slide your mouse across to rate it I guess. (Haven't tried it yet). *browses my library*. Oh, good. People can't rate their own stuff. I was wondering about that. So, I wonder why this site decided to add this new Rating system? So far, every "Your" rating i've seen is at zer

Reply to How to: Back Up – Or Weep in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I don't use backup software. Just good ol' fashioned Cut'n & Pastin' in Windows Explorer. I manually back up Files & Folders to my external hard drive, flash drive, and now my old PC. It's tedious and time-consuming, but I don't trust backup software enough to know whether ALL of my files have really moved or not. I need to see all my files & folders with my own eyes. I don't recommend this method for most people. Even I lose some of

Reply to New and dissapointed in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I almost left the site once. I had lots of stuff then, but I was concerned about other sites using my stuff without permission. (At the time, I thought my stuff was ONLY on WinCustomize, but I was dead wrong.) Later realized that once stuff goes online, it stays online (even after deletion). I Moved on, and still love WinCustomize. As for uploading, you could TRY to make your own graphics instead of using photos. (Requires a bit more talent, but

Reply to Weight Loss Pills in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I'm 5'9" and 130 pounds, so I don't have to worry about losing weight. And on days I work, I probably consume around 3500-4500 calories. (and don't gain a pound!) That's because i'm on my feet all day and constantly burn calories all the time. But besides the point, you could try eating less, or better yet, look at nutrition labels at the grocery store to see what you're REALLY buying. I do this, even though i'm not overweight, because I don't want to be sor

[quote who="JuniorCrooks" reply="34" id="2885790"]Not owning a computer makes you stupid? I don't think so. I would debate that owning a computer makes you stupid. People do not know how to think for themselves in today's world. For many solving simple things cannot be accomplished unless they have a machine that does it for them. Even schools allow students to bring calculators to class. We then wonder why the cashier cannot give us the correct change when we buy our coffee. Heck some kids c

Is CS any better than say...Elements 9 (the newest version?) or Paint.NET v3.56? If not, then no. Let alone, if it's even compatible with Vista/Se7en. (CS was designed for XP, the newest Windows OS of the time.)

I've got Audacity & Malwarebytes on this list. What about WinRAR? It's decompression speed is LIGHTNING FAST (compared to WinZip or Windows' built-in decompressor, plus ".rar" file compatibility) regardless of how big the .zip or .rar (even on my other 6-year-old PC). I highly recommend WinRAR to be added to this list.

Reply to WindowFX 4: Inactive Windows in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I wouldn't recommend darkening inactive windows if you're editing images/photos. Every time you load an effect, the image you're working on will darken. (Accurate Color/Shading Representation means EVERYTHING when it comes to image editing.) I left my inactive Windows to stay "light" (normal). But darkening windows is great if you're doing non-graphical work such as excel spreadsheets, word documents or databases.

Pros: Awesome Technology! But...how can you control where you want to go? Cons: This product will just give another excuse to laziness and contribute to the ever-increasing obesity epidemic (if it becomes very popular). Let alone, it'll make people (more specific, sedentary) never want to walk again. Can walking honestly become a thing of the past? I don't think so. I'd rather walk to be honest.

Worst Case Scenario: If you're forced to upgrade to a new machine that CAN'T run XP* (like mine), install and run Virtual PC. It's not quite the same as having a machine with XP-era hardware, but it can still do almost anyting a "normal" PC could do. It's just that it uses pre-made "software-emulated" hardware in which you can't upgrade. But heck, it's still running full-blown XP. And you can migrate data between the host and virtual PC's. Th

StardockDreamMaker.exe is a Trojan. in DeskScapes WinCustomize Forums

I don't know if any of you are in the same boat as me, but after I downloaded "StardockDreamMaker.exe" the first time I ran the executable and my freeware antivirus (IOBit Security 360) says it's a trojan. But when I scanned it with Microsoft Security Essentials, it says that there's nothing wrong with it. Did the same with MalwareBytes AntiMalware and says there's no threats either. And I have a screenshot of IOBit Security 360's threat to prove it. <A href="
