[quote]could they identity theft you that way?[/quote] I have Lifelock....I had issues with my debit card a couple years ago (Lowe's cashier) and since then I've caught someone trying to spoof me 2 more times. I have an address at 123 Main Street in New York City and someone tried to obtain a Conn. driver's license with my info... so I don't send anything like that via email.....

[quote]Considering any open wifi you find has the potential to be used for data mining I would wonder if that's what happened.[/quote] Anything's possible........but I don't broadcast my home SSID and use a pretty strong WPA passphrase and MAC address filter. My laptop's running W7 x64 Pro and I use different security setting for public vs private networks. I use MS Security Essentials (memory resident, updated daily, scanned weekly) and to my knowledge haven't had an infection. It's

[quote]How do you know and how was it hacked? Someone could login and send emails like if they were you?[/quote] Yes, and register on websites too. My wife got casino spam on her account that came from mine. I also rec'd a "confirmation" of registration with Kohl's Department store which I did not sign up for.

Reply to PDF manual doesn't match software in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

[quote]Page 26 of the PDF says that there is a "Use smart recolouring" checkbox on the Colors tab. There is not.[/quote] There is in the Full Version [quote]Page 53 of the PDF says there is an "active window opacity" and "Inactive window opacity" slider to the right of the "textures" that are listed on the Textures tab[/quote] I believe that should say Explorer Background tab instead of Textures. May also be Full version only.

Reply to No vertical scroll bar in TotalCommander's lister in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

[quote]The scrollbar doesn't look like skinned.[/quote] It's not skinned, but it is functional. As far as I can find, it's the only one in TC that's not skinned. This make me think it's likely an issue with TC and not Windowblinds. Ghisler wrote TC in Borland and it's not likely that TC will ever have a native 64 bit app (without a complete rewrite). I'd suggest you look at Dopus. It's a bit expensive, but from time to time you can find it about 40% off at BitsD
