I was typing jafo.wincustmize.com, and I hit the enter button by accident. This is where it sent me: http://thomasleigh.tripod.com/jafo/jafo.html Hmm, wonder what a jafo google search would turn up?

Congrats on the new PC Have fun getting it all set up. Set yourself up with an Administrator account, but put the rest of the family on limited accounts until they can learn good downloads from bad.

I recently decided to give LS another try (first experience......could have been better. went back to Explorer pretty quick) I DL'ed a few themes, Antares II among them. Beautiful work, though I don't care for animation most of the time. I've been using the tenjo theme most though. Nice and unobtrusive. I was starting to think LS had been forgotten until Jafo (mighty standard-bearer of Litestep <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles

I use a 2 year old Gateway, my Dad has two, and my brother has a Gateway laptop, and we've had very little trouble with anyof them. I have however added more RAM, a video card, and a bigger power supply to this one. You can usually get a pretty good package deal from any of the big manufacturers. They can save money by using proprietary parts (this PC came with a 130 Watt power supply, how long you think that lasted?) and of course they get the O

To open a group of tabs on launch, open the four sites you want in tabs ( you may need an "open new tab" icon on your toolbar if you don't already have one there. To put one there right-click on teh toolbar, and from teh window that opens drag the "new tab" icon onto the toolbar) You can get the 4 tabs open either by opening a new tab with the icon you just dragged onto the toolbar, and then typing in the site address, or you can right-click on a boo

I had to buy a new CD/RW drive recently. First I started noticing little skips on music CDs, and within a few weeks, whenever I tried to write a CD I got a message saying to insert a writable disc or that it could not recognize the CD. I bought a $39 MadDog 52X CD/RW, on sale at Microcenter. It was even supposed to come with Nero Express. Surprise, no Nero (Drive works great BTW, really quiet) I emailed the customer support after registering. Th

When you title a post "HELP ME PLEASE!" people are going to assume that you need help with a pressing problem. After looking at your link, that visual style looks very much like WindowsMax https://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=4584&LibID=1

kona, if you go to bookmarks>manage bookmarks and click "view" there are different view options. Maybe if you play with it a little you can get it pretty close to how it looked in IE.

I've had Norton pop-up windows a couple times saying it blocked or deleted "such-and-such category trojan" and almost every time I go to CNet.com I get non-stop Norton pop-up warnings that it blocked my computer from giving them my social security number (or at least the last four digits) When Norton works it's great, but when you do have problem it's a real pain. Maybe how it behaves as far as blocking malicious code depends on which of their pro

To configure your tabbed browsing, Tools>Options>Advanced>Tabbed Browsing. Then select how you want it to behave. I heve mine set to open in the same window since I usually have multiple sites open at the same time, it's easier for me to manage that way. I use 4-button trackball mouse, so mouse gestures don't do much for me. I like Target Alert and IE view extensions. Target alert shows what a link links to (site, PDF, etc...) and IE View opens th

Opera: http://www.download.com/Opera/3000-2356_4-10307751.html?tag=lst-0-1 Like I said earlier, I would (probably) use Opera over Firefox if it didn't cost $39. You can use the ad-supported version, but that gets old pretty quick. I know $39 isn't that high for good software, but to me it's just not worth it for what I see as a minimal gain. I'm not sure how they are as far as extensions, but they do have a good variety of themes. I tried

Kona, I will admit that some FF users can be quite "enthusiastic" in their support. Kinda like the Linux users at Slashdot. Anyway, the tests I linked to showed Opera to be overall fastest on a Windows platform. If speed is the total goal then why not run Opera? Hope I didn't offend you with the cornflakes comment- I was just trying to lighten things up a little. <

My pleasure, dharma. I haven't poked my head in JU for a while, but I always liked reading your articles. I grew up near Wright-Patterson AirForce Base, with lots of friends and family in the Air Force. If you want to speed up FF even more, type "about:config" (without the quote marks)then scroll down to the line that says networking.http.pipelining, change the value to "true" by right clicking and selecting "toggle" The line right below that
