Reply to Registry editing... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Glad to see you found a user-friendly way to change precisely the key I was talking about, with "no harm done". The best followup on this would be to check that you still have access once in awhile in case it recurs and you need to figure out if you''re unwittingly changing it yourself or if some maleficent other factor is to blame. Good luck ! [Message Edited]

Yep, I was a little late in qualifying my advice, that's for sure. In any event, I think at least looking at Group Policy or the relevant registry key FIRST would yield VITAL information in diagnosing the problem. And, yes, I have indeed predicated all of this strictly based on my experience with Win XP . Hope IP writes back soon with more info.

Oh Hell ! I almost forgot, you REALLY need to know what you're doing when you edit the registry, so be sure you back up your registry before you do this ! Sorry if the above is a bit too technical. If so, hopefully someone can post you something more user friendly in addition to Journeyman's search suggestion above.

If you`re running Win XP, try importing this key into your Windows registry: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System] "DisableRegistryTools"=dword:00000000 Save the above two lines into a text file (on your Desktop, for instance), naming it somethin.reg (the ".reg" is what counts). Then double-click the icon on your desktop and let it import to registry. If this doesn`t work, you may want to try creating a separate user account

#4 Just for future reference, it's good to get rid of all system restore points as part of a virus removal procedure anyways. Otherwise, it still haunts you.

#55 Well, I lived there 3 months once, but that didn't influence my comment. Anyways, it was my mistake. I think I actually heard what I quoted in #54 on a Monty Python's Flying Circus episode and the guy pronounced human as "hoo-man". What I really should have said was "I see people write ..." A quick web search would probably lead you to conclude that Americans are more confused about it than are the Brits. <img src="http://images.stardock.

Reply to Sooooo.... can you create a Universe??? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Aaah... Crud ! I'm not gonna bite off too much of this one on the quantum physics side because I'm sure I'd overstep my proficiency and some smart physicist would mow me down. However, without articulating in detail, I don't think there is a necessary and PROVEN disconnect between Creationism and the Big Bang. I just think we lack the ability to bridge that gap for now and am content to allow my faith to do that for me.

Reply to A question about iconpackager... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

helenangel: I like George''s work. I really wanted to see closer looks at the church (?) with some tumbledown walls (?) in the foreground and REALLY wanted to get a closer look at "the hug" in the clouds. Alas, the server (on one end or the other) went down and I couldn''t get back. Will try again soon. I guess you subscribed but only DL`d a few Icon Packs in the 2 years of the subscription ? Or is your subscription still in effect ? I do recall the IconPack library

#17 by Sir SpyderbyteGraphX - 5/19/2004 9:08:42 PM Well, I came back after all, for good reason... Yes, I heard you well Spydy. My take away is that having "class" requires constraint and deliberation and I think that`s worth striving for. That`s to everyone`s benefit. Decayed_Katze : my apologies for being pissy about it.

# 11 Understood. Regardless who flamed first, I said I''m off it and that''s it. Of course, if I just came out and spoke of my offense at being called a sales person, I''m sure there`d be sales people beatin` on me. [Message Edited]

... I just like having the WB skin. Also the rude comment about the price from the first sales person was really unnecessary, you dunno everyone`s situation off this site. 1) As I am not a "sales person", you are the pot calling the kettle black insofar as our knowledge of each other goes, `K ? 2) The comment about the price was intentionall

The 50 megabytes you already downloaded is a pretty generous start. Bear in mind you don't HAVE to pay the exhorbitant price of $0.83 per month for two years of access (or whatever it works out to), you could just buy the cheapest Stardock program you can find and, unless I'm mistaken, you'll get a year's subscription to WC. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmiddle"

Reply to Interest about *Dew Point* in Sysmetrix info ? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I see, and "real life" examples of the significance of dew point given in #7 are chopped liver, right ? There''s no practical reason I can think of to calculate relative humidity from the dew point, mainly because it''s a pretty expensive entailment to measure dew point directly. You can "calculate" anything from anything else as long as there''s a monotonic mathematical correlation (i.e., "c
