It just perfectly does what I (rarely) need, it's free and easy to use - I don't care about the other features I don't use. yes, i agree... i'm thinking of heading to AHK forum to check if anyone has a script on doing this. will post here if i find any...

a potentially useful tool: Use NoSleep! in order to enjoy DVDs without interruptions or to run the Disk Defragmenter undisturbed by the screen saver...
NoSleep! temporarily deactivates the screen saver and some of your computer's standby features (as far as they are controllable by software). It does so either by disabling those services through system calls or by emulating keyboard activity. URL: zeniko's webspace

Kid game?? That means i'm stupid?  some levels further on became a bit too dificult for me :S don't worry, there are web-sites which have posted screen-shots with the sequence completed for each & every level. I found this when I was searching to see if there was an english version of the game but as not to spoil the fun or to tempt me I didn't keep the link...

At this moment, 20240 members, 19224 posts. Does anyone but me find it sad that total number of members has consistently been running at about 1,000 higher than the total number of posts? hmm... this makes me wonder, how many members have actually posted out of the 20k-plus? is there a way to find out?

actually, i use command-line tool called Eject to open/close a CD-ROM drive... this is mainly for batch files & automated scripts but once in a while when i'm going thru several CDs, it will be nice to have an icon in the system-tray that opens/closes in a button-click. no offense, brotherS but tools like AbsoluteControl add too much feature for their own good that it ends up as an overkill...

well, that's another launcher to the dumps... by run-box, i assume that you mean windows' run-box... anyway since i started using f+rr, all others look a distant second and i'm not the one for eye-candy gui launchers. now if only f+rr has a feature for folder browsing...

...it does look like they are slowly positioning themselves to take on the juggernaut eBay.... yes, apparently they want to be in internet what Microsoft already is consumer/corporate PC market... To quote Ampa, "Difficult to know whether that is a good thing or not..."

Google acquires Writely, a full-functioned, Ajax-based word processor that allows you to do most anything in your browser that you would be able to do with a machine-based program, short of a full-fledged office application. Full report here. As Google adds yet another app to its arsenal of suites, will we be seeing a new trend here?

I was interested to see both AllChars and AHK. I'd have thought that AHK would have removed the need for AllChars?
What's KatMouse? i'm still learning to *harness* the powers of AHK... ;-) so I'm keeping AllChars as a backup... Katmouse is a mouse-wheel enhancer. its key feature is: moving the mouse wheel will scroll the window directly beneath the mouse cursor (not the one with the keyboard focus, which is default on Windows OSes).
