TinJAw, you seemed to summarize so well, everyone seems to be mesmerized.  I had to add this is the best newsletter for DC to date, and many thanks to all.  Someday....cha-ching...the sound of my hefty donation.

I'm getting to this two weeks later, because I've been reading many many articles and follwing links all over DC, for many hours whenever I could find time.  Many are right in sync with the things I'm doing these days, like my multi-booting experiments, constant search for the better freeware, bug in a USB drive with a fixed drive letter (a virus?), need for humor (teledildonics was FUNNY!), neighborly recommendations here to give back, fixation with every update of Cliboard Help + Spell, etc.  IDEA: Tiny Notes app for multi-user network folders ...wow-wow!   The tally: 12 .mht/shortcut pages of tips saved, 5 softwares here and outside links, and I think 3 new additions to my bookmarks.  Mostly, a lot more knowledge.

   Thanks.  I've got the old Sygate Personal Firewall on this comp, and that'll never change as far as I see, but I've got another comp with a new set-up of XP, and heard this is the evolution of that classic Sygate.  I'm going to check it out.

Notesholder at http://notes.aklabs.com/ is a small dockable lightweight notetaker I've been using for years.

Good luck.

In the past few weeks, I'd just been looking for the simple syntax to add a Windows' Folder Options>File Types>[Higlighted File Type]Advanced>New... so that I could set "Printer Setup..." (also 'Preferences') in the Rt-Click context menu.  If I Print by rt-click, no dialog comes up, but the default printer spits it out.  Actually, my default is a pdf driver, but it spits it onto my screen.  I would have to add the new menu item one by one to each file type. 

Is this the right type of suggestion for ContextMenu Commander?     

How about a feature to add it on every file type that prints?  I saw the 'every file type' suggestion a few posts up.  I use MMM+ too, so if it's annoying somewhere, I can just slide it into the Dormant folder I made, that shows up on every file type anyway. 

I've picked up a useful 'copy to clipboard' from this forum for short names I'd been looking for this month too.  Great posts!

I'm adamant to find a photo album that'll compile on a calendar.  I found one, but they never got the bugs out, and they don't seem to be developing the software anymore.  http://snaplog.com/  I prefer to upload my own files.  I hope they add that feature. 

I haven't found the time to try JAlbum.  Do they have the calendar format, to links, to albums?  None of those type of program seem to include that diary type chronological stuff I'm looking for.

Thanks for your help!

Just clicking on the Desktop I get (I doubt you want this, but I'm clueless in this stuff):
>>>>>>>>>>( Window Title & Class )<<<<<<<<<<<
Program Manager
ahk_class Progman

By clicking near the on-screen display I get:
>>>>>>>>>>( Window Title & Class )<<<<<<<<<<<
DeskTask
ahk_class TFrmDeskTask

Is that enough information?

The program locks in position on the background, and when you unlock it that icon (or two or three depending on your preferences) is the drag facility.  Will that be affected? 

I went to their forum, and requested a new feature of an added separate transparency bar for the icons, but in the meantime, I'd love your solution.

I miss my old desktop, but a new used computer this month didn't work with the setup I spent many hours working on.  Your program will get me through the withdrawl.

It's like in an active desktop widget.  The little 16X16 picture isn't on the front desktop, it's on the background.  Sorry for the ambiguity.

Thanks skrommel, but Reshacker didn't work on this one.  It's an icon attached to Outlook, and I found security built in, probably because they deal with emails, which I don't use it for.  I've got basically every icon in my startmenu switched with Reshacker, so I'm very familiar with it. 

I have a program that is resident on my desktop, and a section defies the transparency settings the program provides.  I've set the font to a nice subliminal gray, but the icon, albeit small, is still distracting.  I imagine programming a section of the desktop to show in grayscale and then hidden when an active window opens.   An easier way might be to just create a slight increase in transparency in the set area.  The icon is 16X16 and might not even be noticed when the active window opens over it.  Would this be a worthwhile project for the programmers there?  Would I be the only beneficiary?  The program tells me my todo lists, etc., but could be useful for system monitors I've seen on some desktops, or a weather program with a stupid smiling sun, or something like that.

I hope this one fits your needs: Time track at http://www.bitcomputing.com/ is freeware and looks like a perfect fit.

I'm using v2.05.01.  I'd kinda guessed I was in a simple mode, but the v2.14 dissappeared first click every time.  As for the URLSnoopersettings, I just pulled it out of the recycle bin, as I'd reinstalled the old working version in a new folder, and deleted the old one.  Nothing looks screwy with it, but I'm no programmer.  Thanks for the advice.  I can't tell you enough how awesome the 'Snoop' is.

After doing an install on 2.14.02 I got a screen much different than the previous version.  Just 'File' and 'Help' in the menu bar.  The wizard found my network card np.  Anytime I clicked to do anything, the whole program vanished off the screen.  I tried the two choices I've mentioned, and rebooted.  I ran WMP, then URLSnooper, and a right-click on a found URL.  No icons in the system tray, nothing.  I tried reboot, and reinstall by a manual unzip.  I successfully uninstalled, and put an old version back on my comp np.  Since I did the uninstall, I might be useless to help with figuring out the problem, but I wanted to post it just in case the information is usefull.

Thanks for your time and a great program. 

Phone cords are disappearing from the backs of computers fast, but I'd plug mine in for a way to monitor phone calls through the voice modem.  I don't picture using the mic for the conversations, but rather just picking up the phone when I'm taken off hold.  There's an option to listen to the calls being dialed for my fax software, and I think Outlook has the option too, so it seems possible.  I've looked around extensively, and I haven't found anything close.  Has anybody thought this one up before?
