Well, today I was changing the settings inside AnVir Task Manager Pro, and the following words that I never read or understood before  suddenly made new sense to me:
 (see attachment in previous post)
This will explain why Outpost was able to cause problems; it was checking all traffic and each and every homepage I was visiting. AnVir knew all along that such a feature can cause errors!

Finished Programs / Re: DONE: small prog to hide desktop icons
« on: May 18, 2010, 07:53 PM »
Don't know why, but in compiled version on my system, if I right click on the system tray icon and click settings, it looks like it tries to create HideDesktop.ini in C:\Windows\System32. (See screenshot attached.) The ahk version doesn't do this and brings up the .ini file correctly in Notepad, and in the same folder as the .exe. I have the .exe in a subfolder of C:\Tools and I am running Windows 7 64 bit.

Anyway it is very useful to hide desktop icons to make it easy to show off the Windows background (are we still allowed to call it wallpaper?)

Find And Run Robot / Re: FARR crashes after installing AltTab plugin

For me, and I am also using Windows 7 x64, FARR doesn't crash but it tries to access the A: drive for some reason. It was giving an error which I didn't write down, just now I tried it and I no longer seem to get the error, but I can hear the diskette drive grunting as soon as I hit that space after typing in "tab".

Living Room / Re: Google Search

You can do a Case Sensitive Google Search here. It's kind of surprising to me as well that Google doesn't offer it, since Altavista used to have a case sensitive search back in the Netscape 2 / Windows 3.1 / Trumpet Winsock era. I think regular expression searches were common back then even. Of course the web was smaller then, but still--
