FYI, Curt's mention of a dog was only peripherally linked to DocFetcher; Jim was actually referring to Chameleon Startup Manager: Try using Chameleon Startup Manager - it does that with ANY program for which I set up a startup delay. Annoying is much too mild a word for this.
If I could find another startup manager that handled start delays I drop this dog in a minute.

Registry compaction (as in, simply re-creating the hive files) shouldn't cause problems, but registry "repair" or "cleanup"? I've stayed clear from that kind of stuff for quite some time.Me too, as all to often they end up breaking something that is impossible to spot until it's to late.-f0dder (November 05, 2008, 01:39 AM)-Stoic Joker (November 09, 2008, 08:50 AM)

For personal user, the activation number is equal to the license number PLUS ONE, that is, if you have ONE license, you can activate it on TWO computers.
For enterprise user, ONE license can be activated on only ONE computer.
Where I was stationed when doing my military service (draft), we had a tube post system like that. And (mis)used it mainly to send food to each other...with or without those containers

When it was time to go to the next slide, it would play a chime sound and the brown-noser who used to run the projector would advance the filmstrip.-40hz (November 07, 2008, 06:02 PM)
I like the admonition against sticking your fingers in functioning fans at the bottom of the page ...as I recall it had a faint peppermint smell to it, so it didn't surprise me.
That smell takes me back every time...-Edvard (November 07, 2008, 12:41 PM)
Not to mention the buzz you'd get when your teacher was making heavy use of the old-style Magic Markers. Those were good for a headache that you could take home with you at the end of the school day. As I recall, we actually enjoyed that part.

Speaking of school technology - how about those tubs of white paste that had the consistency of peanut butter, which got doled out in scoops of for variouscrapcraft projects. Then along came "stickies" and "rub-ons," and those little bits of low-tech ended the days of "paste projects."-40hz (November 07, 2008, 12:01 PM)
Will keep trying... If I didn't already have Endnote (I've been using it since 2000) and have so much invested into it re: time and references, I'd stick with Zotero.Oh, I also hate the new folder icons in Vista, they're ugly.-f0dder (November 07, 2008, 10:27 AM)
I don't mind those, either
