Yep, but it registers the last timestamp for everything, whether is an user peeking at the file, or a program accessing it. Programs like jv16 PowerTools or TuneUp Utilities use that timestamp to decide if they should delete a temp file or not, so that's why I don't use it. Of course, all files residing in the TEMP directory are mostly safe to delete, but those programs search for files in other parts of the filesystem.If wiping out %TEMP% breaks an applicaiton, it's time to fill a bug report to the developers (the exception is if you've just installed something and haven't rebooted yet).-Lashiec (January 31, 2008, 09:24 AM)
In System Properties-Advanced-Performance-Settings-Humm, setting the scheduling to "Background services" should actually make your system a bit less responsive... what it does is controlling the "quantum" (or timeslice) that programs are allowed to run before they're pre-empted. Background Services = longer timeslice = worse for most people.
Advanced Tab, Under Process scheduling-
TQ Opt. changed it to having the processor to -
Adjust for best performance-*Background services*.
I had it on Programs
The Memory is still set to Programs.
My paging file is still set to the same settings I had it on.-cmpm (January 31, 2008, 08:44 AM)
And fodder, I don't think you know everything that runs in XP do you?I stopped that little exercise when moving to win2000, as it's pretty futile and pointless. It's not very interesting, either, what's important is knowing what used and running modules are used for.
What every .dll is for, every file does?-cmpm (January 30, 2008, 07:03 PM)
It makes system unusable as when program crashes for my system,it asks me to debug using Visual studio when any error props up.or sometimes it open VS on its own to debug it.Umm, why does that make your system unusable? You just hit "no" (or cancel or whatever it is) and get on with what you're doing. And in the case you're running one of your own debug-mode executables, being able to launch up the debugger is very convenient.-arunpawar
Fodder your calucaltion is wrong,VS installed many filetypes and CLSID which counts to about 1.9MB.And you think it is easy to ignore it?You said you counted 180+, I just increased those figures. But 1.9megabytes, is that a problem? Even on a 32gb disk (which is extremely small by todays standards, but chosen since it's the SSD size that's affordable without selling a kidney) 2 megabytes is a drop in the water.-arunpawar
Apart from registry keys there is also uninstaller of about 2mb each for every visual language like J# and C# is there in :/windows/syste32/somewhere i forgot.Which is not moving at all.Really? I searched for %SYSTEMROOT%\*.exe , >= 1500KB. What I found where .net framework compilers (installed with dotNET runtimes afaik, not visual studio), an OpenOffice file, nt*krnl.exe, and helpsvc.exe.-arunpawar
), which obviously doesn't support flac or cue sheets. Thanks for the Titleformat_Introduction link - it had a link at the bottom that has the really useful information.
. And thanks for the link, Lashiec, couldn't find it with "I'm in a hurry" google and on-site searches, and the context-sensitive help in foobar doesn't work.
GermaniX TranscoderDoes that one support cue sheets? Doesn't seem like it from the website, which is half English and half German-PhilB66 (January 30, 2008, 07:39 AM)
what about dBPowerAmp or BeSweet?Hm, didn't even think about dbPoweramp, I do own a license but I only use it for ripping-lanux128 (January 30, 2008, 07:21 AM)
. If it can handle cue/wav input, I should take a look at it, though. But iirc it uses fraunhofer and not LAME for MP3 codec, ho humm. ), which is just fine for foobar and other decent software players - but obviously my MP3 player wants mp3 files It does what it's supposed to do, and that's mostly blocking incoming traffic. Which is all you really need, also if you're "on the run" with a laptop. Especially if you're not very very cautious about the rules you set up with a more "advanced" software firewall, you could easily end up with a less secure system if you're the slightest bit careless.NB If my computer was a desktop that stayed at home I definitely wouldn't run more than XP Sp-2's firewall.-Darwin (January 28, 2008, 11:41 PM)
i'd true that as that is the only setup for me being behind a router-based firewall. the firewall software by Windows provides merely a placebo effect.-lanux128 (January 29, 2008, 01:58 AM)
I don't see the point of this. Can't you just select your own photo and choose "Use this as my Wallpaper" in Windows?From the screenshot, I gather that it's meant for using collages of various images?-Deozaan (January 28, 2008, 09:47 PM)
) send me a PM or (for important stuff) an e-mail. Fixing up the "send this topic" to include a textbox for short message, and be able to use the forum PM system instead of emails, could be a decent thing, though.
