just tried out this potentially useful feature. but there's a problem because it captures normal sentences containing keywords such as 'http' or 'ftp'. is there way to add a rule to say that if source of capture is from browser's location bar then show in this folder.

this is not exactly in the help file but since we're on the topic of typos. in the f+rr folder, there is a file called "DefauiltAliasesGroup.ini". just wondering if it should be "DefaultAliasesGroup.ini".

yes, for on-screen viewing, Foxit Reader is much better since Adobe is increasingly focussed on pushing Yahoo/Google/<insert your search engine here> toolbars to users. also not to mention the bloat that each version adds..

ok, then. btw, while Install Creator is GUI-based, Inno Setup is totally script-based. so you might want to check out one of the 3rd party tools that provides GUI interface: ISTool.

thanks for the info, app but i already use Skype. my reason for using Google talk is same as yours, due to restrictive policies..

anyway, it looks like Google's chat program is riding on Jabber's protocol since i configured miranda's Jabber.dll to pass as GTalk.dll.

yes, having included Servant Salamander, the author does have some nice words to say about it. it may be my personal preference but as a former NC user, i am more at home with the Salamander's interface. while other file managers are more likely to ring a bell with those who started out with Windows Explorer.

btw, Salamander's developers do intend to support unicode, eventually. more info here..

quite a good review but a mention of my favourite Servant Salamander would have been nice. also might want to add XYPlorer too..

yes, mouser's right. if you installed the graphics driver from the oem cd, then it's probably outdated. you have to visit the website of the GPU chipmakers (nVidia, ATI, etc) and get the latest drivers..
