Thanks, mouser. I thought it was about time I formally introduced myself considering I'm on the forum so much lately.-siouxdax (April 02, 2009, 02:07 PM)

How do I backup my emails in Thunderbird other than MozBackup?http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup-siouxdax (April 02, 2009, 01:56 PM)
In a former existence I was responsible for the upkeep of a large number of laptops
...
The most workable solution was to have 3 partitions.
- Partition 1 was the OS and application suite.
- Partition 2 was a 20Gb recovery repository.
- Partition 3 was the userdata & tempfile area.
We did a clean install of the OS; added the SP's; updated any drivers; added the apps suite and updated those - and then ran Trueimage to create a "genesis" image which was stored on Partition 2. That way (come heaven, hell, or Hollywood) we could have anybody back in business in ten minutes no matter what hit them-40hz (February 27, 2008, 12:48 PM)
Ah. I never thought about that. Good idea. I wish I had done that prior to this re-install. But I'll be sure to do that next time around (hopefully I won't have to).-siouxdax (April 02, 2009, 07:12 AM)
- also, I suspect no matter how you install xp there's going to be teething problems, I certainly had a bunch ... (or lack of same ).I think it's a good idea to focus on specifics, but it should be up to each participant which specifics that should be. For instance, email or my physical desktop are pretty much the only things that I don't consider a mess... ok, a bit of an overstatement, but you get the idea
A better idea, IMHO, would be for each participant to publicly list which specifics he/she would like to focus on and maybe make regular posts about the progress. How often? I don't know, but let's say an update every week or so. Obviously you're not responsible for this to anyone but yourself, but I imagine that for me at least, it would be an extra incentive to get things done if I'll have reveal my progress. It's not too cool seeing everyone else making huge strides towards getting organized if I still can't get anything done. This way, we can also give each other tips and ideas along the way.

my list (themes) would be something along these lines
clearing backlog - mostly stuff in boxes
à la my post above - expectation/sense of obligation -> procrastination (avoiding/reacting because of pressure from self or others)
Again, I cant remember the third ... (organisation comes to mind as another theme!)
And because it would be individual projects it really doesnt matter how many or how few get involved - obviously nicer to have a bunch of people involved though-tomos (November 18, 2008, 03:11 AM)

Even though my 140Gb disk is only 40% used, I figgered it was time to clean up, I knew the trick of reducing the % allocation. Looking at the XP stuff I got a couple of surprises. Before I reduced the 12% (18Gb..ugh) I noticed that was 90 days, maybe 150 restore points ! And I only want a couple. Normally I had heard of reducing to 5% or so, but it was clear that 1% should be a good try. And even that .. left about 20 days of restores ! . What was perplexing was that 0% , the 200 mb minimum, resulted in the same number of points, none were taken away !? ... hmmmm
Anyway, then I wanted the 15+ Gibabytes to show up .. somewhere. I tried Auslogics Disk Defrag, but the numbers were unchanged. Same with WinDirStat, and their numbers agree with XP Computer Management. So either .. the Restore Points were not picked up as disk space, or it needs a reboot to wake up the numbers. That is where I am now. I'll report back after the reboot, it would seem strange that these programs would not consider System Restore space as used space, if that is the case.-Steven Avery (April 01, 2009, 08:15 AM)
When was your last BSOD?-zridling (March 31, 2009, 03:29 PM)
I discussed the matter of the IMHO way too limited tagging option with the programmer years ago. It's obviously not one of his top priorities.I think the tagging in ExifPro is to help you select images for printing or moving etc (i.e. short term, limited)
Create several tag files, but not too many, don't get tempted to use tags as keywords. Use other software to add exif keywords instead.-Maggy160 (January 15, 2008, 03:38 PM)

Then there's this to think about (see attachment in previous post) from Josh-cranioscopical (March 24, 2009, 10:36 PM)
Boy! I've seldom seen a unanimous response like this to a question here (or anywhere else).
All good, sound advice with partisan leanings set aside in favour of informed common sense based on the situation described.

But there are options to choose.does it recommend any of those?
You can put your directories at the beginning or end of the drive.
Ascending or descending.
Or you can leave the directories where they are.-cmpm (March 24, 2009, 09:04 AM)
