I think it was Windows 98 that had a wallpaper file of a blue window in an adobe house, with various dried plants around it. Does anyone have a copy of that .bmp they can send to me at scottpcook@gmail.com? Thanks.

Adding applications to "Open with" pick-list
by Guest Franc Zabkar- 6 replies
- 956 views
When you hold down the Shift key and r-click a highlighted file in Explorer, or when you launch a file type for which there is no association, you are presented with an "Open with" pick-list. This list appears to be generated from the active file associations at the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT registry key. This means that if you have two applications which are used for opening PDF files, say, then only the currently active one will show up in the list. To select the other one, you need to choose "Other" and then browse for it. Currently what I'm doing is creating a dummy file type and associating the second application with the dummy. For example, Opera is my default…

Script Sentry question
by Guest thanatoid- 1 reply
- 516 views
Having seen Script Sentry mentioned here, I checked into it. It seems like a good alternative to what I have done - removing most of the scripting files from win\sys (with NO ill effects whatsoever I might add). But I did that before I even knew what a firewall etc. was, and anyway, firewalls don't guard you against a browser executing malware. I read about it and DL'd it and it looks like a pretty good piece of software to me. Anyone have much experience with SS? Care to comment? -- Those who cast the votes decide nothing.

A hidden registry key?
by Guest ms- 15 replies
- 1.1k views
I use Winpatrol, and it kept showing a warning that Script Sentry wanted to open reg extensions. I selected No. I uninstalled Script Sentry, no help, deleted all files on the drive for Script Sentry, no help. I ran RegSeeker, cleaned all "safe" entries, and searched for SS, no entries. I ran RegEdit, searched for SS, no entries. I don't like them, but ran a relatively safe cleaner, Wise Registry Cleaner, still get the WinPatrol warning screen, the path it shows does not exist in my Utilities folder. Cold boots in between. So it appears Script Sentry is still somewhere in my registry, how to locate it? ms

click-jacking - how many times must you be warned?
by Guest MEB- 8 replies

Well, yet another aspect of what I have presented in this forum has now been addressed. More of the malicious activity we find spreading across the Internet. Click-jacking http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=1972&tag=nl.e539 From the article: QUOTE: With this exploit, once you're on the malicious web page, the bad guy can make you click on any link, any button, or anything on the page without you even seeing it happening. [ SEE: Adobe Flash ads launching clipboard hijack attack ] If that's not scary enough, consider than the average end user would have no idea what's going on during a Clickjack attack.

Open With from a command line
by Guest Franc Zabkar- 11 replies
- 1.1k views
In Explorer, highlighting a particular file and r-clicking it while holding down the Shift key brings up a context menu with an "Open with" option. Is there any way I can automate this via a single command line? I'm thinking of something like this ... some_command.exe /option_1 ... /option_n %1 .... where %1 is the file I wish to open. Would rundll32.exe or explorer.exe have appropriate command line options? - Franc Zabkar -- Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email.

BACKUP for Windows 98
by Guest DiDi- 5 replies

I have a Dell desktop,XPST-450 that I don't use. It filled up, and I bought a new Vista and I use that.. I want to backup all of the data from Windows 98 on the old machine to a 1 tb external hd with a usb port. I think this can be done with an IMAGE for Windows by Terabyte. Then I can delete/uninstall the original data from the Windows 98 machine and take it to my place in Florida and use it there for the Winter, and leave it there, instead of transporting my new Vista Machine back and forth. The problem is that if I want to restore any part of the Image backup to the 98se machine, I don't believe it can be done with the Windows Image according to the …

Do I Need a Registry Cleaner?

"My computer seems to get slower and slower. A friend told me to clean my registry. Will that really help, and how can I do that?" Cleaning the Registry Yes, your computer will run better if you occasionally clean your Windows system registry. But first, let's define exactly what the registry is. The registry is a database in which Windows keeps track of relationships between hardware and software. It stores all the settings and options for the operating system, hardware, software, users, and preferences of the PC. The registry manages your system startup options, and keeps track of all software that's installed. Prior to the introduction of the Registry in Wind…
