RE: Microsoft banning old MSN versions?

I'm just afraid of logging out of my current MSN connected identities to later find out that the workaround won't work, in which case I won't be able to access the contacts' data sotred in Plus!. | alegator | Skype & Live Messenger | 09-13-2007 at 05:52 AM |

RE: "All programs" overflow/Any fix?
The problem with grouping like applications together is that when uninstalling you have to manually remove the entry from the list (no big deal but still a drawback). Regarding the scrolling option, it is really slow having all this programs installe... | alegator | Tech Talk | 05-29-2007 at 09:18 AM |

"All programs" overflow/Any fix?
When I click on "START/ALL PROGRAMS" the listing exceeds the screen's width, so some programs on the rightmost area of the screen are not visible. How can I access them? Is there a 3rd party plugin that will make them visible in a "2nd page"? | alegator | Tech Talk | 05-29-2007 at 03:19 AM |

RE: Running an experiment
Ok, so say my unprotected PC is hacked. What can a hacker do and not do? Can he only read my files, read all of them or just a certain directory, or also is he able to control my PC completely? (delete, format, change settings, etc etc)? | alegator | Tech Talk | 04-30-2007 at 10:32 AM |
