    There is a problem with SynchToy 1.4 - it doesn't run on x64. (MS forgot to set the app type to 'x86' instead of 'Any plattform'. They use a dll wich only runs in 32bit mode.) Once you install the application on your machine, download attached file and copy it in the application installation folder thus overwriting the original file. Of course, before copy you should unzip the file SyncToy.zip

    ClutterBuster is an application that will hold most of the shortcuts, to software, that you have on your desktop. Each button can be set by right clicking and selecting the .exe file you want to associate with it. The button will show the image, from the icon found in the .exe file. If it has no icon, the button will show blank. When you close ClutterBuster it will store all of the info in an .ini file. Once you set it, you can then delete all the clutter from your desktop and use ClutterBuster to access your programs instead. Homepage & Download

  6. ok, this one is weird...whenever i highlight icons, a certain portion of them turns this ugly green color. it does this regardless of the color of the file's icon. im almost positive the problem is rooted in something stylexp did to my uxtheme.dll file: i compared file hashes from the uxtheme i have now and the one on my XP install disk and they dont match up. also the one on my disk is almost twice the size. i tried going into safe mode and overwriting the uxtheme file with the one on my install disk, but after rebooting explorer refuses to start...says it cant even find uxtheme.dll. any ideas??

    Tired of waiting an eternity for your computer to boot? Malware could be the culprit, so make sure to run anti-spyware software. But another cause of slow booting is all the software that's trying to run the moment Windows starts. Startup Delayer takes a clever approach to this by letting you delay selected programs. For example, I need my anti-virus and desktop-search programs to run right away, but Adobe Reader Speed Launcher? iTunesHelper? LightScribe Control Panel? They can wait. Using Startup Delayer, I can configure programs like those to run at, say, 2-minute intervals, starting a full 15 minutes after I've booted my system. Genius! The program also acts as a start…

    A while ago I came across AOL Desktop, it looked good in most parts and had some good features, but it had many downsides; 1. Built on Internet Explorer and 2. The whole program is just advertising for AOL products. If this had been made and branded as Netscape Desktop it would have much better. This gave me an idea instead of having four or five separate product lines why not have one Internet Suite that has all the benefits of all Mozilla products in one smaller package. It would make a lot of sense, for example it would prevent competition between Firefox and SeaMonkey. Below is a short list of other benifets: - @ Easier and faster to develop, not as many of Mozilla…
