I remember back when I was using Windows XP there was a shell extension that allowed you to have your Desktop Icons as a list view.

I was going through all the Vista power options, trying to get my Hibernation mode back on, which seemed to have disappeared.

Well, I have been setting up / copying / backing up stuff from Rachelle’s laptop to mine, and it is finally all done. The laptop runs beautifully, can really notice the difference going from 32bit Vista to 64bit, everything is just so much more snappy and executes faster. Rachelle also bought a new camera today,… Read More
In a previous post I wrote about how much the new connection manager (2.10.4) mutilates the connection on the computer. Well currently there is a simple fix that addresses the issue. I have tested it multiple times and seems to work fine on both, Windows Vista and Windows XP. Here is the following commands that… Read More
Well I have decided not to get the dell anymore, since they can’t provide a tax invoice until I receive the goods. So Rachelle and I went looking around on Wednesday for a new laptop, and ended up going to Joyce Mayne to see a friend, Josh. After waiting quite awhile since he was serving… Read More
