Windows Me - 'How To Guide'
Looking good.....and I think we could co-author that *book*!! You can
do the selling in the UK/Europe and I will cover Canada & the States. Must start making notes on really common, basic newbie problems and questions. Raining ice here today. Can't go out until the big freeze stops. Which should be about dinnertime, so the drive home from work is going to be one SOB for those poor souls that have to work. (eg) XX Figgs "Noel Paton" wrote in message ... Go for it, Figgs!!! BTW - the framework for the new page is now up..... http://www.crashfixpc..com/OptME.htm let me know what you think! - I'll flesh out the page with detailed instructions later. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Heather" wrote in message ... "Noel Paton" wrote in message ... You're forgiven g - if for no other reason than that you've spurred me into thinking about putting my thoughts on the subject down on paper, and thence up on my site! A *thence* would be nice. As in white picket? (groan) I have been saying for years that I am going to write a newbie pamphlet/book......all about cleaning your computer and AV's and firewalls and so on. No one teaches newbies anything and if they don't know about these groups, they are totally lost. I got the idea after helping several friends and neighbours who didn't know they had to update an AV, or clean out TEMP files and cookies and so on. Working title could be.....*So you just bought a new computer.....now what* or words to that effect, lol. Subtitles of course. Maybe I better stick to crocheting doilies, lol Figgs -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Heirloom" wrote in message ... Noel, All I can say is that this site is one that was referred to back in my Me days. Not that I complied with everything on the site and it has been a long time since I have even looked through it......just remembered it as being pretty good and detailed. If it is that bad, I sincerely apologize and bow to your superior knowledge of the subject. I have removed it from my Favorites list. One thing I did notice in your reply, shouldn't the link for Adaware be http://www.lavasoft.de/ ???.....or did you post the link to the 'bad site?'.....surely, not. Heirloom, old and humbled "Noel Paton" wrote in message ... I can agree with most things in that site - but NOT sections 8, 9 or 16...... (more later - most likely tomorrow) Section 18 is redundant if you're done the reinstall properly, as it should have corrected any errors in the VMM32.vxd file - and if you haven't done it properly, then the chances are that IE won't work) As far as the tweaking section goes (#19) - most of those programs are not worth the paper that they're written on (before printing!!) I could list the problems, but I consider it a waste of everyone's time. so I'll list the programs worth thinking about ( in the right circumstances!!) Adaware (properly called Ad-Ware, since a program called adaware also floats around, and is a VERY bad thing!) - www.lavsoftusa.com TweakUi - from (and ONLY from) - http://www.microsoft.com/ntworkstati.../nttweakui.asp Belarc Advisor from http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html Trend Micro's House Call at http://housecall.antivirus.com/pc_housecall ALL of the others are unnecessary and in some cases WILL lead to problems!! If you have problems with Scandisk - find out what's causing the problem, rather than working around it - the chances are that it's slowing your system down anyhow! System Restore should NEVER be removed - although there are circumstances under which it may be appropriate to disable it. CacheMan is an accident waiting to happen (flames, awaitedg) WinRescue is total BS. RamPage WILL kill your system if you give it half a chance etc.... etc.... Really, H - I thought we had you better educated than this!! I can see that I'm going to have to create another page of my own! -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Heirloom" wrote in message ... http://www.burzurq.com/forum/trevtweak.html Add this one to the list, as well.

Try this instead http://www.google.co.uk/search?as_q=...ghts=&safe=off or http://tinyurl.com/aqv9v (it works better, anyhowg) I've flagged it - hopefully we'll either get a new link, or they'll reinstate the old one -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "AAH" wrote in message ...

Windows Me - 'How To Guide'
Mighty fine, Noel. See that? You can't even afford to go anywhere with your *knees up* bg. You are much too much needed here. The book for newbees has been written many times over. All that needs to be done now is, to compress it in print form in the name of all those *who care* (alias: Figgs) g. Boy, am I in trouble now?? Harry. "Noel Paton" wrote in message ...
