My Profile

Is it important to choose a profile under 'My Profile'?

Harry.

Where do you see that then Harry? It would depend what you're referring to
as to whether or not it's important to choose one.

If you're talking specifically re the Win ME operating system then, no, it's
not important. When you first log on and type your name in the logon box,
and click 'OK' without typing in a password (after which you're no longer
presented with the logon box), and once the desktop has loaded and you click
Start, and the second option up is 'Log Off Harry' (presuming you typed
'Harry' in the logon box), that's all the profile you need.

But I'm not familiar with 'My Profile'.

Entirely my fault, Shane, I should have specified:
Look under SettingsControl PanelInternet OptionsContentMy Profile in
Personal Information.
Is that better?

OK Harry. I've never used it, so it certainly isn't necessary. Actually I
don't even know what it's for - except, maybe, that it won't be something
I'd put much faith or any trust in.

That's good enough for me, Shane.
The reason I stumbled across it, my passwords and usernames were not being
saved anymore, probably since my last restore and I had to "fix" that.
Thanks ... mate (to me the missing word 'old' would be a sign of intimacy
or closeness, but others may perceive it as offensive, therefore I only
'hinted' it, to be sure).

That's going to be down to Content | Autocomplete, and/or Privacy settings,

That's your entry in the address book profiles surely? That's what mine shows
anyway. (At least it asks to set a profile from there or create a new one and
I certainaly haven't added all those names to it).
Can't see a reason for it unless it sets the defaults for sending emails etc.
Anyone else know what it is?

I am glad you asked, Hillneerg.
One of those entries is your own profile and it would be nice to know, if it
were wise to choose that one for "My Profile", or any of the others instead.
But as Shane said, it probably isn't important.
Let's wait and see.

Harry.

Exactly, Shane, somehow Autocomplete unchecked itself along the way and I
had to check it again, because I want that feature.
Thanks for your attention.
BTW, how is your healing process coming along?
You have my very best wishes .

Thanks for asking, Harry. Disregarding the DVT, which is just a matter of
waiting on to dissipate, the issue is my regaining manual dexterity.
Something I didn't find out for several weeks is that there's a bit of my
finger joint actually missing, so it's never going to work like new again -
but in the last three weeks I've attained 30% more movement, which is
certainly encouraging. I just hope it doesn't end yet - at some point there
will be no more improvement.

This week I've been told to practice manipulating tools, eg spanners,
screwdrivers. I daren't risk working on the bike yet, as it's old enough
that there are quite-possibly irreplaceable components I mustn't drop (and I
do keep dropping things!) - like the original little-used cylinder head that
was thankfully undamaged despite the exhaust pipe being crushed inward by
the front of the guy's car to within about a quarter inch of the cooling
fins.

An amusing (if viewed from a certain angle) aside is that he's claiming the
crash was my fault. Of course, they always do, such are the ethics of the
modern world and the amorality of the insurance industry. Do you know, I'm
so experienced a motorcyclist that I do the lifesaver while *walking*! Have
done for about 20 years. I still have no memory of the incident but was
already conditioned to think of the junction where it occurred as virtually
guaranteed too busy to safely enter other than gingerly. And surprise,
surprise, some kid turns without seeing an approaching motorcycle. To date
I'd managed to avoid the like but can't have had enough warning to escape
this one. Which is pretty-much born out by the pattern of damage to the
Triumph.
