    Autologon tool for Windows.

    Nice URLs Rob... only one difference... My little homebrew tool works with systems where there are multiple, passworded accounts.

    Autologon tool for Windows.

    This is more of the stuff I get asked for all the time.... The attached "Autologon Tool" is a very simple program, just enter the account name and password and click enable. The next time you start your system it will log into the account automatically. If you want to disable autologons...

    Modern Warfare 2 Filled with Controversy

    Uh-huh ... that's why I never turn the tunes on before noon.

    Can Gaming Lead You to a Career?

    I don't know how old you are but one way to test your metal is to hit the GoCart tracks. I used to love blasting around corners and running right up some guy's tail pipe on the straightaways as a kid. In my 20s I spent a bit of time on the amateur Road Rallye circuit (precision driving, not...

    Modern Warfare 2 Filled with Controversy

    Movies and music routinely play with my emotions. I get angry at the bad guys, cheer for the good guys... and I've been known to bust a tear or two in the really sad parts. Oddly... Movies impact me more intensely but music has a more prolonged effect. The wrong song first thing in the...

    Adding FLAC support to MPClassic....

    I haven't played with foobar too much. I did look into using it for music with MPClassic for videos but ran into some configuration issues. Like most windows programs Foobar is a bit light on command line support. Perhaps it would help if I explained what I'm doing... I've written a...

    Modern Warfare 2 Filled with Controversy

    I'd say that's pretty much the common experience these days. I'm no gamer... and that's precisely because these games are so entrapping. You get into them and it's hard to walk away. Eventually reality blurrs and you're just as emotionally invested in the game as you are in real life... From...

    Selection? What selection?

    With gift giving day looming in the very near future I've been looking around for some bargains. As is my usual practice, I will catch a few items on sale and stick them in the closet so I can pass along the savings to my people later.... But... It is just me or is the selection of...

    Modern Warfare 2 Filled with Controversy

    Orrrrr.... maybe you're demonstrating morality, a sense of right and wrong, that is sorely missing in kids of today's generation.

    If You Want Privacy, You're Obviously Hiding Something

    That depends on the ISP and how often they cycle the IP addresses. On some you will get the same IP over and over for a month then it will change, on the good ones it will change every time you log in. But this does little good as they can back resolve from IP to user quite easily using...

    Adding FLAC support to MPClassic....

    I prefer Media Player Classic for 3 reasons... 1) CPU usage. On the little ASRock boxes where I'm installing it most of the time it uses about half the CPU time of WinAmp, which really matters on HD video playback. 2) Command Line support. MPClassic has terrific support for command...

    Maxtor OneTouch4 - What HD inside?

    Yes that is what DM will report in the USB section. That's actually the controller in the OneTouch... Look higher up at Disk Drives it should show you the model of the drive with "USB Drive" behind it.

    If You Want Privacy, You're Obviously Hiding Something

    How utterly hypocritical this is. Google's mission statement begins with "First of all do no harm." ... Their Usenet archives have facilitated more stalkers than all the other online sites combined. Google Alerts are routinely used by stalkers to track their victim's online activities and...

    Maxtor OneTouch4 - What HD inside?

    What does it identify as in Device Manager / Disk drives? The whole "one touch" thing is just software on the drive. DM should see the drive's model number. Of course you could open it up and get the model number off the drive...

    How much RAM will be in your next PC?

    One of the biggest myths I love busting is that more ram makes your computer run faster... It does not. What it does is reduce or eliminate the need for swap files on your hard disk, which is what kills your speed. In AMD, Windows XP machines, which I still build routinely, 2gb is plenty of...

    Adding FLAC support to MPClassic....

    Excellent question... If you read the FLAC download page at your url you will see they are very aware of installer problems for the windows version. I chose to go with one that had a high probability of success rather than have a wave of people asking me why the installer doesn't work...

    Running Blu Ray on my Customized Dell Dimension 3000

    Typical of the "new courtesy"... He got his answer. If it wasn't working we'd probably have heard about it by now.
