people, is there a way to get rid of that stupid remove hardware safely icon in the system tray?

Yes, if you have nforce sata drivers.

Otherwise its a bit harder :)

Edit: U can obviously just always hide it as well, rightclick taskbar -> properties -> indicate hide inactive icons -> customize then go to the hardware icon and select always hide.

wtf never knew that

thanks

on an nforce mobo:
In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Services \ nvata,

add DWORD DisableRemovable, set to 1. Reboot.

ahh ta

cool desktop, what's in that accounting folder?

uni work

oh and a button that ends the world

HAAAAAAR

Yeah, that's the problem with your desktop :P

what is? :(

Nothing :) But it was weird that you wanted that little icon gone, when you have so many others :) But it just hit me, maybe you want it gone, cause you never use it :) So, very sorry :)

ah, well I use all of the others apart from the virus stuff so that can go I guess :D

rocketdock, me thinks..

burj al-arab innit. I've seen that pic; doesn't look too great as far as photographs go, though, in spite of the beauty of the city-scape itself.

in any event, you have to drop the desktop icons: they are ugly. and the task bar is even worse. WHAT iS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE????

What do you mean YOU PEOPLE??

Bloody little Belgians.

Not the burj al-arab but I'd like to know what it is.

nice wp! link?

sorry dude, i got it appart of a wall paper pack off torrentleech!

And you wonder why you're mail account got hacked???

yea, a whole load of jpgs is way 2 elite!

and you obviously know nothing about torrentleech...

I was obviously referring to the fact you're downloading illegal stuff in general from those sites, not the file format in this particular example.

I would not be surprised if your copy of windows was cracked.

Do you honestly think all these people who are cracking expensive software just so little ole' Dec4y can have a free copy of photoshop, windows or whatever do so out of the goodness of their hearts? Some do, but a lot don't.

Sooner or later you're gonna' install garbage and pay a far higher price.

and thats prolly why he doesnt use average newbie trackers like piratebay or whatever

haha, so that's ok then?? Please carry on, get a virus and moan about it opn the net for my amusement.

And don't forget if you use IRC you're more intelligent than those that use MSN.

And I hear if you buy something off a posh man in a suit you won't ever get ripped off.

wut

ah breeze said you are retarded, carry on

I don't need to. I know I'm right :)
But nice attempt to troll when basic logic showed what a misguided fool you are.

That's why people used good torrent sites and download from groups with a good reputation. Retards such as yourself may get in trouble but anyone with a half a brain won't.

So what you're saying is because a bunch of adolescents say something is ok- (because their copy of norton does not tell them its got a virus and "so far" the software seems to be fine), you're saying you're devoid of the issues I am talking about, and calling me retarded for mentioning it?
bearing in mind, 48 hrs earlier the guy from torrentleech got his hotmail account hacked?

Christ no wonder you're not getting on in life :)

I suppose next you'll be telling me that Wikipedia is the holy grail of information because any tard with an opinion can edit its content???

That's two night in a row you've given bad advice.

Thank you for allowing me to index your stupidity and apply simple and factual logic. I don't need to call you retarded because I never feel at a disadvantage to you and its more fun to apply basic, common sense and highlight the garbage you spew for google to index.

But hey. Multi million dollar I.T. companies can get hacked, but if you have an invite to torrentleech and a net connection linked up to a P2P network of virtual thieves then you're safe cos Mr icelander says his torrent sites are da best!!!!

All dat left is a few insulkts for yoo's-I think you highlighted your own ignorance, which is always the best.

its not only trust, stuff gets nuked if theres ANYTHING wrong with it, which could be wrong aspect ratio or something like that.

an actual virus would be a fucking disgrace for a release group

i think you need to google "nukers", they actually do the hard work for you

idiot

Wow you have no idea how things work. Like rahzei said if things are wrong the stuff gets nuked. I find it quite amusing that you are going on about this. I remember you talking about using Bitcomet as a torrent client. A client with so many security holes that any decent site has banned it years ago. So fuck right off with your bullshit. You don't know what you are talking about.

Also I want to remind that you live in Wales, in an apartment that has green carpets.

with his parents

youre basicly making yourself look like a retard by showing that you know nothing about "elitist" torrent sites

sites like torrentleech etc upload mostly if not only scene releases. that means that theres no virus whatsoever in the torrents available

he prolly got the virus from a 3rd party crack site or whatever

No,you're ironically making yourself look like the elitist computer idiot.

You think it would be a SHOCK!!! for an illegal torrent site to house a dodgy file, when companies like Microsoft are releasing constant updates and fixes to their multi billion dollar empire everyday, but hey, an illegal torrent site is so safe and secure-nothing could get past them?

Do you realise how idiotic that makes you sound?

You really have a problem dealing with reality, and the sad thing if you're so far gone you actually think people who are talking common sense are wrong.

That's why I scoff at co-dependant morons like you, you think if an equally naive and collective bunch of idiots form the same wall form an opinion its actually gospel.

Go speak to a security expert, tell them your theory on torrent sites and they'll think you're stupid too.

Microsoft his hardly known for fixing things quickly now are they genius? It's painfully obvious you've never been a member of an "elitist" torrentsite. Because quite frankly who would waste an invite on you?

you are aware of the trackers im speaking of only got a some <10 uploaders which are all connected to the scene in some way, that means an idiot like you couldnt upload your elite new rootkit in some torrent?

your logic applies on public trackers, not on private trackers which people with brains use

you do know that 'elitist' torrent sites host _fuck all_ right?

in terms of illegal content

i didnt get a virus, i used an old copy of msn which obvisouly still had security holes in it. (installed a fresh copy of xp)

8(

think about it, you download something from the web that you think is safe because it's from a big, known scene-group.
But what you don't know is what the uploaders did with the stuff before you got it. The ones who upload the stuff is almost never a part of the group itself.

I take it you trust all people at the net aswell?

some of them are actually, but theres so much respect involved on the elitist torrent trackers, that it wouldnt happen

do it, please! your desktop <3

edit: for vista ;)

wallpaper link plz?

wallpaper is for noobs!

Here's mine, I run dual monitors, LCD on the left, CRT on the right.

Here they are showing desktop and how it looks with stuff running on it.

http://gillz.ca/images/desktopesr2(small).jpg

what do you use for getting different wallpapers at your screens? I use dual monitors as well but I get the same wallpaper at both screens. Is it possible with just windows? :D

I just like very bright and vibrant images on my LCD, and just a normal one on my CRT.

I had to use photoshop to create an image that would fit two wallpapers. So, bring in the two wallpapers and put them side by side, save, make wallpaper.

the easy solution is the best one.

Hahahaha that wallpaper

Nothing special

nice, how did you do that startbar in black?

Get a tweaked uxptheme.dll and the skin name is Black zune.

btw. DONT USE SKINTHEME-PROGRAMS.
They fuck up your system most of the cases. But if you want any fancyshit macstyle type-of-a-thing. Then im afraid those shitprograms is the only way.

hmm google doesnt find uxptheme.dll ? can you perhaps tell me where i can find it

I cant remember the correct name maybee. Just look around at Deviantart.com for windows skins. And there you find what you are looking for :)

google neowin uxtheme patcher :)

i havent seen anyone using the address bar. You should, its actually quite useful.

How can you do that?

right click on the blue part, go to toolbars, click on address, then stretch it and place it to your liking etc.

had that a lot of years ago, now theres a ff open at all times so :D

i use it to get to folders on my hdds quickly, without having to go into 'my computer' etc...

heh i got shortcuts for that, ctrl+shift+i for I: etc :)

how about that?

takes too much space heh

ye and u still need to go into individual folders and find stuff. The address bar fills in your answers for u anyway, so its really quick to get to that folder ur looking for.

winkey+r

what aaron said. Also I've got mirc open whenever I use the computer so I use /run quite alot.

Advanced desktops is an oxymoron because if youre so much of a poweruse to go through all the hassle to pimp your desktop you are also the kind of person who never ever sees it anyway. For anyone not a totally computer rookie the desktop is the most unused space in your pc lol. The reason this thread has yielded 140 post in a few days is because of the desperation ppl have to show off a work not even themselves can enjoy
