@Cicely! Well hello neighbor! Wait, we finally may get a AU EN ? ...You know,there are lots of differences between UK EN, AUS EN, and US EN??~!! :mrgreen: Finally! A corner to call our own.Oiy!Oiy!Oiy! :-D (I knew you would say that! :mrgreen: ) -Cowboy

Maybe.... I'll have to consider that vnavna! :-) ...thank you! :grin: -Cowboy

Lol!@eno... Sorry,my mistake Eno! Today hasn't been a good day...one of our kitties that I am very fond of is in the Hospital poor thing.She has to spend the night(s) all alone.Gave her a towel with our scent on it,hope it helps... :cry: -Cowboy Running v2.4 IObit Defrag now.

@Eno.... I may have overstated my Pagefile size,but I do have 8Gigs of Ram.So I set it to 12GB....thanks for reminding me.I do believe in setting both the Max/Min Pagefile size to the same size and don't clear it upon re-boot! Cheers from Australia! :-) -Cowboy

@All... I have SD v2.3 set to automatically defrag when system is idle...when I check it,it says either 0.1 or 0.0 fragmentation which is good! I have also set my Pagefile to the same max/min size so as to reduce fragmentation and I think I have set the Pagefile to 1.5x of my 8MB of Ram. Works for me!...and I don't let the system clear the Pagefile at booting either.Hope this is relevant and helps someone... :-) -Cowboy

LOL!...@Toppack It's the Int. Dateline you see...:mrgreen: -Cowboy

LOL!...@Enoskype Thank you for that Eno,I was half asleep and NO coffee before I dove in!! My bad and apologies! ;-) -Cowboy

@Everybody! Thank you one and all for 'disecting' this issue! It is much appreciated! I have Windows 7 Home Premium sp1,do all of you think I should install 2 and then 3,or just 3? Thanks in advance.I simply don't know if updates past sp1 will be much of importance... :? -Cowboy

WinPatrol Great job on a comprehensive list for computer security Usefulll ! :smile: But did I miss WinPatrol? There is a Free one as well as the Plus (Pro) one. Both flavours protect your computer from any changes not made by you, including system files, Hosts file and many more. There is even scripts from the website that you can copy/past over to your WinPatrol that thwarts any attemp by anyone to disable your AV or Firewall. You can view a screenshot on the front page. I have run this for a long time and it plays nice with all other security programs and is quite excellent. Go Here: http://www.winpatrol.com/ Enjoy it! It is excellent. -Cowboy

Kudoes to Mel for this one. :smile: -Cowboy

Yup! That's what we do, Top....I only have a smoke outside so the terrible,sticky mess of the Tar from smoking is not an issue thank God! The use of isopropyl alcohol DILUTED is a great one if needed. 8-) -Cowboy

Oiy!Oiy!Oiy! ....Bloody oath! What we need is an Aussie spin on things,not U.S. or the Queen's english! Aussies are a peculiar and particular lot! It'd be funny to see an Aussie ASC 5.2! :mrgreen: -Cowboy
