In a nutshell, no. A System Restore will restore the registry as well as other items. There ARE utilities around that just backup the...
If this has just started, it's very possible that it is SpyWare related. Download, install and run SpyBot. Do an update first, before doing a...
I wouldn't worry about files that appear in the \Temp folder. As Steve points out many programs require temporary files in order to function, and...
Easy way to find out. Delete the file. Scan something and check for the presence of the file again.
If you wish to try and find out which of your running programs have them open, install wholockme
It certainl exists! And, the update link now seems to be working.
I'm getting the same error message as are others
Just an "idle" observation. (especially is System Restore is active, although it may be corrupted if restores don't work) It is interesting...
Thanks. I was just curious. Windows essentially takes as much free ram as it needs for the file cache. And, when it needs free memory for a...
On Windows 95 there was a reason for setting limits on the file cache because of a bug in memory management. On Windows 9x, with more than 512...
Since it's appearing in a DOS screen, the file is "attempting" to be run from the Autoexec.bat file. Edit C:\autoexec.bat and look for a line...
The ZIP folder is called (for example), THISFILE.zip?? If you then doubleclick on it, it will open and show the contents. How many files are...
Double clicking on it, should be all that is required.(to run a program) However, if you are trying to INSTALL an application that has a...
If you wish, you can use scripting to create your shortcut.
Ah! As I started to guess, it was primarily semantics. Agreed. Again, my semantics. I used the word "attempt" because if it isn't really...
Ok. I surrender!! :) But only after one last try. But, data areas do NOT consist of executable code. UNLESS you mean that every last ascii...
sparrow I'm not sure if we are disagreeing or arguing semantics. But I think it's a bit of both. You say "data in memory is NOT supposed to...
First, there are 3 variations of this theme. Intel has NX processors (No Execute) AMD has Enhanced Virus Protection (EVP) and MS has DEP...
sparrow As far as I can determine, the reason that DEP is implemented in SP2 and is part of the AMD and Intel processor line, is to provide...
But what DEP is attempting to do, is stop valid executable instructions from being run, from what has been classified as a Data area. Ie: Code is...
