Topic: Programs that make you go...grrr

[chekovsulu]

Everytime I press the num lock or scroll lock button, this comes up:

I don't need it, there's a light for it!

I'd turn it off, except it's part of one of those annoying programs laptop vendors insist you install to get the Fn keys working.  My IBM T22 (which was awesome) didn't need extra programs to get the Fn keys working,  it really irritates me other laptops don't do this!

I know a person with a Dell machine which has something similar, except it shows up in the lower right-hand side of the screen.  Every time he presses caps-lock, GTA: Vice City crashes

It was indeed a typo.

Apparently, after 72 hours of not using it, your profile will be removed, but they won't remove your username:

Windows 7, feels like a step back in some areas (with a lot of eye candy to make up for it). Photoshop CS5 is much faster than the previous version; Dreamweaver CS5 is a bit of a let down (not that much different from the previous version).

Haven't used Skype for months, my account is still active :-S.

PS using Windows 7 on netbook (1024x600 resolution), is there a way to reduce the size of the icons on the desktop?

[chekovsulu]

Windows 7 annoys me sometimes, it's like they have only one option a page.  It wants everything to be big, I don't like big!

The search in the Start menu is a bit stoopid as well.  Oh well, at least the UAC it easier to control.

If you have a wheel mouse, then on the desktop you would pres the CTRL key and use the mouse wheel to change the size of the icons.  There was another way, but I can't find it

[Diabolico]

There is an option when you right click the desktop (small, medium and large). Also under customising the theme, there is the old menu for changing the colours.

Gotta get the other thing sorted

Today, I found this: http://www.bing.com/rewards/

And I've been using IE9 since yesterday.  It's terrible.  It's faster than IE8, but after a few hours of having it on, it became a bit slow.  It may be because I'm switching between browsers (too lazy to type in my passwords) and the other browser (Opera) is very fast.

But, I get exchange them bing points for some microsoft points, at least I hope I can

Mibbit.

I hate the operating system that my brain is running.  It's dead slow, is riddled with sintaks cynticks sontox syntax errors, needs contant refueling to work and in the end doesn't do a very good job anyhow.
