Glad you liked it! Now that you know that shortcut I can almost guarantee you’ll never use CTRL + ALT + DEL again.

Comment on How To: Block Unwanted IPs with uTorrent’s Hidden Blocking Feature and Blocklist Manager by DVL

Hi Brian, great tip. Thanks,

I added Blocklist manager into my "All Users" Startup group to auto update on Windows startup.

I had to set the following options also to get the list to update and export without prompting.
(Under Options/General/Processing)
Select the following;
>Auto Export Selected
Deselect the following
>Enable Export Warning.
This allows the ipfliter.dat to be overwritten without prompting for confirmation.

Comment on Fix: Windows XP Gets Blue Screen Error after Windows Update (KB977165) by Kevin Schulte

Hi Vince,

It sounds like there might be something else wrong with your computer. Login to either one of the options and try the command:
chkdsk c: /r
If that completes fine try restarting your computer normally. If the chkdsk fails then it’s likely that either the hard drive for your computer is bad or the Windows installation is damaged beyond repair.

Another good article Evan. I didn't even know that CTRL + SHIFT + ESC shortcut, wish I had already known it.

Comment on How to Rebroadcast a Weak Wifi Signal by Evan Wondrasek

Hey Joey,

Good question – you are correct, anybody can pick up the rebroadcasted signal. The easiest method is to simply secure the rebroadcasted wireless connection using WPA or WPA2 encryption (which is what your hypothetical neighbors should have done in the first place). This will allow only you to access your rebroacasted signal!

Say your neighbor broadcasts his wi-fi network unsecured and you leech it for the purposes of re-broadcasting to your devices that can't pick it up. In doing so, you also re-broadcast to others' devices who may not have been able to leech it in the first place, right? So how can you secure your re-broadcast against other neighbors? Put another way, what's the best way you can restrict the use of your computer's internet connection to just your devices; to do as your neighbor did not?

Safe location just means make a backup of the file. You can simply right click it and select Copy, then paste it somewhere else on your computer. If something doesn't work, you can just restore the backup.
