Shutdown updates in XP Annoyances in XP Support WinCustomize Forums

Hey, guys. You know how when you shutdown, sometimes you get those special updates that only install when you turn off the computer? Is there any way how to install those updates without actually turning it off? I'm trying to see how long I can keep my computer on without crashing (so far I'm up to 300 hours) and it's still running great, i see no point in dealing with the "install updates now" dialog boxes.

I used FuzzyLogic's link to the testing site. I don't know how this is possible but everything that I tested came up absolutely perfect. the only thing that I'm using to defend myself is AVG free edition, Windows Defender and the Default Windows Firewall. Is it possible to "overdo" security because I'm using all free stuff and I'm getting perfect protection.... Oh, I'm also using CyuberSitter which is annoying parental control software that my dad put on my computer. I don't think that would

Reply to Re-ordering/dragging icons has stopped working in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

[quote]No ! weird would be if windows acted as we would like it too[/quote] Nice. One thing you could do as a last resort is to save your current dock, uninstall and reinstall. if you have plus this will be a real pain because you have to reorder but... if your really have to you could. One thing that might work is to quit OD, move the OD folder (C:\Program Files blah blah blah) to like the desktop or something (before you do this uncheck "load at startup" in the OD settings) reboot

[quote]This is why you memorize passwords instead of saving them on your system[/quote] Yeah, exactly. although that totally sucks that that happened to you. ~I love Fuzzy Logic's icon.

Reply to CursorXP Plus versus CursorFX in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

Yeah, it was bumpy at first but all the "bugs" are out now, it works fine. xp themes work great. and like metal said, there are 2 versions. you only need the free version, though unless you like trails and excessive shadow and stuff of the like

AOL email is awsome but evil! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

This is a question for you AOL users out there. I love their email because it's free, unlimited storage and there's an IMAP server. the only real annoyance is when you send an attachment using outlook (or Windows Live mail which is what I use) it always gets corrupted!?!?!?!!!!!!! Do you guys have the same problem? It's really annoying, I feel like a moron using yousendit to send like a half meg zip file. There's probably a plugin for Thunderbird somewhere but I haven't found any fixes yet.

Reply to MyColors is garb, I am so mad in ThinkDesk WinCustomize Forums

[quote]As for me being harsh. Yea, I have little patience with unreasonable behavior. Someone ranting in the ThinkDesk forum about MyColors in public over and over is not going to get much sympathy from me. That's why they keep me away from tech support (I've had customers literally tell me they hope I get cancer). But when you begin to post diatribes in a public forum, I see it.[/quote] I can respect that. I'm sure it's very frustrating having everyone breathing down your back while
