Anyone know why i can't seem to scan ESET SysInspector's webpage?
http://www.eset.eu/support/changelog-eset-sysinspector
(which btw would be a good addition to this website)

@shaka - I don't think it likes the user agent for WebVersions (or WGET for that matter), a web proxy seems to work:

ESET SysInspector;;1.2.021;http://www.surfwithease.com/index.php?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.eset.eu%2Fsupport%2Fchangelog-eset-sysinspector&hl=1c4;false;

Thank you for the idea, it explains the error alright.
I found another suitable page though:

Works ok.

Multi Path Files Finder 1.00 is my preferred file search utility. Reasonably small, flexible, and efficient. Does not use a (undesireable, for me) index database; but is fast nonetheless -- Searched C:\ and all subdirectories for "*.exe" files -- found 1,774 files in 15 seconds.

Read "stuck print jobs" @ http://jesusnjim.com/using-computers/stuck-print-jobs.html

Batch file that does the same is available @ http://jesusnjim.com/using-computers/flushprinters.bat

Source, binaries and installer @ http://jesusnjim.com/code/printflush.html

Not bad!
The BAT file basically stops the spooling process, then deletes the contents (files) located in the system32\spool\printers directory
then starts the spool process again.

A completely useless program that gives you no information about the security threats it "detects" and no idea how to fix them. Skip this one.

My virus scanner detected a downloader (coat.dll) which I assume is part of the test suite.

The application runs, with a small window of tests and vulnerable / passed status, but once run, you have no idea what each test means, and no summary that you can save (no good for audits!). So, apart from then googling for info on "OLE" (for example), then it does little to help apart from cause more worry...

Next please...

This gives lots of info and comparing options. False virus alerts are explainable!
You can generate a html result/report with some help.
I've used the app on several systems running xp3 vista2 with diff. firewall and hips settings. If you're smart you must try this one to give you an idea of your safety/security. Thanks Comodo

tried extracting the Softpedia Installer version & no go. Did a search for "task tome portable" & got no results for a portable version. When I searched for "taskTome portable" I got a page full of results. Many download locations for portable version 1.53. I can't believe the syntax made that much of a difference.

Well, I found the portable version on the wayback machine. It is version 1.52, so not quite the final version that was released, but good enough :)

I also found the final windows installer version 1.53 :)

I would recommend Sizer - http://www.brianapps.net/sizer.html - over this one.

There's a reason some program windows aren't re-sizable. You have to add code to resize the GUI controls properly otherwise the controls will get all mangled up. this would be useful for really horribly designed windows. (where text cuts off, and you have to vertical scroll)

@mark, some of us were lucky enough to buy and install vista, before win7 came out.

sounded useful for the reason i was looking for it in the first : the resizing of firefox's annoyingly small description box in bookmark properties window..what happened there was it resized alright, smaller. and when 'bigger' the dialog boxes stayed as were, just extra blank space. and yes, the readme does say it reads for last config. i suppose only when the program is on.
if anyone else has a solution to my problem, please tell =D

thank you for reading and sorry to bother you.

Not every laptop has a dedicated button to turn off the screen; if you're using a laptop with external mouse then you'll appreciate this proggie.
Anyway, it's simple - if you think it's stupid then don't use it.

Links seem to be broken.

Emka: updated.

I'm actually glad this situation came up as I'd forgotten all about this program and have the exact sort of setup tproli is talking about: a monitor situation without a simple off button. Saves a lot of time and energy.
