Reply to Hate Speech - or Joke? in Internet WinCustomize Forums

It is deplorable and offensive for someone to a photoshop such as Palin in a KKK outfit, but it's protected speech under the First Amendment. Too bad Nanci Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Obama don't understand you can't silence people's views simply because you disagree with them or find them personally offensive. Now the King George one is funny. And whether or not you like W., it gets the point across without being psycho about it. In fact, I'd say it's more effective, because many of W's

Reply to WB 5 Causing Explorer to Crash in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Neil, please note above that SDMCP is not causing the instability in my case. However, the istability of explorer.exe has been directly linked to whether the shell is skinned or not. Also, when smart exception is running during an explorer crash, it disappears from the systray and is inaccessible unless you kill it and restart it.

I'm doubting that cause/effect relationship too. The only problems I've ever run into with any of the SD products for the past 5 years has been skin deep, if you will. Nothing system-pernicious. Also, boot skin and logon studio work fine. In fact, you can even disable them from running at startup and you'll still have your custom logons and boot screens.

Why do you advise to kill SDMCP, yrag? SDMCP runs even when the skins aren't and seems to have no connection with shell stability FYI to all; as one experiencing the regular explorer.exe crashes with the latest DL of WB5, I tried logging in as a user which uses no themes (or the classic windows look) and explorer didn't crash once. As long as explorer wasn't skinned, there were no crashes. I'm really quite surprised to find something this buggy from SD. I've been using WB since

Makes sense. When I worked at Dell, I regularly brought in a USB drive and copied information building my case for a hostile work environment for IT guys. These files, along with the emails I forwarded and the photographs and movies I took with my cell and the audio I captured with my audio recorder during meetings helped to prove my case against an indefensibly outlandish managegerial culture at Dell, or "Hell", as we called it. Sure Dell may not think it's kosher, but I think I'll leave that d
