Get yourself Real Alternative and Quicktime Alternative. These work far better and aren't as weedlike.

Aside from that, this system is just fine.

Hi tarun,

Thx for responding & thx for your help.

Anyway, I managed to delete most of the selections you made, except for a couple, I think. sympatico.ca page that's my home page when i log on.

Now here is a second scan log after the changes.

I am going to restart my computer now & see if these deletions have any effects on my system.
I'll get back to you later.

Thx again for your assistance.
Tarun
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Window Title = Microsoft Internet Explorer provided by Sympatico

That can be removed.

Also, IE? Try Firefox.

Hi Tarun,

I restarted my computer, everything is fine. Went back & deleted R1-HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Maine,Window Title=Microsoft Internet Explorer provided by sympatico, rebooted again & my default home page is still there.

I very much appreciate your help.

Now re Firefox.

can I operate w/ both FF & IE. Let's say I downloaded FF,
- What would happen to IE?
- Would I still be able to surf using IE? I mean can I swirch back & forth between both of these programs?

In terms of resources how big is FF? Is it going to affect the speed of my computer?

Firefox - Better, Safer, Faster

This holds true. It can take up a little bit more memory than IE, but if IE was a standalone they would be equal really.

Yes, you can switch back and forth, though after using Firefox I doubt you'd want IE.

IE would still be on your system to use at your leisure.

Resource wise I'd say they're about the same, but it depends on what you're viewing and running on your computer.

Firefox is highly tweakable to be made to run better and much faster.

You're ever so prompt in responding & coming to people's assistance. For that, which I deeply appreciate, I thank you very much.
I am going to give FF a shot tonight & see.

I appreciate your kind words, it truly means a lot to me. I think I've found my calling and I know for a fact I have an excellent teacher.

My website also has a tweaking guide where you can simply download ChromEdit, then copy and paste the optimizations for Firefox into ChromEdit's user.js file and BOOM, turbo Firefox! biggrin.gif
