Some sage tech told me, in an online discussion on how to keep my computer
clean and working smoothly, that it was ok to delete all of the "downloaded
program files" that reside in that internet options, browsing history,
settings, view objects, place....(i have IE7, so to get to them is a little
different than IE6, etc.).
Anyway, I took his "wise and sage" advice and deleted all of my DOWNLOADED
PROGRAM FILES, while I was doing my other clean up stuff.
Now, many of them show as damaged.
Some of them have reloaded themselves as ive used certain programs, and now
show INSTALLED, and i dont have any problems with active x, or
shockwave....ac tually i dont have any problems with the computer when
accessing webpages, or loading programs, whatever.
Still, like many of you im sure, I hate having anything messed up on my
computer.
Can someone tell me exactly what downloaded program files are, how to find
out exactly what the programs are, how to fix the damaged ones, and if its
really ok to delete them. Or "remove" them, as it says when you click on one.
Thanks.

I have a wee issue, where I have two different web sites;
http://dev/home.htm
http://live/home.htm
On both sites, there is a custom OCX file being used. However, it may be a
different version on the dev versus the live sites, because I am working on
it... This is fine, as I have a routine that downloads the OCX file, but MS
standard only downloads a later version. Hence, if I work in the dev site,
then switch to live, it still uses the...

Hi,
I have(had) an old Win2k Server server with about 30 web site databases
(SQL 2000) that just went under due to hardware problems. Thankfully, I
have backups of all the databases plus the MDF and LDF files from the
hard drive.
I want to move all of these sites and their data to a newer server
(Win2003) running SQL2000.

User wants to go this route instead of storing pointers in the DB and the

Only time I tried it was with only MS Word docs - and that was a loooong time
ago - and it seemed to me like there were performance issues at the time.
How about the different types? The MS docs I would expect Access to
differentiate and handle appropriately (i.e. .DOC and .XLS).. but how about
..PDF? and can I stash a .TXT document in the...

Hi,
I've been searching this newsgroup for an answer to my question, and
the closest I've come asks my question, but in reverse ("How to figure
out the program from plan/package"). I've -- shall we say, inherited?
-- a COBOL program with very little documentation that I've recompiled
for debugging purposes. The compile/link/bind have all been done, but
nothing in the output tells me what plan the program has been bound to,
so I can't...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Overview:
Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
