maybe you boys can help me out

[meikmundt]

the way i found out about this site, was searching about all the different tracking/history files windows uses (ex: index.dat) and there was an article all about it on this site. it started out exlpaining how to delete all your temp/history files in MS-Dos. i feel like an idiot having to ask people, but i can't find it for the sh*t of me. it doesn't seem to me like there is even a link to an index of articles. Just the most recent articles. anybody got those helping skills for me?

for some reason this does not seem to be linked to from the main page anymore. it used to be you pushed the Feature Article button, but that now takes you to the 'what's so bad' article. in my opinion there should be an index of articles so people can easily find both.

i will post a fucking screenshot to show you that it is on the main page...

I can't find a thread that I'm sure was here...

It was about a bit of text that exploits the XP helpdesk "feature" to delete files.  SP1 closes this hole.

I can't find it manually or by search.  Did I halucinate or have I got the wrong place or has it gone?

It's annoying not being able to find it because I threw it in the face of a M$ believer (ie fuckwit) and now can't find it.

BTW.  Excellent forum, I come here often.  It has been the final stage of converting me to open source software.  Thank you.

i dont remember this being posted anwhere other than the mod forum, but here it is:

that general subject was actually brought up in one of the microsoft sections by Refalm, i think, prompting me to post the link to that document in the private section.
This is something i would like to see incorporated into people's webpages. that'll get that 75% who use IE down a bit i suspect...

very smart, but as evidenced by the existence of this thread, i am not the only one with this problem and in fact i seem to remember having to tell this url to two or three other people since the new article ousted its place.

It's not on the toolbar, that's all...

Thanks for that.

I'm sure it was here with 2 links to articles about it.

Anyway thanks again.
