  • IE Password Editor Utility [KEITH]

-User had a password saved for a site that made her constantly change passwords. So, whenever she went there it was auto-filling with the wrong one.

-Didn’t want to clear all passwords, so I found this utility from the fine folks at NirSoft (http://podcast NULL.acoupleofadmins NULL.com/pmwiki/pmwiki NULL.php?n=Main NULL.NirSoft?action=edit)? (http://podcast NULL.acoupleofadmins NULL.com/pmwiki/pmwiki NULL.php?n=Main NULL.NirSoft?action=edit) that pulls them all up and let’s you individually manage your saved passwords.

-Of course, I lectured about even storing them in the first place as I showed her how I could view all of her passwords with the utility.

From the r2 Studios site -

     The power to speed up your computer’s startup process! If each program (Scheduled to run at startup) tries to load at the same time, you will notice the slow down that occurs during boot up, due to your CPU trying to help all the programs to load, and your hard disk accessing multiple files

Startup Delayer allows you to setup how many seconds after Windows has started, to load each program.
For Example:
If you have your mail program and a special clock starting up, then you can make your mail start say 10 seconds after Windows has loaded, and then the special clock start 20 seconds after Windows Starts.
