Well, that is a horrible thought! It is unlikely - Windows corruption does not usually take this form. It is more likely my anti-spyware/anti-virus scanner erasing the cookies (assuming that this forum is using cookies). This is not so likely either - I am told what cookies are being deleted, and none seem like from this forum. I also use a lot of other forums, and none of those have this problem. But again, it is not a big problem. I would rather know why my last three trades went down the hole.... |

Possibly kneighbours problems are caused by corrupted windows system. time for another format.

Would like to elimanate it altogether - ie replace the explorer.exe with something more useful. DesktopX is one example Edited by SimonSavva |

The start-bar can be hidden on XP:

How about adding shortcuts to the Quick Launch bar, down next to the Start button? If you're worried about categorisation, I found a cute little freeware program the other day called FreeLaunchBar that lets you add submenus to the Quick Launch bar. |

Perhaps the internal forum browser command on the help menu could be converted to launch internet explorer externally. In fact the ability for the user to creat a custom menu with links to various places on the web, or documents/programs etc. would be excellent. This would mean I could open my position sizing calculator (xls file) launch my futures data update program (exe file) and come to the forum(url file), all without visiting my start menu. So far as saving passwords, its just internet explorers privacy settings I'm pretty sure. Maybe you guys have privacy products that go and delete cookies, history and passwords periodically.

Both. The external browser seems to be better, although that does not make much sense. The problem with the internal browser is that none of the auto-completion stuff works - so you have to enter the data each and every time. At least with the normal (external) browser I can use auto-completion.

We're using a third-party forum package - so I don't know too much
about how it works. But the remember login seems to work OK for me.
Do you use the forum directly from a web browser, or from within BullCharts? |
