maybe the geekiest thing you will see all day

my windows login is fucked up, something to do with a corrupt registry.
anyway whenever i login, i have to change some settings to how they were before.

one of these things is the taskbar height. i like it 2 bars high rather than the default one. so to do this i right click and uncheck the 'lock the taskbar' thing so it can move up.

however today i caught myself quietly singing 'lock the taskbar, lock the taskbar!' to the tune of 'the clash - rock the casbah'. it just fits so well !:o)

i am not the slightest bit embarassed, and enjoyed myself immensely. i will also probably do it again tomorrow :oD

you should try playing the link while looking at the right click taskbar menu. you wont be able to resist, and maybe even your feet will start tapping :oD

guessing you know how to follow the instructions :D

but obviously instead of 1, set it to 0

see if it helps
Parent
er i dont really see why i would want to NOT save something that reverts to default

it'd be fine if i quit windows normally but i just hold down the power button
\
that thing would not save my expanded c_askbar even if i wanted it to
Parent
don't do that :-(

"It is very important that the system is shut down properly. Simply turning the power off can cause serious filesystem damage. While the system is on, files are in use even if you aren't doing anything. Remember that there are many processes running in the background all the time. These processes are controlling the system and keep a lot of files open. When the system just gets powered-off, these files are not closed properly and become damaged."
Parent
ive been doing it for years though :oD
Parent
the setting is NoSaveSettings and windows most likely thinks it is set to 1

so by setting it to 0, you are telling windows to save your desktop settings for the next startup
Parent
nah it does save when i turn off the pc properly
Parent
haha I was gonna say the same but include adding the sugar.

tbfh I reckon most people do it for all kinds of things ... maybe :P
