    - Active Desktop scheduled syncronization issue I'm trying to add a scheduled update for my active desktop link (http://images.intellicast.com/WeatherImg/RadarLoop/spi_None_anim.gif) and every time I open the Schedule tab to view the previously scheduled syncronization, that schedule has disappeared and I end up looking at a blank scheduled synchronizaiton list. In the past I've been able to configure this active desktop scheduled update to run every 5 minutes in order to update any changes in the midwest weather radar map. I've been unable to figure out why my scheduled active desktop update keeps disappearing. I'm using Windows XP Professional with IE7 Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please send an email to bpmoran@gmail.com if you have any suggestions for fixing this issue. Brian Tag: Windows XP Logon Screen Tag: 154459

    - Icon text background not transparent Hi everyone, I've tried everything I can think of and nothing seems to work to make the background behind the icon desktop icons text transparent. I have gone to System Properties > Advanced > Performance Settings >Visual Effects and checked "use drop shadows for icon labels". I have made sure that "Lock Web Items on Desktop" is not checked on Desktop properties under Arrange By ... I have also gone to the Desktop tap under Desktop properties and clicked on the Customize button and then on the Web tab I made sure there are no checkmarks in that window. The wallpaper selected is Azul that comes with Windows. Is there anything else I can do or check to make the icon background transparent? Thanks so much!

    - Desktop Background Listbox problem..... When I right click on my XP Pro SP2 desktop and select Properties>Desktop the Background listbox doesn't just list the files in %SystemRoot%/Web/Wallpaper. It lists those plus every bmp file in the My Pictures folder and sub folders. I searched the registry for "wallpaper" and found that HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion's WallpaperDir setting was in fact set to %SystemRoot%/Web/Wallpaper. So I dno't get where the other files are coming from. The problem here is that this is a new build and I haven't even started to put in my THOUSANDS of images into My Pictures yet. When I do, if this behavior persists, it will most likely freeze my Display properties dialog and make picking out wallpaper form the thousands of images that I have quite messy if not downright impossible. Has anyone seen this behaviour in XP or know of a fix for it? Thanks! jim Tag: Windows XP Logon Screen Tag: 154450

    - Changing a font name Here's my problem. I loaded a font called "Times and Times Again". The font is an old fashed looking times style font. The problem is that when I display web pages that use the "Times" font as the first in the font-family list, the OS confuses that with the "Times and Times Again" font and it looks wonky. As I really like using the "Times and Times Again" font when journaling heritage scrapbook pages, I don't really want to remove it. I was hoping there was some way to rename the font so that the OS doesn't mistake it for the "Times" font. Tag: Windows XP Logon Screen Tag: 154424

    - Computer reboots on shortcut key Hi, I've had a "hot-key" assigned to a spreadsheet shortcut for a couple of years. Only recently it has begun shutting down the computer (force a re-boot) when I use this short-cut. The hotkey is CTRL-ALT-X and it's assigned to an Open-Office "calc" document (XLS spreadsheet). It usually happens when I have a number of windows open. The re-boot does not pause and ask me to close programs or save information, it's rather instantaneous. Normally, XP (pro)'s shutdown is takes quite a while (seems longer and longer after every windows update, as do my boot-ups).

    - Windows XP Explorer - Detail View - Highlighting The mode "detail view" of the windows XP Explorer was enhanced with a feature that highlights the selected column with e.g. a pale grey colour in addition to the sorting-arrow in the top of the column. I've seen, that the windows-explorer of some XP-Clients does not show this highlight-effect (there, an installed Outlook does not show this either). So it has to be a centralized setting. Is it possible to influence this default behaviour of Windows XP by changing a registry key? Goal: to switch the highlight effect off or on. Remark.: The accessible settings via Windows user-interface do not affect this. Tag: Windows XP Logon Screen Tag: 154368

    - How would I make a new start-menu? Background: I'm a fairly new software-engineer. Have mostly worked in game-engine coding, and some linux programming both in C++. Less so on the Front-end and Windows sides. But have used Visual Basic and TrollTech's QT GUI libs before. Tools: Have most/all of the 'free' visual-studio installed on my Windows XP-Pro box. Question: I have some ideas for extending the basic desktop-functionality with simple new features. I also want to try streamlining or even re-writing the 'Start-Menu'. My ideas are purely functional and 99% graphics independent. Not eye-candy! How would I go about proto-typing these for fun/testing/personal-use? Guess my question is which tool do I need, and what relevant resources can I check for more information? Or what keywords would I google? I need a starting point. Come to think of it, if MS-Windows is closed sourced, can one do something like this? Thanks! Tag: Windows XP Logon Screen Tag: 154291

    - M I`5,Persecut ion , my r esponse to t he h arassment -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -= my. response to the harassment -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- My first reaction in. 1990/91 was to assume that if I broke contact then they would not be able to. follow and would lose interest. So I did the things that have been suggested by other people;. I sold my television, stopped listening to the radio and tried to. withdraw away from the sources of abuse as much. as possible. I reasoned that they must have more important things to deal with and that normal people would simply leave me. alone if it were made difficult for them to continue. their harassment. I reckoned without the sheer. vindictiveness of the abusers. They did not let up but instead "got to" people around me,. mainly people at work, to do their dirty work for them. I went to see. my GP, who refused to believe what he was. being told, and refused to direct me on to anyone who could be of practical assistance. It was not until three years had passed that the. GP admitted the matter was outside his. competence and suggested going to the police. In the summer of. 1994 we called in counter-surveillance experts from a private. detective agency to sweep our house and telephone for bugging devices. They conducted a thorough search. and found nothing; but as noted above, since the existence of surveillance was being forced. in my face by the harassers, you would expect them. to have taken the possibility of a counter-surveillance sweep into account when planning the type of. devices to be. employed. In. Easter 1995 I made a complaint to my local Police station in London, but the police. have not expressed any intention to do anything about the continuing harassment. ("we're not saying it's happening and we're not saying it isn't happening" were the words used).. I think the officer I spoke. to at Easter wasn't aware of it happening, although other members of the police force obviously. do know. From April 1995 until. the present time the matter has been discussed in a lot of detail on the Usenet (Internet) "uk.misc" newsgroup. That. discussion has given birth to the article which you. are now reading. My hopes in posting to. Usenet were that wider publicizing would discourage the security services from continuing their harassment, and "draw people. out" into concurring with the truth of what was being. said. Neither of those have followed,. but the discussion has served a purpose in allowing this structured report. to be created. 9312 Tag: Windows XP Logon Screen Tag: 154253

    - M'I`5 Persecuti on ' purpo se in publ icizing it ; cens orship in u k.* news groups -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -= purpose. in publicizing it; censorship in uk.* newsgroups -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The postings to uk.misc newsgroup generated a very. defensive reaction from Usenet. readers in the UK. So much so, that they tried strenuously to suppress what was being said, both by breaking the rules. of netiquette in their responses on. the forum, and directly by action to revoke the account from. which the postings were issued. Yet the postings were within the normal boundaries of. behaviour for uk.misc, and other less. partisan spectators did not see justice in the censorship which was effected, as the following. excerpt shows; :Karen Lofstrom (lofstrom@lava.net). wrote :>It. does seem that the frequency and the size of his posts are :>approaching. net abuse. However, IMHO, they aren't quite there yet. If :>his postmaster were to act in. this instance, it would raise troubling :>censorship. issues. The inescapable conclusion of the censorship effected on the. uk.* newsgroups is that the. British are intent on their wrongdoing remaining concealed, and therefore seek to. subvert and suppress freedom of speech, not only in their own country where the. media shows xenophobic bias and bile against. all perceived enemies within and without, but also in other countries which have their own statutes to guarantee. the basic human right of. free speech. It is absolutely necessary to bring their hate. campaign out into the open where it can be placed under scrutiny and the. harassers seen for what they are. That is the only way of. making it impossible for the security services to carry it out. There is. a wider dimension, though. Xenophobia as demonstrated by. British people and institutions over the last few years belongs to the same stable as racial hatred. In one case,. two youths on a Tube train made that racism explicit. by referring to their victim as a "soft toy, not up to British Standards". Doubtless others. victimize partly on the basis of race (isn?t it odd. that they chose to torment someone who is. not ethnically English?) while expressing their abuse in terms of another. genetic attribute, namely mental illness. All xenophobia on a genetic. basis is wrong, but while racial insults are illegal, abusing the mentally ill is neither against the law nor subject to. similar condemnation when it is. exposed. 6882 Tag: Windows XP Logon Screen Tag: 154251

    - M,I-5 Persecutio n abuse in se t-up sit uations and in pub lic -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -= abuse in set-up situations and in public. -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Strangers in the street have recognized me on sight. many times, and shown awareness of the current thread. of abuse. To give you one example, in 1992 I was seriously ill, and a manager. at work somewhat humorously said that "it wasn't fair" that people. were bullying me. A few days later, I attended for. the first time a clinic in London as an outpatient, and on my way out was accosted by someone who asked. if "they had paid my fare", with emphasis on the word. "fare". He repeated the word several times in this different context; that they should have paid. my "fare", each time emphasizing the word. For two and a half. years from the time their harassment started until November 1992 I refused to see a psychiatrist, because I. reasoned that I was not ill of my own action. or fault, but through the stress caused by harassment, and that a lessening of the illness. would have to be consequent to a removal of its immediate cause, in other. words a cessation of harassment. I also reasoned. that since they were taunting me with jokes about mental illness, if I were to. seek treatment then the abusers would think that. they had "won" and been proved "right". Remember, the constant theme of any persecution is, "we must destroy. you because you're X", whether X is a racial or other attribute. In this. case the X was "we persecute you because you have brain. disease". The similarity of this logic to Nazi attitudes to. the mentally ill is striking. The same manager who'd said "it wasn't fair" asked me in winter 1992. why I didn't seek help from a psychiatrist;. was it, he asked, because "they would think they had won" if I sought. treatment? That was something I'd never said at. work... again, taken separately it proves nothing, but many such things over a period of months proves conclusively. that people in the company knew what was going on,. and in quite a lot of detail. Usually. harassment in public lacks the level of finesse of "paying your fare". Most people's imagination. does not go beyond moronic parroting of the current. term of denigration. That is not surprising given the average level of the abusers; if they. do not have the intelligence to distinguish wrong from right then neither will they have the capacity. for anything other than mindless repetition of a monosyllabic term. calculated to fit into. their minds. The first incidents of verbal assault in public were in again in. the summer of 1990, although. they increased in frequency and venom with time. In July 1990 the first public incident occurred on a. tube train on the Northern line. Two men and their girlfriends recognised me; the. women sprang to my defence, saying "He looks. perfectly normal, he doesn't look ill". Their boyfriends of course knew better, and followed. the party line; one of them made reference to an "operation", apparently to work at. the tube station but implicitly to a visit that I. had made to hospital a couple of weeks previously. In August 1990 going. home from college, soon after getting on a tube train at. Gloucester Road I was followed by a group of four youths, who started a chant of abuse. That they were targeting me. was confirmed by other people in the carriage, one of whom asked the other "who. are they going on at, is it the bloke who just got on?" to which the second replied "yes, I. think so". I was tempted to reply, but. as in every other instance the abusers are enabled in their cowardice. by physically outnumbering the abused; any confrontation would result in my being beaten up, followed by. a complaint to the police that "he attacked us", and of course. he's ill, so he must have been imagining that we were getting at him. Shitty, aren't. they? But the shittiness of the four youths on the tube. train is as nothing compared to the episode on the National Express coach. to Dover in the summer of 1992. While going on holiday to the Continent I was. verbally set upon by a couple travelling sitting a few rows behind.. The boy did the talking, his female companion contributing only. a continuous empty giggling noise. He spoke loudly to ensure other people on. the coach heard, always about "they" and "this bloke" but never naming either the. abusers or the person he was talking about. He said. "they" had "found somebody from his school, and he was always really stressed at. school". They must have dug deep. to find enemies there; perhaps someone who dropped out of school, someone who didn't do too well later, who was jealous and keen. to get their own. back? The boy also said "he was in a bed and breakfast for only one night and they got him". By a not unexpected coincidence I had been in. a B&B in Oxford a week. previously, which had been booked from work; other things lead. me to the conclusion that the company's offices were bugged for most of the 2 1/2 years that I was there, so. "they" would have known a room in. the B&B had been booked. (But I'll bet "they" didn't tell the company's managers their offices were bugged,. did they?). After a few minutes of this I went back to. where they were sitting and asked where they were travelling. The boy. named a village in France, and the girl's giggling suddenly ceased; presumably. it permeated to her brain cell what the purpose of. the boy's abuse was. This and. other set-up situations are obviously calculated to provoke a direct confrontation which would bring in the police, with. the abusers claiming that. they were the ones attacked. Again in 1992, outside the house where I was living in Oxford I was physically. attacked by someone - not punched, just grabbed by the coat, with some verbals thrown in. for good measure. That was something the people at work shouldn't. have known about... but soon after a couple of people were. talking right in front of me. about, "I heard he was attacked". The UK police have a responsibility for preventing assault occurring, but they do not seem to. take any interest in. meeting that responsibility. I suppose their attitude is that harassment does not come. within their remit unless it involves physical assault, and they will only become involved. once that happens. That is of course quite the wrong attitude for. them to take, but as I now understand, the police investigate only the crime they wish to investigate; if they do. not take your complaints seriously then there is nothing you can do to make. them take. action. 4452 Tag: Windows XP Logon Screen Tag: 154250

    - M,I-5 Pe rsecution , who know s abo ut it ? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -= who knows about. it? =- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Many. people know, both in the establishment and media, and among the general public.. Despite an absence of its target from the UK for more than two years, the. echoes of paranoia can still be heard loud and clear from across the water. When it started in 1990, the only people. who knew were those in BBC television who were spying on my. home, and a few radio broadcasters.. There were a few cases of public harassment, but very little compared to. the situation that developed a couple of years later. The list today includes BBC TV. staff (newsreaders such as Martyn Lewis, Michael Buerk, Nicholas. Witchell), people from radio stations such as Chris Tarrant of Capital and Radio 1 DJs, people in the print media,. but also many people in the general public. All united in. a conspiracy which breaks the laws which the UK does have regarding. harassment, and all completely uncaring for any semblance of. decency or elementary respect for. individual rights. The British. police (obviously) do know the nature of the harassment and in all probability the identity of those behind. it. Some time ago I made a complaint to my local. police station in London, without positive result. The. UK police are failing in their duty to see the law enforced in not checking the. abuse. 4452 Tag: Windows XP Logon Screen Tag: 154243

    - M`I 5`Persecut ion . ho w a nd wh y di d it star t? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -= how and why did it start?. -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- The harassment didn't start by itself, so someone. must have been there at the outset to give it. a firm push and set the "animals" after me. It looks as if. I was set up in June 1990, and the timing indicates someone from university. was responsible. >One thing which has been missing from this discussion is. this simple >prognosis: that maybe he is. right and that, despite his admitted >mental condition, there really. is a campaign against him organised by >now-influential ex-students of. his university. In May or June 1990, Alan Freeman. on Radio 1 read out a letter from someone who. had known me for a few years, who wrote of the one who "wore out his welcome with random precision" (from the. Pink Floyd song). Freeman went on to. say to the writer "that's a hell of a letter you wrote there". The indication is strongly that people I had parted from soon before nursed. a grudge against me. and were trying to cause trouble for me. The suggestion. is that Freeman might have shown the letter to other people, and things could. have snowballed from there. Right from the start the real source (security services presumed). didn't announce themselves as the origin, but let the "talkers", the radio DJs, believe. that they were the originators. Think about it; if you announce, "we're MI5 and. we have a campaign against this bloke" then people might not go along with it;. but if you say, "everyone else. is getting at this bloke because he 'deserves' it" then people will join in. with fewer qualms. >Why would "they". wish to assassinate your character? It's the classic case of hitting a. cripple to prove you're stronger. Why would the security services expend hundreds of thousands of. pounds and more than six years. of manpower to try to kill a British citizen? Because they are motivated by people who. knew me at university and feel personal animosity; because they knew me to be emotionally weak, and it is in. the nature of bullies to prey on those known to be weak; and because they. can rely on the complicity of. the establishment, which the security services manipulate and derive funding from.. This is England's biggest humiliation today,. and the British security services are intent on preventing their humiliation becoming reality by. continuing their campaign of attempted murder to suppress the truth from becoming. public. 2022 Tag: Windows XP Logon Screen Tag: 154242

Say they _just_ allocated a two man. team and a PM: >supervisor.. OK., Supervisor's salary, say, #30,000 a year. Two men, PM: >#20,000 a year. each. But they'd need to work in shifts -- so it would PM: >be six men at #20,000 (which with on-costs would work out at more. like PM: >#30,000 to. the employer.) PM:. > PM: >So, we're talking #30,000 x 6. #180,000.. plus say, #40,000 for the PM: >supervisor. #220,000. Then you've got the hardware. involved. And PM: >any transcription that needs doing.

What are you doing that makes PM: >it worth the while of the state to spend over one and a. quarter million PM:. >on you? Those are pretty much the sort of calculations that went. through my head once I stopped to consider what it must be costing. them to run this operation. The partial answer is, there. have been periods when the intensity has. been greater, and times when little has happened. In fact, for much of 1993 and the. first half of 1994, very little happened. Although I don't think that. was for reasons of money - if they can tap into the taxpayer they're not going. to be short of resources, are they? The more complete answer is in the enormity of. what they're doing. Relative to the. cost to British pride of seeing their country humiliated for the persecution of their. own citizens, isn't is worth the cost of four or five people to try. to bring things to a close in the manner they would wish? To the government a million or two is. quite honestly nothing - if they can convince themselves of the necessity of what they're. doing, resources will not be the. limiting factor. 9312 Tag: Windows XP Logon Screen Tag: 154241

    - M`I 5-Persecu tion . C apital R adio - Ch ris Tarr ant -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-= -= Capital Radio - Chris Tarrant. -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-= Capital Radio DJs have been "in on it" from the start.. One of the first things I heard in the summer of 1990 was from a Capital DJ. who said, "If he listens to Capital then he. can't be all bad" (supportive, you see. We're not bastards). Much. of what came over the radio in 1990 is now so far away the precise details have been obliterated by time. No diary was kept of. the details, and although archives. if they exist may give pointers, the ambiguity of what broadcasters said. would leave that open to re-interpretation. In spring 1994, Chris Tarrant on his. Capital morning show made an aside to someone else in. the studio, about a person he didn't identify. He said, "You know this bloke? He says we're trying to kill. him. We should be done for. attempted manslaughter". That mirrored something. I had said a day or two before. What Tarrant said was understood by the staff member in. the studio he was saying it to; they said,. "Oh no, don't say that" to Tarrant. If any archives exist of the morning show (probably unlikely) then. it could be found there; what he said was so out of context that he. would be very hard put to find an explanation. A couple of days later, someone at the site. where I was working repeated the remark although in a different way; they. said there had been people in a computer room when automatic fire. extinguishers went off and those people were "thinking of suing for attempted. manslaughter". Finally, this isn't. confined to the established radio stations. In 1990 after I had listened to a pirate radio. station in South London for about half. an hour, there was an audible phone call in the background, followed by total silence for a few moments, then shrieks of laughter. "So. what are we supposed to say now? Deadly torture? He's going to talk. to us now, isn't he?", which meant that they could hear what I would say in. my room. 6882 Tag: Windows XP Logon Screen Tag: 154240

If not, why not ? I. mean if PO: >I thought that was happening to. me, I'd search the place from top to bottom, PO: >I mean I live there I would know if anything was out of place. If. I was PO: >really suspicious, I would call in one. of those bug detection teams which PO: >have those machines that pick. up the transmitted radio waves. This PO:. >reminds me of BUGS, that new programme on BBC1 on That's exactly what we did. We went to a competent,. professional detective agency. in London, paid them over 400 quid to debug our house. They used scanner devices which go to over 1. GHz and would pick up any nearby transmitter in that. range, they also checked the phones and found nothing... but if the tap was at the exchange, then. they wouldn't find anything,. would they? CS:. >Doesn't this suggest to you that there are, in fact, no bugs to be found? You can assume that they've. done this sort of thing to other people in more "serious" cases, where they would know. the targets would suspect the presence of electronic surveillance. So. they will have developed techniques and devices. which are not readily detectable either by visual inspection or by electronic means. What those techniques might be, I. couldn't guess. In this. case, the existence of bugging devices was clear from the beginning, and they. "rubbed it in" with what was said by the boy on the coach. It was. almost as if they wanted counter-surveillance people to be called. in, who they knew would fail to detect the bugging devices, causing loss of credibility to the other. things I would have to say relating to the harassment. I did all the things someone in my situation would do to try. to find the bugs.. In addition to calling in professional help using electronic counter-surveillance,. I made a close visual inspection of electrical equipment, plus any points. where audio or video surveillance devices might have been concealed. Of course, I found nothing. Normal. surveillance "mini-cameras" are quite noticeable and require. visible supporting circuitry. It seems to me the best place to put a small video. surveillance device would be. additional to a piece of electronic equipment such as a TV or video. It. would be necessary to physically break in to a property to fit such a. device. 4452 Tag: Windows XP Logon Screen Tag: 154239

    - M'I`5 Persecutio n the BB C, telev ision a nd radio -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-= -= the BBC, television. and radio -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-= The first incident in June 1990 was when. a BBC newsreader made what seemed to be a reaction. to something which had happened in my home, and out of context of what they were reading. My first. reaction was disbelief; nothing of the sort had. ever happened before, the idea that such a thing could occur. had not crossed my mind, yet there was no doubt of what had just taken place. My disbelief eroded as this recurred time after time.. Besides the news, offenders included shows such as. Crimewatch (!), Newsnight, and "entertainment" shows. There seems to be very. little moral understanding among the people who make these programmes; they. just assume they will never be caught, so they. carry on without a thought for the illegality or amorality of what. they do. The only time I ever heard a word raised in doubt was. by Paxman being interviewed by someone else (I think by Clive Anderson) back in 1990; referring. to the "watching" he said it troubled him, and when asked by the host what you could do about. it, replied "Well, you could just switch it off" (meaning the. surveillance monitor in the studio). He clearly didn't let his doubts stand in the. way of continued surreptitious spying from his own or other people's. shows, though. Now you're convinced this is a troll, aren't you? This story has been. the subject of much debate on the uk.* Usenet newsgroups for over. a year, and some readers. believe it to be an invention (it has even been suggested that a group of. psychology students are responsible!), others think it symptomatic of a derangement of the author, and. a few give it credence. Quite a few people do know part. or all of the story already, so this text will fill. in the gaps in their knowledge. For the rest, what may persuade you of the third possibility is that some of the incidents. detailed are checkable against any archives of radio and TV programmes that. exist; that the incidents involve named people (even if those hiding in the. shadows have not made their identity or affiliations evident),. and those people may be persuaded to come out with the truth; and. that the campaign of harassment is continuing today both. in the UK and on the American continent, in a none-too-secret fashion; by its. nature the significant risk of exposure. increases with time. On several occasions people said to my face that harassment. from the TV was happening. On the first day I worked in Oxford, I. spent the evening in the local pub with the company's technical director Ian, and. Phil, another employee. Ian made a few references. to me and said to Phil, as if in an aside, "Is he. the bloke who's been on TV?" to which Phil replied, "Yes, I think. so". I made a number of efforts to find the bugs, without success; last. year we employed professional counter-surveillance people to scan. for bugs (see later) again without result. In autumn. 1990 I disposed of my TV and watched virtually no television for. the next three years. But harassment from TV stations has gone on for. over six years and continues to this day. This is something that many people obviously know is happening;. yet the TV staff have the morality. of paedophiles, that because they're getting away with it they feel. no wrong. Other people who were involved in the abuse in 1990 were. DJs on BBC radio stations, notably. disc jockeys from Radio 1 and other stations (see the following section). Again, since they don't. have sense in the first place they can't be expect to have. the moral sense not to be part of criminal harassment. 2022 Tag: Windows XP Logon Screen Tag: 154238

I'm wondering if there is a way to resize the Icons associated with users on
the XP Home edition welcome logon screen. I don't know why, probably
something I did, but the darn things seem to be bigger than normal and it
bugs me to no end.
