   I am still here, just not real active writing at present.   
      
   The XP pc lately has been behaving until today when I had it in   
   Stand-By for a few hours and when I woke it up the Clock Time froze   
   one minute after I logged on to my account.   
      
   If it ain't the XP box bugging me, its the Car wanting to be taken   
   to the Shop.   
      
   Windows Update didn't offer me a MSRT File the last time I went there.   
   I can still get the Windows Defender Program to Update its self when I   
   Run that Program.   
      
   I know Microsoft doesn't offer any XP Fixes now but I was thinking MSRT   
   would be a Program they would continue letting XP users get.   
      
   Oh well, I will use this XP box until it won't boot up.   
      
   I was thinking of buying a copy of Windows Seven until I started hearing   
   people write about seeing some strange changes it the Updates coming   
   from Microsoft on their Win7 machine to 'Features' like WinTen Telemmetry.   
      
   For a while I ran WallWatcher/GetLog and WireShark so I could see what   
   the Router was doing, but I stopped using those two Programs since their   
   Logs eat up space on my 250GB HDD.   
      
   I've had thoughts of buying a 2TB or 1TB HDD and Cloning the 250GB HDD onto   
   a newer HDD so I'd have some more room to spare for Logs to fill up.   
   .... ..   
      
      
   BTW, I knew where the File for Hibernate was, I don't know why I included   
   Hibernate when I asked earlier this Month.   
      
   I will take a look at Date/Time for that NTUSER.DAT File, thanks Paul.   
      
    HG> .. Read docs - always.  Understand them - that's another story.   
      
   I agree with Your Tagline Holger. Thanks for another addition to the   
   TAGLINE file in MultiMail.
