Is it possible to add some additional pics to the pics from the Aero themes and use them all as a Desktop Slide Show in Win 7? So far I've found it to be an "either-or" proposition.

Windows Live Essentials Security by Ed.[_2_]
Has anyone tried this program and if so, what do you think of it. I currently have the free Avast 5.0 and of course Windows Defender. I was wondering if I should stay with what I got or get Windows Live Essentials Security. I understand when you install it that it will turn off Windows Defender and I would have to uninstall Avast. I thought maybe some of you that are using it would be able...

People continue impersonating me, why? by Mark Levitski[_3_]
I am not sure who is who anymore. I am Jennifer in reality, but some continue to believe I was a Marked Man. Kevin Panzke, for example, still believes I am who he thinks. Which I am not. There are two people named "Mark". One who posted a year ago is gone, and is totally unrelated to Jennie. That's because the name of Mark is so convenient. There are a bunch of others who posted under last...

What is the administrator password? What if I've never set it? by john ha[_3_]

I do, however, have a user account with admin privileges that I set a password to. Is that the same thing? Does my creating a user account with admin privileges and password make the password for the super-admin the same, or will the vista...
