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.
