Mail Password Recovery v1.0 [10k] W9x/2k/XP FREE
http://www.mywebattack.com/gnomeapp.php?id=105330
Mail Password Recovery allows you to recover your e-mail password for any
POP3 account, as long as it is stored in an e-mail program on your computer.
You just need to temporarily change the settings in your e-mail program, so
that it connects to Mail Password Recovery instead and your password will be
revealed. Mail Password Recovery works by emulating a local POP server; your
e-mail program hands over the password when it connects, and Mail Password
Recovery will show it to you. The program only works with e-mail
accounts/passwords that have the login information stored in your e-mail
program (Outlook Express, Eudora, etc.) [MWA]

Next Microsoft OS "Longhorn" will be radical change from XP
http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/business/97709_longhorn29.shtml
By Dan Richman ~ Seattle post-IntelligencerAN RICHMAN
Windows XP has been on the market for a year now, so naturally everyone is
clamoring for details on the next version of the world's most popular
operating system -- or so Microsoft Corp. hopes.
Details are dribbling out, but Microsoft won't say a word on the record,
declining to comment for this story. Analysts and software developers
haven't been briefed, either.
But here's what has leaked out so far.
The next version of the world's most popular desktop operating system,
code-named "Longhorn," is due out in test form next year and in final form
in 2004. It will have a new look and feel, very different from Windows XP's.
Its guts will also be radically different from Windows XP's, because they're
based on XML -- extensible markup language, the emerging lingua franca of
the Internet. And it will be the first version that won't function fully
without new hardware.
"With the possible exception of Windows NT, which was a change from the
ground up, this could be the biggest change ever" to Windows, said Giga
analyst Rob Enderle.

"Do you need to convert Webshots images into their original JPG
format?
WBC2JPG - Extract JPG images from your WBC and WBZ files
Then the tool you need is WBC2JPG for Windows, that is able to
extract ALL JPG images from WBC (Webshots collections) and
WBZ files. After some requests, I reverse-engineered Webshots

This little utility is totally freeware."

Clu Clu Land game ~ freeware
http://www.sibgame.com/clucluland.html
Windows 95/98/NT/ME/2000/XP
The action in this game takes place in the world called Clu Clu Land. This
world is a closed space with several poles inside. You control a small
creature living in this world. It looks like a drop of jelly with hands and
legs. You move from one pole to another looking for hidden bars. As soon as
you find all of them, you uncover a picture. Move from one level to another
to find more pictures.
In order to solve the problem you must learn how to control the main
character. It's not that easy to do that. The main character is constantly
moving. It cannot stop and turn back. Instead, it can reach out a hand, grab
onto one of the poles and swing itself around. That is, if you are moving
north, and click the RIGHT button, you grab onto the closest pole and start
going around it counterclockwise. When you turn in the right direction, you
release the button and continue moving. Funny, isn't it?
Beware the monsters and try to always keep a safe distance from them. The
monsters can annihilate you and they will always disturb you. You have one
weapon - the energy wave - that can stun the enemies and make them numb for
some time. A numb monster is not dangerous. You can approach it, move it and
even crush it against the wall.
Download our game and try to complete a couple of levels.
It will not leave you indifferent. Maximum fun guaranteed!

Bypassing The Windows Logo On Startup
To bypass the Windows 95/98 logo at startup:
You add the setting LOGO=0 to the MSDOS.SYS file.
When you eliminate the splash screen, however, there is a
small tradeoff. You won't go immediately to your Windows
desktop or to an application you've set to run on startup.
Instead, you'll first see a black DOS screen that displays any
real mode drivers that load during the Windows startup procedure.
You will find MSDOS.SYS in your root directory of
C:\, double click the file will bring up the "open with"
selection box making sure "always open with is UNchecked"
select notepad. Once open simply add
Logo=0 as the very last line in that file.
Click file-> save and you are all done.
Keeping in mind this will over ride any other applications that may
change or edit your startup splash screen.
In Windows XP, you can do this by editing the boot.ini system file.
The easiest way to do this is to click Start and Run, enter msconfig
and click OK.
Select the BOOT.INI page.
You'll see the boot.ini file ready for editing, but also some check-offs
below that save typing. Put a checkmark beside /NOGUIBOOT.
Restart the computer.
