Registry Explorer version 1.2.5 Freeware
http://www.regexp.hit.bg/regexp125.htm
Vilma® Registry Explorer is a powerful tool that will give to
you the easiest way to rule all aspects of your system. Registry
Explorer lets you control all aspects of your system. You can
create new keys and values, add them to the registry, or delete
the existing ones.
You don't have to make a backup of all your actions as Registry
Explorer does it in the background. If you decide that an action
is not useful, or is wrong, just open the "Backup" window and
restore the item by clicking over the record. Importing and
exporting data files is very easy. The information stored in the
keys for startup and uninstall has been placed, for your
convenience, in different folders.
In this version you can easily edit the important ".ini" files.

Cookie Wall
http://www.anti-spy.20fr.com/pro_cw.html
Online privacy is a big deal these days, with huge companies being
formed every month to both protect and exploit information
gathered about you. By far the most common method used to track
individuals on the Internet is the 'Cookie', a small file stored
on your machine with information provided by a website... While
the majority of the websites out there use this tool as it was
intended, more and more are exploiting it in ways that were never
intended - that's where AnalogX CookieWall comes in.
AnalogX CookieWall allows you to quickly and easily decide which
cookies can stay on your system, and which cookies should go -
once you let CookieWall know which ones are unwelcome, it does the
rest. CookieWall can be configured to delete cookies as soon as
they arrive, to notify you of any new ones, or just que them up
for you to check out at a later date.
CookieWall is currently only compatible with Microsoft Internet
Explorer or derived versions (such as NeoPlanet); Netscape support
should be available in the near future.

Recommended Firewall Rulesets
http://www.pcflank.com/fw_rules_db.htm
A database of firewall rulesets for common applications.
The firewall rulesets are provided by Agnitum "Rules Creation and
Presets" Forum community. Agnitum Outpost firewall developers
kindly agreed to share those rulesets with Internet community and
PC Flank visitors in particular. This database will be updated as
soon as Agnitum adds new rulesets to its firewall. The users of
other firewalls can also use database rulesets as those rulesets
are suitable for any firewall.

Tina's FrontPage Tips, by Tina Clarke
Design Tip
To stop other webmasters framing your site just insert the
following piece of JavaScript code between the <head>
</head> tags on your homepage:
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
if (self.parent.frames.length != 0)
self.parent.location="YOURURL";
-->
</script>
Just change YOURURL to the full URL of the page you don't
want frames on. For example if I put that code on:
http://www.accessfp.net/index.html
I would also use the same URL in the URL field in the
JavaScript.

cornwolf is almost extinct.
In this fun game, you are that little rodent. Can you survive?

level, there are holes scattered about. These holes will take you
to different locations in the game.
Can you pick the right combination of holes to get to the exit?
Can you keep your cornwolf alive and survive each of the 25
