AskWoody PlusInstead of all that manual uninstalling, why not just use Revo Uninstaller? It does all of that for you! (Just remember not to “Restart” during the uninstall, even if asked.) Remember to run the “Scan” so it can look into the Registry and on the hard disk.

AskWoody PlusGreetings!
” (For complete security, be sure to empty the Windows trash.)” Unless sector data is overwritten, can’t it be recovered? Does “emptying the trash” overwrite the data?

AskWoody PlusGreetings!
Fred did then go on to say: “Your next step is to test the archive to make sure that encryption and compression worked properly. If it did — and that’s almost always the case — you can then delete the original files, so that only the encrypted archive remains.”

AskWoody PlusThank you for your article.
I am under the impression that AC-adapter “bricks” are power supplies that look like bricks, with a wire coming out of each end, and only take up one outlet.
I believe that what you intended to say was “wall warts”. -

AskWoody PlusMarch 13, 2014 at 10:30 am in reply to: How to use a date field within my spreadsheet as notification #1443775Greetings!
Maybe use the Task Scheduler, that invokes a batch file, that invokes the Excel spreadsheet with an Auto Open macro, which creates a file depending on the date criteria, which the batch file will check for its existence. Haven’t figured out how to get an email generated and sent.

1. I’ve found that almost all routers, when they come out of the box, do not have their DHCP range set to 192.168.x.100 – 192.168.x.199. The DHCP range, in the main router, should always be checked. You may not know who has been in there before you.
2. The goal here it to pick an IP Address for the slave router that is OUTSIDE the DHCP range of the main router, so there will be no conflict if the main router’s DHCP assigns all the addresses, within its range, to other devices.
3. I believe that the last IP Address you mention should have been “192.168.0.2”.

AskWoody Plus1. Since I don’t remember you mentioning what or how to access the “Web UI” of Router A, I suggest an alternative would be to enter “ipconfig” (“ifconfig” on non-Windows) in a Command Prompt and press Enter. You can usually use the “Default Gateway” IP address to access the router’s Web UI by entering this IP Address into your browser.
2. In your third screen shot (of Router B) , you show “Default Gateway” being left all zeros (and that it is optional on your router). It might be safer to put the IP Address of Router A here.
3. To access Router B after the reboot, use the new, static IP Address that you just assigned to it (“192.168.0.200” in your example).

AskWoody PlusGreetings!
I use Revo Uninstaller (free), which will usually clean up most, if not all, of the stuff left in the Registry and on the disk. -

AskWoody PlusMight check Right-click My Computer -> Properties -> Hardware -> Device Manager -> right-click IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers -> Properties -> Primary IDE channel -> Advanced Settings -> Current transfer Mode = “… DMA …”, not “PIO”.
