Oldschool: No, re-starting did NOT eliminate this one!

Thanks, Jacee. I hadn't yet seen your replies when I posted the above. I'll do a scan now.

I can't take a screenshot since it's gone now. It wasn't in a browser. It just popped up in the lower right-hand corner of the screen, and it stayed "on top" of all other windows that I opened. If I clicked the X to close it, it would just disappear for a few seconds and then pop up again...

About 15 minutes ago, a popup began appearing on my screen. I kept clicking it off, and it kept appearing again and again, like every 30 seconds. It said things like "You are infected with 14 viruses" or similar scary messages -- different words each time -- and told me to "click here" to scan...

Here’s another amusing sitcom line, from Leave It to Beaver. Mother: "Beaver, it looks as if you didn't even comb your hair this morning." Beaver: "Yeah. I spent ten minutes getting it to look like I didn't comb it."

You know how in elementary schools, they sometimes let kids come up and tell a joke to the class. When I was about 9 years old, a boy and girl in my class did this little comedy act. The kids thought it was funny, but the teacher sure didn’t! Boy: Hi, Susie. I have a present for you. (He hands...

This is an old joke that I read many years ago. Three priests approached the ticket window in a railway station. The young lady selling tickets was wearing a very low–cut blouse, so her boobs were quite visible. The first young priest, smiling dreamily, said “Ah...... We’d like three pickets to...

Based on the directory listing, that “Repository” folder contains the names of some apps, including Photos, Paint, Solitaire, and Control Panel. But it doesn’t seem to contain any actual programs (“exe” files). I did find Notepad, Paint, and Media Player, in the folder...

After looking through all the other items in the Start Menu, I’ve now found that some of them, too, don’t seem to reside in any folders that I can find. These include: Photos, Paint, Solitaire, Media Player, Restart, Shut Down, Recycle Bin, and Control Panel.

Here’s a mystery for you! (Or for ME, at least.) I recently found that several of the items that appear on my Taskbar don’t seem to be in the system at all. The Taskbar icons work when I click them; but those items aren’t in the Taskbar folder, or the QuickLaunch folder, or ANY folder. I don’t...

Sorry -- I thought you were. In fact, I've had that happen to me too, where people thought I was serious and I was actually joking! :LOL:

Yes, children back in those days did sort of "cling" to their mothers. But it wasn't necessarily an Oedipus/Electra thing. I think it's merely because that's how they were TAUGHT to behave. You can call it a "complex" or a "neurosis" or whatever you want, but it was externally induced, not...

Here's an example of that unanswerable "juvenile logic" that pervades television (and real life too). It's from "Leave It to Beaver", the 1950's sitcom. Beaver (a little boy) has just returned home after spending two weeks away, visiting relatives. Mother: "I hope you changed your socks every...

"I appreciate your doing this for me, ma'am" said the boy. "My pleasure, dear," the woman replied. "Now, just push it in gently." "I can't get it in." "You're too excited, dear. You have to relax. Just aim it straight, and push it in slowly." "OK, I've got it in. Now what?" "Just slide it...

You can also create a shortcut to that "Applications" folder itself, if you plan to use it often. Right-click on your Desktop and select New > Shortcut; Type "Explorer Shell:AppsFolder" and click Next; Type a name for your shortcut and click Finish. The Apps Folder shortcut will then be on...
