10.5.98 - GnomeNEWS

A couple of weeks ago, several of you were sent a message stating that you had requested to unsubscribe from Lockergnome. Obviously, you found out this was a mistake (as you're still reading these issues). We're not exactly sure what happened, but it had something to do with many of us (including myself) being included in a BCC. Fortunately, none of you were unsubscribed--so that message, if you received it, should have (and can be) ignored. Computers don't work 100% of the time.

We're taking steps to make sure that this kind of thing doesn't happen again. I was extremely surprised that many of you were passionate about possibly losing your subscription to this newsletter. Obviously, if you want to receive it, that's fine with me. J While our system is solid, there are probably always going to be some bugs. If you haven't seen the Options Page on Lockergnome's site, be sure to check it out and bookmark it today. From there, you should be able to unsubscribe and resubscribe.

I'd like to use this paragraph to say thanks to every one of you. Your patience with errors is extremely appreciated. Since computer software, at this time, is written by human hand, there are going to be problems. Yes, we want the best--no less for Lockergnome subscriptions. The information shall march on!

GnomePROGRAM

Process Viewer v1.1.1.2 [37k] W9x/NT4 FREE

Sure, by hitting CTRL-ALT-DEL, you can find out what's running in the "foreground" and background. But, are you getting the FULL picture? Are you seeing ALL the details? Not hardly. That's why the experienced (and novice) troubleshooter should have this program on hand. This is for people who want to know more about their computers--not for the "average" user. Simply enough, It shows you EVERY process currently running in Windows--and then some. With this util, you can view threads & specific program version information, discover where a process is residing in memory, set the priority class, or go as far as to kill "offending" processes. It's incredibly small, incredibly fast, and pretty darn (duh) incredible.

GnomeCANDY

Stash v1.0 [278k] W9x/NT4 FREE

Graphic Designers get extremely frustrated when they see their original images "illegally" sitting on other websites. They may curse and scream and threaten action unless they're taken down, but it's sometimes difficult to prove that they created the image in question. Too bad you can't stash some hidden info into the image--something nobody else would know about. Now you can! Sure, there are other high-end programs which all you to add comments to your graphic, but this one is free! It works with BMPs, GIFs, and PNGs (sorry, no JPGs). This program would be best used to help protect your ORIGINAL graphics. NOTE: no hidden messages are in this review.

Windows Scripting Host Information

Batch files have been around since the caveman. Okay, perhaps I'm stretching the truth just a bit, but I think you get the idea. Now IE4, Windows 98, and Windows NT4 have the Windows Scripting Host (WSH)--which allows you to use VBScript in batch files within Windows! This is great for serious programmers (and advanced tweakers). For those of us who aren't familiar with WSH & what it can (and can't) do for Windows, this site is an excellent resource. There's a FAQ, links to related newsgroups, a chat room, WSH links, sample code, and more! I bet a lot of you "WSH" it was easier to edit these suckers--but I guess it's what separates the geeks from the... non-geeks?

THEME: Atomic Bomberman [996k]

Boom! I never played this game extensively, but I know friends who were hopelessly addicted to it. If they weren't blowing things up, they weren't happy. At first, we thought this kind of behavior was cute. However, when they started blowing up bowling alleys and bagel shops, we started to become concerned. I hear that they're doing better now. Black cats can (nine times out of ten) quench their explosive desires. That's one dynamite hobby... er, addiction, rather.

GnomeTIP

Don't throw it away, recycle it! Here's another nifty folder shortcut for Windows 98 & IE4 users: Right-click on the Start button, choose Explore, then in the Explorer window which pops up, create a New Folder. Rename the folder to the following and hit enter:

Recycle Bin.{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
