Windows

[Nagaru]

I hate it, it is way to "smart" for its own good, it decides that since it has done updates it will give me 5 minutes to tell it not to restart otherwise it will. Well I have had enough of it I am uninstalling every program under Windows except for games.

Just so I don't have to hear it, I know I can disable automatic updates but I shouldn't have to.

Disabling automatic updates makes baby jesus cry !

Yeah I know what you mean. The first thing I do after installing Windows is disable any feature that has "think for its self" abilities.

I'm also the kind of person who disables the recycle bin, because I believe that if i'm stupid enough to delete files in the first place, then I don't deserve the ability to get them back.

 

[Nagaru]

I should disable it all but tbh I don't think it is worth the time. Also why does it need to be restarted, in the Linux kernel they are working on a way to do kernel upgrades without restarting now if Microsoft wanted to they could do the same thing.

Quickest way is to set recycler to use 0% of u`r drives.

Ya, but why is it called the recycling bin not trash or rubbish, what do they recycle it into? Also I can't run no swap you have to have at least 2MB for what?

Sorry as you can tell I am in a really bad mood, hence the rant.

 

[Rastalovich]

U can rename it if u like, I can`t remember how it`s done, but u can call it CHOCOLATE_TEAPOT if ya want hehe. Or delete it`s link altogether.

2mb *I think* is the size of the header for the pagefile. Logic would dictate that if u had a zero sized file, win would understand u not needing one, but hey m$ knows best. (sounded good atleast)

 

[Nagaru]

Ya if I delete the page file off all disks it does its automatic resizing one, aka the disk fragmenter.

Yeah, agreed on the restarts. How do they ever think that Windows could be a serious contender for servers if they need to be restarted when updates are released.

I've never done a single windows update on my home pc. I just wait for the service packs, streamline them into my windows CD and then perform a full reinstall.

What I love at work is that when some idiot user deletes something they're distraught when there aint a recycle bin

The I have to tell em we do backups every day

Hmm, when I get updates, they just install next time I shutdown
