Does anyone know how to delete the stuff that appears as previously viewed videos, etc when the app is open and you click on file and the drop down displays? Towards the bottom is a list of apparent files that have been viewed, although I see of no way to remove/delete them.

I was also told that there is no way to actually delete WMP from your hard drive. Is this so?

One last thing... I talked with the people at Plextor, because I was interested in playing a disc on my Plex. and he said not to use Winamp to play cds but only WMP, because Winamp will play them in an analog signal and WMP plays them digitally. Any comments on that??

I would think apps like WindowWasher can rempve the WMP history.
I think for removing WMP you might try WinXPLite to do that.
As for the third sounds like bullshit to me...

Well SS is down it seems and the other is actually xplite and is software that is made to strip bloated XP items you may not want like IE and WMP and so on...

Thats weird... I was just on slsk but shut it down... cuz I had to remove some things on my computer which required a reboot. Now I have to try to connect back to slsk again but it will take a bit, because of scanning all my files. Hey, do you know if the reason I get "error trying to get list" for so many people could be because of the fact that I am using an older version of slsk. I mean... I am on 154, but its like test 1


Yeah... I "probed" the server... oooh it liked that. Yep, it down fo sho!!!!

Not getting list almost always relates to closed ports usually due to router settings...

Look around in teh options there's gotta be something there abou saving URL history.

If you don't find it then just uninstall media player and reisntall and in the setup you get the option "save url history in player" just uncheck the box. :)


to remove media player all together (i don't recomend this) use XPLite Pro (http://www.softpedia.com/public/cat/12/2/12-2-134.shtml).


AFAIK winamp DOES play CDs digitally. I know this because i don't have the analog sound wire plugged in my computer. :rolleyes:

The guy I was talking with sounded very GEEKY, but whatever... anyway, doesnt the wire running from the cd player go right into the mobo/soundcard and thus make it digi? Or, like you said..."analog sound wire etc..." meaning that there are two options you can use when connecting a cd player to a mobo/soundcard. One being the analog wire, and the other being the digital wire? I dunno...maybe I am not as saavy as the techies so I dont know the answer to this, so hopefully you can :D

As, for the deleting things in WMP, Reality's suggestion of windows washer worked just fine... not only cleared that, but other crap I had as well. Damn... it showed I had about 100mb of tifs buried?? I regulary delete my cache... and it still found more. Amazing!!! Windows Washer is a nice program.

Digital sound comes in through the IDE cable (the big white ribbon cable).
Analog sound is that seperate wire (grey colored usually) that goes from the CD-ROM directly to the soundcard (or motherboard if it's onboard sound).

well then... I am more than sure mine would be digital. As far as I remembere, the last time I looked inside my box, both of my cd drives use IDE cables. And I dont know why anyone would want to play a cd on their computer and have it analog, of course when it comes out of the speakers it's analog... but why lose more than one generation?

Oh well.

But wait, its not really Analog at all now is it?
It's just a punch of 1's and 0'1 on the CD.

Somewhere on the hardware it will ne turned to Analog signal thought.

Question is, my dear Watson, wheresabout?

anyway, i take back that link, cleancache kinda sux
but then so does window washer :lol:

actually, i think pestpatrol does all that for me :unsure:
plus scans for adware, spyware, trojans, etc.
it pwns joo, 'nuff said :D

(and the new ad-aware SE removes a lot of that shit too)
they would be under the "negligable items" tab ;)

Or perhaps, Crap Cleaner.

Removes index files etc. stuff where windows stores info about
your PC usage.
