    I want to disable deletion of XP Pro folder but still write to it

    I try to avoid deny ACLs. In my experience it's a nightmare trying to document the reasons behind it. On the folder you are sharing, you can apply Modify to "Subfolders and Files only".

    I'm pretty sure she said it was the first time that she's cooked halibut, not fish.

    website issue

    This is what it sounds like to me. Try having your mom perform a traceroute to your website and see where it gets stuck. From a windows command prompt: tracert <site name>

    Best 1st Credit Card?

    This is terrible advice. Please disregard it. Having said that, I prefer using one of these two: Citibank Mastercard Dividend Discover Dividend Both offer 1% cash back on all purchases and 5% cash back on all gas, grocery or drug purchases. Other cards offer rewards in the form of...

    GPS Guru's needed!

    I've decided to try and pick up the Nuvi 260 on BF based on your recommendation TimeKeeper. This looks like a solid unit and my fiance is sure to love it. Hopefully I don't like it more than my Pioneer. :evil:

    GPS Guru's needed!

    So, I'm working out just now and guess who I see next to me?

    Why in the world does anyone think that re-hashing the same stupid joke about Bill Gates is funny? Yeah I got the joke the first time, no need to hear 2 pages of the same damn thing.
