    With regards to a workaround, I've had some success using the SUBST dos command to get part of the path replaced with a new drive letter. So say you have c:\Stuff\More Stuff This would get that to drive V: SUBST V: "C:\Stuff\More Stuff" (To delete this substitution you would...

    Kaser 2GB USB 2.0 Jumbo Flash Drive

    Just an FYI it's actually disk based, not solid state, I wasn't aware of that initially since it is classified as Flash memory. Also, Newegg sells this under the Rosewill name, checked it just now and it's $89.99 + shipping. Works great!

    How to make MSN messenger exit completely?

    I had this problem too. I was able to finally close the messenger tray item after making a change in Norton Antivirus. In the options there is a section for the messenger, and MSN Messenger is one of the choices. I deselected that and was then able to close it.

    Thanks for the info! I ordered a couple myself - looking into a little bit, I found the same price listed if you go through dealram.com (right on the homepage choose PC2100 & this deal is the first one listed.) Also, a blurb about Smart Modular here states this stick uses the same chips as the...
