btw...what does the "sleep" button on my keyboard do?

you're kidding right?

No..why would I be? I'm sorry to admit I'm not as big of a geek as you all hoped. I really don't know what it does.

The sleep button should put your computer into standby mode (assuming it's been setup to support that).

To get out of sleep mode, you hit the sleep button again. (again, it varies with your configuration)

Locks the computer and puts it into standby mode.

Your baby is being undersused I must say.

Its like putting an exotic sports car in the hands of big bird...
It's kinda weird that you consider it your baby and know so little about it.

I can't stand it when people use my computer. I dunno why..privacy issues, maybe. It just pisses me off so much when someone just decides to sit down and start using it....and doesn't ask permission first. Yo..my computer is my baby...(however crappy it is)..and just anything else that belongs to me..I'd really appreciate it if people would ASK first before using. bleh...

/rant.

I really don't care if people use my computer, but I do care if they start looking through my personal stuff. If you want to play it safe just do what I did, create a separate account and stick any personal stuff in a separate hidden folder and only give that account access to it. Now, if you've got some computer savvy friends then they'll get around that, but asuming that they don't know how to tke ownership of a folder then you should be all set.

Unfortunately I'd have to agree with notfred.

dude, how do you have 1000+ posts

 

[MithShrike]

Everybody loves nativesunshine... hehe.

I don't mind when people use my computer. Except when they use it to print and bring in some disk from the computer lab they used and it inevitably has a virus on it. Even then its no sweat because it gets detected as soon as they put the disk in.

I'm one of those superior type parents, you know "My baby is better than yours." Its just simply true. My only pet peeve is people pointing to something on the screen with their finger and leaving fingerprints. Fingerprints bother me.

that is why i set my screensaver to lock at 5 minutes but my girlfriend knows all my passwords . doing search *.jpg, *.mpg won't get you anything on my computer lol

[nativesunshine]

I set mine to 5 minutes also. But some people divert my attention away from the room where my computer is...get me to sit in the living room to watch a news story...then sneaks onto my computer before the screensaver pops up.

talk about a sneak. pfffft.

People who touch my monitors must die.
