need something a bit more.... catchy?

How about for the peeps, for the first one to make 250 usful posts gets an extra star automatically?

when i say usful post i mean by helping other with their issues, posts that are just tips & trick/news/announcements etc dont count.

or something along those lines anyway!

I looked into quizes for the forum but as rsvr85 said that little thing like google would be too temping for many of you peeps!

Could you post/tell abt some software paid/free which would give complete details of all the active-running processes?

The reason I'm asking is that I have some 60-65 processes running, and i'm not aware as to what they are for?

Appreciate your help.

Maybe the catagories could be a bit more specific to certain area's of windows, maybe it is just me but i find it a bit crammed in certain area's such as "windows 7" forum you have customizations in a sub forum under windows 7, As is windows tutorials.

I think it would be better if windows tutorials and customizations should be in a seperate "forum" on the main index page menu at the begining along with tips and tricks.

Would it be better to utilize sub forums for more "stickies/Pinned" useful articles?

Looking through there could be some great changes within the main index forum to spread it out a bit.

In windows software, there is a news article/link to software and should be split either news or software, ok it about software and would be more suited to a "news for software" forum maybe?

So the idea i was looking at is to bring all the Good/Useful stuff on to the main index page to lure peeps in

Remember, it just an idea!

Hi,
You recently asked whether a Pocket Guide for XP would be useful.
As a retured old fart, I do some volunteer teaching on Windows. Quite a large number of students are still using Windows XP.
I believe they would benefit from a Pocket Guide!

Update: As XP is now out of support, I have decided against supporting it on Windows Guides. Windows 7 really is great and, although many of us use PCs with Windows XP, I really think we need to move forward. I have a 9-year old AMD Athlon running Windows 7 with Aero so hardware usually isn't a factor with upgrades. [Rich]

I'd like to see a spot to write about Linux. I think you might increase your geek in the hood(Readers) I'm by far no expert but I do love my Linux and keep up with most user friendly distro's.

Some Linux distro's have a big focus on younger kids, as young as 8. I'm a big advocate of pushing Linux towards the younger generation for various reasons. Safety being number one. Fun number 2. Windows leaves you wanting in either area.

Update: We have a lot of suggestions for Linux; however, it's not a fit for Windows Guides and I'm not looking to add more sites right now. I really want to focus on Windows for the time being.

Perhaps you can pay these guys a visit: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions ... forums-50/

Hi everyone,

I have a lot of catching up to do on this thread. Please bear with me while I deal with questions and suggestions offered a long time ago. I'll be caught up soon, I hope!

Edit: Up to date. I've added a few drafts with post suggestions. Stay tuned.

I would suggest that you allow new users to reply when you send the initial "welcome" message and it says to reply if there are any questions. I dont even have a reply button. Am I missing something?
