No content in either. Obviously you are stalking me, and it's pretty
pathetic. Prove your not a coward and remove the

On the subject of empty heads and patheticism, please elucidate on how it is
that removing the x-no-archive header proves one not to be a coward.

Thank you.
 
I'm just curious, did you have any luck? I forgot to mention that I usually run
the program while Total Uninstall is still running to make sure it gets an idea
of all reg entries and file association changes, etc. that are made.

Yes, and now I know there might be further troubles as it couldn't do
a scan the first time around. I tried twice. Though I'm new to this
app, the scanning part works like InstallWatch which I used
religiously up until I partitioned my drive and it eventually would
get to the point where it couldn't scan, too.

However, now when I start running into troubles, I just wipe/reinstall
the OS and don't bother with regcleaners, install watchers, etc. But
this TI has advantage that it uninstalls, too. I don't believe
InstallWatch could do quite the same thing. It would install, yes,
but I don't think it had uninstall capabilities.

One of these days I'll go even further and image my C drive so that I
just do the whole overhaul in a heartbeat but must admit have never
done that before. Every time I say I'm going to do that next time, I
get caught up in my projects so it gets shunted and by the time I
remember, I realize I don't want to copy everything at that point
that's on my C <g>.

Anywho, meanwhile and just so that I can continue with my projects
until I do all of this, does anyone know of another app that has gives
this temporary "window on top" function to an open window as TWI does?
Must admit that this one seemed the only program that came up as
freeware. But someone might know of something else. I'm reluctant to
use TWI because of current difficulties since past experience has
shown me that an app that can't work when my system, admittedly, is
overdue for an overhaul, that it won't last long on a clean install.
It should work now as my system is still stable even if overdue. I've
had apps that stop working too quickly after a fresh start that I no
longer want to bother with those that give me trouble at this stage of
system bugginess.

Thanks!
 
Your installation is very naughty and needs a smack.

<lol> Yes, very true. Like that virtual marijuana program, wonder if
there a virtual spanker out there!! said:
Have you tried 'scanreg restore' btw?

No. But that's a thought.

Thanks.
 
Definitely, now that I see it's not working as it should. I'll give
this a try.

Thanks!

It's been a while since I used RegCleaner so it was neat to try it
again.

It didn't do the trick, though.

However, ultimately I was okay as I took my heart in my hands like I
always do when I do this, and stepped into the registry. I've been a
little more fearless in the last year or so ever since I partitioned
my hdd, to be exact <lol>. Thank goodness that all the references
were easy to find. That isn't always the case. Once I did that, TWI
finally released its hold on my Notepad program. <grizzly grim grin>

Still looking for an app that will just give me "windows on top" like
PowerPro does, though. I'm not holding out much hope for TWI. My
system is overdue but still stable so it shouldn't be at the stage
where a program won't work. I know when my system gets there and it's
still not time so TWI is not worthy to be in my arsenal because it's
suspect, sorry to say. I have this happen too many times before and
will avoid the grief right at the start <g>.

RegCleaner? Interesting.

(Pls see my other msg in the thread posted today for an update, if you
care to. I wrote over there.)

Thanks!
 
Have you tried searching through your registry, and removing all
references to the program? Of course you probably know to backup your
registry before making any changes to it.

Cheers...

Actually, that's the only thing that worked. Even after uninstalling,
TWI didn't loosen its hold over Notepad until I'd gone in an manually
erased all the entries <grrr>.

:oD

WinOnTop

15kb zipped, unzips to 34 kb. No install.

I've just tested it for a while and it seems perfect, and works on all
windows I've tried it with. Very nice app.

I also had a look at Pushpin which really ought to be good, but isn't
since it doesn't work on all windows. Unzips to 60kb, no install.

There ought to be a registry hack somewhere to add 'always on top' to
the right click menu...
 
fdisk/format would probably do better :)

I realize that you meant this as a joke, but someone who doesn't know
better might take your comment as advice and trash their system,
despite the smiley. I don't think it is wise to ever refer to
fdisk/format except as a serious (and last resort) suggestion.

You've probably found something by now, but if not, check MinMax
Extender.

1. Description
--------------
MinMaxExtender is a program and a DLL file that provides functions for
advanced window handling. It draws some icons next to the Min-Max-Close-
buttons of your windows. Clicking these icons lets you:
-stretch the selected window across the screen.
-make the window "stay on top" of other windows.
-minimize it to the tray in different ways.
-"shade" a window, sort of like on MacOS or AfterStep.
The user can select which icons to use, and exclude some window types
from receiving the extended functions.

<g> I wish. Actually WinOnTop I believe was the last program
suggested but the WI woes haven't finished so I haven't gone further
with this.

Despite deleting every single entry I could find in the registry for
the WI, every other time or so that I launch a Notepad window, it
won't be minimized. Not always, mind, which is what is very weird
<g>.

So, despite needing this type of app now that I no longer user
PowerPro at all, I'll wait till I reformat before trying it.

Thanks for the tip. I'll definitely look into it.
