    Alright, thank you.

    I'm just curious, but is this a British website? I've noticed most users speak similar to the way my British friends do (not trying to be racist or anything).

    EDIT: Where do you recommend I download Spybot from? Download.com?

    Download.com should be fine mate.

    Actually, this is more of an american website, but there are quite a lot of brits here too. In reality, TS is truly international.

    Is there a way I can make it so Windows Vista requires a password to delete certain files? For example, could I make it so no one can transfer a folder to the Recycle Bin without entering a password? I'm trying to keep my homework files safe. Someone accidentally deleted an essay I typed-up, which added another 3 hours to my homework.

    Thank you.

    EDIT: One Download.com, it says Spybot S&D is version 1.5. You said that 1.5.1 is the latest. Is the one from Download.com ok? Where could I find 1.5.1? Thank you.

    The Download.com version is the latest version and is actually 1.5.1.15. I just downloaded it to check. ;)

    As for your Vista question, I really don`t have a clue as I`ve never used Vista.

    Regards Howard :)

    Hello. After I ran the system's utility (Run>>>MSConfig) and blocked some start-up programs, I keep getting a pop-up on Vista telling me I blocked some start-up programs. Does anyone know how to make this pop-up go away?

    Thank you.

    Run msconfig again and re-enable whatever programme you disabled that is causing Vista to alert you.

    Ok, thanks (sorry it took me a while to reply).

    Do you know of a FREE key logger I can download onto my computer?
