It also says that when you decide not to let Windows updates auto download.
I take all the updates, but always do so manually. Every time they put out
new ones I wait a few days to see if they screwed something up first, rather
than be one of the many who get the update automatically, then find out
something no longer works, and have to wait for MS to fix, what they screwed
up.

You just went in the same bin as Alias and Frank. Don't bother to reply, I
won't see it.

Heck, I'm such a lousy typist that it's hundreds of times *per login* :-)

You are losing credibility with those claims...

I'd go along with that Gordon.

I always login with a username & secure password to try and prevent
unauthorised access to my computer. When I'm going to bed or about to
leave home, visiting or shopping etc., I always turn my computer off.

Though I've enabled the hidden "Administrator" account for which I use a
different username & secure password. The "Administrator" account has
been renamed to not make itself obvious and is only used when I'm not
able to perform administrative tasks with my normal login.

If you never turn your computer off or shut it down, you will never have to
restart, and there's nothing silly about that.

Which never happens anyway.
