Jeffrey, that is awesome. I'll be pulling for you 100%. As they say in Boston, wicked cool, wicked cool!

IE8 comes with four bars, plus tabs, and many anti-virus programs add one more which must be active for it to scan for malicious scripts. Even if I merge the Anti-virus with the menu...

I find it interesting at how everyone refers to Internet Explorer as cluttered. I have never had this problem, simply because I never install any toolbars. Even when the toolbars are installed, they...

Check the BIOS setting in the motherboard and see if your fan is set to "Full" in the Power Management section.

If it has a "PWM" or "AUTO" setting use that instead.
