Off topic, but those darn penguins caused me some major problems after they were cashed by my browser this morning. When my computer tried to access that GIF it would spin up my hard disk and freeze my system until I pulled the power plug. There was a redudant CRC check error of some kind that was reported, and I don't know if that was the trigger of this. Anyway, I couldn't load my Win2k user profile upon restart, so I had to go into safe mode and delete that GIF from the command prompt. Then I found out that Win2k had backed up my old profile but it wouldn't let me restore it. Turns out that "ntuser.dat" got corrupted too and all my personal settings were effectively lost. My bookmarks, start menu, and all the rest are back in their default alphabetical orders (after I copied them over manually) and I'll have to sort through them again some time. The biggest loss are my registry bookmarks which may take some time to rebuild.
On the bright side, I've learned to backup my user profiles now. You still have my thanks for removing that GIF from your signature though, Maximus :lol:
