Sketchy

i googled "Sketchy" but didn't find anything, can you send me a link plz...
Thnx....

[Steve R Jones]

That info is hard coded into the app.... You can change it for Internet Explorer ith that'll help.

[GroundZero3]

Sketchy isn't something to help you, I was saying what you are trying to do sounds sketchy.

What application are you trying to manipulate?

I'm tempted to make that my new signature.

Trex: what are you hoping to achieve by confusing them and/or changing application names? Pranks are bad for your health and the health of your friends. If you just want to clear your history, recently opened documents, etc. to hide some pr0n that's easy enough, lol, you don't need to be an expert coder or pull out the hex editor.

Okay here's the deal. No one seems to respond to this asinine thread because... well it's asinine. But I'm going to explain this anyway because you called me a genius and I'm flattered:

"Sketchy" has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE THREAD. It isn't something you name a program, it isn't the name of a program, it isn't a task, it isn't a service and it isn't a type of SDRAM (thought I'd cover all bases)! He was basically saying that your motives may be disingenuous for wanting to change active program names running and appearing on your task bar. You know, being "sneaky." Sketchy means the same thing. Dishonest.

But glad you found what you're looking for.

"i hav also seen this page but i mean i hav found nothing of my interest....

That's mean... bonehead is pretty smart! Don't make enemies on the forum. People are very nice and helpful here. Plus I wouldn't get RR angry. He has a red button that's just perfect for lifetime bans.

Also...

If it is some sort of adult content you could just rename videos, pictures, etc. Programs though? No such luck (no easy way of doing it). But maybe you found a tool that does other things like hide the task bar or form a short cut that, when clicked, hides the task bar. That's also a good technique.

You can set the taskbar to auto-hide by right clicking on it, hitting properties and then by selecting the "auto-hide" check box.

You can also lock down folders from other users on your system if they have different user accounts (only your account will be able to view the files). To do this right click on the directory, hit properties, hit advanced and activate encryption (mainly supported on all professional versions of Windows though works fine on XP Media Center SP3 for me). This takes advantage of NTFS's EFS (encrypting file system). The only protection this will afford though is from other users on the computer from opening the files (those with access to your account will still be able to access the files). You could combine this with other methods such as true encryption, selecting "hidden" from the properties menu to hide the directory/file, etc.

Or you can just watch porn in front of everyone, do nasty deeds and not really worry about what other people think. Hell... at least that's an honest way of doing it. Taxman does that as do I. *

* Just kidding of course... XD At least in my case I am.

The devil told you that!

Troll...

[Interrupt]

No you! :P sorry I just wanted in on the name calling and picking on of bonehead.

This thread is silly.

[bigBonehead]

Silly it is to you and I, but not so the OP...
