Best Transparent Internet Filter?
Jul 21, 2005
I'm looking for the best Internet web filter available for Windows XP that provides the ability to be as transparent as possible. The idea isto be able to manage a filtering system without worrying about computersavy kids figuring out how to get into it and take control. Ideally thefilter would not show up anywhere in the windows GUI; for example, noicons/shortcuts or menu items created. If it can't be completelytransparent, at least something that can be configured to be highlyobscure.

changed the color around the desktop icons to black. Not a major deal but it bugs me. I have no clue how to get it back to the transparent like normal. Tried to change themes but its like that on all of them.

A few weeks ago, I clicked on an attachment, and nothing happened in the foreground. However, now I have an icon (zero bytes) on the Desktop that defies removal. When I try to delete it I get Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk. Ive booted up from several PE bootables and tried using various explorers but even they give the same windows message. Ive dropped to console several times and drilled to the Desktop, but it is invisible. So it is a figment of XP. The icon is named �What NOT to do with a housecat.It cannot be renamed or pushed into another folder. Very weird. This is a nice learning experience. I do a bit of computer repair so I run into weird things all the time. The computer behaves normally in every way. XP Home, 3.3 gHz., 1 gig. ram, etc. Im sorry to have deleted the offend-ing email, as it may have yielded good evidence. Ive used Resplendent Registar, to find evidence of it in the registry. Even went to the �icon nameplace�, and there was nothing of importance. Rootkit Revealer reports: zone identifier hidden from Windows API�. (26 bytes).Blacklight rootkit prog. found no hidden items. Ive tried to use several linux bootables, but they do not work with my SATA drives.So the computer is fine, just one little annoyance. But I would like to learn from this in case I see it again in the future. Also, other people at the hospital opened it up and whatever it was, didn�t cause an issue.

i setup my office computer to be accessed remotely from home (both xp pro). i did this for the first time yesterday. this morning when i get to work i open outlook and it looks funny. when i hover over any menu item or toolbar the option is highlighted white (instead of its default blue)plus, each toolbar is "outlined".it looks like it has a perforation around it.i tried opening other office programs and they are all the same no other programs are experiencing problems.it looks like it is showing 16 Bit colors.my desktop icons are no longer transparent. i ran into this before and never figured it out it just corrected itself.

I' m supplying a screen shot. Recently I started having my task bar on the left and have started to like it. Then just now I found that nvidia can make it transparent which I tried and also like but now whenever I hit the start menu and click a program or click away, part of the start menu is ghosted into the task bar. The only way to get rid of it is to move the task bar or take a boxed window and rub it through underneath the task bar to make it disappear.

i have an image (bmp, jpg) size 800X600 its RGB color is 16,0,16. If I play a video in windows media player and then open the image with windows picture viewer, the image becomes transparent and the video can be seen. this always happens for the first video. If I have many videos lined up to run in a sequence, on some computers the transparency remains through out the duration of all the video, while on some machines every alternate video can be seen. An idea why the same happens. I need the video to be seen always with the image over it as a small part of the image contains a logo in white color.

I am trying to install XP Home Edition on an ECS KT600-A motherboard with an 80 gig hard drive and I get a message on the desktop that the VIA CPU to AGP 2.0/AGP 3.0 Controller is missing.
The message also states that the driver I need to correct this problem is on the VIA AGP Filter Driver Disk. I have tried to find this disk to download it but I have not been able to find it.
Does anyone know where I can download this disk? If so, what is the webaddress where I can download it?

while composing a letter and held down the shift key (or some key) longer than the computer thinks I should.....I got some message about filter keys - which I naturally have no idea what that is. Now I have an icon in lower right corner that is a little clock thing that says "FilterKeys". What have I done and what should I do now. I have clicked on it, but I have no idea what the "accessability options" are all about

I would like to know if this can be done in win xp environment. say I have a folder, A, of pictures only and they all have file extensions jpg eg abc.jpg, xyz.jpg. say I have a second folder, B, which contains all the files of A(if you ignore extensions) and more(but all are pictures.) But all the files in B has extensions NEF instead of jpg eg abc.NEF, efg.NEF, xyz.NEF. My idea is to extract all the files from B that has the same the name as A(ignoring extensions) and either move or copy to a separate folder ie if A contains abc.jpg, xyz.jpg then abc.NEF and xyz.NEF will be extracted and moved/copied to a new folder. I'm not sure where to start. is there a program out there that can do this? or there's a special command to type at the command prompt?

After long periods of my internet connection being idle (2+ hours usually), all programs requiring internet access are unable to connect. By idle I mean I leave to run some errands with no programs other than Zone Alarm running. My DSL modem still has all lights flashing and active. There are a couple other scenarios where this occurs as well. Ex. I'm playing WoW for extended periods but not using the internet through any other program, then upon alt-tabbing no other applications are able to connect to the internet even though WoW is still connected and functioning. Rebooting the router/modem doesn't fix it, but rebooting the comp does.

I think that I have a virus which is stopping me from 1) Installing Norton Internet Security 2005 properly, and 2) Stopping me from accessing all anti-virus related sites, for example - www.symantec.com, ww.grisoft.com, www.pandasoftware.com, and when i tried to download AVG 6.0 from another site which was unrelated to antivirus, I found that I could access the site but the download failed.
