How much time do you spend looking at the welcome screen. It's related to the language toolbar. Perhaps you shouldn't abuse this newsgroups with totally stupid questions.

It is totally inappropriate. Where is the problem? There is no problem.

Plus you have to do a bit more than turn off the language bar, it is Advanced Text Services (of which the language bar is the UI for).

But I suppose if an idiot wants to give misleading advice to another idiot. Least I gave accurate if useless advice.

This is exactly my point. This isn't about user support. Pay money to MS if you want user support. It's peer to peer support. AND THE MORON DOESN"T HAVE A PROBLEM.


Morons tend to support the rights of other morons to be moronic. But it is merely abusive.

David,
While my advice may have been incorrect, at least I am not insulting
people for the sake of it. As you have a mvps.org email address i'm assuming
you are or have been an MS MVP, if that it the case I am very surprised as
this is not the sort of behaviour I would expect from other MVP's.

I don't remember anyone saying that this was a problem, the guy just said
that it was annoying to him. So he asked for assistance in removing it. You
find this kind of post annoying and have voiced you opinion, where is the
difference? I can see only one, he was polite, you were not. You have gone
out of your way to be insulting to people. If you think that what I or
anyone has posted on this newsgroup is incorrect or pointless, then fine
point it out to them, to stoop to the level that you have is just sad.

Perhaps you have a history with Andy that the rest of us are unaware. A
Google search by his moniker doesn't show any posts since about 1995.

When reading the chart regarding what is abusive, please don't read it
from a mirror which would reverse the chart. I saw nothing abusive in
the OP's post, only in your posts. It reminded me of trying to talk
with Alan Connor, a known kook (well, known to me after trying to
communicate with him; see
http://angel.1jh.com/nanae/kooks/alanconnor.shtml), who becomes severely
abusive if you ask him about his product or question his viewpoint. I
don't see cause why the OP couldn't post their preference to eliminate
something in a feature of Windows (which I don't use, by the way).
After all, the OP did post in the *.newusers group.

Are you saying that Microsoft thrusts the MVP award upon anyone simply
based on their participation in the microsoft.* newsgroups without the
consent of the awardee? If you want no association with the Microsoft
MVP program then why do you infer your participation or membership, past
or present, by the use of an mvps.org e-mail address? Have you informed
mvps.org of your position regarding the MVP program so they can delete
your e-mail account with them and remove from their site the link to
your site?

>> Greg Palmer
>> MS-MVP Windows - Shell/User

After installing Visual Studio, how to you switch back to the Windows
default debugger (Dr. Watson) instead of using the Visual Studio
debugger? Well, this must be a stupid question, too, since nothing is
actually *broke* and, according to you, there wouldn't be a problem
since the question regards an annoyance or preference. But how many
would know to go edit the AeDebug registry key and to what value to set
it? Where is the problem? According to your analysis, there would be
no problem since the question has to do with a *preference*. Being curt
and telling the OP to use the included Help and Support included with
Windows wouldv'e been sufficient, but calling the OP stupid for asking
what is a newbie question doesn't reflect negatively on the OP but
instead on YOU!

As far as gpalmer giving incorrect advice, why was it incorrect? The
navigation is correct and it matches what "Help and Support" says and
which was what YOU recommended to the OP. Since YOU think this
information from the included help (and repeated by gpalmer) is
incorrect then your suggestion to use the included help is what was
misleading. Apparently you believe some other article within help is
more relevant but were unwilling to provide the search string to focus
in on whatever topic in the help you thought was correct or more
appropriate.

We'll just assume you are having a bad day, forgot to take your
mood-stabilizing medication, your blood sugar got too low, or were going
through nicotine withdrawl and really shouldn't have responded.

LOL, I would say the truth is being stretched a bit much here by Mr.
Candy...

Obviously, a very bitter man who likes to prey on new folks coming here for
help. Best thing to do is killfile folks like him. Thankfully, they are few
and far between.
It's just a shame that some folks who find their way to these forums for the
first time, have to experience the likes of him... Not a good representation
at all for what these newsgroups are intended...

Because it's NOT A PROBLEM. As I said only people with OCD would care. It's not even customisation. It's two letters.

The flip is the sort of person to go to a hospital with a broken finger just after a bus has a headon.

So how much time do you spend watching the Welcome Screen. It's just a continuing example of scum coming here with their little selfish thieving ways and trying to waste bandwidth with useless and pointless questions.

Flips aren't welcomed here.

And what exactly are they intended for. I've been here for almost 9 years (Since February 1996). I've been using MS online services for 10 years (April/May/June 1994), and online services since January 1990.

This is a peer to peer support group. It IS NOT free technical support. For questions that are abusive they should pay microsoft. Arguably the flip is not a peer. He only has a really stupid question (don't like it then don't look at it). That is abusive. I find it wierd that newcomers here like yourself support the abuse of this group.

That's funny ... because I thought that everyone was welcome here.
Andy .... if you do come back to read this thread .... please don't judge
this place by one person, and don't feel intimidated to ask for help when you
need it. There are many people here who will offer a helping hand... From
what I've read of this thread, it seems as though the majority feels the same
way. Basically it comes down to "treating people the way you'd like to be
treated". Common courtesy goes a long way.

I am far from a newcommer, I have been following and learning from the
wondeful folks that help people here for some time.

I do not post that much, but I do occasionally if I have some time and if I
think I might can help someone. I wish I had more time to learn and do it,
as I truly enjoy " giving back to the community".

Just how do you differentiate " peer to peer support", from " free technical
support"?
Seems to be a mighty gray area there. By that logic, you could say anyone
coming here for help, is searching for free tech support.

As I mentioned before, it appears to me, you are the one abusing, at least
in this instance.

Not a problem for who - you???

It obviously meant something to the original poster, and who are you, to say
he is scum and selfish? You don't even know the guy for crying out loud!.
And, who the heck are you to say who is welcome and who is not?
Personally, you way more strike me as the type that should not be welcome
than the original poster.

Now that is truly pathetic.

When you delibrately seek to disempower non idiot users I called you on it.

Why would you have joined in at all? The question was answered, you only had disempowerment to offer, you replied to ME, you refered them to a web site that hasn't worked properly for years, and it's all in Help.

What did you expect, a pat on the back for WRONG advice.

Only if they deserve help. He doesn't. There is no problem. Windows wasn't designed to be used at the wekcome screen. It is abusive to expect enablement of his mental illness.

Well I hope they do come back. I've had some very useful help here,
from people who know what they are talking about, and are helpful to
those of us who do not necessarily know what question to ask, or how to
ask it.
If I have a problem with my setup, then I will still come here if all
the system help avenues fail. I just hope that the responses do not
include one from you.
PS anyone.....how do I block David C from my newsreader?

XP PRO - An old program left a schedule run icon on desktop, no matter what
image I use it shows up. I have no control over icon. How can I delete it ?
Thanks in advance.
