Not for us Windows 2000 users. I’ll keep looking, though.
Used a similar program years ago when I had Windows ME or 98 SE. Thanks anyway, Karl!

Hey Karl,

Thanks for giving this old tweak freak another FREE one to play with. Reading your article convinced me to give this one a try. Nice article – well done.

I did not see that as an option. Here is a link to the registry mod needed to do this…

Same here… FREE, no strings attached…. the only thing it costed me is 3.9 MB on my bandwidth. I’ll let my ISP handle that.

I downloaded this joint for the low low price of $0… Zippo… Zilch…Nada

It is free there is no scheme attached to it and if there was would MakeUseOf post it?

I think not!

that licensing scheme crap isn’t for this application. winsecret pro is listed in their freeware section.

lol @ those something for nothing schemes.

“We show you how to make use of free applications!”

It’s not really free: you either pay $35 up front, or you jump through hoops with “advertising partners” (kind of like those stupid “free iPod” schemes). I’ll pass.
