System Tray pop-ups

Shakedown
I have noticed that in XP if you hold your mouse over an icon in the system tray the pop-up shows behind the taskbar making it unreadable. I have all updates and SP1 in and it seems M$ still can't get this right.

How do you get rid of user logins when you FTP in IE6?

dcxman
I recently did a big no no, meaning, I used IE6 to FTP into my server on a friends machine. Now when I go to an FTP site on IE6 and the login box pops up, it has my user ID from my last web server but without the password (I'm thankful for that at least).

Playing DVD's on TV?

rbduck
I have a Creative DVD Rom, the EncoreDxr3 that goes with it and an SBlive value sound card. I have been playing movies on my projection TV. The picture and sound quality has been wonderful. I've read out on the net that the Hercules Fortissimo could play the DVD's in Dolby Digital.

Looking for um, "real time" URL to html tool

Dirty Harry
I find using favourites is, well, kinda impractical, especially when you have lots of them, want them on several machines and you change and reorder them frequently.

Would someone please post the Visual Basic 5.0 Help File?

Christianb
Hi Guys, I have VB 6 which means I'm forced to use MSDN which a lot of the time it's really helpful, but an even greater percentage of the time it's just a useless pain in the ass. I was wondering if someone would post the VB5 help file or e-mail it to me so that I can use it with VB6.

Disabling Screensaver for certain programs

ViolentGreen
I use the ATI DVD player that comes packaged with the radeon. The problem is that the screensaver still kicks in. I know in previous versions of windows there was a way to disable it. How can this be done in XP Pro?.
