| 40269 | 2002-03-24 04:24:00 | 1. Move to another town. 2. Change your name by deed poll. That is a *different* problem. I know that 'what you cane do with a computer is limited only by your imagination', but this is ridiculous. Some programmes allow you to have string substitutions, to save typing, but Notepad? |

| 40270 | 2002-03-24 08:21:00 | Has someone using your computer set New Plymouth and your family name as a password hence the string of xxxxx every time. Suggest find all passwords and remove. Frank. | Guest (0) | ||
| 40271 | 2002-03-24 10:34:00 | Do you have any Internet Privacy software installed. These may do what you are saying to prevent people from giving out private information over the internet. Must be an extreme case in this instance not letting you type it in Notepad. JM |
