A few software questions...

[XTERMIN8OR1]

There is a program called System Restore in Windows XP. (You can use the Restore Points it generates to turn your computer back to an older configuration if you screwed up something and you can delete those Restore Points if you start something called Disk Clean). I don't know why, but since a few weeks I can't delete the Restore Points. Has anyone ever had this problem? Any solutions?
How can I enable pasting to the Mozilla FireFox WYSIWYG editor?
I looked around in the FireFox options menu and noticed you can block malicious sites. I found a very long .txt-file on my comp with such sites and I want all these sites added to the FireFox block list. (The .txt-file came with Ad-Aware SE Professional). The problem is that I can only add one site at a time to the FireFox block list. It would take me days to add every site one at a time. Does anyone know a faster way of adding malicious sites to the FireFox block list?
Thank you for any valuable help.

Well instead of adding the sites to Firefox (why do you need to anyways? Firefox can not be hijacked -- it can be like crashed from time to time, but thats not really a big deal)

Otherwise, you can use your host file to block those sites from ANY browser on your machine, I would suggest googling it (host files (http://www.google.com/search?q=host+files)).

As an alternative to doing that -- the easier way, is to simply get Spywareblaster, its free, and it blocks 1000s of sites including ones for Firefox, IE, and others.

You second question confuses me, what WYSIWYG editor? If your talking about the Warboards WYS-Editor then maybe it just doesnt allow pasting? Switch to a different one xP

Not sure on System Restore, I don't use WinXP often, and when I do I don't use System Restore, or at least it doesnt work for me, lol xD

Firefox can not be hijacked -- it can be like crashed from time to time, but thats not really a big deal)I knew FireFox is safer than Internet Explorer, but I didn't know that it was impossible to hijack.Otherwise, you can use your host file to block those sites from ANY browser on your machine, I would suggest googling it (host files (http://www.google.com/search?q=host+files)).OK, I downloaded a host file from one of the sites in the Google results. AND got it to work-lol.As an alternative to doing that -- the easier way, is to simply get Spywareblaster, its free, and it blocks 1000s of sites including ones for Firefox, IE, and others.OK.You second question confuses me, what WYSIWYG editor?

Switch to a different one xPI switched to the standard editor and pasting is enabled now.Not sure on System Restore, I don't use WinXP often, and when I do I don't use System Restore, or at least it doesnt work for me, lol xD
-NeoThen I'll just wait a bit for help with this.

Yeah Have you updated to SP2 recently?

Maybe it doesn't allow Restore deletes or something?



You can either delete all restore points except the latest one, or all the restore points
•

To delete all restore points except the latest one, use the Disk Cleanup utility. Click Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and then Disk Cleanup. Click on the more options tab and then select Clean up in the System Restore dialog box.
•

To delete all the restore points on your computer, disable and re-enable system restore on the system. Click Start, Control Panel, and then the System icon. Click on the System Restore tab in the dialog box, select the Turn off System Restore check box, and click Apply. Clear the check box again to re-enable System Restore and then click OK.
•

You can reduce the number of restore points saved by decreasing the total amount of disk space available to System Restore. Note that less available disk space will decrease the relative number of restore points.

Thats what MS had to say on it... I guess its not helpful? :(
