Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Common Interests C00KIES and privacy: rant and easy fix...

I HATE HATE HATE Cookies. Privacy is out the window online without Cookie control.
I just started using a proceedure to control them that's free, no extra program, and easy.
Go to www cookie control org....
Now it takes two fast clicks to kill those unwanted Cookies. :p
Now if I could just find a program that tells me EVERY program running on my computer, what it does and it's path... and could CLOSE it. I have a couple of things running that I don't need and just can't find the "off" switch! Even trying to delete them, no... cuz' they are running! Jeesh.
(Prolly' some proceedure to do it in Windows, but I am a n00bie at this)
ADDED: odd, I was not allowed to post the exact site because it contained the html cookie??? what's that all about

as for site name it hasnt entered as HTML as in www.contour.org

what system are yu running? all pcs can have there process es switched off manual via the services area

btw if yu ever wanna get rid of cookies its easy in a pc

go to internet explorer and find properties

delete temporary files

click settings

highlight all files

delete!

There's a couple ways to kill programs that you can't seem to find.

Start-->Run...--> msconfig -->Ok
Click on the "Startup" tab. The checked programs are the ones that run upon startup. Uncheck the ones you don't want (which should be everything but anti-virus software). Then click "Ok" and you'll have to restart, etc.

That can be used in conjunction with the following: Start-->Settings-->Control Panel-->Add/Remove Programs Then just click on whatever you want gone and it should take it off. This completely removes the programs from the computer.

If you just want to end a program without deleting it and don't want to go through the first procedure, hitting Ctrl/Alt/Delete then selecting the program then "End Task" should end it.

Hope this helps.
