Its a miracle - No more IE 6

I found a .bat file to diable access to IE 6 on Windows XP. Its seriously a miracle, for we have been plagued with spyware and pop-up crap on our public terminal here at the 567.

Here are the instructions if youa re interested.

To disbale access open up notepad and type the following text block, and save it as disable-ie.bat on the desktop.

@echo off
C:
cd "Program FilesInternet Explorer"
if not exist IEXPLORE.EXE goto End
if exist IEXPLORE.EX_ del IEXPLORE.EX_
if not exist IEXPLORE.DIR md IEXPLORE.DIR
if not exist IEXPLORE.DIR goto End
attrib -r -h -s IEXPLORE.EXE
ren IEXPLORE.EXE IEXPLORE.EX_
if exist IEXPLORE.EXE goto End
ren IEXPLORE.DIR IEXPLORE.EXE
echo IE disabled.
echo If prompted, click "Cancel" then "Yes" on File Protection restore.
echo Run enable-ie.bat to allow IE to run again.
:End

Once it is saved, double click on its icon on the desktop. If a warning pops-up ignore it. After it finished running, you will not longer be able to access IE on that computer.

Hopefully, you simply switch to firefox and forget about IE once and for all. If you change your mind about the procedure, here is the antedote, to re-enable IE 6.

Copy the text below into notepad and save it as enable-ie.bat on the desktop. Then just as before, double click on its icon to run it, and enable IE access.

@echo off
C:
cd "Program FilesInternet Explorer"
if not exist IEXPLORE.EX_ goto End
if not exist IEXPLORE.EXE goto Activate
attrib -r -h -s IEXPLORE.EXE
rd IEXPLORE.EXE
if exist IEXPLORE.EXE del IEXPLORE.EXE
:Activate
ren IEXPLORE.EX_ IEXPLORE.EXE
echo IE enabled.
:End

Hope this helps. I know it worked for us.

More Cellphone Tests

This is a picture of chris trying to send a journal and picture from his phone. Unfortunately, his phone is hard to type on. I am so glad I have the little flip up keyboard on mine.

Rush Limbaugh and Nice Blog

Here is a [inlink]holly,50[/inlink] to holly's journal about the torture in Iraq. Here is what Rush limbaugh has to say officially on his own website and in his transcript.

"Hey, that doesn't look so bad." You know, if you really look at these pictures, I mean I don't know if it's just me but it looks like anything you'd see Madonna or Britney Spears do on stage. Maybe you can get an NEA grant for something like this. I mean this is something you can see at Lincoln Center from an NEA grant, maybe on Sex in the City: the Movie. I mean, it's just me.

Does anybody want to help me rape his ass.

On another note here is a really informative blog about issues around the war. The antiwar blog

I failed in accessibility

My horoscope said not to let myself become idle. If I do not find an important task I will get in dumb trouble. So I thought, is elmwoodstrip.com accessible to people with disabilities. Well, it is not, not even close. Check out the statistics.
