GE Ed,
HG> The date/time is stamped on the message when it is uploaded to your
HG> Host
EV> I didn't know that, I thought whatever time I last edited a message
EV> stayed with the .REP packet I send to my BBS.
You saw the reply from Mark. The time stamp depends on the BBS software.
HG> What Win10 Telemetry situation?? Never heard of such a thing.
EV> I learned of it at www.askwoody.com .
Problem is that you read too much gossip!
HG> There exists a setting where you can disable anything the machine would
HG> like to send to M$, or anything M$ would like to know. Use it!
EV> I've read a comment that doing that would prevent Edge from giving
EV> any Results from a Search that was done using it.
I don't use Edge.
How much do you use Edge??
EV> Do You like using Cortana?
No, I don't use Cortana!
EV> Currently I am using FortKnox Firewall (free) and Avast! (free).
OK. AVG seems to be the most popular antivirus program. All bulletins
and messages coming here, have been scanned by AVG.
EV> I use to "think (TM)" I may want to start using Windows 7, but not
EV> now.
DONT!
I have an old computer magazine that shows its cover. At the bottom is a
header that says: "Hasta la Vista!! How you change back to Windows XP".
EV> I saved the older copies of WIN.INI and SYSTEM.INI by using SaveAs
EV> and changing the INI Extension to numerals, as in WIN.001 for the
EV> first time I saved it and incrementing the number each time I saved
EV> another copy of the WIN. file.
I didn't collect old WIN.INI files. When making some changes, it was
enough for me to save the previous .INI file as WININI.BAK.
EV> This computer works but I don't think it works as it should.
Neither do I.
EV> In the years following I have read that a person ought to make a
EV> Full Backup or a Clone HDD as the FIRST THING they do on a new
EV> computer before they connect it to the internet.
M$ recommends, and has a menu item in Win10, to make a recovery USB
stick, right after you have installed it. Good advice to anybody.
EV> Yes, a Incremental backup takes a shorter time to do, but if ever I
EV> would have to do a Recovery I would have to Recover the First backup
EV> and EACH ONE of those Incremental backups I had made to get the
EV> computer Restored.
The last Incremental backup contains all shanges you have made since the
first backup.
EV> It is 23:20 when I saved this message.
That is the time the header shows too.
Have a good night,
