Nice to Have a Blog (Real vs Spam comments)

Hello,

Since October 2010 that this blog saw the light have been more than 3 years online and on all that time we had a total of 0 (zero) real comments! But nice to know that our friends bots and spammers are around to keep us live! Spam is winning 116 vs 0 Real!

Anyway, lets see if adding some more complex and interesting posts can bring even one real reader πŸ™‚

Regards,
AC

If you are trying to delete some expired or old certificate from your computer/server and even after doing that (on IE) is still showing some where, that means that is on your server cert store, so you must kill it trough IIS.

As this:

c2c_service.exe

Hello,

If you are annoyed for “c2c_service.exe” running on your PC, theΒ  only way to disable that is going to services, stop it and set it to disabled… (Because even if you set it to off on the Skype advanced config it will be there…)

Theoretically it belongs to Skype, to the Click to Call feature… But is necessary a service for that? (Or is there something else??)
More Info: (If that can be called info)

Burning one file on Vista/2008

Hello,

I just found one error of Windows: If you want to burn just one file on a CD/DVD using the included Vista/2008 burning feature, it is just impossible… You have to include at least 2 files!!! (even if the second one is just a blank txt file)
