I downloaded a TV series today and the files have come through as .bin files, which I have learnt I need to convert. I have tried to download vdcgear but it doesn't seem to work. Does anyone know how I can watch my download? Also I'm running on vista, in case it makes any difference! Thanks!

I have downloaded a zip folder, then I found out that a password was needed to use the contents of the folder. Not wanting to bother getting the password, I decided that I was going to delete it. So, when I tried to delete it, it said that it was being use by another person or program. I have tried closing everything, yet it still says the same thing. Is there a way to delete it/

I want to know what you have to put in to run Control Panel, from a school computer. Also if they have blocked it can it be run.

Also I know that you can change your password with cmd. However, can you change your network password from a computer, if it has Novell for windows.

lol I have a lot of free time on school computers, anything else that I can do, that you can tell me how to do. i mean that is not obvious.

The computers are WinXP, and they use Novell Client for Windows, idk the numbers....

That's something I've always wondered about.. don't plan on downloading anything copyrighted or anything like that.. I don't even have Limewire, etc. But really, isn't just the sharing part illegal? Or is the actual downloading illegal as well? For example, in Canada, I believe you can download them, but not upload (or share) them. I live in the US, by the way, not Canada.. Just wanted to mention that I believe it's like that there. Thanks :o)
