I try to avoid software thats end of life but occasionally I get stuck with a few programs that just don’t have any updated versions or are tied to a piece of hardware that I need to use. LCDC is software designed to run little LCD displays you can buy for your computer. I have one in particular thats over 3 years old now but still runs great. However it hasn’t been updated well ever.
Today I took to scanning my PC and discovered that some of the plugins for LCDC were infected. I decided to check the web site http://www.lcdc.cc/downloads.htm for updates, it didn’t appear off hand that any were actually updated, but it does appear that some are not infected and others still are.

When it comes to passwords nearly everyone has their own system to deal with them. But how secure are they?

Something I heard about last week but haven’t had time to put up here is the “God Mode” feature. If you want to have a common area to access all your settings features, rather than navigate in the normal Control Panel method you may find this mode to be a bit of a time saver.
To enable simply Create a New Folder and name it this:
GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
That will change the folder icon to a Control Panel icon and will then give you direct access to all the features in a simple list format. If you prefer having the short explainations they will be missing.
So far no comments from Microsoft about this. Enjoy.
