Download and View Flash SWF Movies

If you're like me, you could spend an entire work week watching little Flash animations on your computer. There are new ones every day made by some very funny and creative folks, and many are good for a chuckle, if not a laugh out loud. Some have even made the news recently (JibJab). Maybe you saw a Flash animation once that you thought was hilarious, but a few days later you found that the site had been taken down. By following these steps, you can view that Flash animation anytime you like, to show it to your friends, etc.

Disable RealPlayer realsched.exe

When you install RealPlayer, it will add a process called realsched.exe to your startup configuration. realsched.exe periodically checks the Internet for updates. Even worse, even if you take it out of your startup configuration in the registry, simply running RealPlayer will make it return. While realsched.exe is relatively benign, I don't like processes running on my system without my permission. Here's how to disable it.
