I ran into a problem with FEBE not saving backups after adding Firefox and FEBE to a new windows Vista machine. It might have been caused in the order of how I did things. But it seems the problem was caused by Microsoft moving where the temp directory is again. Just click on debug in the FEBE options and reset to the new temp directory
Windows 2000
C:\DOCUME~1\username\LOCALS~1\Temp\febe.tmp
windows Vista
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\temp\febe.tmp

Musicmatch Yahoo And Splash screens
After Yahoo's purchase of Musicmatch the upgrade is more like a downgrade. It adds lots of junk to what was one of the best stand alone music players. Even worse they added a splash screen to older versions asking you to downgrade even if you payed for lifetime updates. I looked around and there doesn't seen to be a way to remove the splash screen once it gets added. Here's a slight workaround if you don't need to connected to them to download music. Use a firewall programs like Zonealarm and block Musicmatch from updating. If you already have it remove it then reinstall. You might need your key to use some of the features.
Maybe someone can make a better workaround. Or maybe Yahoo can put it back the way it was to regain some goodwill.

last dll portable program apps rant
I think about 90 % of programs easily could or should be portable apps.
Just include the 1 or 2 dll;s needed.
Also this is my idea and I have no idea why I didn't see it yet.
Add a menu item that adds the extension and and any other thing to the registry that add to its functionality.
Also can take out what it added to the registry.

ssv.dll
I'm always finding things to remove with HiJackTHis. Unless you use the Java Console In Microsoft internet explorer. Which can found by clicking on tools in the menu you can remove this feature.
