Some of you may be struggling as I did when trying to display tags on your current postings within the latest 2.x versions of WordPress. Rather then using an external plugin such as Ultimate Tag Warrior (it was awesome). WordPress now has it’s own tagging system built in.
You must place the following code within your WordPress pages were you want your tags to display, such as: index.php, single.php, etc.
You may have to experiment a little, to find the exact location you want to place this code.
This command gives you the default comma separated format that looks like this:
Tags: tag1, tag2, tag3, tag4
For other formats of displaying your tags, check out the following WordPress help page at: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_tags

Microsoft has hidden a few applications from the add/remove Windows Components Wizard that can be found within the Add or Remove Programs area. You may want to remove programs such as games and other components that are sometimes hidden from you. If you’re in a corporate environment you may want to remove the default games from your employees computers. Here are the steps for removing games if they are currently hidden in the add/remove Windows Components Wizard. After going through these steps you can unhide any of the other components you may want to remove from your system.
Does Accessories and Utilities currently show in the add/remove Windows Components Wizard.? If yes then click on details and see if games appears. If it does then you can uncheck to remove it and then click OK.
Otherwise Modify the following file – c:\winnt\inf\sysoc.inf
Now Accessories and Utilities should show in the Windows Components Wizard.
You can now select details and remove games!
You should not be able to run the following game files now:
C:\WINNT\System32\freecell.exe
C:\WINNT\System32\sol.exe
C:\WINNT\System32\winmine.exe
C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Pinball\PINBALL.EXE
Note: there maybe copies of these files located in the following directory:
C:\WINNT\system32\dllcache

Tech tips: Browser Hijacker infection.
A browser hijacker modifies your browser settings so when you type in a URL you are redirected to another site.
Off the top I was thinking you should try the following steps:
1. Delete all temporary internet files and browsing history.
2. Run a full system scan using Symantec Antivirus with the latest NAV def’s.
3. Run a full system scan using Ad-aware by Lavasoft with the latest updated def’s.
One of my tech friends suggested using Spyware Doctor by pc-tools and run the scan.
Follow any directions given by Symantec if a virus/trojan/hijacker is found. This may include modifying the registry or running a fix file found on Symantec’s website.
The last time my wife’s computer was infected with a bad virus I had to rebuild it. Meaning I saved all her data then completely formatted the hard drive thus removing everything. Then I re-installed the operating system and all her applications and of course her special fonts. :) Then I restored all her data. Very time consuming but of course this completely eliminated the virus.

Tech tip fix for “Error Message: Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \winnt\system32\config\systemced”
The fix is to boot-up on a special system boot disk and complete the following:
1. change directory to c:\winnt\system32\config
2. rename system to system.old
3. rename system.alt to system
4. re-boot pc
You should now be able to boot up your computer using this older backup copy of the registy file.
