Costello: Hey, Abbott!
Abbott: Yes, Lou?
Costello: I just got my first computer.
Abbott: That’s great, Lou. What did you get?
Costello: A Pentium II-400, with 64 Megs of RAM, a 18-Gig hard drive, and a 48X CD-ROM.
Abbott: That’s terrific, Lou.
Costello: But I don’t know what any of it means!
Abbott: You will in time.
Costello: That’s exactly why I’m here to see you.
Abbott: Oh?
Costello: Yes! I heard that you’re a real computer expert.
Abbott: Well, I don’t know . . .
Costello: Yessir-EE. You know your stuff. And you’re going to train me.
Abbott: Really?
Costello: Uh huh. And I am here for my first lesson.
Abbott: O.K. Lou. What do want to know?
Costello: I am having no problem turning it on, but I heard that you should be very careful how
you turn it off.
Abbott: That’s true.
Costello: So, here I am working on my new computer and I want to turn it off. What do I do?
Abbott: Well, first you press the Start button, and then . . .
Costello: No, I told you I want to turn it off.
Abbott: I know, you press the Start button . . .
Costello: Wait a second. I want to turn it Off. I know how to start it. So tell me what to do.
Abbott: I did.
Costello: When?
Abbott: When I told you to press the Start button.
Costello: Why should I press the Start button?
Abbott: To shut off the computer.
Costello: I press Start to stop?
Abbott: Well, Start doesn’t actually stop the computer.
Costello: I knew it! So what do I press?
Abbott: Start.
Costello: Start what?
Abbott: Start button.
Costello: Start button to do what?
Abbott: Shut down.
Costello: You don’t have to get rude!
Abbott: No, no, no! That’s not what I meant.
Costello: Then say what you mean.
Abbott: To shut down the computer, press . . .
Costello: Don’t say, “Start!”
Abbott: Then what do you want me to say?
Costello: Look, if I want to turn off the computer, I am willing to press the Stop button, the End button
and Cease and Desist button, but no one in their right mind presses the “Start” to Stop.
Abbott: But that’s what you do.
Costello: And you probably Go at Stop signs, and Stop at green lights.
Abbott: Don’t be ridiculous.
Costello: I’m being ridiculous? Well, I think it’s about time we started this conversation.
Abbott: What are you talking about?
Costello: I am starting this conversation right now. Good-bye.

You can do it in Windows XP as well.
String table > 37/38 with reshack on explorer.exe.
You know, that brings up a whole different topic. How often do people leave their computers on? Hmm…I hear a poll idea coming on *rushes to Polls forum…*

–Thanks.
Reshack: http://anton.concord.ru/ftp/reshack/
That’s kind of dumb, though, how WinXP recognizes that the file is corrupt and makes you reinstall it. I got it to work, don’t get me wrong. But I guess it’s a safeguard as well.
