Sep 21	comment	Selectively deleting system scheduled tasks I would imagine that `find`, being less than 1/4 the size of `findstr` would react faster. Also, both support the use of quotation marks to surround the search term (`find` requires them), doing that will allow finding tasks like the "abc task 1" you mentioned.

Sep 21	accepted	Is it possible to extend the timeout of taskkill.exe to kill a CPU hog?
Sep 20	comment	Is it possible to extend the timeout of taskkill.exe to kill a CPU hog? @HarryJohnston - "hardware problem" - Not what I wanted to hear, but it's either that, or an OS issue (I'm currently running too many cloud storage programs [like 10 or so] and am deciding which ones I want). If you submit it as an answer I will select it.
Sep 20	comment	Is it possible to extend the timeout of taskkill.exe to kill a CPU hog? @HarryJohnston - No, I didn't try pskill, `chrome.exe` would have been WAY too slow to try to download anything, if it worked at all. After struggling with it for 9 hours I finally just powered the computer down. I'll edit my question to show basically what I was doing, though I lost the exact code. I'm a little disappointed because I figured if I could get an answer anywhere, it'd be stackoverflow.com. I am afraid I damaged it by letting it run for as long as I did, as I got a temputure error the first time I tried to turn it on, and the fan didn't start until I smacked it a few times. Loud 2
Sep 20	comment	Is it possible to extend the timeout of taskkill.exe to kill a CPU hog? @HarryJohnston - "Should" being the pivital word in that sentence. The process is eating so many cycles it ignores any attempt to close it. In fact, I may have suceeded in actually closing the window, but something is still hogging the CPU. Unfortunatelly the uncloseable task manager has itself and some othrt process flickering at top of it's process list showing 99% CPU. I only see one C:\` icon in the taskbar but TASKLIST`, when it works, shows two `CMD.EXE` tasks. Obviously one of them, I assume `PID 8708`, somehow managed to survive after the window dissapeared.

Sep 13	comment	Remove localhost? 127.0.0.1 is a hardware loop back feature of all ethernet cards. The only way to remove it is to pull the ethernet card out of your computer. Not really an option on a Mac.
Sep 13	comment	In Chrome, how do I directly download a PDF from a Google search I didn't mean the blue link text, I meant the green text used to be a link, but Google changed that some time ago. About the same time that the advanced search switches `+` and `-` started bringing up empty searches.

Sep 13	comment	In Chrome, how do I directly download a PDF from a Google search It's not really a link (anymore), that's why you can't right it and select Save As.

Sep 13	comment	Printing: Different pages from different feeds (pdf) If you stick just one page into the manual feed, then print, won't it take that first sheet and pull the rest from whats available (the bin)?
Sep 13	comment	Curious enigma of a network cable / connection / quality Are you using a switch or a hub? And is it Ethernet powered, or does it have a power-supply that plugs into the wall socket? Also, have you contacted Cisco customer support? Maybe your landlord has something that can ID the product types connected to it via their MAC addresses. What happens if you set your router to use your computers MAC address? Just throwing out ideas.
