AHA! I figured it out. Under Safari version 4, you don’t simply double-click the link in “Activity”, but rather you have to Option click. Might be Option-double click. But watching your downloads, that works! Check it out and give it a try.

I have been using the Activity to download video’s and other media for a very long time. However, I just got the new Safari 4.x and am saddened that Activity no longer functions in that way. Double-click the media link in Activity using Safari 4, and you will only re-load the file in your browser. No option for a download. That’s sad.

With a modern opera you can also add a search engine to the preferences with the following address:

With a key like IFL, you can just enter the following in the address bar:

Comment on Clear pagefile on shutdown by Larry Miller

This could be useful on some systems, but it really only makes sense as part of a comprehensive security policy. Otherwise it will be virtually useless. Most systems have security risks that are far more serious than an uncleared pagefile.

Note: Clearing the pagefile has NO performance advantages of any kind. It may lengthen shutdown times considerably.

If this setting actually worked as claimed it would impair performance. Fortunately it does not. The description provided here has virtually no connection with reality. This setting is of no value to most users. As of WIndows 2000 it is of no value to anyone – it is no longer supported.

Comment on Memory Performance Tweak by Larry Miller

DON’T BOTHER
The descriptions of these settings contain gross errors. They are best ignored.

DisablePagingExecutive:
This effects only a small portion of the Kernek. If you have. With a reasonable amount of RAM the kernel will hardley ever be paged out anyway.

LargeSystemCache:
As Microsoft clearly states, this is for servers only. For general use it will almost always be a bad thing. It can also cause severe problems with some common hardware configurations.

IOPageLockLimit:
This does absolutely dothing in XP. Support for this setting was removed as of Windows 2000 SP1. It has never been supported on any version of XP or Vista.

I just tried Safari 3.2 on Windows Vista and this method does not work for youtube. This is the first time I’ve tried Safari, so I have no idea whether it ever worked. Clicking Windows > Activity does open the Activity window but when I double-click on the youtube video, a new “theatre-style” window opens which plays the video with no controls. This means no option to download, no File-Save as (it is greyed out) and no right-mouse click options. In fact the video plays without me being able to stop it – have to close the window. I guess Youtube have changed their website behaviour to prevent this working.

Also after I used Safari to open two or three youtube windows, it invariably hangs and has to be terminated.

I tried this with a few Betty Boop videos:

I have noticed that some months ago I used to be able to recover complete youtube videos from Firefox’s cache, but that now only the first 32 seconds are recoverable.

Hi,

That was some very helpful stuff on Windows Explorer related to DLL’s.
