looking for a media player

If I can save mp4 video files onto the 8 gigs, and then take my key back home, this is the perfect solution.

Doesn't look like that has any way to load files to it. No USB.

I'd like to bring movies to my friends on a USB key and then watch on that TV. She has an HDMI input free. What media player will do this? (or a tiny media player with USB to load it)

what laptops with WIDI?

Looking at new laptops today at Microcenter and only a handful say WIDI anymore. My impression is that the 3000 series i3 i5 i7s all support WIDI. Do we just pick any laptop with this chip, then install drivers? Or, must it specifically say WIDI somewhere? Thanks!

Zonealarm pop ups?? better choice?

I should point out that when you ask a question on Zonealarm's page, the answer you get is "call tech support". It turns out tech support is not actual ZA's support at all. It's actually Iyogi, which you can read many bad things about online. The first thing they do is collect tons of info on...

Many ways possible, but .. If all files are in one directory, go to command prompt, navigate to CD drive, then type dir *.* > c: \myfiles.txt (no space after the colon) That will create a file called myfiles.txt in the root of C:, which you can open and print. Read about dir command to...

You can sort by date on a directory, and programs like Directory Opus have a flat view where you can see the contents of all directories in one giant view.
