Winzapper

I tried to run Winzapper on Server 2003 and it didn't work – it just flashed open and closed immediately. Does anyone know for sure whether it works on Server 2003? Thanks, Captain Zyrain 23:44, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Clearlogs

I know that when you clear the log in Event Viewer, you end up with a single log entry – the one recording the clearing of the log. What if you use clearlogs? Does that give you a completely clear log? Captain Zyrain 08:13, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AfD comments as a reference to an assertion about admissability in court?

That last section probably needs deletion. It's self referential and we are not a reliable source. I'll delete it myself shortly barring consensus not to do so. ++Lar: t/c 19:27, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is there another reliable source we can use? Captain Zyrain 19:37, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No idea if there is a reliable source or not but the current section is not based on a reliable source. The say so of a user, on a talk page of some sort, however well respected the user is, is not a reliable source in an article. It needs to come out. If at some later date a reliable source can be found, then reinsert the material. I see you have revised this and added a new source, my suggestion is just to remove the first part of the para that refers to Crockspot's quote. ++Lar: t/c 01:51, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removed Winzapper section

This section was entirely inappropriate for this article, so I've removed it completely. Sorry to whoever wrote it, but an article about an operating system technology is definitely NOT the place to write extensively about third-party software. Start a separate article on Winzapper if it's notable enough for Wikipedia. -/- Warren 05:38, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
