Such as: "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"xxxxxx

Go to General and delete anything after Internet Explorer. Problem solved!!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jan 9, 2009. Well, maybe not solved. I don't know who wrote the "answer" above, but that method will, in fact, actually enable them all. There IS a switch (representing the xxxxxx's) which will disable all-ons, but it won't remove them. So, if you don't want to enable them all, then DON'T follow the advice above. I can't recall for sure what the switch is to stop all add-ons from being added, but it's something like -extoff (Google it.) Unless you want to disable all of the add-ons for some troubleshooting steps, the best thing to do is to disable them one at a time, because you may want to keep some of them enabled. To disable them piecemeal, open IE, Tools, Manage Add-ons, select the one you wish to disable, and click on disable at the bottom. Keep doing this for any you wish to disable. (or click on enable to enable the add-on) If the enable/disable buttons are greyed out (all of them), then try the following: (Caution: If you don't know how to safely edit the registry, find some guru who does know how to do it. Incorrectly editing the registry could hobble your PC to the point that it won't boot, requiring the complete reinstallation of the operating system and all software.) HKLM (or HKCU) \SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions and set NoExtensionManagement to 0 (zero) (this will remove the greyness.) (Setting it to 1 will grey out all the add-ons, thus preventing you from changing the status. ) What are add-ons? Well they are add-ons (usually by 3rd parties) to IE that allow you do different things in IE, like to view flash files (often called movies or a videos) on a web news site, or to make a pdf of a web page (if you have Adobe Acrobat Pro). Some are helpful antispyware add-ons, like McAfee's SiteAdvisor, etc. On the other hand, some add-ons are malicious pieces of spyware/malware and may slow your PC down or do other malicious things (and these should be disabled and removed -- removed by running a good antispyware or antimalware app.) (The removal of spyware should be done by a knowledgeable person, so you don't delete something useful or essential.)

I have a blog about coffee. How can I monetize this blog?

There are many ways but I would recommend you two different ways.

1. Affiliate marketing: Find products which could be interesting for your visitors and write reviews about them or place a banner. For example write a review about a coffee machine with an affiliate link to Amazon. Everytime someone clicks on your link and buys something you get a commission.

2. Advertising: Place ads on your blog (e.g. Google Adsense) and you get paid for every visitor. But be careful this can harm you visitors if you place too many ads!

I would recommend to start with Affiliate Marketing. Usually a good choice is to join the Amazon Affiliate program and place product links on your blog.

Is keeping a diary book better than an online blog?

I'd wait if I were in this situation. A tangible diary is considerably more appealing to me than an online diary.

So I'd wait till I'm certain I'll be able to have my privacy before writing.

Start blogging if you don't mind having an online diary!

If you wish to wait to write in a physical book, you can either notify your family and friends that you don't want them to read it or hide it.
