But this time the windows did not start up at all. what it does is, that I log in to one of the user's account and that's it. the account is not loading completely, it just freezes, doesn't let me do anything. the icons in the taskbar (bottom right corner of the screen, right next to time) do not even show up, and it just freezes.

When I open the task manager it shows only one application, which is called "Maximizer startup" and its status is "not responding"...

what is going on? help... Smilie

Sometimes antivirus software is installed to scan you hard drive etc at startup. Often, this causes a machine to lock up. When you installed the A/V software, I may have installed itself (or asked you and you said yes) to scan at boot time.

I don't recommend this, as I have seen many Windows boxes lock up when they have viral problems and the machine boots with A/V software.

feed2imap-cleaner

feed2imap-cleaner(1)					      General Commands Manual					      feed2imap-cleaner(1)

NAME

       feed2imap-cleaner - Removes old items from IMAP folders

SYNOPSIS

       feed2imap-cleaner [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       feed2imap-cleaner  deletes  old	items  from  IMAP  folders  specified in the configuration file. The actual query string used to determine
       whether an item is old is : "SEEN NOT FLAGGED BEFORE (3 days ago)". Which means that an item WON'T be deleted if it satisfies  one  of  the
       following conditions :

       o It isn't 3 days old ;

       o It hasn't been read yet ;

       o It is flagged (marked as Important, for example).

       -d, --dry-run
	 Don't remove anything, but show what would be removed if run without this option.

       -f, --config file
	 Use another config file (~/.feed2imaprc is the default).

BUGS

       Deletion criterias should probably be more configurable.
