UPX - the Ultimate Packer for eXecutables
Originally published on my old blog at cumps.be on May 8, 2004.
A tool I used a lot on my .exe’s when creating VB6 applications is UPX (which stands for the Ultimate Packer for eXecutables).
This is a very valuable .exe that you can just drag-drop your .exe’s on and it’ll compact them (and make it a bit harder for newbies to decompile your program).
Of course there are Unpackers for the people who really want to decompile your application, but you can at least enjoy the compression that UPX does. I used it on my last project file and it went from 208KB to 77KB.
I used the upx 1.24 windows console version.

Re-Enable user:pass@ IE functionality.
On one side you want to keep your machine up to date with all latest patches, but then there is "Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (832894)", which disables the user:pass@ way of authentication. Now, do you update and loose this functionality (which can be handy), or don't apply it but have the other security it fixes unpatched?
