I found a free javascript search engine to use on a small site (typically less than 100 pages) at tipue.com. This is a very straightforward search engine and very simple to use. The only problem is that is does not come with a program to manage the data file which contains the search indices, keywords and document paths. So, I created a small VB program to manage the data in the text file (not...

I managed to achieve some of the tasks such as disabling Ctrl+Alt+Del and in win95, the app would hide away from the task manager.
