Health Supplements you should be taking

Hello once again! Here is a list of supplements you should likely be taking. Note that this is not medical advice, and some supplements are tolerated better by some people than others due to health / genetic factors. Generally, taking excessive amounts of supplements do not increase benefits, so stick to reasonable dosages. There is some variation between male and female in terms of requirements, I'm more familiar with male physiology and supplementing. There are some supplements I will mention that are not OTC, or are special prescription, which I may or may not take myself, and are not freely available. These supplement types are generally more expensive and less accessible, but I will discuss them also. Ideally you would start supplementing in your mid to late 20's. Most people only discover vitamins/supplements later in life when they begin to feel run-down, and by that point a lot of 'damage' has already been done to your body, which is accelerated with life...

Display Properties Missing Screensaver Tab

A Windows XP Home machine presented today without the screen saver tab under Display Properties. This was probably the result of a spyware infection that had altered the screensaver to probably promote rogue anti-spyware, prompting the user to buy.

It turns out that the NoDispScrSavPage REG_DWORD value was set to "1" under:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

This value was set back to "0". This does not require a reboot, bringing up the Display Properties once the registry change is made (and preferably close the registry editor first) will make this live immediately, restoring the Screen Saver tab.

This value is not accessible under XP Home via "gpedit.msc" as you don't get that under XP Home normally, it has to be done through the registry editor, and I'm doubtful that it's accessible using "mmc".
