Why this ?!

**eXTREME2002** · February 5th, 2004, 04:31 AM

I have got these info after i allowed a site 2 scan 4 privacy leaks of my PC:

CPU type: x86
Screen Width: 1024
Screen Height: 768
Screen Available Width: 1024
Screen Available Height: 738
Screen Color Depth: 32

I wanna ask: why the screen available height(738)is different from the Screen Height (768) ??? coz that means i am not making use of a part of my Screen's height :finger

First: what do you mean by, and why would you let a site "scan" your computer. It probably installed a bunch of adware in the process.

Second: why do you trust the results.

Third: I have never heard of a Screen Available attribute to a display, but my guess that all the Screen Available attributes have to do with the amount of screen space that the browser has available to use for display of the webpage.

it's because the taskbar is 30 pixels high :)
