Only thing I can think of would be getting a 3-ring binder and putting it all in there, keeping it near your desk/software. Not that I've done that, but it would probably work.

Yeah, my desk drawer holds a myriad of post-it notes with access IDs and passwords and install codes. There has to be a better way.

I think Goonie came up with a good suggestion! I think I will avail myself of this, it's a great idea!

Ideas and implementations are two different things. It all comes back to: what is the item that I can have that will ensure that I will be able to find it when I need it yet won't be in the way until then?

I need a permanent, non-destructible flash drive in my brain for these things.

Tattoo the information on your scrotum. You'll likely never ever lose it and only people you trust will ever see. . . oh wait, I forgot who I was talking to.

Never mind.

Oh bwahahaha

A helpful un-related tip: Spybot Search And Destroy is a great anti-virus protection for most PC . . jus google and download it for free.

Spybot is not an antivirus app. It's an anti spyware/adware app. It's still a valuable tool to have (as is Adaware), but it does not take the place of equally necessary virus protection (e.g. AVG or Norton).

..or Nod32 (or so my PC-using friends have told me).

I use both Spybot and Adaware, though the former seems to be more effective. Both are free.

Which reminds me: I am overdue for running these.

I love Adaware and AVGFree.

I used to use ZoneAlarm but a recent AVG update made it think ZoneAlarm was a virus.
