I know that. I guess I just wasn't thinking. Thanks for the reminder.

Is there a way to change the order in which directories are displayed (non alphabetical)so that I can access a directory beginning with "v" for example without having to scroll? I realize that I could rename it but that is a bad solution and would undo a lot of links. This directory falls under...

I use Outlook Web Access. Is there a way to select more than one attachment at a time. I use a satellite connection from lots of remote areas and it can be cumbersome at times to keep attaching individual attachments one at a time when they are all in the same folder. I guess the question is can...

It doesn't matter who I let manage the connection (windows or IBM software), WPA does not come up as an option. I generally use Thinkvantage Access Connection sotware to manage dozens of profiles as I travel a lot. This is the first occasion that I need to connect to a WPA enabled network...

I have thinkpad A30 with XP Pro SP 2 and need to connect to a WPA enabled wireless connection but WPA does not show up as an option in either the wireless networking properties or the properties of Thinkvantage Access Connections when I use it to manage the connections. All firmware, drivers...

I decided to compress only the music directory. It was 18 Gb before I did and exactly the same after. If I copy a file (they are basically all MP3s) to an uncompressed directory, it is the same size. There was absolutely no space saving by compressing. I have copied spreadsheets, documents, and...

I am very close to running out of disk space on an IBM XP laptop (36 Gb, NTFS). I travel for work and use it for business. Because I am gone for extended periods, I decided to rip my entire CD collection to MP3s. Can anyone comment on any problems I might encounter if I compress this volume...

It took about 12 minutes and went without a hitch.

I appreciate the input. I will be in a few hours early but doing the conversion at the end of the day is not a good option for me as I finish my day long before the users that access this info are finished and I live a couple of hours away. I thought it would take a relatively short time but...

I have a win 2000 server with 25 GB of an 80 GB drive used. 1.5 Gb of RAM. I need to convert to ntfs. My question is approximately how long will it take? I have not had occasion to do this conversion before so I just need to know if I can come in an hour early or should I be prepared for an...

Thanx Marv. You have helped me out many times in the past.

It has been a while since I needed to view user space usage to determine who may be using way more disk space than needed. I used NWadmin to look at volume properties of a Netware 4 server. You could specify a user or all users in an OU and view their current usage. I believe that I could...

The following line will work for NT/2000/XP to map a user's S: to a directory bearing the same name as their logon ID. @net use S: \\servername\sharename\data\users\%username% I run into two problems when I attempt to accomplish the same thing with a win98 computer (we still have 40 or so). I...

Windows XP Pro with SP2 and Office 97. When trying to print from Photo Editor, it comes up with the aggravating error "Microsoft Photo Editor has encountered a problem and needs to close". I can find many instances of this error on forums and chat areas but no solutions. Does anyone have any...
