Folks, After 5 years I finally had the finances to upgrade from an AMD K6-2 running Win98SE to a 3GHz Intel, 1Gig Ram and running XP Pro (got it Friday) so I am an XP newbie. I've searched through this forum, the net and XP's Help File but I haven't found the answer. Q: I like to have a...

Folks, On my homepage I have a javascript that displays the current time. Up until two days ago the script has been working correctly. Now when I launch IE6, the script is now using an incorrect font. For some reason the script displays a special font (that I installed months ago) that...

BeenThere........ That worked, thanks a bunch. Couldn't believe how easy it was, but then I don't use IE that much so didn't know it's array of options. Got the file I wanted - thanks again. Dave

Folks, I'm trying to download some very large files (linux OS for my nephew). I have plenty of free space on one of my partitions. However, the files are being sent to my C Drive first and I am running out of space before the download is complete. Can I change the location where...

Folks, Is it possible to format cell height and width based on inches. It looks like it's based on picas. I have searched Excel's Help as well as on this forum, but no luck (or else I missed it). I would like to be able to make a cell (as an example) .25 inches high by 1.45 inches wide...

OK, first of all I admit, it's partially my fault. I went to MS upgrade center, upgraded to IE6 and at the end of the process got a message saying something about a newer version of a .dll file (filename given) was overwrote by an older version. (Why would MS overwrite a newer file in the...

Bruce (roamer1), Your tip on using Find did the trick - and it's so obvious - once I read it. Thanks, Dave

Ooooops!! I worded my question incorrectly. I want to delete only a certain type of file from the "top" level folder and that same type of file from any subfolders (NOT the subfolders themselves). Sorry for not being exact. And, no, gargouille, I'm not averse to DOS commands, it's...

Folks, Are there any file deleting utilities available that will let me delete files from a folder and all subfolders at once? eg., Say I want to delete all files like fil*.ht* from "MyTopLevelFolder" and all the subfolders underneath it. Any assistance is appreciated, Dave

Thanks for the replies. I'm sorry that I forgot to include that I use Eudora Pro 5.1 as my email client. That bit of info may or may not have been useful. Thanks JRB for the tip on "setbrowser" from nonags. As many times as I've frequented that site I'm surprised that I haven't...

Folks, I have Netscape 4.79 set as my default browser. I subscribe to a number of daily email computer tips, etc. Here's the problem. On a few of the email newsletters, like ZD's Anchor Desk, when there are links to websites, if I click on them, Internet Explorer is launched...

Folks, Is there any way of making 4.79 my default browser without uninstalling and re-installing it again? If this has been previously answered, point me to those replies. I did a keyword search, but only came up with how to make IE the default. Thanks for your time and appreciate any...

I installed Communicator 4.8 and when I go into Prefeences, the program locks up on me. I uninstalled 4.8 and went back to 4.79. I'm getting the same hang up, though 4.79 worked fine before I upgraded to 4.8. I have run Norton WinDoctor to see if something was amiss, but the system is coming...

Folks, I have just spent a few hours downloading every update for Office 2000. I was hoping that one of the updates would allow me to save the options for Autosave in Excel. As you may know, the default setting is to save every 10 minutes. Every time I open Excel I have to change the...

Geoff, Thanks for the tip on using the help file - will definitely be a benfit. A.C. I appreciate your code using the intersect object and your advice on app events. Thanks again, Dave
