    Old WP files - Lotus "lwp" - any way to open?

    I have 3 old (very old) Lotus word processing files (extension is .lwp) that I would like to open and save as something that can be opened in MS Word. The files have only sentimental value. Can anyone suggest a conversion program or some other way to accomplish saving these files? Thanks! John

    Cannot delete or rename some psd & jpeg files

    Ah ha! That sounds like a real possibility. I've never used Disk Cleanup. Looked at it (or something similar) when I was using Win Me but did not use it as I got the impression that it was looking to free up disk space by removing lots of "unneeded" files including jpegs, etc. I was not sure...

    Can someone please refresh my memory on the html code and timing string that will automatically redirect a user to another page on the site? I used it once several years ago but that page is long gone and all I can find now are Javascript redirects which I do not understand. Thanks, John
