Hi all; No comments about my Win98 use please! I use single-click for my mouse, and I know there's a way to adjust the delay between hovering the mouse over a folder, and it being selected. I can't, however, remember where the registry setting for this is, and internet searching has become...

Hi guys. I'm running an old PC (Win98SE) which acts as a peer to peer communal file dump/server for the people in my house. More out of interest than necessity really, but is there any way to stop the Win98 GUI from loading (thus saving some resources) but still have full functionality from the...

Hi guys, I'm wondering if there is any reasonably simple way to cause a peer to peer 98 box, used as a communal file store, to create a plain text list of accessed files with time/date? Is there any utility available for 98 to do this, or any commercial software available? I don't need or want...

I dunno. I know my spelling and grammar is somewhat short of perfect, but at least I do try to improve when certain shortcomings are pointed out to me. So how is it that a professionally made sign located in a public toilet sported the legend: "Please wash your hand's"? That would be a sacking...

That's the question - How to allow an image to move behind text? My scenario: I wish to have a page with a centred heading logo (in a DIV), with images positioned absolute far top left & far top right. (To give you an idea, the outer images will be coloured light beams shining in from the outer...

Regarding a home network: Some folders require passwords for full read/write access (for privacy reasons), and any particular computer could be used by any members of the family. So far, so good. When accessing one of these folders you are prompted to type in the password, but there is also a...

I've searched around, but haven't found what I'm looking for, so now over to the brains on here. I'm using a junk-clearing batch file on a number of WIN98 machines, and one of the (optional) menial tasks is to clear out the autocomplete data from the registry. I currently do this by using a...

My understanding was that having links to external sites on a web page divided down any page rank you might have, and as such was a disadvantage as far as rating was concerned. Is this (still) correct? Would it be better for ranking if any useful sites that the author felt would be useful to...

Gentlemen, Firstly, DOS batch files aren't my stong point, so bear with me! I have set up a batch file which can be executed from the desktop to automate the back-up a number of folders in various locations on the C: partition to another, safer location, for when I replace an image of C:, which...

I have been given some floppy disks which are quite old, but before testing/formatting had a check to see what was on them. Lucky I did, as the contents concern some research the person was doing many years ago, ans she no longer has a computer. I'm thinking she might want the data saved, but...

The problem: I wish to have text positioned on the page, but for the background pattern to be visible beneath the text. No problem as I simply don't stipulate a background-color in the CSS, thus: ____________________________ p.line1 { text-indent:0em; text-align:center; font-size:30pt...

Not exactly a matter of life or death, but I'd appreciate being educated if someone has the time: (WIN98SE} Upon boot-up, the screen would display a line from AUTOEXEC.BAT regarding the sucessful loading of a DOS sound driver. I rem'd out the line and it no longer seemed to load but then...

As this relates to WIN98SE, I'm hoping this is the correct place....... I use a simple batch file to keep certain junk files generated by certain software under control on the computers I supervise. It has become apparent that people are being lazy and executing the batch files from within...

Just a shot in the dark with this one: 13 Gb drive, partitioned into 3 partitions. First we got a blue screen a few times saying specifically that there had been a write error to drive D. (Where the swap file was.) Following day system failed to boot, and just hung at an early stage. I...

I'm assuming this would be the appropriate forum for this. I usually browse with all ActiveX controls disabled for added security - I simply don't need the functions for where I usually go, and I don't trust all web page designers to use these controls in the 'correct' manner. Maybe I'm...

I'm writing a batch file to back up the contents of an e-mail client's mail folder, and during testing I noticed that any zero byte files within the folder weren't copied. It doesn't actually matter, but it raises an interesting question: Is it possible to successfully copy zero byte files to...

Not quite a helpful tip, but not really a question either..... Recently, I've suffered my win98se system going through seemingly random reboots, and the only change I'd made to my system immediately before that was to do an overlay of Acrobat Reader 5.0, in order to replace some plugins I'd...

Please forgive my lack of knowledge about CSS, but I'm trying to position two separate columns of text of differing widths side by side on a page using CSS rather than tables, and can't find the information I need to do it. I've tried specifying margin-left and right for either <div>s or <p>s...

A need has arisen to create a moving image across the page, and the only way I know of to do this is by using the marquee element. This is less than ideal, as it is not cross-browser compatible. Is there any way to do this using CSS for compatability, or am I limited to using JavaScript...

Bear with me, I'm trying to learn HTML and have written some pages partly by way of practice, and the following bit of code is an extract from this page: http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/andyspatch/index.htm (No remarks are necessary regarding the content, thanks!) Here is the troublesome code: <p...
