Clouseau... Well it's not undocumented, but it's relatively hard to find. It has to do with the annoying behavior of Windows Explorer, (beginning with Windows 2000, and carried into Windows XP), to open to My Documents, rather than the C drive, as it did in Windows 98. This can be happily remedied by altering the shortcut to Windows Explorer so that the 'target' path reads: %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n, /e, c:\ ...and the 'Start in' box reads: %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH% If this particular trick doesn't tickle your fancy, just let me know in a clarification, and I'll be happy to proffer another. Happy computing!!! sublime1-ga |

clouseau, I have WIN2K runnning in dual boot with Linux. A nice trick I just discovered has to do with Windows Explorer: If you open Explore, you will see a sundial icon near the top... If you click on the sundial icon, you will be able to explore your "History", that is documents viewed, including Web pages, *.txt or *.pdf documents, all conveniently arranged in categories: "Today", "Yesterday", and so on. That way you can easily return to a Web page or file you viewed yesterday. David |
