I think most Americans just object to extra vowels in their words. were just lazy. I was pretty surprised (note: no 'ZEE') when sulphur changed to 'sulfa' and foetus change to 'fetus' in the US. I think the quote above is justified!

Checked FOLDER, and it is set on OPEN but C: still opens command window. Below is the Folder class from Win98, but it matches my Win2000 exactly... I suggest opening Regedit & comparing with yours & fixing if necessary BACK IT UP FIRST My guess is that you've somehow got 'command.com' in yours instead of 'explorer.exe' a

I think you still have to look in the Folder class... The 'Drive' seems to be a subset of 'Folder' with only the extra commands needed to make it particular to that class. Similarly with the 'Directory' class. i.e 'Drive' and "Directory' are 'children' of 'Folder' (my programmer days are waaay long in the past but this it how it looks to me). The commands not listed in the 'children' are passed up to the 'parent' (Folder) to handle. On my system (where the dr

Hmmm... it sounds similar. It's still possible the HKEY_CALSSES_ROOT\Folder class is mangled a little bit... What do you get if you look in Control Panel->Folder Options->File Types->Folder & click on "Advanced"? You should see (possibly) among others 'Explore' and/or 'Open'. If 'Open' is there and not shown in bold (means it's the default) then highlight it with the mouse then click on "Set as Default". In all cases I'm speaking from a Win2000 perspective. YMMV if you

by Meyend Tripp - 12/7/2003 10:37:57 PM When I click on my C drive, the first option is not OPEN it is SEARCH Do you mean the 'open' option is missing completely? This happened to me a long time ago through uninstalling the Stardock Object Zip utility. IIRC it also occurred with other Stardock apps. It was sorted by GreenReaper who had

Thread hijack alert (sort of ) I've recently found that SDMCP.EXE is causing my DELL 2650 laptop to hang up at the point where the startment/startup files are loading. It gets as far as showing my desktop icons & the startbar (containing BANDVWM but no icon tray) but that's where it stops with the hourglass always showing. I can Ctrl-Alt-Del to taskmangler & kill SDMCP after which the

Are you talking about seeing the margin in the final hardcopy (printout) or just while you're editing? If it's the last then tick the 'Text Boundaries' checkbox in the 'Print & Web layout options' group of the Tools->Options->View dialog. It gives you a fine dotted line, not a grey line. This is for Word/Office 2000, dunno about earlier/later versions. HTH <img src="http://image

"Snap to Grid" is your friend & also the "Zoom" setting! I also tick "Highlight Meters" so you get an idea of the limits of the field you're playing with. Sure, it takes some fiddling, but as someone else said it's very addictive <A HREF="https://www.wincustomize.com/index.asp?Cm
