Salutations, >[File Naming in Win95] >The problems with file extensions could be happening because the "Hide MS-DOS extensions >for registered file types" option is enabled. When it is enabled, Windows 95 won't let >you change the file extension when it is not shown (I'm just guessing, maybe that's not >the problem). No, I can see the extensions (at least in the save dialoge box). >You can find this option in the 'Options' dialog box that can be accessed >from the Windows Explorer 'View' menu. Actually this wouldn't help me much anyway because I am using a college "lab" computer for my email (I'm not connected at home) and these computers here have a lot of security features including the inabillity to save options even though the defaults are really annoying. >About the Wordpad thing, I found out that when you use an extension that is registered (such as .bmp), >it doesn't write ".txt" or ".doc" after it, otherwise it does. Really useful feature, >isn't it? >Talking about Wordpad, does anyone know why it won't allow you to open an executable? I think that's another "security feature" for copyrighted material. >BTW [2], this is my first post to this list, so please don't hit me too hard if I said >something wrong... Don't worry, it's really not that easy to say something wrong. Ralf just makes it seem that way. ;) JK Sincerely, Lewis Townsend |\ ____ _ _ _ _ __ | \ | __/ || / | // || / __ \ | \ ||_ || //|| // || ||__\| | \ | _| || // || // || \___ \ | |\ \ ||__ ||// ||// || |\__|| | | \ \|___\ |_/ |_/ || \____/ | | \ \ _____ _______ | | \ \ | __ \ | _ _ | | | \ \ ||__|| |/ | | \| | | \ \ | __ / | | | |______\ \ || \\ | | |___________\ || || |_| Keroltarr at hotmail.com ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
