your welcome. You may also save a little on resouces. It probably uses less memory to open a new tab, then a whole new instance of firefox(but I am just guessing)

I just installed monad, the beta release of windows new shell. It is pretty cool. It seems to base a lot of its command similar to linux ones. it used the same commands and syntax to copy, remove, rename files the linux uses.

the best part of tabbed brwsing is using the middle click mouse button to open links in a new tab. you can open a new tab by typing <ctrl> T

I did not mess with any settings like that.

when you follow a link, you just open a new window? I go crazy the few times I have to use IE without tabs. join the 21 century USE TABS :-)

I prefer to spend my time learning linux, but spend a fair amount of time using windows. I use windows to rip dvds and then to convert them to mpeg4. I can do this on linux, but dvdrip and nero recode do a great job at it. As to the nero recode it is not working properly, it just started to make my mpeg4's fuzzy(this coninsides with a reinstall of windows). So I am using linux for my video needs for the moment. I will probably be spending more time with windows, I just put downpayment of $450 for a yellow pages ad. As of next january I will be getting service calls for nearly all windows machi

all of my folders in the my documents section lost there sharing tab for a while. It eventuaully came back. I had one folder already shared, but could not unshare it because of the missing tab. After screwing around with stuff for a while, the sharing tab reapeared. What would casue this strange behavior?

A link(shortcut in windows) should work nice. I can just link to a differnt drive. Now I can move stuff on my desktop into my second harddrive seamlessly. Thanks :-) Using linux, I automatically would have thought to use a link, but using windows, it did not even think to do that.

:-) I only smile because I have wrecked many of my linux systems by doing what you did. The space was definately the problem. Yesterday I formatted the wrong windows drive by mistyping something(doing it using knoppix). I ended up formatting my main windows drive.

I currently have my "My Documents" linked to my second hard drive. By right-clicking on "My Documents" it gives you the option to change the target(which is E:\ for me). Is it possible to make a folder on my desttop, and change the target on that? I would like to link that foldet to something other then my C drive.

I am just guessing here, not real familiar with ms dos. this command type del /s /q * it would delete all files, where the bottom command will just delete files temp files that end with .tmp type del /s /q *.tmp maybe you mistyped it sorry about what happened. I tell my wife to constantly back her stuff up, because eventually I will screw somthing up(which happended yesterday)

have any of you guys tried it yet, or plan to?

iccaros seems like a really busy guy. I would guess he is going about 100 difffernt things in his lfe. I am sure he will be back.

Another thing few good things about python. Programs written in python will run on windodws, unix, mac, and linux. Python is open source, so it is free. Python is very versitile. This link somes up pythons strenghts http://www.python.org/doc/essays/omg-darpa-mcc-position.html

I was just wanting to look at my disk partitions, so I ran cfdisk. I did not do anything else with it.

I think i must have done something dumb. looking at my history, it shows I was cleaning stuff out of my home directory, I had some stuff owned by root, so I was running as root. if you notice the command fileclean, that was that for statment I was using to delete all non directorys. Here is where my histroy must have gotten deleted mainbox root # history 1 cfdisk 2 fileclean 3 ls /home/shane 4 ls 5 nano /home/shane/bin/fileclean 6 fileclean 7 ls /home/shane 8 fileclean 9 ls 10 rm -rf {7,bash*,clean,elec*newfi*,pad*,pass*,phone*,soprano*,test/*,

I'm a "linux expert"(kinda) , but am not really sure where to start looking. I did run this command, 'last' to show last logins. I did not see anything like a remote login.

I noticed my root bash history is only 68 lines, it used to be 500. My first reaction was it has been deleted(and not by me) edit added later// I accidently ran this script in my root home directory, but this should not have deleted any hidden files for i in *; do if [ -f $i ]; then echo $i; fi; done

from my understanding of monad, eventually a person will be able to manage there whole windows system from a command line. I am still having trouble grasping what it does. Is monad similar to bash, in the sence it is a powerful scripting language, but with oop built in.

wow, it does sound pretty neat.

thanks you for the link :-)

I googled, but did not find any info on it

the more I program, the more I think, I am out of my element. I can write only the most juvenelle of programs. Maybe in a year or two that will change :-) I need to keep it in perspective. My advice is to just have fun with it. If you are not enjoying it you will have no desire to learn. I would reccomend learning an easy language. Python would be my choice, its what I am learning now, it seems to teach good habits, like proper indenting. If you can master python, you will have the basic understanding to learn any language. They all seem to be more alike then differnt. This is the book I am s

is the new shell officially going to be in vista?

batch(what ever it is called) just sucks. I don't really have anything facts to back that up with, but it fealt good to say :-)
