Naming is hard Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Those help files can be huge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blim Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Well, I didn't understand a lot of it, but I'm impressed!! Naming is right, if you don't need the help files (and I know you don't!) might as well throw 'em out.Liz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bearskin Posted August 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 now I do realize that most people( 99%) don't like winme....well I am wondering what could be wrong? I have reinstalled winme twice in the last 5 1/2 years. once because I wanted to....once last month when my hard drive bit the dust. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
