okay YoKenny I haven’t used File Manager for years.
I’ll spend a bit of time on this but unfortunately no Vista in the house at the moment (its Sunday). Never mind. Good directiion, I will see what I can make do with this option. Thank you.
You have not looked what is on your hard drive in years ???
No it is not that at all - of course I am aware of what is on any of my computers at any time.
I made an error - I put yr C: in the Firefox browser by mistake and I got the interface below (first screenshot), which I took to be an MS File Manager I knew from a few years ago. But no, this is the Firefox or Google File Manager, and that is where I had seen it before. I haven’t had time to use it. Firefox, I think.
Put C: in IE address area and you get same old Local Disk(C:) - I don’t get it! what did that achieve.
With Comptia we learned to use Computer management (second screenshot) - Services is easily accessible.
I get the C: drive in File Manager and not in IE.
It achieves the fact that Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer use the same GUI.
maybe ur rite - but i like 2 thrust it more than any comercial product, always trying 2 know what ur doing. don’t get me wrong, u also have 2 change some defaults in ff, but whats makes the difference, is that you can!! do that. (knowing what 2 do)
ff +bp +ns +abp +cs lite +qp +jd
asyn
I didn’t see the post before YoKenny.
Is that windows 7?
Its got the softer web 2.0 look like Vista I bet its not as hard though.
my c drive is very plain - but I never go there through the browser, only through local system
And on I that computer I use Firefox
- mostly I try to bare down IE and then mosts things run well on XP anway
- I do run a lot of optional Windows updates, but I hardly use any components unless I have too
IE is second option, and with either Bing or Google as home page.
I think IE is too top heavy to run as default in XP except perhaps in network setting.
I do not see how much RAM the system has in the signature.
Your XP system is a lot different from mine and I would never store anything in the root of the C: drive especially Registration Entries and IMG files.
IMG files belong in My Pictures Folder and I put Registration Entries in a Downloads Folder.
I used Icons to display not Thumbnails.
yes, nice, very XP
my c drive sometimes collects stuff I have on priority, but not pressing enough for desktop
- the images are put there recently
registrations from ccleaner - these only small amounts of trash files in Registry scan for ages
I always try keep about 4 or 5 back and no more - for multi purposes quick restore of reg
never had to use these, I just cant say no when machine asks if I want a backup copy
Download and tmpdownload are temp storage for incoming from YouTubeMp3downloader
- I don’t know why two folders - the progam chose these location
- same with winfast tvtuner - GIF animator is there to remind me to start using it sometime
- what about my hosts folder - usual download to and run from here - comments?
I don’t know about that .rnd file I had a look once and decided it was okay so left it there
