To one and all, Well, I am getting to realize that I just dont know these days where a LOT of the common locations where you set values in Win98 are in XP - for example, I could instantly tell you how to set all file extensions to be hid or displayed in 98, how to turn on or off all hidden or system files, and a LOT of other system settings.
And after looking at my reference books for XP, I get to think a lot of the authors seem to almost assume that you know exactly what to look under in the index or table of content to find these values (this is what I bought this book for??? - to be frustrated???) By the way, we are talking XP Pro in this case. I have gotten to know where a number of things are located but I sure have discovered I just dont know these days where in the world MS hid them at now in many cases. And trying to find information on a lot of these topics on MS's web site of tech info is sometimes a total experience in frustration as well - put in the phrase which should give at least 1 answer gives a grand total of Null and Void. Or you get 100 articles back, none of which have the answer you originally were looking for (what in the world are they using for their search engine drivers???) So WHERE in the world is the best source of some of those most fundamental setting questions that I used to get in a snap of the fingers in 98 but seem to be totally dogging me in XP (trying to find the same stuff in 2000 is also the same kind of hair pulling exercise I have found as well.)
