I liked Windows 3.1
-
hee hee hee. But seriously, I liked being able to organize icons (as in, shortcuts--remember those PIF files) into groups, which were really windows, instead of having them scattered all around my desktop. Yes, I can organize them into groups on my desktop, but I want to be able to collectively get rid of groups that I'm not going to use for the work I'm currently doing. I've tried those "multiple desktop" apps, but I don't like them. Is there anything like this for the "modern" Windows OS's? Marc Obviously it is not all Muslims. Just like all VB programmers are not bad...both groups tend to cause trouble, get excited and do stupid things. -- Paul Watson
Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.Just create a folder on your desktop and put shortcuts in them :rolleyes: Would you like to meet my teddy bear ?

Yes, but then I just have a collection of folders, and I have to open them whenever I start Windows (did I mention that there are some I'd like to have open all the time?), and it also comes with all that other baggage: menus, address bar, etc., which I can turn off, but then stupid XP sets all my folders to this style, even WHEN I DON'T SELECT "Apply To All Folders". :mad: Argh!

But when I drag a shortcut into the group, it complains about a missing .lnk and displays a stupid "MS DOS" icon! Marc Obviously it is not all Muslims.

Buy a copy of VMWare and you can install an old 3.1 system and submit yourself to untold hours of weepy-eyed nostalgia!

Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.Its probably using Win3.1 .pif files instead of shortcuts. Its trying to create a pif out of the .lnk (shortcut) and there is no program associated. Try dragging the actual exe.

Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.Use ActiveDesktop. My desktop is a series of framed HTML files and scripts; I don't have a single fugly 32x32 icon. If you're creative and artsy, you could make a *really* wicked desktop. Anything you can do in IE, you can embed on your desktop. Heck, you could implent your own file browser (a la Windows Explorer)...or use any automation-compatible COM object.

Trumpet Winsock!!!! That takes me back... he could always go for 3.11 and use the original MS TCP/IP stack... :-D I have a copy of 3.11 on floppies (all 9 of them).
