    Well, you see, I've been using my good ol' comp since the days of Win95. Unfortunately, now with WinME, my system folder is still called Win95. I was thinking of simply renaming the folder to WINDOWS, but realized how risky that might be. Anyone have any tips for me to change the folder name AND avoid shortcut problems etc.?


    Everyone welcome the NewbiE!!!! First Programmer: "How many bits are in a bite?" Second Programmer: "You spelled bytes wrong." First Programmer: *stares* "It's a joke, moron." Second Programmer: "Joke...?"

      you could try changing the %SystemRoot% variable at startup. This way windows programs would not be missing much i think. .lnk shortcuts will have to be updated though. .NET or not .NET? MFC is the question......
