The all new Windows newsgroup... 8^) OT! Now, on my other PC, "ver" doesn't report the DOS version as ME. I did install service pack 1 (After adjusting my activation code!) so maybe something changed, but I would have sworn that "ver" reported ME before. Mayne not. I didn't know XP had file name completion. Can I enable that by default? (I have a XP question that I will refrain from asking.)
As for XP. I don't think XP is using ME's version of DOS. The main reason why I think this is that ME is still just 9x with a whole crap load of the 16bit code chopped out making it even less stable than any other Windows 9x OS. Thus making it just another version of DOS with a GUI pasted on to it. That and XP still has the ability to run NetSH.exe. Which is definately your friend. If you'd like to tell Windows to shut the $!@# up, turn it into a router or firewall, that would be the program to run. >A3. Yeah, it seems that *.* is not the same as just * as it is for >Linux. What about "dir *.*.bak"? I'll have to try it some time under >XP. (XP seems to be using Windows ME's version of DOS.) _________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.netisland.net/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.netisland.net/mailman/listinfo/plug
