If I could ask for one feature in Windows 9x...

[A Black Falcon]

*cough*

Now that's one feature Windows actually COULD use from Macs... why copy a bunch of useless or stupid stuff like a prettier interface and more Maclike design (which I don't want in Windows!) but not actual useful stuff like this...

I bet Linux has it too. It's too useful a feature to leave out... :)

Well, I sort of skipped over all of the posts after ABFs original so I missed out on the DOS conversion. There is a version of DOSBox for OS X, though, so I can play as many old DOS games as you guys can.

Not quite true, there are some DOS games that either run horribly in DOSBox or don't run at all, while on this computer I can run any DOS game natively that doesn't have speed issues... and many of those can be fixed with MoSlo (not all, some REALLY old ones still don't work even at 1% speed, but most.). :)

... but that's the one main advantage of having a true DOS-based OS over NT-core systems. I mean, it's not that Windows doesn't have the feature -- it's just only in the Properties dialog box, not on the Windows Explorer view. Which is really annoying, as I said. :)

I'd suggest a few extra tools if you need to remove dead links from the uninstall list. I THINK Tweakui lets you do it, but there are better tweaking tools out there.

You're right, TweakUI does (and I have it), but why go through that hassle when it's easier to just use the program's uninstall link?

If you have a lot of MP3s, store them in one MASSIVE folder without even caring to properly rename the stuff you ripped off CDs so it's all just "disktrack01" and such. That's what I do.

I've seen such folders, they are scary... every one goes in its own subfolder (folders for categories like 'downloaded game soundtracks', 'ripped PSX soundtracks', 'pc game soundtracks copied off the cd', etc, with subfolders for each game. The playlist files, though, go in each main category folder, so I don't have to open the subfolders to get to the playlists, just the main category folders.) ! It's the only way to keep anything organized! One giant list... ack... even if it IS in some kind or order (with extremely detailed ID3 tags or something), it'd be so big that it'd be impossible to deal with!

Oh yes, and is it really so wrong to have several hundred demos installed on your system all at once? So I've never played a third of them and haven't played most of the rest in years... so? :D
