Go into folder options for any folder, set it the way you want it, and then click "Make all folders like this one" in the folder options dialogue window.

Windows Explorer has some default behaviors to help bring attention to different types of files.  For instance if you have enabled system / hidden files and folders to be visible then they will be shown in another color / italicized.\n\nI believe compressed files are automatically shown in another color (thought it was green though). \n\nYou can change you settings by clicking on the Tools menu and choosing Folder Options.  I don't think it lets you choose a color scheme though...  Just let's you change what type of content/information is showed.

First of all add a treeview form to your form... \n\nfrom there I recommend using the file system object to get the hard drives from the system and all all of them as nodes, then when a folder is clicked, make it a child node of the parent folder...ect.\n\nTry a yahoo search for information on the File System object and tree nodes if you do not have any practical examples.....\n\nthanks

I had this problem with windows 98SE, it seems to be directly related to the DLL hell that old legacy systems end up in after several years. All I can suggest are the basics, clean up your DLL files if you can, uninstall and reinstall the software (drivers) for your CD-Drive.\n\nThis is all I could dig up on the microsoft support site... I doubt it will help you at all, but it's worth trying if it lists anything you haven't already done.

You can, but it is alot more difficult in 98 then it is in xp as an administrator.\n\nyou can do it natively through the windows registry. for more information on how to do it., goto the webpage i posted below from Microsoft®. \n\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];q179221#kb1\n\nThere are also external software packages that will help do it for you. What it does is basically make it more user friendly, but is doing the same thing at the end of the day.

Windows XP and Windows 98 are significantly different. Windows XP is built over the Windows NT technology and has security features like folder secuity. The other one does not have it. The Windows XP natively have the NTFS file system support and by defualt use that for the file system. Windows 98 does not support NTFS. The UI has been significantly revamped with Windows XP with new start menu - new look and feel and more possibilities to customize.\n\nThere are a host of new features added to the XP:\n1. Plug and play USB devices support\n2. Multilingual support\n3. Remote assistance for computer problems\n4. Device Driver verifier / device driver rollback capability\n5. System Restore capability allows system to be brought back to a previous good configuration\n6. Reboot not necessary for all installs - necessity to reboot  has been reduced significantly.\n\n\nHere is a comparison chart:\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/home/evaluation/whyupgrade/featurecomp.mspx

Not knowing what version of Windows you are using. Explorer uses IE to open up folders. that could be what you're seeing.

It's been a long time since I've used Windows 98, but these pages (in the Sources section) should be useful. \n\nGood luck!

Here's the Reader's Digest version of how to create a shortcut to your favorite program.\n\nLeft click on your background and choose New:Shortcut (you got that part already).  This should bring up a "wizard" that prompts you to browse for the program you want a shortcut to.  Find the .exe file you want the shortcut to and choose it.  Hit "Finish" and you're done.\n\nIf you've got an existing shortcut that you want to associate a file with, then right-click on the shortcut, and choose "Properties".  Type the full path to the desired *.exe file in the "Target" field.

Go to Favorites, then Organize favorites. There you can delete the ones you want, and organize by folder similar ones. Hopes this helps.

Start/ My Computer/ Local Disk/ Documents and Settings/Select folder that is your user name/ Favorites/ select a folder/ View/ List/ View/ Arrange icons by/ name That will put them in alphabetical order in the folder that you selected . You can do it with all of your sub-folders and even create new folders and drag and drop or cut and paste to get your folders set up the way that you like and rename the sub-folders.

it shouldn't be a problem. if you simply installed it twice, then the newer one should have overwritten the older one. if you can see 2 (c:&#92;windows, c:&#92;windows2) delete the smaller number one (the newer one will have a higher number.) Don't rename the 2nd one, because the paths have already been set.

You do not need a special program!\nFirst, on a drive other than C: if you can, create a Folder called MY DOCUMENTS.  In side of MY DOCUMENTS create the following folders,  Winword, Powerpnt, Excel, JPG, BIT, PDF, Scaned Data, CD Music.  None of these folders are inside of each other.  When you open MY DOCUMENTS you should see all of these folders.\n\nCopy all of you files to their new folders.\n\nSet each application to DEFAULT to the folder that you created.\n\nIn WORD, click on TOOLS, OPTIONS, File Locations.\nClick on Modify and change the default location to EXAMPLE:\n(Your new MY DOCUMENTS is on E:)  E:&#92;MY DOCUMENTS&#92;Winword\nClick OK.  Now copy all of your word documents to the winword folder.\n\nMake other folders inside of the winword folder for your different word projects.\n\nwhen you save a document give it a ID NAME  EX:  TOY child 1\nTOY child 2, TOY child 3\n\nComputer sort sequence is Space (no Character), 0 - 9 in number sequence, A - Z , a - z, special characters.\n\nthe file name 0 AAAaa.doc will be stored before AAAaa.doc\n\nAlways give your file a name that you will recognize two years from now.  NAME IT WHAT IT IS!   \n\nThe document named:   9 NOV 2006 MY Tools.doc  tells you exactly what kind of data is in that document without you opening it.

Folders with name: CON, PRN, AUX, CLOCK$, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, & LPT9\ncant be created using Windows Explorer or Command Prompt directly! ( Try this out.. right click on your desktop and try creating folder named "con"it changes back to "ew Folder" )\n\nThis is prevented as XP terms these folders as SYSTEM Folder Names reserved only for the Operating System.. But there is a backdoor..(this trick is to create system folders on XP through command prompt )\n\nTry this:\nCREATION\n\nSyntax:md &#92;&#92;.&#92;&#92;$path\nExample:prompt>md &#92;&#92;.&#92;&#92;C:&#92;con\nExplanation: This would create a folder named "con" on your "C Drive"\n\n\nSimilarly to delete such folder:\nDELETION\nSyntax:rd/s &#92;&#92;.&#92;&#92;$path\nExample:prompt>rd/s &#92;&#92;.&#92;&#92;C:&#92;con\nExplanation: This would remove the folder named "con"!\nNote: rd(Remove Directory) command is used with "/s" switch as otherwise it would give error that "folder is not empty"!\n\n\nOn another hand...if you ever wondered how to create a folder with no name...then try this:\n\nCreate a New Folder from Windows Explorer\nSelect rename & type: "ALT+255"(Use Numpad)..thats it!\nALT+255 stands for blank character in ASCII...so it still accepts your folder name!
