I found how to create a folder or file named CON , LPT1 , COM1 etc...\n\nSTEP1: goto command prompt\n\nSTEP2: type in prompt e:&#92;> "mkdir &#92;&#92;.&#92;e:&#92;con"\n\nSTEP3: verify by typing "dir &#92;&#92;.&#92;e:&#92;con"\n\nSTEP4: delete the file or folder "rmdir &#92;&#92;.&#92;e:&#92;con"

If you right click on the icon and go to Properties, one of the choices in the "Target" tab should be Move.  You should then get a box that asks where you'd like to store the folder, and you can choose whichever drive works best for you.

Well, here's my idea. Click on an empty space on your desktop. Then a bar pops up. Go to New>Folder. A new folder should appear on your desktop. Name it after an important category, and put the files here. Repeat as neccessary.

Right click the my computer icon and click computer name  and see if they are on the same workgroup name if they are different you can't But you can change the workgroup (so both are the same) name to make both the same thing then you have to right click the folder you want to share and go to sharing and security then share the folder on the network then you should be set...Thanks

CON in the windows command shell is the device handle for the console.  For instance, you can't create a folder or file named LPT1 or COM1 either since those are the device handles for the first parallel and serial ports.

Sort of, a filename is limited to 256 characters there is a limit to how many different filenames you cancreate with 256 characters. I don't think you should have a problem though.

I remember an application called microangelo that allowed you to create icons for desktop folders.  You could do the same with MS paint at maximum zoom but MicroAngelo has more features such as animation.\nThen you can set the icon in the shortcut properties.\n\nIf you want an easier way, just install a theme.

You mean like on your windows desktop when you open a folder and then click on something else it opens in a new window? Because if thats the case just open up any folder you have and click on tools/folder options/ and in the general tab click on "Open each folder in the same window"

If you right click on the folder and then go to properties, a dialogue box should pop up. Then click on "hide". You can still access the folder, but it's hidden.

It's already done. Double click on the desktop symbol "network environment" and select "Computers in your neighborhood". There you should find all computers connected to your local LAN. That symbol is similar like a drive symbol.\nThe only thing you have to do, is enable or "free" all that folders where you want have access to. Right click on a folder and select "Enable Folder"? or smth like that.\n\nP.S. sorry, i don't know the exact designations, i have a german OS.

You can copy a work. Then open a new folder and name it that word by pasting it. Is that what you mean?
