I was wondering about explorer versus Internet explorer, but felt too dumb to mention it.

i thought we were talking about IE
i still don't understand why anyone would need to run windows on a mac unless you just want to play games

you do realize that the program you are talking about is called Internet EXPLORER.app whereas the program i am talking about is called explorer.exe
they are two totally different things

Yes that's Internet Explorer for the Mac...completely different to the Explorer which oscillik was referring to. Explorer is the shell that all windows programs run in.

explorer.exe handles, as ednacniarb said, the whole GUI for Windows.
i'm probably wrong, but as far as i understand it even handles drawing of the window widgets and things too.

I've witnessed the same explorer behavior in every machine bearing win XP i've seen here. Maybe my mind is playing games with me or they sell us hicks crappy software or something, but since I can't control that I'll tell you that I wrote what I saw. I didn't speculate. So the whole speaking out of my ass comment was a bit presumptuous.

I never called anything I wrote a fact. They were more like questions that would help me make some sense out of the whole frustrating situation. I am sorry if I wasn't more clear but comments as harsh as wasting your time and all, just lead to no result. There is no point of coming in contact with people if you don't expect them to be ignorant some times.

well while we're getting all uppity over this, i don't even remember the first encounter that you mentioned
and for this encounter - why don't you actually find out about what a topic is about before you go spouting off about how "you can run explorer in Mac OS X!!!"
Explorer and Internet Explorer are two different things
granted, it's due to Microsoft that there is confusion, but if you're gonna contribute to a technical thread, make sure that you have the knowlegde to back up your statements
i'm sorry that your encounters with me have been bad. i can't really comment on the first encounter, because as i said i can't remember
but today has been a really bad day for me, so i'm more than a llittle pissed off when someone is telling me something that i know for a fact is wrong.
please accept my apologies for having a go at you
as said, i've had a bad day
i know that i shouldn't take things out on you, or anyone else on this board

I've told you in the past you type unnecessarily technical for what you are asking for. Most people would just equate explorer with IE, especially from a non-windows bckground. And when it comes to talking about computers you get uppity with people and condecending. Trust me there are people here who know at least 10 times what you and I know (well you at least)...

i was trying to renew the dynamic host configuration protocol lease on my internet protocol address so my transmission control protocol / internet protocol connection on my microsoft windows 98 second edition would work, but my integrated drive electronics hard drive (which is defined as a "master" on my basic input output system settings) had a cycle redundancy check error.

you're right - there are people who know more than i do about certain things to do with computers.
but i do know certain things that some people do not know.
you have a great wealth of knowledge, and you seem to have a wide range of platforms in your knowledge. you certainly know more about Windows than I do, but then again I've only really had experience with the DOS based Windows OS's. I'm new to the NT based ones, but I'm learning more and more as time goes on. But my main focus will be the alternative OS's because I like to know what can be done with the non-standard stuff.
I admit it - i can be a bastard. but it's not like i act like a bastard just for the sake of it. I get uppity about stuff only if i truly believe that what i know is right. if i am wrong, then i admit it, as i did when you corrected me on the difference between XP home and Pro.

ok, so tell me how to do this then...
when you run a program in Mac OS X, it appears in the Dock by default. How do you make it so that everytime you run the program, it is invisible in the Dock?

Well given that the OS X interface is built on a class based structure it is pretty fucking obvious that if you open a terminal window and type defaults write com.apple.Dock showhidden -bool yes it will do the trick...but hey you are a genius.

1) Why would you want to do that? 2) It's a platform specific interface 'tweak' not technical knowledge.

1) because you may have an application that you don't wan to appear in the dock, such as a system monitor that sits on your desktop, that you don't want taking up spacein the dock
2) i thought you said that i don't know something that other people do not?
regardless of whether or not it's platform specific, you said that you doubted i knew something that someone else does not.
i have just proved you wrong
unless you can come up with the answer, i DO know something that someone doesn't know
and you're the one who doesn't know it

1) personally I prefer to see all applications that are currently running but if you like that sort of thing good for you.
2) are you fucking stupid or something? Do I suddenly count as everyone? How the fuck did you interpret what I typed as "you know less than everyone" or "I know everything about everything"?
God you really are a tit.

1) well actually, dumb-nuts, you CAN see the program, because ITS SITTING RIGHT THERE ON YOUR DESKTOP BLINKING AWAY AND SHIT TELLING YOU THAT THE CPU IS AT 1% USAGE AND YOU'RE SENDING AND RECEIVING NETWORK TRAFFIC
2)
"There are other times I have held back from correcting you

in that statement, you are doubting that i know something that someone else would not know.
