plan.

You have helped me out so much, Chris, by doing this. If
there is anything i can do for you, please don't hesitate to
ask :)

If you're in windows then highlight the file you want to
change. PRess F2 then delete the 3 letters at the end after
the . and put the one I told you to.

eg:

monkeybollocks.dll

monkeybollocks.doc

:)

He might have to do:

Tools -> Folder Options -> View

and then untick "Hide file extensions for known file types"

That's a point. Why is that default? I hate that fucking
view.

cheers redum, i did need to do that

idea.

I think it's to clean up the desktop - I think you can see
the ".lnk" at the end of links on the desktop if it's not
ticked.

I have to say, I would've agreed with you 100% a year or two
ago but for some reason I've just grown accustomed to it
this way. The reason I posted was that I literally
rushed to see if F2 was some nifty shortcut that
would let you rename the whole fucking filename, regardless
of what view you're in, since having to do this every time
really pisses me off. Ah well. :)

You might do I suppose. I only have 2 icons on my desktop
anyway.

Recycle Bin
Temp

Ideally I'd have only the temp folder. I can't find out how
to remove the recycle bin from the desktop without it
vanishing from explorer as well. The only way I can think of
is to make a transparent icon and rename the recycle bin to
an ascii space. Then I'd be happy. I hate having a cluttered
desktop.

Right click - active desktop - show desktop items.

wow, crazy. I hate that start menu thing. *everything* goes
on the desktop. I must have about 50 icons on that mofo, in
order of creation and I can find things immediately.

Jar, sadly I don't have Active Desktop when I right click. I
don't know why. I used to on Win2K but on this XP machine
it's not there.

Redrum, I love having everything in one place.

I found that option under arrange icons now but I can't see
my temp folder only :s

I'm fussy. Unless of course I can make it a link on an
Active Desktop,

Jar, you've given me an idea mate!

YAR!

Strange you should say that, or perhaps not; this thread
almost spurred me on to create a "life is beautiful"
happy-clappy thread, simply from reading Murray's happy and
kind remarks. It makes a change from the usual derogatory
stuff -- which, I must admit, I do enjoy reading, once it's
amusing -- on this site.

"Fleetmouse you are a tonic" made me :D

It's just so friendly and helpy. And Murray, you seem so
kind:) don't know if this is what you're always like. Just
stood out a mile to me today.
Redrum get out, you're ruining it. :p xx

LET'S MAKE OUT

i try and be happy most of the time, but this act of
kindness made me implode. I do enjoy this thread, i do enjoy
this board.

I started hanging out on this other board full of
scenester kids. It was really fun for awhile but it's lost
it's charm. I started lurking here again and relaised:

1) no one's a jerk
2) everyone gets on fine (more or less)
3) people are interested in the same things as i am
4) it's not a shallow board
5) people are creative
6) people do this type of thing off their own back

how could i not love this board?
