"Open With..." issue by
Phil James
I sometimes get an icon on my desktop that is an "Open With..." shortcut
with a filename to open of "~".
(I call it "Open With..." It's a standard icon of a sheet of paper folded
over on one corner with a Windows symbol on the paper. When I right-click
it, the "Open With..." tool comes up. When...

"port capture" to a network printer by
Donald Campbell
A lot of printers now have a network port so that they can sit directly
on a LAN without the need of a PC.
I have these set up on Win98 and they work fine from Windows programs,
but not from DOS software.
Does anyone know how to print from a DOS program to a printer in this
fashion?

"RAM in use" meter by
PSRumbagh
Is there a program available that will display, in real time, the amount of
RAM (in MB) in use? It would be handy if the displayed amount appeared in
the System Tray and was active all of the time.

http://www.answersthatwork.com/Download_Area/ATW_Library/Windows
_Misc/Win___9-Incompatible_version_of_the_RPC_stub_error.pdf
It's a 2 page 70KB PDF file. The first page, explaining /why/
this happens is worth it even if you still use a 9600 modem.
Absolutely hilarious - yet, sad.

"save (As)" function comes and goes ... by
J. P. Gilliver
(Sory to those who've seen this before, but if there were any answers, I
missed them.)
I have two W98SElite systems: a 2.4G desktop, and a 450M laptop. On the
whole, the laptop is much more stable (and no, I really don't want to
reload/reinstall - they are both after years of configuration, and...

"Save As" dialog box by
ccbobbi
A problem recently developed with "Save As" dialog boxes: the directories
appear in reverse chronological order, not alphabetical order. I know how to
get them back into alphabetical order (by clicking on the "details" button,
then on the name column heading, but it doesn't stick. Next time I open...

"Save As" Preference by
Roger Fink
When using Office (97), how can I get the "Save As" dialog box to default to
either "Desktop" or, better yet, the last saved location, rather than "My
Documents"?

"Save As..." dialog box and folder shortcuts by
Ivan Bútora
Hi everyone,
as some of you might know, the Windows 98 "Save As..." dialog box, besides being
too small, clumsy, etc., has one annoying behavior. It lets you double-click
through a folder shortcut, while replacing the name of the file to be saved with
the name of that shortcut.

"Send To" problem by
Roger Fink
How do I get the email launch command in the context menu (Send To) to work
again?
Currently, when I click the email link, say when a desktop jpg is selected,
nothing happens.
I recently upgraded my email program (Thunderbird) and I think that was the
culprit, not sure.

I think this started after the last win98/IE updates.
When I open, let's say, "My Documents", View as Web Page shows nothing but
the little icons that come up when pictures won't load. This is the same in
any opened file.
IE won't show some pictures. Same icons show up in a blank box. Yahoo is...
