W98 2 XP, need ref's dist. of sys files etc.
Hi Folks
I'm a DOS man, circa 88 or so, migrated through GeoWorks, w 3, 95, to 98, where I have been more or less happy for many years. I never made the W 2000, NT, jump so I'm in deep waters now I'm into XP sp3. Now I have 2, Acer aspire's, @1.6Gb ram, running OS Win XP he 2002 sp3. Looking at the directories as the machine comes from the box is intimidating. They run efficiently and quickly, though there's an awful lot of spam popups I'm going to have to get rid of. Automatic system, antivir, google desk, updates mostly. I'm trying to cuff the directory system and default applications around to my way of thinking but the machine does things it's own darn way. I should add that my hobby is trying out new utilities and applications so I'm not a complete clutze on 98 dll's and where they properly go etc. but XP I know zilch about. My problem is I havn't found a good (small and concise) reference that compares the layout and logic of the 2 systems yet. It may well be that my hobby will have to be restrained when it comes to XP, there isn't much that I can't do just fine in 98. Well there is skype, hmmm, and Zotero 2, and well..... hmmm. If anyone can point me towards a good info source I will appreciate it very much. Just as an afternote, it looks like a nice quiet useful group here, congrats. yours douglas ps I still use a DOS, genuinely, cubical spread sheet that has functionality not found anywhere else. |
