Teach me computers

[Unspeakable Horror]

Here´s another way to eliminate programs at startup, press win + R and type msconfig, disable what you don´t need.

And if you want to get to the next level of computers:

They've got the internet on computers now, too.

1) Pick up monitor.
2) Shake vigorously until problem is resolved.
3) If above fails, either press ctl+alt+del or alt+F4 repeatedly until problem is resolved.

and don't even think of touching CTP

Don't worry:

'The files are *IN* the computer?'

Oh! I'm just downloading it.
Thank You in advance.

Thanks, it worked. You've been a great help.
Now some next questions. One I was supposed to ask
(why my old computer restarts when I want it to close itself)
is not actual. Somehow it stopped.

So, next questions.
1) In Windows, there is a "Temp" folder. What is it, and can I delete its content without doing anything bad? It's over 200MB, and my old computer has just 1,2GB, so it's a lot of place, You know
2) I saved the Europe-Italy thing on my computer, and moved to another. But there's no Flash there, and it seems that it is needed for opening it. What other programs, that may be in Windows Millenium, could be suitable for opening it? It says that it is "Shockwave Flash Object".
Eventually I could move Flash to that computer, but I'm lazy, so I ask.

3) I always wondered. If I'm downloading a net site, and images of it, leaving original names, will the images appear in proper places of the pages, if I open them?

4)Why, sometimes, it wasnts me to save things just as "attachements"?

5)I think I was downloading something, but there's no sign of it. What could've happened? No, I didn't delete it.

6)Can I search with exclusion of some folders?

7)Can I search more than one type of files at 1 time?

1) - Yes, you can delete the contents of it. Like the name suggests it is only supposed to be a Temporary folder. Windows doesn't keep anything important there.

2) - download the Macromedia Flash Player from here: http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/...nguage=English
I don't think there are any pre-installed programs that will run Flash files. You have to download the plug-in for web browsers or the stand-alone version to view them.

3) - I'm not sure what you mean. If you download the html code for a website and all the images, and the images are in the right subfolders so the code is telling the browser to look in the right place, then the page should work fine if you double-click the HTML file when not online.

4) - This happens quite a lot on Apolyton. It's a bug in the forums or something. You should be able to override it by typing the correct file extension yourself (for example .SAV or .jpg)

5) - Make sure you downloaded it into the right directory. You might also try a File Search for it's name. Otherwise look in Temporary Internet Files.

6 and 7) - I don't know.

6) Nope, not with windows search anyway.
7) Yes... Not if you use the file type drop-down box, but you can use multiple file extensions for the filename. Separate them with a space, comma, or semi-colon. E.g. *.sav *.scn *.mp would find all civ2 savegames, scenarios and maps.
