Download confusion
Sunday, December 14, 2003 by WebGizmos | Discussion: Stardock Software
OK...can someone explain to me why it is that when I go to download something like icons I am prompted to open them with Sysmetrix rather than Iconpackager. I am just curious as to why there is no consistancy in downloads being opened with the appropriate program.
I would assume it would be...
Icons = Iconpackager
Cursors = CursorXP
WindowBlinds = Windowblinds
Sysmetrix = Sysmetrix
It's just a little confusing and sometimes frustrating when your prompted to download something with something else that has nothing to so with what your downloading. Then you have to figure out how your going to get it from where you don't want it to where when it should have gone in the first place.
That in itself could explain alot of bandwidth use when new users are confused by this and think they didn't download something correctly and do it all over again.
