Msgboard Chatroom Marathon
Sunday, January 27, 2002 by Elfkura | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Honestly, I would go to IRC for this kind of stuff, but if any of you have been there recently, everyone seems to be...inactive. Sooooooooo, out of boredom, I'm turning a thread among this msgboard into a chat room, anyone care to join? =P.
It's Sunday night, and I'm bored out of my mind. There's much to do, but I'm too lazy to get around to do it. My boyfriend is busying trying to get Visual Studios to work so I can't talk to him on the phone....and we can't seem to talk over the phone anyways...it'll just be silence mostly.
New Semester started........so anyone alive out there to join Elffie in this chat marathon? =P
Let's try not to let this post hang for over 2 hours, hm? =P

werewolf - The Stardock stuff in my path statement looks like this: D:\STARDO~1\OBJECT~1\OBJECT~1\ so it's hard to tell OE is my default txt editor...ie if I dbl click on a .txt file, OE is loaded.
the path item brakes down into:
D:\STARDO~1
\OBJECT~1
\OBJECT~1
what this is are the long file names translated into short (8 char) file names.
the number on the end goes up with each aditional dir that has the same name.
so if you have:
D:\LONG DIR NAME A
and
D:\LONG DIR NAME B
these would become:
D:\LONGDI~1
and
D:\LONGDI~2
respectively.
now for the good bit:
go to a command prompt in the root of D: and use the command:
cd STARDO~1
this takes you down the first directory.
repeat for all the dir's, and then use the "dir" command to see the files in the final dir.
odd's are that this is going to be the OE directory.
if so, try renaming OE, and then using the quick launch buttons to launch something.
since it wont be able to find the OE exe file, i am wondering what it will do.
it could be the only effective difference between your machine and mine (both win2k) is that OE is in the path.
this is reaching a bit, but the problem is frankely bizzare.

Thanks feline...I know what the ~ is for though 
Well this is weird...I renamed the directory and the executable for Object Edit and the quick launch still loads the .exe into OE...Very weird.

Fuzzy Logic - heritick? Is that some kind of insect...
feline wonders if fuzzy logic is an insect . . .
it seems quite unlikely.
as for why we are tickling you, three reasons:
a) stop you getting the 2000th post
to find out about the chocolate you were talking about
c) it is *FUN*

well what did you expect?

I have a better plan. And don't think threatening me with tickling is going to put me off...

Hmmm the path stuff was put back in there automatically, but it's still dead. May have to reboot

Do you get the feeling this thread is moving along so fast KarmaGirl is going to miss out on the 2000th scramble?

feline: no joy. the quick launch stuff is still dead as a doornail. When I clicked on Winamp, it seemed as though it was trying to do something, but WA never showed up. Oh well.

only 39(38?) to go. Where is everyone? Jockeying for position, writing auto-post scripts?
