I've created my own website...a collection of moving, sad and happy and humorous poems which I would like to share with others. They come from stories my dad used to tell me when I was a kid. If you could glance at my site and if you know of others who might enjoy it and perhaps tell them of it, I would be most appreciative. Thank you. The address is www.metrocast.net/~wumply/exper-1.html
BB:
Soe of these questions may be obvious but I ask them in an effort to grasp clearly just what the various parts of the O/S do (desktop icons, systray, the All Programs list, Start Menu folder, Start Up folder.)
I was rereading my earlier questions and your answer today (1/14/04) and you said this in answer:
"It (the start menu) puts shortcuts there so you can access them in your ALL PROGRAMS menu after you click on the start button."
1. Well, there are a lot of programs (shortuts) in my "All Programs" list that are not in C:\Documents and Settings\Customer\Start Menu\Programs. How come? Are some programmers just choosing to find another way other than shortcuts in the just-referenced folder to take you to a program when you click on it in the "All Programs" list?
2. Next question: So the Start Up folder exists for a programmer to put shortcuts in to cause programs to actually open and be ready to go when one boots up, yes?
