Using Win9x, has anyone noticed the display differences when viewing the directory "c:\windows\history" in different programs, such as DOS, Graphic Workshop Professional, WS-FTP, and Windows Explorer? Take a look at these screenshots for yourself: DOS | GWP | FTP | Explorer | Dialog Box. You'll notice that a DOS listing doesn't show the right directory names. The GWP and FTP examples show a slightly better reflection of what's in there. The dialog box example shows that sometimes the whole directory disappears. Only in Windows Explorer can you see what's fully inside. Does anyone know why this is so?
Also, I'm happy to report that we've successfully dumped Nevada Bell's DSL software (EnterNet 300), in favor of the much better RASPPPoE software. No longer do we suffer the pauses and DHCP lookup waits associated with their standard PPPoE software. Also, it's a known fact that their software slows down your computer and increases the time required upon booting. No more! RASPPPoE (see also Carrick Solutions), I highly recommend it. =)
