Hi ! I'm afraid that the http://windows.oreilly.com/news/win98_tricks_0999.html article starts straight off with some errors and inadequate research ;-) (which alas, have also gone into the book ...) For example, item 1 gets excited about the address toolbar and invites users to type sndvol32 at an address toolbar on the taskbar. On my out of the box Win98, however, this just generates a "http://sndvol32/ not found" error Same problem for the book (p.103) where Tim states that "typing oreilly in the Address toolbar will launch your browser and start looking for www.oreilly.com" wrong again ! The result on my system is a failed search for http://oreilly/ Again the book (p. 81) proclaims that you can open a DOS window with Address --> command Actual result ? a search for http://command/ It seems that some undiscovered assumptions about Win98 setups have been made here. Perhaps the article, or at least Tims name, should be pulled until the missing research has been done :-) Robin.
