frontpage
This site uses FrontPage 2000. We started a FrontPage
site but got no response (visitors) and decided to
freeze it. If you visit the site there is a page (click on
the Resources button at the bottom) that list
many sites that really do support FrontPage.
registry
Not recommended that average user try editing the
registry. This is where Windows keeps data on running
Windows and applications. I recently had to reload an
application because something happened to the registry
data for that application. The application was still
installed but wouldn't run until I reload it! So beware.
Even if you never fool around with the registry it can
still bite you. If you must play with the registry you
might drop into this site and see what they have to say: Windows Registry Guide

Looks like file extensions. There are a couple of web
sites that can help you in determining what types of files
they are:
Extension Search: Just
input in your questionable file extension for short
definition. It can also take you directly to the extension's
definition page at Wotsit.
Computer
User - File Types: Complete listing of file
extensions. Search page to find an extension definition.

unplug eject
I think this person wants to eject a CD from their
CD-ROM. Almost all CD player software (Audio?) has an
eject command. You can also eject a CD using Windows
Explorer. Open My Computer and Right-click on
the CD-ROM icon and select eject.
memory leaks
I believe they are referring to the loss of system
resources over time and that you need to re-start Windows
to get everything back to normal. Whatever normal is.
Windows comes with a resource meter that will keep you
informed of the percent of resources you still have
available. From the Start button select Programs
>> Accessories >> Systems Tools >>
Resource Meter. I have this utility running full time
on the Windows Assistance computer. For an excellent
overview of this problem go to Fred
Langa's series on curing your Windows 98 resource leaks.

tweak win98
Do they mean TweakUI?
To install TweakUI in Windows 98:
- Insert the Windows 98 CD-ROM (not the Windows 98
Second Edition CD-ROM) into the CD-ROM drive. You must
use the Windows 98 CD-ROM.
- If you receive a notification that the CD-ROM is
from an earlier version of Windows and that the Setup
feature will be disabled, click OK.
- Click Browse This CD on the Windows 98 CD-ROM
menu.
- Double-click to open the Tools, Reskit,
and Powertoy folders.
- Right-click the Tweakui.inf file, and then
click Install.
To use the TweakUI tool after you install it, click Start,
point to Settings, click Control Panel, and
then double-click TweakUI.
TweakUI for Other Versions of Windows
There is a later version of TweakUI that works with
Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, Microsoft Windows 98
Second Edition, Windows Me, and Microsoft Windows 2000. To
download the TweakUI 1.33 update, see the following
Microsoft Web site:
http://www.microsoft.com/ntworkstation/

my documents
This is the default folder for ALL documents created by
any and all applications. Can be easily changed using
TweakUI. Otherwise you need to go to the registry and
manually change the folder location. Not a good idea. From
TweakUI: My Computer >> TweakUI. Now select
the My Computer tab and from the Folder
drop-down list select My Documents. Then click the Change
Location button to select a new folder location.
