Hands On

Files accompanying Hands On section features are here, along with links to additional tutorials. If you need help with the SuperCD itself, please click here.

Please read the magazine articles before attempting to use the files รป some require special handling before they will work.

Note that if you manually copy files to your hard disk without using the automatic copiers provided here, the copies will be read-only. This is an artefact of the CD creation process and may cause problems when the files are used. In Windows Explorer you should right-click the copies on your hard disk, choose Properties and un-check the Read Only box. Files copied with the buttons on this page are not read-only and so do not require special attention.
