Introduction

     a.   Overview, Command conventions and Abbreviations
WINDOWS  95 uses a point and click command method (a mouse) for
most actions.  Programs, files, hardware devices (i.e. cd-rom)  and
documents are arranged and accessed using a desktop and filing
cabinet analogy.
Each icon on the desktop (your computer system) is in a folder
(directory)
and/or  file (document).  Together, these icons, hardware devices,
folders
and files can be called OBJECTS.
These OBJECTS can be moved, copied, opened, etc. using the point &
click of a mouse.  This method of running programs and using the
computer is called GUI or Graphical User Interface.
The main win95 screen is called the DESKTOP.  On the desktop are
folders, files and other regularly used OBJECTS.  These include:

        EXPLORER -------> (win3.x = File Manager)
        MY COMPUTER -----> (win3.x = Program Manager)
        MSN ----------> Micro$oft Network
         NETWORK NEIGHBORHOOD ------->  (shared workgroup access)
        RECYCLE BIN ------>  Drag and Drop  'Delete'
         START button ------------> Taskbar

Open one of these 'File Cabinets' and one will find Folders or what
windows   3.x called Program Groups. The FOLDERS (directories) may
have more folders, TABS ('option screens') or Documents (Files). The
primary conventions used in this FAQ to indicate how to perform an
action
-- is to list the order in which you do each step by using that
OBJECT
(actions and items) separated by backward slash. (\). For example, to
find the  windows3.x StartUp program group, now called the StartUp
folder:
          START \ Program \ Startup folder
  Any text that must be typed in by you will be indicated as
         {type text here (and what's needed)}
For instance to search for a file:
     START \ Find \ {enter file name} \ Find Now
Additional, explanatory notes or details may be shown next the
command
and will be usually enclosed in parentheses ().

Suggestion or Correction, in the Subject line.


1.   SETUP & INSTALLATION

     1.   My old windows3.x (Internet 16- bit winsock)
program no longer works?

The Windows95 32-bit winsock should run everything your previous
winsock
(like trumpet or chameleon) did.  When used with the Microsoft
tcp/ip Dial-Up Adapter or another 32bit tcp/ip protocol, you can run
32bit programs
(called Internet clients) like Netscape Navigator. Make sure you only
have
one winsock installed as some programs may become confused and thus
not
work properly. You can verify the number of winsocks on your computer
by
using the win95 FIND command:
       START taskbar \ Find  winsock \ Find Now
If you still have an old winsock.dll on your system, rename it or
delete it.  You
may then need to reboot (depending on whether or not you have
attempted
winsock usage during the current session).  With the win95, most
Internet
(winsock) apps work just fine -- (many work better than before).
However,
Trumpet's winsock does seem to have difficulty with the 32bit
Internet
applications.  This FAQ includes specific Windows95 TCP/IP setup &
Dial-Up
Adapter Instructions and links to other sources of help for tcp/ip
(PPP &
SLIP).  Some Internet programs like NFS or PING may not work at all
because they are not true tcp/ip winsock applications.
 2.   My new win95 (Internet 32-bit winsock) program does
not work?

All 32bit Internet programs require a 32bit winsock.dll AND 32bit
winsock
(TCP/IP stack) PROTOCOL.   Both Win95 and WinNT's winsocks are called
WSOCK32.DLL.  The WSOCK32.DLL is a 32-bit stack just like
WINSOCK.DLL is a 16-bit stack for windows3.x.  PPP and SLIP use the
win95's DIAL-UP ADAPTER for the PPP and SLIP protocols required to
complete the connection to the Internet. See questions 3.1 (PPP) and
3.2
(SLIP) for instructions on installing win95's dial-up adapter.

3.   How to set up tcp/ip PPP connection?
SUMMARY: establishing a WIN95 Dial-Up Network Connection to the
Internet:
1. Install win95 software (called the Dial-Up Adapter).
2. Configure the win95 Dial-Up Adapter.
3. Configure the win95 Dial-Up Connection
4. Once the dial-up adapter is installed, you can also review the
document
"Dialing up the Internet with Windows  95" located in the folder
Dial-Up
Networking (click on the MyComputer icon).

     5.   Eliminate errors when booting up?
Errors 6102 on bootup:  I am getting this message every time I boot
up:
"Error occurred while loading device: VNETSUP: Error 6102.  The
string
specified by the Workgroup keyword in the registry is too short."
Answer:  Seen this before, you need to specify a workgroup in the
Control
Panel /network icon/identification tab.  It doesn't matter what it
says (mine
says "none") but it needs to have something there.
VxD vmm Has anyone experienced a consistent fatal error in the final
beta
with the following message:>
A fatal error 0E has occurred in moduleVxD Vmm . . .>occurring @
various
memory addresses.   The unit gets this message quite frequently
(every 1-2
min. w/ normal use).I can clear the error about 3-4 times before the
screen
no longer refreshes, and I am forced to reset. I have gone through
the
system properties looking for irq & dma conflicts finding none.  I am
suspecting a chipset argument among the hardware components.
Answer: I know a good challenge when I see it...found the answer to
this one
in the win.ini of all places. Remember that file which is only
included for
backwards comparability? Under the section [colors] the line
"graytext=" sets
the colors for disabled text. I use a gray menu so my entries are
Menu=192
192 192 GrayText=128 128 128
My guess is that yours both read the same numbers. Try this and see
if this
points to any thing that will help. Go to Help and use the search to
vmm32,
in window 3 click on Troubleshooting Specific Startup Errors, and
Verifying
the Installation.

6.   TCP/IP Troubleshooting Diagnostics Program?
There's a program in the C:\WINDOWS directory that I've often seen
but
never clicked on.  Turns out it's rather useful for diagnosing DNS
and IP
address problems.The program is called WINIPCFG.EXE, and is a really
cool
little thing. It gives a pull-down list box of your various IP
interfaces, including
PPP, and their respective information.  Even has checkboxes for IP
Routing,
which implies that Win95 should be able to do this, just like NT.
Click the
"More Info" box and find yourself bedazzled by swaths of information.
 (Most
of which is for DHCP, and useless for most dial-up users, but hey,
it's there.)
Doesn't look like you can /change/ it from here, though, unless
you're running
DHCP. ---Xiphias

7.    After install, files that may be manually delete?
Files '95 won't delete....ie. Terminal is now replaced by
Hyperterminal, do
you still need Terminal cluttering up your HD? Files '95 deletes only
if you
install new versions....ie.Character Map is also offered by '95 if
you
specified it replaced.  If you don't use Character Map do you need
this
type of file on your HD? Features dropped.......ie.Clock isn't
included with
'95, so it doesn't delete them, if you don't use these, do you need
them?

1.8 TIPS: Install & Re-Install?
Last week I posted a message (INSTALL: 490=>MSN=>WordPad) about
problems I was having with viewing MSN downloaded files . . .(and MS
tech support suggestion that I re-install Windows to a separate
directory
--> possible corrupted system files)
TIPS Summary --> for those who want to "cut to the chase"
====================================================
... after struggling for almost twelve hours last night and this
morning, I
learned:
-- having DOS still "underneath" win95 was a life-saver
-- having a couple good reference books made the life-saving possible

_PC MOM, the MOTHER of ALL PC BOOKS_ (c) 1995 by Leonhard &
Simon;   _DOS INSIDE & OUT_ (c) 1991 by K.Jamsa;   _MULTI-MEDIA &
CD-ROMS's for DUMMIES_ (c) 1994 by A.Rathbone;   _MORE
WINDOWS for DUMMIES_ (c) 1994 by A.Rathbone
-- if you have a cd-rom, make sure a copy of the DOS program,
MSCDEX.EXE,   is residing in your c:\DOS directory, so in Step By
Step
BOOT mode  you can run it if DOS won't recognize your cd-rom.   (I
had
to copy it from my original MS-DOS disks)
After bootup, at the DOS command line, retype the line from your
CONFIG.SYS file that references the cd-rom driver, it will look
something
like this
        c:\utility\cdromDRV.SYS /D:mcd-000 /n:1
Then run the MS-DOS Load CD-ROM driver program:
              c:\dos\mscdex.exe     /D:mcd-000
-- Pay ATTENTION to what directory win95 tries to install in, it may
not be
WINDOWS and there is not alert that "are you sure  you want to
install to
a different directory?"
-- Cannot find HIMEM.SYS ... make sure it is in your WINDOWs
directory
(you look and it is there), type at the dos prompt SET and the
HIMEM.SYS"  command line from your CONFIG.SYS file.
-- "Cannot Load ATMSYS.DRV error means the default system.ini  file

3.   HOW DO I ____________ WINDOWS 95

     1.   See the available disk space on the hard-drive?
My Computer\Drive{\Folder or \Folder\File} \RIGHT mouse click
\PROPERTIES
or
EXPLORER\Drive {\folder, file, etc}\RIGHT Mouse click\Properties
     2.   Change, add or delete file associations (file types)?
MyComputer \ select 'Options' under the 'View' menu \ then the 'File
Types' tab
Then edit any of the associations to your heart's content.
__________________
Here's the 'behind the scenes' scoop:  The associations for
registered file
types are stored  in the registry. Say you've associated the file
type .XXX
with some program. The hard way to remove the association is to run
regedit and search for a key '.XXX'. You'll find it pointing to
another entry
called 'XXX_auto_file'.  Delete the '.XXX' key and search for the
'XXX_auto_file' key, which you'll find pointing to the program you
used to
open the .XXX file. Delete this key also, and the association is
gone.
However, the registry is dangerous to edit directly unless you know
what
you're doing. The better, supported method is provided by in the
above
answer but now you know how the associations are set up in the
registry.
     3.   Minimize all the windows on the desktop?
Use your right mouse button to click an empty area on the START
taskbar. Select minimize all windows. Also you may open the 'parent
folder' from taskbar and close.
     4.   Make my desktop look like windows3.x (i.e Program
Manager)?
If you really want to go back to Progman/Fileman as your shell, you
can
edit system.ini and change the Shell= line to:   Shell=progman.exe
However, before you do, be aware that FILEMAN (even the Win95
version) does not appear to support long file names. This could be a
problem later.  However, after you set shell=progman.exe, one can
still run
EXPLORER and see/use long file names.
     5.   Fix a corrupt Registry File (i.e. WIN.INI file)?
There are two files in your Windows directory, USER.DA0 and
SYSTEM.DA0 that are copies of USER.DAT and SYSTEM.DAT which are
registry files. Make copies of USER.DAT and SYSTEM.DAT to something
like USER.DA_ and SYSTEM.DA_ (for just such an emergency) and
rename USER.DA0 and SYSTEM.DA0 to USER.DAT and SYSTEM.DAT
respectively. This should restore the system. :-)
     6.   Uninstall win95?
Try the instructions in drk.zip at <
href="file://ftp.microsoft.com">ftp.microsoft.com<>
     7.   Do a windows3.x File Manager "search"?
START taskbar \ FIND \Files or Folders
     8.   Make win95's Explorer look like windows3.x's File
Manager?
To have folders displayed on the tree so that it is unnecessary to
click the
+ ?
Open Explorer \ pull down VIEW menu \ Select 'List' or 'Details'
I find 'Details' the most useful because it has Type (i.e
Application) and
date. Your last configuration will remain until you change it again.
     9.   Fix "Specified Pathname is Invalid." errors?
I have a number of programs which I moved around onto all this great
new
free space I've got, but when I try to execute them I get "Specified
path is
invalid".
You need to re-install the programs. When you had to re-install
Windows
95 or moved some of the programs the Registry entries  for these
programs were lost. The error message is somewhat confusing.
     10.  Change Explorer's defaults?
Default FONT:  While playing around with my system I discovered that
the
min, max, and close buttons in the right of the Title Bar are sized
proportionally to the size of the font chosen for the Title Bar. So,
if you are
using a high res screen setting and are having a hard time accurately
hitting the buttons, select a larger Title bar font. This also
effects the size
of the font in the task bar,  allowing you to see more of the
application
name if you choose a smaller font.
Right Click Desktop\ Select PROPERTIES \ then APPEARANCE, Item \
ACTIVE TITLE BAR, then choose the font you want -
TIP:   You can change the size of the title bar (and the buttons
along with
it) independently of the font size. Go back to the properties screen
you
describe and experiment with changing the size of the 'Item', as
opposed
to the 'Font'. While it's true that making the font large will
increase the size
of the title bar, if you just want the buttons bigger, you don't have
to make
the font bigger.

Start DIRECTORY: In the properties for the icon for Explorer enter
the
following:
        EXPLORER.EXE /n,/e,g:\Programs
This will cause explorer to start in g:\Programs when it comes up.
> What do the /n and /e do?  What other parameters are there? This is
from the Windows Resource Kit available on the CD ROM refering to
command line switches which you could add to your shortcut.  You
caHard
drive Performancene switches for Windows Explorer in shortcut links
or
batch files, for example, to run Windows Explorer with a specified
file
selected
      Syntax      explorer [/n]
[/e][,/root,object][[,/select],subobject]
      Parameters
      /n - Always open a new window (even if the specified folder is
already
open).
      /e - Use Windows Explorer view. The default is Open view.
      /root,object - Specify the object in the normal namespace that
will be
used as the root of this Windows Explorer Folder. Thedefault is to
just use
the normal namespace root (the desktop).
      /select - Specifies that the parent folder is opened and the
specified
object is selected. subobject - Specify the folder to receive the
initial focus
unless  /select is used. The default is the root.
      Windows Explorer Examples (1)To open a window rooted at
\\myserver so you can easily browse the whole server, but nothing
else:
explorer /e,/root,\\myserver (2) To open a folder window on
C:\WINDOWS
(or make an open window active) and select CALC.EXE,StartUpxplorer
/select,c:\windows\calc.exe

     11.  Create icons for each folder on the desktop?
Make a directory (folder) called AllFolders and drag all your folders
off the
desktop in t to it. Now, with the right mouse button drag each
individual
folders back to the desktop.  When the menu pops up choose "create
shortcut here".  You will then have a shortcut to your individual
folders and
can choose any icon by Right Mouse clicking on the shortcut and
selecting
properties ...
     12.  Print a document to a file? Drag & Drop Printing?
Just right click on printer's icon in My Computer \ Printers and
choose
FILE: in Properties \ Details \ "Print to the following port"
(normally LPT1).
"How Do I" do non-associated Drag-and Drop printing in Win95. I wish
to print files that I know to be ASCII in nature without having to
specifically
associate them with an application (what I want is the Win95 version
of
"type [filename] >prn" - ala D'n'D).
1.       Just create a DOS batch file, mine's called PRT.BAT with the
single
line "copy %1 lpt1: /b > null"    The /b is for a binary copy if
you're planning
on sending pre-formatted print files to the printer (i.e. FOO.PRN
which
consists of PCL code or PostScript code) Omit the /b if you're just
going to
type the files to the printer.
2.      Then create an MSDOS shortcut and fill in the full path to
this batch
file for "Cmd line:" under the Program tab.
3.      Change the icon to look like one of the Windows 95 printers.
Now
you can drag any file onto this shortcut and it will go straight to
the printer.
I have implemented this tip which sends a file directly to the
printer without
passing GO and without collecting $200. My shortcut's sitting on the
desktop near my recycle bin and I've changed the icon to one of the
printer icons.    Then all I do it dump a print-ready file onto it
and that's
that.   No opening applications, no messages, nothing.  It just
prints, but
only one file at a time, please. Cheers, Mike

     13.  NOT Save desktop settings on shutdown?
In order to allow Win95 NOT to save settings on exit,  you first have
to run
POLEDIT.EXE directly from the Installation CD Rom or to run it after
you
install it on your computer. it is located under
\Mig_kit\Adm95\Apptools\Poledit  in built 490 and under
\Admin\apptools\Poledit in built 347.
                   POLICY EDITOR:
To install the policy editor; \ - Open up the 'Add/Remove Programs"
Icon in
control panel,   - Select Windows setup and click on "have a disk", \
 -
Select "Browse" and choose your CD Drive letter\   - Then choose
"\Mig_kit\Adm95\Apptools\Poledit",\        -  Highlight the
"Poledit.inf" file,\  -
Click OK until your are back to the control panel window.\ the Policy
editor
shortcut icon is by default in system tools. Now:\ - run the policy
editor, \ -
select file and then "Open registry", \  - double click on "local
user",\        -
navigate the tree as follows: Local User > Shell > Restrictions \ -
under the
shell restriction, set "Don't save setting at exit" \ so that it has
a check
mark. - click OK\   - click file and then save the registry.
     14.  Make a copy of a file?
Highlight the file to be copied.\ Press together CONTROL key & C
(letter
C)\ Move your cursor to where you want the copy to be. \  Press
together
CONTROL key & V (letter V for "paste")
     15.  Do a DISKCOPY from A: to A:
The capability is on the Right Click menu.  Right click on the drive
icon,
and select "Copy Disk"
16.  Automatically close parent folder?
When opening folders using the "My Computer" route, is it possible to
close the parent window automatically when opening a folder within a
folder?
Select View, Options and then within the Folder section select the
radio
button for 'Browse folders by using a single window that changes as
you
open each folder' ---Steve
OR
Hold down the shift key and use the "X" box to close the LAST window
you opened; all the other parent windows will close with it. ---Phil

17.  Create Cascading Desktop Menus from START
taskbar?
 Create new cascading menus off the Start Taskbar.  An example: In
the
Start Menu folder in your Windows 95  folder, create a new folder and
name it, exactly: Control
Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}
(All on one line, must include the ".", the curly braces, all four
hyphens,
and the hex numbers exactly as shown.)

18.   Desktop ICON Management?
(a) Does anybody know how to make the icons on the desktop 'snap' to
a grid. This is a really obvious feature that any many window
managers
have had for ages. The Arrange icons is useless cos it just put
everything
to one side and the straighten icons options only solves half the
problem
(which wouldn't be a problem if you have snap to grid). Right click
desktop, click Line-up icons.  It just lines them up...how about
that!-
(b) Is it possible to get rid of the Icons for My Computer and
Recycle
Bin from the desktop? I don't use them, Explorer gives the same
possibilities ...
Get rid of ANY icon in 5 seconds - and get them back when you change
your mind - in 3 seconds!  --   without Poledit, regedit and
whatever-edit!
0. Click right mouse button on the desktop. Select Arrange Icons.
Uncheck
"Auto Arrange".  1. Drag the  My Computer (or Recycle Bin, or Network
Neighborhood) icon to the  lower edge of the screen.  2 Drag any
other
icon and place it  above the icon you want to hide.  3. Press the
left mouse
button and drag a SELECTION RECTANGLE around both icons.    Both
icons will be highlighted. Release the left button.  4. Click on the
upper
icon and drag it -- and the lower icon with it -- downward  until the
lower
icon disappears below the screen edge. Voila!  5. Click on desktop to
remove the selection. Drag the upper icon to it's place.
   To restore the hidden icons:   Right click on desktop... Line up
icons... Here you are!  This way.  Even for those who (like me) hates

POLEDIT   (once I played with it ... and *then* my mailbox got
trashed...
no, thanks).   My record is 5 mouse clicks to hide the icon -- who
wants to
beat it?  ---- PA
(d) To set your Desktop Icons to Auto Arrange....        Right-click
on the
Desktop.        Choose Arrange Icons.  Then check on Auto Arrange.

19.   Change the bootup LOGO for win95?
I don't know where the default is, but if you want to display your
own logo
as a bitmap simply create a bitmap no larger than 320x400 and no
larger
than 127k. Name it LOGO.SYS and place it in the root directory (c:\)
NOT
in the windows dir like the logos.sys and logow.sys shutdown screens.
Your logo will display upon booting. NOTE: the progress thing across
the
bottom does not display while Windows 95 boots. That should do
it.---Mike
Dixon




4.   MS-DOS issues and Dual Boot Up issues

     1.   Make more memory available to run DOS games?
Try this new config.sys=.
             device=c:\windows\himem.sys
   device=c:\windows\emm386.exe noems I=e000-efff
                highscan dos=high,umb

Delete the words *RAM* and *AUTO* from the emm386 device line.
Delete the reference to the page frame. Good Luck!
>But, how can I get 600 conventional memory when I run a DOS session?
I was having no problems before win95, but now I can't seem to get it
no
matter how bare bones I run. (this is "full" DOS session, like
rebooting to
DOS).
After much pulling of hair, and threats to my computer, I found the
following tip which helped free up conventional memory.  Try adding
the
following lines to the top of config.sys:
                       DOS=HIGH,UMB
                DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
         DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE RAM HIGHSCAN
This freed up quite a bit of extra high memory in which to load
drivers. I
went from 562K conventional to 612K.  Hope this helps.
     2.   Safeguards for dual win95/DOS boots?
Booting to an old DOS environment is handled in WIN95 by renaming the
members of two sets of files in the root directory of the boot drive
(C: in
most cases).  Initially, while running in Win95 environment the files
are as
follows:
  Win95 Files    File Sizes              DOS Files         FileSizes
  ============   ===========  =============
===========
  AUTOEXEC.BAT  Variable      AUTOEXEC.DOS    Variable
  CONFIG.SYS   Variable CONFIG.DOS        Variable
  COMMAND.COM   92,156        COMMAND.DOS       54,645
  IO.SYS       250,840        IO.DOS            40,774
  MSDOS.SYS     1,637         MSDOS.DOS         38,138
During (after?) Power-on self-test (POST),if you press F4 to select
DOS
mode boot, the list of files (ABOVE)--on the left are all renamed to
have
the file extension 'W40 and those in the right column are renamed to
have
the extensions that had been on their counterparts in the left list.
That is,
the files then appear as follows:
  Win95 Files    File Sizes   DOS Mode Files File Sizes
  =============  ===========  ============== ===========
  AUTOEXEC.W40  Variable      AUTOEXEC.BAT   Variable
  CONFIG.W40    Variable      CONFIG.SYS     Variable
  COMMAND.W40   92,156             COMMAND.COM
                         54,645
  IO.W40        250,840       IO.SYS         40,774
  MSDOS.W40     1,637         MSDOS.SYS      38,138
The above renaming sequence is reversed when you re-boot the PC after
a DOS session, if you don't interrupt the reboot process (i.e.,  you
don't
press F4 again).  In this way, the Win95 mode of operation is
reestablished.  Note that selecting  'Restart the Computer in MS-DOS
Mode' is NOT the same as using F4 during POST.  Instead you go into a
'Win95' version of DOS.  You will in fact be running the 92 KB DOS
command processor.  And some programs (e.g., Colorado Tape for DOS)
will still complain that it is being run in Windows, and refuse to
load!!  You
should type EXIT to terminate this form of DOS session; you'll get
the
message that Windows is reloading!!
One could also add a section about setting ATTRIB -R -H -S on
MS-DOS.sys then edit in to add BOOTMULTI=1 in the OPTIONS section
so you can hit F4 on StartUp.  Additionally, could add BOOTMENU=1 to
get menu every time. For more details on windows95 Start-Up, see 8.4
Start-Up Files

     3.   Set up a win95/DOS dual system?
Instructions can be found in Microsoft  Windows  95 Resource Kit,
Section 2; pages 38-43 Dual Booting with F4 key is turned on by
default if
one installs win95 to a clean directory

4.   Change default for Dual Bootup?
 It just takes a little work, and it's not even that difficult.
Here's how I did it
on my system (using info from Mike Dixon's Win95 QAID): Find the file
"msdos.sys"  (in root directory) -right click on the file, go to
properties, and
Uncheck the "read-only" box -right click on the file again, choose
"open
with...", and open the file (I used Notepad as an editor) -add lines
or
modify current lines to get the following:
BootMenu=2
BootMulti=1
BootMenuDelay=1
BootMenuDefault=8
-Then just save the file, go back and make it read-only again, and it
should
work (provided you installed to allow multi-boot in the first place).
 As I
understand it, BootMenu=2 makes the boot menu come up by default (you
could otherwise reach it by pressing F8 on bootup), BootMulti=1
allows
multi-boot.  BootMenuDelay=1 sets a 1-second delay before the bootup
resumes automatically using the (BootMenuDefault=8) number eight
choice on the menu, which in the build that I'm using is the option
for
"previous version of MS-DOS".
For me, this setup accomplished exactly what the original question
suggested, namely an automatic boot into the old version of windows,
with
the option (if you're quick with the "1" key when the menu pops up)
of
booting to Win95 if you wish to do so. ---Andrew


5.   Specific HARDWARE & SOFTWARE  Issues

     1.   Unrecognized video card and updating drivers?
My setup went fine, but the Hardware Wizard couldn't find my video
card
(a Advance Logic GUI-Ultra) or my monitor (15' Darius, had the
manufacturer but not the model listed).  As a result I have to use
VGA
settings, which limits me too 16 color and 640x480 resolution. Is
there an
alternative?
This might rescue you from your 640 X 480 purgatory. I ran the
automatic
resolution changer that came with the video card, the one used with
win
3.1. (It doesn't go through the setup program) So I selected my
resolution
and it prompted me to 'Restart Windows?' I thought that it would send
me
into the Win95 Restart screen but it didn't.  It rebooted windows and
came
back in just fine at 1280 X 1024 @ 256c.
     2.   Troubleshooting Tips?
Look first for an answer in PROGRAM RELEASE NOTES; it includes
discussion and 'fixes' for known hardware and software problems
located
in the following folder:
           C:\Windows\Readme      (83 kb).
If you have the CD-ROM (Preview Version), print a copy of the WINDOWS
95 (tm) Resource Kit's Table of Contents (26 pages) located in
folder:
cd-rom drive Letter\wrk95\chapters\RK0.toc.d.. The Resource Kit
documentation offers extensive notes and technical discussion about
various topics from:
  ------ TOPICS and chapters including Appendices --------
      Installation                          4  chapters
      Networking and Remote Admin          12 chapters
      Security                               1 chapter
      Performance Tuning                     1 chapter
      System Configuration                   6 chapters
      Communications (modems, NET, etc)      7 chapters
      System Architecture and Registry      3 chapters
      Other References (one chapter each);
           International win95
           General Troubleshooting
           Glossary (16 pages)
           Command-Line Summary (51 pages)    'DOS' commands
           MS.BATCH.INF                       'BAT' files
I printed the TOC, two SETUP chapters and pretty much all the
chapters
between 21 - 35 and selected appendices including the Command-Line
Summary and it was about 1,000 pages.  No, I haven't read them all --
just
chapters or pages related to specific problems I had or had
anticipated.

There is also a shareware utility called VGACOPY. It's a nice
graphical
interface and allows you to copy all kinds of formats, even diskcopy
1.2mb
disks to 1.44, etc.I used it at the office to make backup copies of
our Win
NT 3.5 disks.  You can get the utility off of many BBS', AOL, and
probably
any other online service.
I found WinImage ver2.0 Beta 4 in the WUGNET forum on CompuServe
under the name WIMBTA.ZIP (257K)
     6.   Find a 32-bit Text Editor?
Where can I find a 32-bit text editor to handle any size file?
I use a *Freeware* program that is delightful, comes either 16-bit or
32-bit,
file size unlimited:  All around great text editor!! called
Programmer File
Editor (PFE).  It can be found at cica or a cica mirror --  file name
is:

     7.   EUDORA: stop receiving MS-EXCHANGE *.rtf
attachments?
Click SPECIAL menu \ click CONFIGURATION Make sure the "Auto
Receive Attachment" box is not checked.
EUDORA 2.x At 12:37 AM 7/23/95 -0400, Paul wrote: Regarding
EUDORA, here's another option (at least in the registered version
(2.1.1):
-  Under the attachments setting, select a directory to have them
goto.
-  Check the "Delete Attachments when emptying trash" box
So, by doing this, all the attachments will goto a separate directory
and
then get deleted when you delete the message if valid attachment, I
just
move it to another directory before delete the message it was
contained
in.
EUDORA LITE (eudora 1.4) freeware users don't have an automated

Confirmation can be passed automatically in a *.bat file (Use DELTREE
/Y C:\TEMP\*.* if DOS 6.x and above or create a text file called
Y.TXT with
the first line being the character Y then a carriage return, and use
DEL
C:\TEMP\*.*<path\Y.TXT  (substitute the location of Y.TXT for the
word
"path" here).
or
Echo Y|del C:\Temp\*.*
Works every time, & you don't have to worry about having deltree on
the

Most of the the *.rtf files begin with R (for RE:). You will still
have to
manually delete the other *.rtf files but at least there in TEMP
directory.  If
your brave enough, add DEL C:\TEMP\*.* I did try this option but on
boot
up, DOS prompts for confirmation.
I've created a directory called RTFtemp and turned back on eudora's
auto
attachment feature since the *.rtf files attachments are starting to
increase
again.  Create a shortcut to RTFtemp and place on the desktop. Click
on
it. Edit. Select All. Delete.Good Luck!

8.  NETSCAPE
You apparently have not taken time to read the release notes under
the
Help menu in Netscape.  I quote from:

http://home.netscape.com/eng/mozilla/1.2/relnotes/windows-1.2b5.html
"Running the 32-bit version on Win95: If you get an error message
"Netscape was unable to create network socket connection (Reason
10047)," it is probably because you are trying to run the 32-bit
version of
Netscape using a 16-bit winsock application. To run the 32-bit
version of
Netscape, you need a 32-bit winsock application. Win95 comes with a
32-bit TCP/IP stack, but you need to install it." ---Xiphias

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.0, 3.0a, 3.1, 3.11
 - Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.1, 3.11
-------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY =======> You can change the color of Help jump terms, Help
glossary terms, text that run Help macros, and selected text in
Microsoft
Windows by adding lines to different sections of the WIN.INI file, as
follows:
Highlighted text        Section of WIN.INI      Line to add
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Help jump terms         [Windows Help]          Jumpcolor=(R G B)
Help glossary terms     [Windows Help]          Popupcolor=(R G B)
Help macros             [Windows Help]          MacroColor=(R G B)
Windows screens         [colors]                HighlightText=(R G B)
The R, G, and B values are integers between 0 and 255 that specify
the
relative intensities of red, green, and blue. For example, the
following
turns the text bright blue:   Jumpcolor=0 0 255 In this example, zero
turns
the red and green intensities off, and 255 turns the blue intensity
to the
brightest level. After you make the change in the WIN.INI file and
save it,
you can access the Program Manager, choose Help, then choose
Contents. The color change you made appears. You do not have to exit
and restart Windows to see your color change.
MORE INFORMATION=====> The following table lists the default
16-color palette with the Line to add: White  (JumpColor=255 255 255)
Light Gray (JumpColor=192 192 192) Gray (JumpColor=127 127 127)
Bright Red (JumpColor=255 000 000) Red (JumpColor=127 000 000)
Bright Green (JumpColor=000 255 000) Green (JumpColor=000 127 000)

(JumpColor=255 000 255) Purple (JumpColor=127 000 127) Black
(JumpColor=000 000 000)  NOTE: If your video driver supports more
than
256 colors, the jump colors may not displayed correctly. REFERENCES

==== POWER TOYS DESCRIPTIONS === IF YOU LIKE LETTING
OTHER PEOPLE RUN YOUR LIFE go ahead and press that cute little
button with the house on it... but if you're like the Windows95 Shell
Development Team, you've got to have things your way, and it better
be
right now.  For these guys, there can never be enough shortcuts for
getting stuff done. They've come in late at night, night after night,
when
everyone else is sound asleep -- real programmers don't sleep -- and
put
together a set of tools: the PowerToys.  They wrote 'em. We like 'em.
We
think you will, too. So if you're a Windows95 power-user, go ahead
and try
them out... but don't go crying to our Help Center if you get
confused:
there's no lifeguard on duty, so you're swimming at your own risk.
Don't
get us wrong -- they all do what they should -- but they are not part
of
Windows 95, and are not supported by Microsoft. So that's the story.

10.  M$ PowerToys for win95 Installation
Installing the PowerToys
========================   1.Create a folder for the PowerToys.
Right-click on the desktop and choose New:Folder from the pop-up
menu.
Name   the folder "Power".   2. Download the PowerToys. Click the
link on
the PowerToy page to download the file "PowerToy.exe". Save it in the
Power folder you just created.    3. De-compress the file
"PowerToy.exe".
Open the Power folder and double-click the file "PowerToy.EXE". This
will
create several new files in your Power folder.   4. Install the
PowerToys.
Find the new Setup Information files ("INF" files -- they look like
notepads
with a little yellow gear on each). Right-click each one (one for
each
PowerToy), then choose Install.
Uninstalling the PowerToys
==========================   1. Open the control panel. On the
Start Menu, choose Settings->Control Panel.    2. Open "Add/Remove
Programs". Find the Control Panel called Add/Remove Programs and
double-click it.   3. Remove PowerToys. Select the PowerToy you want
to
uninstall on the list, then click the button marked "Add/Remove".



11    Harddrive Performance and 32-bit mode (win95)?
Since installing win95, I've noticed decreased performance.
If your motherboard's bios supported Block Mode or 32-bit disk
access,
turn it off.It seems to conflict with either your hard drive
controller or
Windows 95 itself.  I was also on the phone with Microsoft, until
they finally
gave up.  I decided to turn off those two items, plus LBA mode, and
everything is now at 32 bit disk access...  No problems...  I hope
that work
for ya.------ Zubin

12. Changing the cd-rom drive letter in win95?
Control Panel\System\Device
Manager\CD-ROM\Properties\Settings....---chris@

13.  Bilingual keyboard settings?
We have lots of bilingual keyboards called TBITS-5 keyboards.  In
order to
work under DOS, you have to set the codepage to 850.  Is there a
facility
to do that under Windows95? You need to add the following two lines
to
your AUTOEXEC.BAT:
mode con codepage prepare=((850) C:\windows\COMMAND\ega.cpi)
mode con codepage select=850    ---Christian

 14.  Here's how to configure the speak.exe sound driver
for Windows95.
1: Get the speaker driver at
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/Softlib/MSLFILES/speak.exe 2: Run speak.exe
to
decompress it and make speaker.drv  3: Copy speaker.drv to
\Windows\System  4: Add to SYSTEM.INI Under the drivers section, add
a
line that says Wave=speaker.drv  And add a new section just like this
[speaker.drv]
CPU Speed=32
Volume=1000
Version=774
Enhanced=1
Max seconds=0
Leave interrupts enabled=0
5: Save SYSTEM.INI. 6: Reboot/restart 7: Start Control Panel. Make
sure
no other programs are running. 8: Open Multimedia  9: Click on the
"Advanced" Tab  10: Double click on Audio Devices, to open up Audio
for
Sound Driver  for PC-Speaker  11: Click on Audio for Sound Driver for
PC-Speaker  12: Click on Properties. 13: Click on Settings 14: You're
now
at the change speaker settings dialog box from Windows 3.1. Click on
Default. 15: Adjust volume, Limit, & Enable interupts to you hearts
delight.
I hope this proves helpful. (again :-) Mark

15.  PC ANYWHERE

6.   COMMUNICATIONS: modems,    networking
issues, Micro$oft Network     (MSN),
MS-EXCHANGE, MS-FAX

     1.   Automated script function for Internet (dial-up
adapter)?
Will there be an automated script function for dial-up adpater? Not
sure
but there's a simple freeware scriptor called RoboDUN at
      ftp.southwind.net//users/l/leeb/rdun61.zip.
     2.   MSN access troubleshooting?
 6.2.(a) I get a carrier tone to MSN and then it disconnects? If this
is your
first time, MSN is looking for special file which is incorrectly
named on the
hard drive. \My Computer \Program Files \Microsoft
Network\VIEW\Options \click 'Show All Files' (also make sure 'Hide
All
Files in Registry' is not checked) \CLOSE RENAME 800950.dat to
800950.da_
 6.2(a).1 After renaming the above file, I am still unable to connect
to MSN
... I had the same problem for awhile. I called Microsoft and they
had me
turn off the error correction; works fine now.
6.2(a).2 This is in the FAQ now. Remove MSN thru the Control Panel,
then reinstall. Next rename the file. I know this doesn't make any
sense,
but I've noticed with win95 ...  try reinstalling it and it works
more than half
the time. I've even had something working right then all of the
sudden it
doesn't work.  Go thru reinstall and it works again. Bad quirk. but
hey it's a
beta release right?

      homepage (http://www.priment.com/~markd/)

      An Ascii copy of this FAQ is available at
       http://walden.mo.net/~rymabry/win95.txt
6.2(b)    After downloading a file from MSN the file is deleted from
my disk.
If you are refering to text or documents, yes they are deleted.
Notice that
when you first view the file on line the path is
'WINDOWS\TEMP\FILENAME'. If you want to keep the file select 'Save
as'and choose a new path.
     3.   Remove the NETWORK NEIGHBORHOOD icon from
desktop?
I'm not in a shared workgroup environment.  How can I remove the
NETWORK NEIGHBORHOOD from my desktop? This is for stand alone
computers, networked with SLIP or PPP, only! \ --Install and Run the
System Policy Editor.(Its under admin\apptools\poledit.) \ --Select
File|Open Registry \ --Double-click on 'Local User'   Navigate the
tree as
follows: Local User  Shell  Restrictions \ Under the shell
restrictions,  set
'Hide Network Neighborhood'   so that it has a checkmark. \ --Click
OK
--File|Save the registry.
     4.   Stop MS-EXCHANGE from sending *.rtf binary
attachments?
In MS-EXCHANGE, push the button marked "Reply to All", instead of
"Reply" and it MS-E uses the default settings in your address book.
Verify
the Properties setting by: Double click on the address in the TO: box
of the
reply. The Properties box should have a check box for rtf formatting.
Make
sure it is not checked.   Derek Moyes
FAQ Readers: this answer took 4 months to solve involving many
proposed "work around" solutions and several mini-flame wars on
win95-L.
Derek finally uncovered the M$-Exchange secret to replying to others
mail
without sending those annoying rtf attachments.  He received many
well
deserved 3 cheers from many on the mail list..
How do I leave it off as the default? Try Tools-> Services ->Internet
profile-> Properties__butten->- - - -                 - - -Messages
Format Dialog
Box
One more suggestion: use Tools, Customize Toolbar to remove the
"Reply to Sender" button from your toolbar icons.  You can still do
it
through Compose menu, or just CTRL-R, but removing it from the
toolbar
will definitely remind you to use "Reply to All" which won't send RTF
instead of "Reply to Sender" which will. Just a thought...Xiaphis
RTF: specifies character sets and format of outgoing messages and
unless you explicitely turn of rtf formatting in your outgoing
messages,
MS-ECHANGE messages are sent in two chunks: the plain text of the
message, and the message MIME encoded in a file called WINMAIL.DAT
(i think) attached to the message. WINMAIL.DAT contains the original
message withhe colors, formatting and fonts used.
Other MS-EXCHANGE stuff: I have changed my font from the ISO to
ASCII but I still see the '=' as a soft return in the posts I have
made to
the list.  I believe I tried disabling MIME at one point in the past
and found
that they went away.  However, I do not want to lose MIME
compatibility.
Anyone have other ideas?
Try pressing return when you reach the end of the screen in
Exchange,rather than letting Exchange wrap it. Exchange puts in no
hard
line breaks, so your message comes out as one great big long string.
Some mailers will wrap it for you and put '=' sign at the ends of the
lines to
let you know where the line break occurred. The '=' are not coming
from
Exchange.-- Colin
     5.  Signature File for MS-EXCHANGE?
Three ways to add a signature (make a sig file):
(.5.1)  Place your Signature file  in the Exchange directory
(folder). When
you finish an e-mail message, click on Insert/file - the first time
in a
session you will need to navigate to the Exchange folder in the
dialog box
that comes up and then - click on your  sig.file and make sure the
Text
only raised button is darkened in the lower left hand side. Press ok
--
there is your sig.
(.5.2)  I think it's easier to create a sig file "message"and save it
in an
Exchange folder.  Then when you want to include it in a new message,
ust
open the sig file "message," Edit/Copy it, return to new message,
then
paste it where you want it to appear.Two ways to add a sig is to make
a
sig file.
(.5.3)There's another way.  Get MailSig 1.7.   MailSig adds a
"Signature"entry to the Insert menu and even includes random
taglines. ---

     6.   Modem String Initialization? Modem Statistics?
I need to 'massage' my modem initialization strings; does anyone know
where these are found? The apps I'm interested in are dial-up and
MSN.
Go into Control Panel\ Modems \ Select modem \ Click Properties \
click
Connections tab, click on the Advanced button, look at the field,
EXTRA
and add in the string minus the AT.
OR
Go to startup/run type in regedit; do a search for the string "modem"
f3
finds next f3 till you see the init string edit to your hearts
content and save
changes. mdodge@
Modem Statistics
Look in:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services|Class\Modem\nnnn\
(Don't go into "init").
Near the bottom is a "Reset" key. Mine says "AT&F<cr>"
My understanding is that Win95 sends this reset command whenever it
hangs up, which is actually pretty handy. You could just try clearing
it so
that there is no command in the box. I have changed registry entries
for
my modem in the past and I wouldn't worry about your system crashing,
however, Win95 has a sneaky way of fixing itself, so if there still
is nothing
in your modem after disconnect, check to be sure that the entry has
not
been put back in and executed. If it has, let me know, I may still
have one
more trick.
Eureka!  You're suggestion was right on the money. I looked at the
reset
key value, and while it said "ATZ<cr>" instead of "AT&F<cr>", I
changed it
to "AT<cr>" because, I think, the modem driver expects an "OK" back.
In
any case, when I disconnect and immediately run a terminal emulator
that
talks directly to the COM port, an ATI6 returns the link statistics
of the last
call. It hasn't changed it yet and I've made a couple of calls; it
may on
restart of Windows. This oughta be in the FAQ (That is if it's
frequently
asked and I'm not the only one who wants this info). BTW, by looking
at
modemlog.txt, Windows 95 hangs up by dropping DTR and then sending
ATH. It sends an AT&F just before it dials anything. Thanx for your
help.
Colin
OR =======
 An alternative to the above solution is Control Panel >
-->Modems-->Diagnostics Tab. Then double click on the com port you
desire > the info from then click "More Info" and it will give the
output from
> ATI0 to ATI6. This is an another way to get the result from ATI6.--
 bob
Sorry but you have to set your refresh rates in your autoexec.bat
file (or
manually form the dos prompt).  MS didn't think we needed the
capability
from within win95 (TIC).___Alan J.
Unfortunaely, some of the good stuff is truncated on the right, and
there's
no horizontal scroll bar.  In any case, without changing the reset
key value
in the registry, Windows 95 always sends an ATZ down after any
disconnect, resetting the modem, and wiping out the last link
statistics.
Windows 95 modem stuff needs better statistics than just connect time
and characters sent/received.--- Colin
     7.   MS-EXCHANGE and MIME ?
Why doesn't MS-EXCHANGE just send MIME encoded binary
attachments like everyone else? We don't know? <shrug> But we can't
wait to see what happens after August 24th when all those *.rtf
attachments are unleashed upon the world. :-)
"MIME stands for Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions and is a
standard
set of definitions for non-ASCII" (non TEXT only) "email.  The MIME
standard specifies a way to include binary data attachments to
Internet e-mail messages and way to encode binary data into 7bit form
using ASCII
characters and to convert back at the other end.  The MIME standard
supports word processing documents, PostScript, graphic, binary
files,
video, voice messanges and other message types.  MIME allows for
alternative representations of the same data.  For example, there can
be
an attachment in text form followed by one containing bitmap"
(graphics)
"page images of the same information."

     8.    Internet  software (program) for win95?
Can someone point me to the right place, please?  I'm ready to get a
SLIP/PPP account and get off of AOL for Internet access.  I've read
about
different packages people use like Netscape, Free Agent, Eudora,
QVTNET
WinVN, WinFTP, etc. I'd like a definative list to get started.
Wow! Will you get differences of opinion on this!  My choices (today)
would
be:
I liked Jim's win3.x choices but here our few more to consider for
win95 and
where to find them on the InterNET.  The key (as with any software
choice)
is what do you want to do with it and what's your own "tolerance"
levels?  ;-)
For Newsreader, if you want to minimize hourly connect charges, use
FREE
AGENT because it allows you read newsgroups off-line.  Both FREE
AGENT
and WINVN decode,  binary files (like *.gif graphics)
after-downloading.  Both
are freeware but Free Agent has "more features" commerical version
for $29.
I do like NETSCAPE as a newsreader and use it often as such but the
other
two allow you to customize preferences, window screens, etc..
While I consider myself computer literate and a computer
professional, I've
shied away from Exchange as a Mail Reader because I can't even figure
out
how to send a message much less receive one (and on this one, I
refuse to
RTFM). And, then, there's the "attachment" thing.
I use EUDORA and from the beginning it was very "initutive" and easy
to use
without the instructions.  Eudora also is freeware with a "More
Features'
commerical version for around $60. We've just purchased the
commercial
version of FREE AGENT which is suppose  to have a full feature Mail
Reader.  If it's half as nice as the newsreader,I'll probably switch
to Free
Agent as my Mail Client as well.
NETSCAPE is great, but its competitors are doing some nice things. My

9.   How to set up MS-Exchange to send and receive mail
only when told?
Goto tools from the menu bar and choose services. Internet mail
should
be highlighted. Choose properties. The choose Connections. From here,
make sure that the Work Off-Line and use remote mail is UNCHECKED.
Then choose Schedule and set the time for 0. If you use a dial-up
connection, select Connect by Network. This should a fix it.

10.  Sort & Filter mail with MS-Exchange?
If you use the "Remote Mail" function, there is a simplified
filtering
available for filtering the headers, but what I have done in Exchange
is to
insert the "To" column as the first column in my INBOX folder.  This
basically sorts out personal mail, and each of the mailing lists
individual
mail.  I have created individual folders for each of the main topics
and
mailing lists I follow.  I then have to manually move the messages
from the
INBOX to the individual folders.  I also have separate individual
folders
under the main topics for TO READ and SAVED. So the tree might look
like this:
Microsoft Exchange
 +--Mail Folder
     +--Deleted Items
     +--Inbox
     +--Outbox
     +--Sent Items
     +--Storage
          +--Win95
           |  +--To Read
           |  +--Saved
          +--OtherList
              +--To Read
              +--Saved
   etc.
Changing the columns is under VIEW.   I readily admit that this is a
poor
excuse for filtering, but it is the best I have been able to come up
with in
Exchange.  It does make it easier to cope with the 200 - 400 messages
I
get every day from the several mailing lists I follow. I hope this
helps.---

7.   NETIQUETTE (do's and don'ts of Internet)

     1.   Using Keywords in the Subject Line?
What are the Capitalized Abbreviations used on mailing list messages
and
some USENET messages in the Subject Line? Topic Keyword usage in
the subject line helps the readersort through messages faster (for
deletion,
'catchup thread', saving or reading).  Many automated mailing list
servers
can sort up to 11 different topics allowing users to subscribe only
to those
messages for a specific topic. The keywords recommended for the WIN95
'Give and Take' email list forum are:
ADMIN:       ------> Adminstrative posting to List Owner or a
newsgroup
procedure
BACKUP:       ------>  backup issues and questions
BUGS;         -----> windows95 bugs (errors)
COMM:         ----->. communications (modem, Internet, fax)
DESKTOP:     -----> comments questions about win95 desktop options
EXCHANGE:     -----> Micro$oft Exchange Mail Program
HARDWARE:    -------> hardware issues
INSTALL:      ------> setup issues and questions
MSN:         ------->  Micro$oft Network
NET -----> networking related issues
OTHER:          -----> General interest or 'FYI'--for your
information
WISH:  -------> features would like included in win95 or could have
been
done better
For groups like WIN95, with different versions (builds)  of the same
product all called win95, it is helpful to readers to specify the
verison
number (i.e. build 347, build m8, or preview; build 490 June Test
Relase)
This also applies to other software with different releases such as
WordPerfect for WINDOWS version 6.1 (Wpwin6.1)



2.   Netiquette (the do's and don't of Internet
communciations)
           1.  Given the multinational nature of the Internet where
English is a
second language for many posters (email writers).  If you take
offense to
the grammar or spelling of a message, please take into consideration
the
poster's origin.  Please do not insult or flame a person whose grasp
of
the English language is lacking.  They deserve credit for the effort
to
post in a foreign language as well as the knowledge they have to
provide
to the group's discussion.
          2.  Newsgroups are set up to make public any message
posted.  If
you wish to make a private comment, you must ensure that you reply
to the original author of the message  (the individual email address
of the person in the 'From:' header field) rather than to the
newsgroups
itself.
          3.  It is recognized that quoting messages is sometimes
important in
order to preserve context.  However, please limit your quoting to
that
which is absolutely necessary to the  reply to the thread (Subject)
-- and
PLEASE delete all header lines if your mailer includes them.
          4.  Discussions that compare competing software such as
other rating systems/shells (such as OS/2 vs Windows 95) are not
permitted as a general rule in comp.* newsgroups and many mailing
list
related to computer topics. The exception are the comp. * .ADVOCACY
groups and alt.*  groups. Keep postings relevant to the newsgroup or
email list's stated Topic.
          5.  Please DO NOT post transcriptions of reviews or
articles
from copyrighted publications--even if they relate to a discussion
taking
place.  You can always cite the article in question so others can
look it up.
          6.  Please do not post Commercial advertisements or any
other
postings not germane to the subject of the newsgroups.
          7.  Newsgroups related to the discussion of Micro$oft
Windows  products have 'ms-windows' in their title.  Please do not
post windows95 discussions to groups like comp.windows.news and
comp.windows.misc.  These are for non Micro$oft products that use a
similar GUI (graphical user interface).
           8. Use "smileys" to show emotion or "tone down" wording.
Basic
Smileys are used to make  statement  since we can't hear voice
inflection
over email

                    :-)        (SMILE)  Writer is joking, smiling
(sometimes
                              Laughing Out Loud(LOL))
               ;-)  Wink smiley.  Writer says, "don't hit me for what
I just
                    said."  Writer just made a cynical or sarcastic
remark.
                :-( Frowning smiley. Writer did not like that last
                    statement or is upset or depressed about
something.
               :-I  Indifferent smiley. Writer "shrugging"
               :-0  Yawn smiley.  Writer is bored with the
conversation
.

  9. Limit your total Signature (Tag) lines. Your Signature shouldn't
     take up more lines than the average (short 5- 10 line) post
     (message). Use hard returns if necessary so the number of
     characters per line doesn't exceed 65-70 characters per line.
     Many Internet readers do not use software that automatically
adjust
     the line length to the width of the screen.  Were to find the
ASCII
     Art for your Tag line:

8.   NEW FEATURES

     1.   Animated Cursors?
Ok folks,  this is how you get animated cursors to work. First pick
the
cursors that have the green top and bottom.  These are animated and
will
be a good test to see if they work on your system.  You monitor must
be at
least 800X600 Resolution with 256 Colors.Then you select the green
hourglasses and pick apply from 'file manager'.Click, ok.  They
should
(ducking) work! I went through the above procedure.If you are not
sure
where to select the cursors, There in the control panel, then double
click
on the mouse. Update animated cursors in the Pointers Tab (screen)!
My
Computer\Control Panel\Mouse\Pointers tab Good luck. Where can I find
more animated cursors? Try this:
ftp://www.process.com/ftp/pub/win95/anicurs.zip it's big, but has
ALOT of cursors....
Does anyone know why various animated Icons move when I select them
in the properties "New Icon" window, but fail to animate on by
desktop
after I click on "Okay" to close the window??? You have something
hooked up to your system, probably a hard drive, still in"real mode"
dos
compatability. Its not being driven by 32 bit drivers. Look in your
Control
Panel, Click on System, and click on the performance tab.
     2.   System Resources Monitors?
The Systems Monitor must be installed from the CD-ROM:

3.   START taskbar  placing everything on desktop?
This is the result of deleting the startup folder (subdirectory).
Look for the
{windows}\desktop\programs\startup directory. If it is not there,
Win95
goes nuts, so add it back. The problem is a deleted StartUp folder.
When
this happens the system defaults to using the root of the c: drive as
the
StartUp Folder. This I know because I have been experiencing the same
problem.  The problem comes in with trying to create a new StartUp
folder
that Win95 will recognize as a StartUp folder.

 Windows 95 -- What happens at boot-time  Bill Wilder: Last-updated:
16-Aug-95 (W.D.W.)
Introduction & important disclaimers
 These are my guesses as to the start behaviour of Windows  95 based
on
observation, experimentation (primarily with  Preview build 490) and
some
perusing of the W95 resource-  kit. I have no special information
sources. I
do welcome any  politely  offered criticisms,  corrections  and
suggested
improvements to this document. Users that need  additional detail
should
refer to Microsoft or other  materials. The intent of this document
is to
describe normal startup as well as special cases -- previous DOS or
single MS-DOS mode.
Startup
 Installation of W95 rewrites the boot sector of the  active
partition so W95
gets control on startup -- it also  renames DOS startup files: IO.SYS
becomes IO.DOS and  MSDOS.SYS  becomes  MSDOS.DOS.
CONFIG.SYS  becomes  CONFIG.DOS and AUTOEXEC.BAT becomes
AUTOEXEC.DOS. A new  binary file IO.SYS becomes the boot file and
the file  MSDOS.SYS is rewritten as a hidden/system text file that
can be
edited to control W95 boot behaviour.
 In the absence of any special options, a reboot of your  machine
does a
normal W95 startup which includes the startup of the GUI environment.
The details of the  startup are typically hidden behind a logo
screen. If you
press the ESCAPE key when the logo is displayed, W95 will  switch
back
to a text screen which shows some startup details. Setting option
Logo=0
in MSDOS.SYS will prevent  the logo display.
 A  normal W95 startup does process CONFIG.SYS  and
AUTOEXEC.BAT if present. There is an implicit start to  the  GUI
environment after AUTOEXEC.BAT  has  been  processed. MSDOS.SYS
option BootGUI=0 will prevent the  GUI startup and leave you at the
command prompt (where  the command WIN will then start the GUI).
N.B. If you set BootGUI=0, you will load the real- mode portions of
W95
and the W95 command processor -- this is similar to but not the same
as
booting the previous DOS version (more on old DOS later). Note also
that
it  is necessary to load the GUI in order to use all the protected
mode
drivers W95 provides (e.g. 32-bit caching, 32-bit network access
etc.).
W95 loads some device drivers whether specified in  CONFIG.SYS or not
(e.g. HIMEM, IFSHLP, DRVSPACE and  SETVER). The user may edit
CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT as  before to increase environment
space or load additional  real-mode device drivers or TSRs from
AUTOEXEC.BAT. You  may also add entries to CONFIG.SYS to specify
parameters  for the drivers that W95 will load in any case. There is
an
implicit DOS=HIGH but EMM386 is not loaded implicitly  and hence DOS
will not automatically have access to Upper  Memory Blocks. W95 will
productively use those UMB's for  it's own purposes. Depending on the
number of real-mode  drivers/TSR's you need, you may wish to add
EMM386 to CONFIG.SYS, use upper memory blocks for your purposes
and  leave W95 to allocate needed buffers elsewhere.

Intervention at Startup
  The  user  can intervene at startup using  special keystrokes.
After the
message Starting Windows 95 is displayed, a user can press F8 to
display
a menu of  startup options. If you would always like to see this
menu, set
MSDOS.SYS option BootMenu to 1. Menu choices  include Normal
Startup, Command Prompt only, Step-by-step  confirmation, various
safe
startup options and an option  to load the previous DOS version (the
last
option will  only be present when option BootMulti=1 is also
present).
Keystroke Shift-F8 automatically selects step-by-step confirmation. I
recommend you use that option a few times to get a clearer view of
the
startup process -- you may also wish to invoke the option "Logged"
which
creates a  BOOTLOG.TXT file in the root directory containing lots of
interesting status.
Keystroke F4 will automatically boot the previous DOS  version. QEMM
Note.
If you use QEMM's DOS-UP facility, QEMM does  a mini-reboot that will
force you to press F4  twice to complete a boot of your previous DOS
version.

Booting previous DOS version.
Recall that BootMulti must be set to one. Booting the  previous DOS
version will allow you run your previous Windows version provided
that
W95 was not installed on  top of that Windows version.  If you press
F4
during startup, or otherwise select  previous DOS from the startup
menu,
W95 startup will  rename files as needed to complete a boot of the
previous  DOS version. Specifically (the order of renaming is not  as
listed,
but the effect becomes):
CONFIG.SYS  renamed to CONFIG.W40
AUTOEXEC.BAT           AUTOEXEC.W40
MSDOS.SYS              MSDOS.W40
IO.SYS                 WINBOOT.SYS

CONFIG.DOS  renamed to CONFIG.SYS
 AUTOEXEC.DOS           AUTOEXEC.BAT
 IO.DOS                 IO.SYS
 MSDOS.DOS              MSDOS.SYS

The system then boots DOS as before. Note that there is  no form of
DOS
shutdown. Hence when the system next  reboots (Control-Alt-Delete or
reset) the file renaming will still be in effect. Since the boot
sector always
starts up W95 initially, W95 must be able to undo the  file renames
above
to accomplish a W95 startup.
MS-DOS mode:
There are two forms of MS-DOS mode which are distinct  from loading a
previous DOS version. In one you can  specify a CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT -- invoking this  mode will cause a reboot as described
below. You can also specify  an  MS-DOS  mode that  uses  the
current
configuration (described in following section).  W95 allows you to
launch
DOS applications in a DOS box  (separate virtual machine) just as
previous versions of  Win 3.x configured for 386 enhanced mode did.
In
addition, you can now create PIF files that allow you to run
applications in
MS-DOS mode. You no longer use  PIFEDIT to edit these files -- when
you edit  the properties of a DOS application (right-click), W95 will
create/update the PIF file as needed. You may specify an advanced
property called MS-DOS mode. Within each such  PIF  you  can  custom
configure a  CONFIG.SYS  and  AUTOEXEC.BAT so W95 becomes a
means to launch various  custom real-mode environments.
Double-clicking such an MS- DOS mode icon will rename bootup files
(CONFIG.SYS  becomes CONFIG.WOS, AUTOEXEC.BAT becomes
AUTOEXEC.WOS and  new CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files are
written from  contents of the PIF file). The system then reboots and
processes these files. Note that you do not invoke your  previous DOS
version in this case -- you continue to boot  W95 but the real-mode
portion
only.
W95 prefixes a DOS=SINGLE to the CONFIG.SYS you create  (meaning
reasonably obvious,  but  I've  found  no  documentation) and also
adds a
special command to the end  of AUTOEXEC.BAT. which is "WIN /W". I've
found no  documentation for the /W switch but the effect is to undo
the file
renames setup for MS-DOS mode so that a  subsequent reboot will
continue to load W95 normally. If  you abort/reboot your DOS session
prior to the WIN /W  command, then you will continue to bootup in
your
MS-DOS  mode.
N.B.  If you have BootMenu=1 in MSDOS.SYS then  take care to request
a Normal startup when the menu is displayed upon the reboot done for
MS-DOS mode -- that will   process the CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT placed there from the PIF file.MS-DOS Mode with
current configuration.
In  this  mode you do not specify CONFIG.SYS  nor  AUTOEXEC.BAT
within the PIF file. This mode causes a  Windows GUI shutdown with
W95
retreating to real-mode.  W95 does leave a stub in memory so that an
EXIT command  will cause a W95 GUI restart. In retreating to
real-mode,
W95 will run DOSSTART.BAT if found in the W95 directory.  Launching
this form of PIF file is the same as selecting  Shutdown from the
Start
button and specifying "Restart  the computer in MS-DOS mode" but the
term "Restart" here  does not imply a reboot.

7.  Micro$oft Plus Pack?
              - Drivespace 3 (utilities)
           - System Agent (more utilities)
              - Internet Jumpstart Kit
(Additional tools beyond the PPP/SLIP and tcp/ip, 32bit winsock

8.   Full Window Drag (i.e. ILoveBunny)?
When resizing windows, instead of seeing an outline of the frame, the
whole thing sizes in real-time.  This is called Visual Enhancements
in the
PlusPack.
9.   Reduce swap file (virtual memory on the hard-drive)?
From time to time win95 build 347 comes up with the following
message:
"Not enough space on your C drive. So I start up in "command prompt"
and delete the swp. file. When I reboot, everything is fine, until a
few days
later the problem is back again.
I had a similar problem in with build 347.  My solution came from a
newsgroup answer. Click:My Computer \ Control Panel \ System \
Performance tab \ Virtual Memory tab \ Click "Let me specify my own
virtual memory settings." \ Set the maximum.\ Close
The formula given was subtract the amount of RAM from the 32 or 30.
(For instance 32 - 8 meg = 24).  Set maximum to 24.The formula's
author
rationale was if your desktop applications need more than 30 meg of
ram
something else is seriously wrong.I also set the maximum under 490
when
I realized Netscape was hogging all the free space on my harddrive.
Good
Luck!

10  Can someone tell me what quickview is?
Simply an app that can view many types of files. You can therefore
view
documents quickly before wasting the time to open the app that
created it,
just to find that that document wasn't the correct one. --- Glenn

13.   My Computer, the desktop & Start Menu - some
basics?
Actually, the Start menu is an actual series of directories and
files.  In
Explorer, go to Windows/Start Menu and you'll find a hirearchy of
folders
and shortcuts (.LNK files) which exactly matches the hirearchy of
cascading menus found under the Start button, minus a few system
supplied features like the help, find file, settings, and documents
commands.  If you wanted to, you could actually put an .EXE on the
start
menu instead of a shortcut, and if you deleted it you would lose the
.EXE.
So here the difference between Win 3.1 is that Program Manager kept
track of icons with entries in binary .GRP files, while Win95 uses
actual
files and directories (its just that the actual files are really
pointers to the
real app, like a Macintosh alias or a UNIX symbolic link).
>        -Do directories appear as folders?
Yes, and the New Folder command is the same as MD from a DOS
prompt.
>        -Does a deletion under My Computer actully delete it from
the hard
drive, or just the My Computer Icon?
Yes, but it won't get deleted until you empty the Recycle Bin, unless
you
disabled the Recycle Bin.
>       -Does every file on my hard drive show up under the My
Computer
Structure?
Yes, every single one of them. The "My Computer" shell is a very
direct
link to your hard drive, just another representation of the Explorer.
It's
more similar to File Manager than Program Manager, so don't delete
anything you mean to keep. The Star Menu is merely a collection of
links
or PIFs, but everything in your drives under "My Computer" is very
real.

>         -Does a deletion under My Computer actully delete it from
the hard
        YES.
        What you see is what you get (no pun on WYSIWYG intended -
okay
slightly)       My Computer is exactly that!!! Your desktop is
actually a
directory under Windows (which houses My computer).  Microsoft has
had
a great attempt at making a bit of symbolism.    You have a desk.
What
sits on that desk? (physically in real life as well): 1. Your
computer  2. Your
unfiled papers (and in my case a stack of unfinished work)  3. A
rubbish
bin (that sits on the floor my in a simple model like this I will
shove it onto
the desk).  Your desktop in Windows 95 is supposed to be like this,
and is.
In you computer physically is a floppy, an HDD and CDROM etc In your
My computer in Windows 95, the same can be found with additions.
Control panels, printers etc are also there.  Now hopefully, after
you
realise this, you can guess that inside you HDD both physically and
in the
Windows 95 metaphor, are files. And you don't need a prize to work
out
that if you delete the files using the Windows 95 metaphor (which is
well
worn off after you get the general idea) you DO DELETE THEM.
