Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

(I need to not spend valuable work time making up merit badge requirements for the Geek Scouts.)

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

(The rest of us need you to do exactly that, so we know what merit badges we qualify for, and which we need to work towards)

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

The requirements for the actual BSA Computers badge include:

8. Is it permissible to accept a free copy of a computer game or program from a friend? Why or why not?

I want to know if "Duh - all my software is open source!" is an official BSA acceptable answer. (or, really, I probably don't...)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I can no longer click on File in any folder window or in Windows Explorer, nor can I right-click on the folders or the Windows desktop.

Connie, have you tried rebooting the machine yet? I've never had that exact problem, but once in a while I've seen similar weirdness that vanished upon restarting.

Multiple times. This has been going on for a couple of days, and I don't leave it on all the time.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I forget if there are folks here who use SQL Server / Enterprise Manager....

Anyway, I gotta create this huge script (based on our development database) to create a bunch of tables, views, stored procedures, etc. The problem is that when the script is run on our client's servers, it errors whenever it encounters a view or stored procedure that uses a view that has not been created yet. As a result, we spend hours rearranging the order that things get created to prevent this.

Is there a better way?

Have you tried a system restore? Run msconfig, and pick a restore point from before the trouble started happening.
