Then with your four fingers still on the trackpad, move them to the side. (I moved mine to the left). Then you can select which window to make current.

My work's illegal, but at least it's honest.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
It should have a little animated paperclip that pops up and says, "It looks like you're trying to actually do something here! Would you like help with that?"

But that (at least in the opposite direction, on Vista) is so damned slow.
Maybe they improved it in 7. I don't even bother to unzip files, I just use the zip file as a folder unless I need it unzipped to work with an app.

it's a Mac, dammit. I should be able to intuit a next step.

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

Heh. I bring mine to work everyday, so I can have access to all my music.
Of course I'm probably shortening its life with all the hauling around....

The zip files I'm working with have over a thousand pieces in them, and it helps to see thumbnails, so I have to explode them. And natively, it takes forever and freezes the explorer window for the nonce. I think it's WinRAR I have installed, and it's spiffy fast. Much prefer it.

Hush you. *I* knew how to zip files.

Weird, maybe it's a Vista thing. I use zip files with thousands of source code files and it doesn't seem to have any troubles.

So...it zips them when you say "archive", but then does it PUT them somewhere?? Because that's what i associate "archive" with. And that's what I'd be scared of, if I clicked "archive", that it would put my files somewhere I couldn't find them!

Oh, snap!

That's what I was worried about, too, but I tried it, and it puts them in the location where the files originated (i.e., the desktop, or the specific folder o' documents).
