Spike ,'Get It Done'
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!
I just use the zip file as a folder unless I need it unzipped to work with an app.
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.
You didn't get the program that beams the knowledge directly into your brain?
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).
I got the Netflix Wii streaming disc today and it's swell. So now I've got the Roku in the bedroom (and Steve has my old Roku at his place in Boston, with which he watches my Netflix queueue and my Amazon Unbox purchases - totally legally). Not bad.
I just realized that my fairly new laptop doesn't have a good scanning application. The one it has will only scan at 300 dpi tops, and I need to be able to scan at a higher dpi for the photo book I'm trying to put together.
Any ideas on a free/cheap scanning application?
You could check the website of the company that makes the scanner, they might have free software for scanning.
I can't find the disk that came with the printer. It is a Dell 942. I have a scanning interface loaded, but I can't scan at higher than 300 dpi.
Does anyone know if this is due to the scanner itself? Or do I need to find different software?
