Are you one of those people who names inanimate objects? Like your car... or your computer? Well, you can RENAME "My Computer" real easily. Click once on the "My Computer" icon (select it), then hit F2. At this point you can type in just about anything you'd like--name it "Bob's CPU", "Cool PC" or whatever. Get creative. (thanks to Scott Jung for reminding me)

Many of you asked where I got Windows 98 from... well, it hasn't been officially released, but you still should be able to purchase an older beta at http://www.microsoft.com/windows98/ -- but get there as soon as possible, they only have a limited amount left. Remember, this is an older Windows 98 beta...

Trying to figure out how to change a file's extension easily? You can't go wrong with the free utility, ChangeExt. It does that and so much more--one of those "MUST HAVE" add-ons for 9x/NT. You can snag it at: http://www.i2.i-2000.com/~mbreaton/jacs/downloads.htm You'll wonder how you ever used Explorer without it.

Looking for more great freeware and shareware? You should always check out the sites featured in Lockergnome. This might go without saying, but why do you think I list the download *AND* homepage URLs? Many times these authors have other great downloads available at their site, but I can't feature all of them. Do some exploring and you might end up with a happier hard drive.
