When was the last time you ran into an error message? Well, Windows is full of them. Like, when a Web page won't load because its connection is down. "The page cannot be found" error is actually a Web page sitting inside your SHDOCLC.DLL file! Thanks to an adventuresome Gnomie, you can pull it (as well as others) up at any time. The URL syntax is: res:// [path] [file] [reference]. The SHDOCLC.DLL [file] is usually found in your System folder. So, its [path] is: C:\ Windows \ System (or System32). This is immediately followed with a forward slash and the appropriate internal reference, which is an HTML file in and of itself. No spaces, folks (just like a Web site). Ready to see those suckers? Replace the [reference] with: http_400.htm, http_403.htm, http_404.htm, http_406.htm, http_410.htm, http_500.htm, http_501.htm, http_gen.htm, servbusy.htm, syntax.htm, navcancl.htm, offcancl.htm, policyerror.htm, policylooking.htm, policynone.htm, policysyntaxerror.htm, privacypolicy.dlg, preview.dlg, printerr.htm, printnf.htm, printnof.htm, printunk.htm, wcee.htm, ietext.bmp, ietext256.bmp, world.bmp, world256.gif, ie.gif, ie256.gif, orgfav.dlg, about.dlg, analyze.dlg, bidifind.dlg, docppg.ppg, error.dlg, find.dlg, findic.dlg, ieerror.dlg, imageppg.ppg, orgfav.dlg, and pstemplate.dlg. Wow!
