- Problem 1:
-
- I have installed the SP and finally have 1024x768x256 on my Diamiond
- Speedstar... I am very pleased with the results except (there is always
- and except...) the screen has a slight flicker near the bottom of all
- windows. Is there any way to clear this up?
-
-
- Problem 2:
-
- I created an indestructible folder by <ALT>dragging a folder template from
- the templates folder. This folder is non-nukeable. I first tried
- shredding it... the little DO-NOT sign pops up. Then I tried checking the
- options for the folder (by right-clicking on the folder) and fouind that
- "Delete" wasn't one of the options.
-
- What do I have to do to destroy this folder?
-
- Question 1:
-
- How can I add drag-and-drop functionality to a program object? Such as, I
- have a document that I want to open in Word Perfect. I want to just grab
- the file and drag it onto the WP program object and have WP start up with
- the file as an argument.
-
- Question 2:
-
- Can I also add drag-and-drop-and-query functionality in order to have
- something like an UNZIP.EXE program object and drag a zip file onto the
- unzip object and have the system query for the working directory (the place
- it will hopefully unzip the zipfile into). I know I can eliminate the drag
- and drop portion of this by making .zip a special extension.
