Well, apparently by finding the folder first with Irfanview, then moving the files over the right folder icon in Irfanviews "open files" box.

It's a pretty effing sad day when programmers think that it's a good idea to make a feature that makes some folders bloody invisible, not all, just some.

I'm sorry Janneppi but that functionality has been around for a long long time. At since least 98.

1) Open up My Computer
2) Alt-t
3) Click on folder options
4) Click on the view tab
5) Click on the option that says "Show hidden files and folders"

Sorted :)

Also there have been many failures of Microsoft in crucial security areas - make you really wonder.

I agree actually Fousto! The things we Windows users put up with!!!!!!!

:dozey:

Great driver support for almost anything I choose to buy for my PC
Prices which aren't hideously inflated for hardware
The ability to choose what components you want in your computer
An endless array of software for our PC's
Computer games without having to use bootcamp

I could go on.

Linux? Don't make me laugh.

I'm not on my computer at the moment, but IMO that's not the deal here, it's the bleeding UAC virtual folder thingy. I know disablebling UAC should have been the first move to make, but how was I supposed to know they have feature designed to impair computer usage. :(

Ah I think I know what you mean :) I'll have to do a google search on the forum to find one of my old posts.

This is what I was thinking about :)

OSX is Mac
Cheap is not alway the answer
I will agree for games the PC is the best
Some people have to work and run a business.
Mac has the same array of software
Mac has way better connectivity to networks and wireless
Mac has no viruses
Macs usually stays running
Macs are much easier to use and most things are well thought out
There is a reason Mac are now around 50% or greater of the market in upscale universities

I will agree with the linux comment.

You forgot the BSOD feature! :laugh:

When you think about it, it's really sad that the vast majority of Windows users know what BSOD is.

Not surprising that you would support you fellow Finn.

I think after reading this, I am going to become a Luddite.....but Windows has driven me to it...and I have XP which by Microsoft standards, almost works pretty well.
