Hmmm... this is not the reason then. It hasn't crashed in quite a while (though I re-boot often), and I've rebooted many times since it was last setup properly, w/o any new SW additions, etc. Arrrggghhhh!!! -Neil. -----Original Message----- From: pic microcontroller discussion list [mailto:PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU]On Behalf Of Joe Farr Sent: Monday, June 24, 2002 12:30 PM To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU Subject: Re: [OT]: Windows 2000 oddity... When you shut windows down, it then saves your nice and neat desktop settings. If you don't shutdown properly or the system crashes, you can loose all the nice settings. -----Original Message----- From: Pic Dude [mailto:picdude@AVN-TECH.COM] Sent: 24 June 2002 17:01 To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU Subject: [OT]: Windows 2000 oddity... I have all the entries in my W2k Start/Programs menu laid out nice and alphabetically (yes, you can say "anal-retentive") so that it's easy to find. However, I've noticed that Windows takes it upon itself to shuffle some of these around once in a while for no apparent reason, and w/o my prior explicit written permission. Anyone know why this occurs and how to stop it? Cheers, -Neil. -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
