Delete files from the recycle bin? Of cour-

Undelete. Heh. Freeware undeleting utility (http://www.softwarepatch.com/software/filerecovery.html)

[Sylvander]

Anything sent to the Recycle Bin can be "Restored" [by Windows] to its original location.
Just right-click on the item and click "Restore".
Win95 also included that capability.

tks syl. I appreciate your help.

[123456]

I thought you meant restoring files already deleted from the recycle bin.

[Sylvander]

It's a bit like an ink blot [almost].

You see a lady in a wide brimmed hat, and I see a fish. :D

A change in the DNS search order will?

Disable dns browsing

Will tell a computer where the system is located

will tell the computer where the DNS server is located

or

will prohibit access to the remote networks?

And

You created a file in win95 called longfilenames.doc. When you boot in DOS and you can't find the file, how would you?

reboot into windows and resave the file with DOS support

In DOS look for longfi~1.doc

reboot into windows and resave the file using another file name that is not longer than 8 letters plus 3 letters file extension

In DOS look for longfi~1.doc


My guess in the last question is In DOS look for longfi~1.doc

Can someone please help me out with these. I would really appreciate it.

TIA

"When you boot in DOS and you can't find the file, how would you?"
Why boot into DOS?
Not sure what it is you are attempting to do.
I'd use the "Find" facility in the "File Manager" [Linux based environment I think; has long file name support] on the EBCD ["Emergency Boot CD"] to find the file.
Then you could use File Manager to manipulate the file.
Not sure if it can read doc files, but it certainly reads text files, and can edit them also.
And you could delete the file or copy [or move] it to another location [another drive perhaps].

Or you might use a bootable Knoppix CD to access the files.

The thing about questions is that most probably the answers are only likely to be as good as the question asked.
If the question is well framed, then the answer has just as good a chance to be well framed [appropriate to the question asked].

24giovanni, these other two look suspiciously like a homework question?.?.
It has been a long standing policy here to NOT give answers to homework questions but rather a source for your research.
I am sorry but at the moment I can not think of a resource to refer you to. Maybe someone else will be able to give you a link for this soon ;)

[24giovanni]

baseman sorry...it's not homework just questions people are asking me which I don't have an answer for hence posting in the forum.

Looks like homework to me too, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and try to sort it out.

Long filenames and DOS limitations are why I always try to stick to the 8/3 naming convention. If it were me trying to access this file in DOS, I would rename it in Windows with 8/3 format, then it would be accessible in DOS and modifying it would not open up the chance for craziness. Actually I would save it that way to begin with and the problem would never exist...a habit left over from learning on XT and 286 machines running DOS only. You can locate the truncated file in DOS as you mentioned, but I would be leary of trying to modify and save it due to the DOS long filename limitation. You might end up with a completely useless file.

I know little about how DNS search order works, so I won't try to deal with that one.
