Windows 95/98 and NT How-To Guide


I started looking around in the Microsoft Knowledge Base, and I did a search with 'How to" as a search phrase.  Well, you see what I found.  More How To's than I know How To count.  Little joke there.  Anyway here they are.  Write me and tell me if these are more convenient in a framed page or a full page.  I really like you opinion. personally I like the idea of a full page because my original page is still open for other work.
This is a real gold mine below.

Many people don't want to go to the Microsoft Knowledge Base for several reasons. It's often too busy, you have to register and give your life story, and it reads information from your system; or so it's said??

Here's a Very FAST way to retrieve an article in text.
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/peropsys/WIN95/KB/Qxxx/x/xx.TXT Just copy the above and put the numbers in place of the x's. The article will fly to you browser, save it wherever you want.
So, when you run your mouse over a link, look in the bottom bar and you'll see the article number. You can use that if you like.
