You can put a shortcut to any folder/drive in there--then r-click on any file, hit Send To in the menu, and the file will be transferred over to that folder.
Believe it or not, most e-mail viruses come from people you know--inadvertently sending them on attachments that they received from someone else. "I got this cute little poem from Aunt Matilda who got it from Cousin Susie who got it from....---just thought you'd like it", etc. etc.
I treat ALL attachments/unknown/known senders as a potential virus carriers--just a good habit nowadays. I don't even bother opening what is obviously spam and ESPECIALLY watch those *&^%$ buttheads that have Subject lines like: "Concerning Your Account" or "Need This Info Now", etc.--looking like legit inquiries. Scan EVERYTHING.

Evening everyone.

Knocking on wood {BEATING on head} where viruses are concerned.
Where I work, you use the terminal an the policy is if you add anything you are fired. NO, Internet period.
And believe it they just replaced the last 486. Because it could not do its job. with 4MB of ram no wonder. Wonder why no one told them what the real problem was??

https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ That's the policy in a lot of work places--gotta keep those systems clean--time down due to a virus because of some poor schmuck who downloaded a corrupted/infected copy of a "Roy Rogers vs Duke Nukem" game means money/production losses. Have to enforce "Computer Concentration Camp" practices.

Finished round one of the PC Mechanic site.
Whoooowheee. Crossed eyeballs for sure.
Thanks a lot.
Now do you have a link to where you posted the power requirements handy? Just wanted to do some verification work.

I'll put them right here:
Add up the total wattage demands of your system, then check the PS to see if it's adequate. Yes, the system may run anyway, but it's like plugging too many appliances into one extension cord---one of these days it's gonna blow. A good rule of thumb is 150 watts for M/B, CPU, and RAM and then 12 watts for each card and device (including fans). You can see how a 200W or even a 230W PS may not be enough. Here's another list--your actual wattage may differ slightly--best thing to do is check the documentation that came with each of your peripherals:
High-wattage AGP card 20 - 30W
Average PCI card 5W
Cached SCSI controller PCI card 20-25W
Floppy drive 5W
10/100 NIC 4W
50x Atapi CD-ROM 10 - 25W
10x Atapi DVD-ROM 10 - 25W
8x / 4x / 32x SCSI CD-R/RW 17W
SCSI CD-ROM 12W
RAM 10W per 128MB
Ultra2 SCSI PCI card 5W
5200rpm IDE hard drive 5W - 11W
7200rpm IDE hard drive 5W - 15W
7200rpm Ultra2 SCSI hard drive 24W
10,000rpm SCSI drive 10 - 40W
Motherboard (without CPU or RAM) 30 - 40W
550MHz Pentium III 30W
733MHz Pentium III 23.5W
300MHz Celeron "A" 18W
600MHz Athlon 45W
I.E.: If you have a 200W PS, you are limited to only 4 IDE devices--example:2 hard drives, ZIP and a CD---add additional IDE devices and you're overloading.
Like i said--wattages of various makes/models can vary--the only way to really
verify is to look up the specs in the manual or a label on the component itself. But the above is a good rule of thumb.
A 300W ps really should be the minimum for a halfway decent system--350 a little better (more breathing room). Of course you don't add in any external peripherals that have their own power supply (now I just had to say that... https://discussions.virtualdr.com/)

GOOD LUCK ! Train
Even I can't find which shoe I put it in !

Train-- LOL https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ "Post"? WHAT "post"?
Q_O_H: hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, but usually when you get that "CMOS checksum invalid" message, it means the battery is going south. Be sure the new one was the right type and inserted correctly--or check to see if perhaps you put the old one back in by mistake. If you are sure everything is OK, try going into the BIOS setup (there will be a prompt for that at boot-up) and set it for "default values"--save settings and exit. before it reboots, power off. Then turn the system back on and see if that message comes on again.

bistro,
I moved. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
I had trouble finding the battery in the first place. $16.00 for something the size of a quarter !
It didn't have a tiny little piece of metal soldered on it like the old one did.
I had to really pry the old one out.Stuck in there pretty good. When I bought it it was in a ziplock bag with several others. Not NEW obviously. I had looked everywhere for it, even Radio Shack. This place fixes and repairs. I do have my receipt. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
I'll try this and see what happens.

Q_O_H: Did you have to break anything to get that old one out? Check something for me: Go into the BIOS and make sure the date and clock are current. Then save the settings and exit. Power down immediately after it saves and starts to reboot. Wait about 10 secs, then power up again. Go into the BIOS again and see if the date/clock remained the same. I got a sneaky suspicion..... https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

No I didn't have to break anything, It had a clip on top and the little metal thing was pointing down (like a tab). The new one didn't have that.
I tried to reset the clock. It was on 12:01 Date 01/03/1980. It let me fix the clock but would not take the date. Kept going back to 1980.
I also reset the defaluts too and did everything else. Then when it came back up there was that message again.
Maybe the battery needs the little tab ?
