Hello! I am going crazy for a silly little thing. Please help me anyone! The icon for
ZIP files never shows the way it is supposed to. Instead it insists on displaying the Windows
'default document' icon for ZIP files. If I rightclick a zip and choose icon properties, I
can set the icon to be fetched from the winzip executable instead, and all looks fine and dandy
inside the properties dialog, but after refreshing or repairing icon cache it is still the default
document icon that is displayed. If I try to change the icon enough times it will ev...

operating systems will soon face the shame of being reminded of their illegal action every time they

Hi, first of all, a very Happy New Year to everyone. Now for my problem: I use Win XP SP2 on a 2.8

are all blank ones, such as the ones you get when there is no program associated with a certain
file. Then, one by one, they begin to get the appearance they should have, but it is a real drag
which takes ages, and the PC is not very responsive while it happens. I seem to remem...

So yesterday I got fed up with using Windows on my desktop PC (I'm used to OSX Tiger on my
iBook) so I said to hell with Microsoft and installed Ubuntu FeistyFawn on my desktop. So, it's
awesome and I love it more than Windows but I see a lot of screenshots on the web with people that
have these neat looking desktop widgets, kind of like the when you put stuff from your Mac Dashboard
on the desktop. Anyways, my question is where do I get all those cool widgets and what are the best

Anybody heard of Project Looking Glass? It is a 3D Desktop environment from Sun Microsystems. It is

impressive. Project Looking Glass ...
