"Save As..." dialog box and folder shortcuts
Hi everyone,
as some of you might know, the Windows 98 "Save As..." dialog box, besides being too small, clumsy, etc., has one annoying behavior. It lets you double-click through a folder shortcut, while replacing the name of the file to be saved with the name of that shortcut. (The next paragraph is a more detailed example if you don't know what I am talking about - so you can skip it if you do!) Here is an example. You want to save a file called "example.xxx". On your desktop, you have a shorcut to a custom folder somewhere deep inside your hard drive. Say this shorcut is called "Folder.lnk". Now, you click on the Desktop icon, and then double-click on "Folder" (note that .lnk extensions are not displayed by default even with all file extensions enabled). The Save As dialog box indeed takes you to the folder that the shortcut is referring to, but now the "File name" |
