I agree with everything you said. People are still smarter than
Google and they answer questions google can't.

BTW, I tried googling for it first and all I could find were ways to
change the letter assigned to the drives. That was pretty good, but
not what I wanted. Google looks for words in a row and words not in a
row but not for thoughts or the meaning of sentences.

Yes, but if one uses the advanced search, or knows how to construct
the queries manually, it can be very good.

You beat me to it on that. I'm surprised how few people use the advanced
- I have http://www.google.co.uk/advanced_search?hl=en as my home page.

I use that occaisionally but i don't find it esp. helpful very often.
When I want to exclude words I put a - sign in front of them**. When
I want exact wording, I put double quotes. (It ignores them and other
requests if it doesnt' find enough hits with exactly what is asked
for.)

**Sometimes I add terms in subsequent searches, going through my
results and finding some term that keeps showing up, and I add one
more -word after another.

You can always use the top box just as you would the ordinary Google
page, so you've actually nothing to lose.

You don't get to see the fancy graphic often on straight google.com!

For 2 years I used the Firefox version of the www.google.com and I
missed all those clever things.

hmm and how one do the Search when he get this Error::
The following file is missing or corrupted: D:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
The following file is missing or corrupted: D:\WINDOWS\DBLBUFF.SYS
The following file is missing or corrupted: D:\WINDOWS\IFSHLP.SYS
The following file is missing or corrupted: WIN.COM
Cannot find WIN.COM, unable to continue loang Windows

You search for the PHRASE "The following file is missing or corrupted",
or the phrase "Cannot find win.com", or "unable to continue loading
Windows".

I agree with that. Searching for the exact error message vvery very
often works very well.

and the man say all I did is add a new Hard Drive!
For may XP work ok but unable to call up my Win98!

Now How you Bing it!

No idea; I don't know if Bing has advanced search capabilities. It
probably does - I'm just familiar with the syntax of Google's, so I
don't feel the need to use Bing.

Say all you did was add a new Hard Drive and you get this Error::

The following file is missing or corrupted: D:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
The following file is missing or corrupted: D:\WINDOWS\DBLBUFF.SYS
The following file is missing or corrupted: D:\WINDOWS\IFSHLP.SYS

C:\
Cannot find WIN.COM, unable to continue loang Windows
C:\
For it all at E:\WINDOWS\ now!

But XP work good. but unable to call up my Win98!
All you have to do is make a two new Partitions new HDD!
Copy your old HDD Win98 Partitions to the first Partition or new HDD
and make that first Partition bigger then the old HDD Win98 Partitions!

Or just remove the new HDD from the co

J. P. Gilliver (John) we like you we always get good Info from you!

The advanced page does that for you - it even shows, as you type, what
the line would be, with - and ", without it.

I want exact wording, I put double quotes. (It ignores them and other
requests if it doesnt' find enough hits with exactly what is asked
for.)

**Sometimes I add terms in subsequent searches, going through my

Me too (-: [either using "-"s or the advanced page]

There _is_ that, yes. I do wonder what people are on about sometimes (-:

Program that changes drive letter D: to G: for example.

Five or ten years ago I had a freeware program that would scan the
harddisk and find every place where a drive letter of your choosing
was used, like C: or D:, display a list of them, and give you the
opportunity to change some or all of them to some other drive letter.

Does anyone remember the name of that program? Or part of the name.
Or the author's name?

It would look in the registry and all the .bat files and shortcuts
and
some other places that didn't come to my mind years ago until I saw
the author had thought of them (and don't come to my mind today
either.)

It had a simple gui, nothing fancy, but did have white squares,
probably with scroll bars where the names of the files appeared each
with a check box probably.

I have a great need for something like this now.

My suggestion would be to 'google' for it.

That doesn't always work, especially when you don't know what to call
it.
Based on his information, I concluded he wanted a now forgotten drive
letter
assignment program. What he *really* wanted was a now forgotten
application
mover program. Had he not come here, he might have not gotten his answer
*or* the idea of doing what he wanted by using another method altogether
instead of wagging the dog.

Google can be very helpful, but you have to know its limitations (or
rely on
luck).

I agree with everything you said. People are still smarter than
Google and they answer questions google can't.

BTW, I tried googling for it first and all I could find were ways to
change the letter assigned to the drives. That was pretty good, but
not what I wanted. Google looks for words in a row and words not in a

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now How you Bing it!

I don't know about Bing, we're not discussing Bing.

I just copied the above into a regular Google search and got this.

http://www.computing.net/answers/win...rs/164060.html

As a 'for instance', you can use advanced search to remove HiJackThis log
results from queries of filenames (provided they post the complete log, you
can eliminate documents with their "banner" in there). Of course, there are
now quite a few other programs whos logfiles are posted willy-nilly all over
the internet.

....and blogs, if you can find an effective keyword.

I used to too. Actually, I discovered the regular page when I used IE
once, but Firefox has its own version of the page, which somehow is
offered to a new installer of the program, and which I made my home
page, and somehow I thought I had to use that one or googled wouldn't
work with FF. Then one day I got tried the simple name, and it
worked just as well.

Though its habit of movign from the center to the top of the page when
I first type in it is starting to bother me. I guess it does this so
the fancy graphics can start out above the entry field.

Change the Drive Letter of a Volume

Description
Changes the drive letter of volume D to Q. If you modify this script to
change the drive letter of a volume other than D, note that the volume name
in the WQL query must include both the colon ( and two slashes (\\). Thus
drive C would look like this: C:\\. When specifying the new drive letter,
however, you only have to include the colon (in the sample script, Q.
