johngalt Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 (edited) Here is a guide that you can download - opens an html page with an XML db of items that open in the page - lots of *really* good info - I have this on my HD just for informational purposes.... Here is the link as well for the site where it can be downloaded from: Marfer's Notes for XP EDIT: Spell-checked - must have forgotten the first time. marfers_xp_notes.zipFetching info...

johngalt Posted May 1, 2004 Author Share Posted May 1, 2004 Oh, and BTW - if you downloaded the zip, then you need *both* the HTM and the XML file in the *same* directory to work. But I would have figured that was just a bit obvious....

xplatinum Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Ya know what buddy, I don't use IE and that seems to be the problem. Next time someone tells you something is not working, why don't you try do understand why instead of acting like a smartass and taking that person for a n00b ? Got it ? Good. OH and by the way, its his damn bookmarks that doesn't work anymore, not his xml db.

johngalt Posted May 6, 2004 Author Share Posted May 6, 2004 because the site is not mine, I just put it up for [people to get the notes downloaded to their own page.... Hmmm, let's see - a site that is not mine... that means I can't edit the broken links, right?

The forum topic is a collection of essential guides - and that is what I was aiming for with the introduction to the Neowinians of Marfer's Notes. Nothing more, nothing less. If someone wants to get touchy with me, I get touchy back. Plain and simple. I am trying to make things available for people and if it is not my site, don't complain to me about things on the site that you don't like. 'nuff said.
