CMD.EXE is just a command shell and won't hook into the registration info unless you tell it. Instead of "winword", at the cmd.exe prompt, type "start winword"
This is how Win32 apps on Windows work. Notice that you can go to Start -> Run and just type in an application's name (e.g., winword) and it will load right up, without it being in the system path? This is where an overlooked but heavily used function of the Registry comes in. When a Win32 app is installed properly, it becomes "registered" with the system. Henceforth, Windows is simply aware of its presence, even if it's located in d:\programs\foo program\bin\foo.exe.
I'm certain Linux can come up with some sort of Registy-like application awareness system, perhaps using XML?
Yeah, finally. It's about damn time a Linux distribution tried to set a prescendent of some sort of a standard... one of Linux' biggest problems is internal strife (remember how GNOME started... right?)
There is a plugin for Winamp called Tara that will play all Real files. Only requirement is that you install RP8 first, so it can get at the libraries. AFter that, you can feel free to delete realplay.exe at your leisure:)
Sympatico has even blocked port 25 OH NOOO!!! Since there are ZERO legit reasons to run a SMTP server on a HOME DSL line, they are just helping fight spam by closing off points to potential open relays.
which does not support Linux, let alone the openvmx, solaris and openbsd that I have at home.
Because it's not profitable to support something that no one will call in for... again: HOME DSL LINE.
If you want to run a faux NOC in your apartment, that's up to you... but don't for a minute expect them to support it. Want business service & support? Pay for business bandwidth.
If I had to guess, I'd say you're probably vioalting your AUP in some way...
The web server is probably returning an incorrect MIME type in the HTTP header; IE makes a guess at the file's contents regardless of what the header says, while Mozilla variants follow the header exactly.
AND it doesn't crash like certain other browsers we're familiar with.
You mean like,.... Mozilla?
I've used IE for a very long time and it is WAAY more stable than Mozilla. In the short times I have used Moz, it has crashed way more times than IE has ever crashed on me. Ever. Mozilla 1.5 had this nasty habit of crashing on me EVERY TIME I exited the browser. I don't call that "stable." And NO, it wasn't the fault of any configuration or faulty hardware or any other stupid reason someone can come up with.
Citrix is just a hack to attempt to bring the same functionality to windows
Say that, but apps running over the Citrix protocol are a hell of a lot faster than X apps. ESPECIALLY over slow network links. Citrix' number one heralded feature is good compression.
I believe Roxio GoBack does the same thing, except in software. It uses a special disk driver that mounts the C:\ drive ro, and redirects all writes to a buffer file. The buffer is flushed on reboot, and the machine is returned to its original state!

YOU ARE A GOD.... ahem.
I'm assuming there was a clause in the sign-up agreement for MP3.com where you sold your soul to them.
Lesson: Read documentation!

start.exe will hook into the subsystem...
I wonder then, how Apple could have completely bastardized the FHS in OS X, yet people still consider it "UNIX"...?

Whoa.
Polly reminds me of my 12th grade English teacher... creepy!
Maybe it's an SMTP proxy.
It seems like YOU can't figure out what you're talking about.
I'd say. Wait till Bill Gates dumps his haircut and grows a full-out Santa Claus beard in the style of Jon 'maddog' Hall.

Actually, the free version allows you to encode to AAC; the pro version allows MP3 encoding as well.
Yeah, never did I say it was a good thing.

When I used IE, I just told the security settings to not install activex plugins. No more spyware.

BTW, i use Firebird now
That was Win95, and a fix was released. I think it was a 32bit integer overflow.

I do.

It's like asking Billg to backport all the new XP "features" to Win98.
Uh, those certs expired over two years ago. Also shame on the cert authority for allowing something like that to even happen.
I think MS digitally signs the patches on there.
I could be wrong, however.

A pretty ingenious idea, if you ask me.
