This has nothing to do with rotaries but I just found a productivity tool
that I need to talk about. It is called Ztree and it is an XTRee Gold

clone

from DOS days. IMHO and others feel this is the finest file manager ever.
Apparently it goes under the XP Windows gui as it views graphic files,

copies files,

moves files, loads files into editors  and executes program lickity split

while providing

an overview of your hard disk contents. I use it on three operating

systems.

DOS, Linux and now Windows XP.  I could not do this newsletter without it.

This looks like it might rescue my old BASIC programs - is it Dinasaur
friendly for ol fogeys?

Quick Basic works fine in a command window under XP.
Yep. If you like the old legacy command line stuff the Windows XP gui with all its 
"My" this or that warts is  particularly obnoxious so consider this.

      Remove the Shared Documents folders from My Computer
      =========================
      One of the most annoying things about the new Windows XP user interface is
      that Microsoft saw fit to provide links to all of the Shared Documents
      folders on your system, right at the top of the My Computer window. I
      can't imagine why this would be the default, even in a shared PC
      environment at home, but what's even more annoying is that you cannot
      change this behavior through the shell
      : Those icons are stuck there and you have to live with it.
      Until now, that is.
      Simply fire up the Registry Editor and navigate to the following key:
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \
      Explorer \ My Computer \ NameSpace \ DelegateFolders
      You'll see a sub-key named {59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee}. If you
      delete this, all of the Shared Documents folders (which are normally under
      the group called "Other Files Stored on This Computer" will be gone.
      You do not need to reboot your system to see the change.
      Before: A cluttered mess with icons no one will ever use (especially that
      orphaned one). After: Simplicity itself, and the way it should be by
      default.
