Slow down there big guy! You're jumping into the deep end, stay in the shallows for a little while with some water wings! You should probably learn the basics of computers and software before you go trying to program. You'll save yourself a lot of frustration and possible file damage. You need to fully understand the filing system used on the hard drive. You need to understand directory structure and file naming. You need to understand hardware types and settings. You need to be adept at finding, moving, copying and re-naming files. Any material used to train for A+ certification is an excellent place to start. Just using the windows help files and going through them is a great way to learn about the operating system. There's also resources on the internet. Crawl, walk, then run. When I first started back in the early 90's with my 486SX25, I jumped into the Autoexec.bat and config.sys files once I got tired of solitaire. Boy did it ever get ugly before it got better! I took a self inflicted crash course in computers during two late-nighters in a row! [img]graemlins/goodmorning.gif[/img]
