Earlier on you were having problems with the Windows association to WinRAR, so I popped in what I knew was confusing you and some others. I just want to address this once more for your own clarity, and because as a Windows user still, this is important to know. WinRAR is a very powerful archive tool, and considered the best GUI interfaced program of its kind in that platform. The latest version have improved in that they can now natively work with ISO images. This isn't a plus for those of us who might be downloading/burning Linux ISO's from Windows. We don't want to open then in Windows for any reason. Outside of that, being able to open, extract from, add to, and even create our own ISO's is a very cool feature. I've been using WinRAR for a long time and prefer it over any other choice in Windows. If having WinRAR associate ISO's to itself causes you concern, no problem. Go into the preferences of the program and find the section that handles associations, then uncheck the last one for ISO's. Windows Explorer and My Computer (one in the same) will change the icons on all ISO's to the plain generic "I don't know what this is!" icon. I was also wondering if you had both My Computer and Windows Explorer set to show details. In M$'s infinite lack of wisdom, file details are turned off. All you have to help you figure out what a file is, is just the icon. Terribly confusing. If this has been turned off, you should turn it on. As you make the transition from Windows to Linux, you will come to appreciate seeing the full name of the files you have on your system. Good luck as you transcend to a higher and more rewarding plane of computing. Remember, it's OK to get mad while in Linux. It's only temporary, and relief stays with you a long time...unlike in Windows. :-D T
