Alan, I think there is a loss in translation here.  What do you mean 
by "minor game?"  Do you just seek games small in size or are you 
looking for games for children?

Here is the games page at NTWare:

http://home.ntware.com/games/

~~

Jumbo.com has a hugh repository of games.  I'll take your to their 
WindowsNT games page:

http://www.jumbo.com/games/windowsnt/games/

~~

TuCows now has a separate games site.  You might check there at the 
Chinese mirror:

http://chinese.games.tucows.com/index.html

Just click the word "downloads" next to the PC catagory.

Uh Jahmehr, you already have the program - The MS-DOS prompt.

*) Open up a DOS window
*) Type "cd \directoryname" - if the name of the directory has a space
   in it, you have to enclose the directory name in quotes, eg,
   cd \"Program Files"

Note that if you have the option "DOS prompt here" in your right-click
menu, then you can navigate to that dir in the Windows Explorer, and use
that to get a DOS window in that dir instead of doing the above.

*) Type "attrib -r *"

And done. If you have files in other dirs that need this done, just go
back to step two and repeat. When you're done, type "exit" and press
enter to quit the DOS window.

I "KNEW" I should have paid attention 15 years ago when they offered that
Elective DOS class to all 9th graders in 1984!

(If it isn't an icon-based system, I'm really in trouble now)

:o)

[SaF] Snow White

2001-05-15 Thread Brian L. Johnson

Hello to all seekers and finders...

I just got a copy of the "Snow White" worm (w95.hybris.gen) immediately
after posting my message about the MS-DOS prompt, so if any of you uses
cybertrails.com as your ISP, please check your system for infection or
have it checked.

Information on this worm can be found at:

Re: [SaF] Program Needed

 Hi Folks!

Another trick to do recursive attribute changes is by simply using the DOS
command "Attrib".
The /s switch will perform the change throughout a directory tree.
Cheers,
 Leo.

"Useful Thing-

Clear Read-Only Attributes

This utility provides a useful function in an easy to use manner.
Have you ever needed to change a folder's ( including subfolders ) 'read only' 
attributes?
This Windows shell extension makes it as easy as a 'right-click' on a folder to clear 
the 'read
only' attributes from any file copied from a cd-rom.

A brief description from the author-
"CROA is a handy utility that will clear the read-only bit of all subfolders and files 
in a specific
folder.
This is extremely useful after copying the contents of a CD to your hard drive. "

The file is 264K and can be found here-

Program requirements:
Windows 95, 98, NT 4, 2000
VB5 runtime files
